Motors Chat - Round 6

Alanstrainor

Continuation from motors chat round 5

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

I've never seen it as bad!

Got my windows coats in gtechniq G-whatever number and I have to say it's great with the flies. Was told to have just water in the reservoir with it, or at least a very mild mix, and it's clearing the flies no problem.

The bumper on the other hand took me over an hour last weekend before I admitted defeat...

Ah ffs not more auto bashing..... If I wasn't a yob I'd have the merc as an auto

The E34 is a 4 speed automatic and is absolutely hilarious how long it takes to get out of 1st gear, yet is very smooth to change. The W126 is a non computerized 4 speed auto that can be bump started (I have the instructions in the manual to prove that) and it's even more hilarious, yet is also extremely smooth. The 535i is a 5 speed steptronic and I wouldn't have any other box in it, it's so nice to drive as it is. My old 520 was a manual and I would have binned it for an auto one at the 1st opportunity if someone was willing to swap.

This is coming from someone who likes manuals.

Manuals and autos have their place but outright bashing for no other reason apart from dislike is utterly, utterly pointless and stupid

I just prefer auto in anything bigger than a Micra tbh.

Auto for cruisin', manual for diffin'

That's the e39 motto....:pac:

Or if your on a road where you'll be cruising just stick it into 5th. Personally I like nothing more than dropping it down to third and blasting around bends.

Why would a front tyre "squeal" (tyre spin noise) when just taking normal gentle turns. Noticed it starting today

Had this the one and only time I put cheap rubbish tires on one of my cars. In my defense I was a poor apprentice at the time

You just don't know when it will shift and the shifts were not very smooth.

I found it to be the opposite in the 5er. Was there a manual mode on it?

How is it 'nackered'?

It's not old in my books either. I would happily drive an 80's car.

The red E39 has a manual gearbox, so that's the one to go for. :P

she's overboosting, turbo perfect. She wants a new electronic actuator. She may get it, in time...
