New euro in the house for the wifey. Had to make sure it was good enough that I wouldn't mind driving it when needed. Introducing the 2021 JCW flamin mongrelryman. B48 2.0T 225kw 450nm 8spd AWD 0-100 in 5.1. 1/4 mile in the mid to high 13's. Not bad. It's a little animal on take off and zippy AF around town. She loves the thing and secretly so do I. Just got to pray to BMW Jesus that it doesn't do too many BMW things. Previous owner looked after it like a newborn. It's, I mean was absolutely unmarked and spotless. 360mm factory rotors with cooling ducts. Wonder if they'll stand up to track abuse... -

Oh there's no way in hell I'm doing it to modern cars. This was on some lancer shit box decades ago with silly gauges that started beeping when the voltage was outside of operating range -
Not just stop start. New modern cars with their stupid "smart" alternators. Even funnier is watching cars when you drop them into eco mode. A lot of them don't crank the alternator up to full charge for very long at all. EVs and how they charge their 12V lead acid battery is even worse! Also, you should never disconnect the battery, on a running car. The voltage spikes can break things. Basically while it's a "battery" it is also considered a "Capacitor" within the charging system, and helps to keep those spikes non existent. Yay for alternators being inductive.
