Diary of a BMW 318 driver....

The other day I was cruising along as usual coming onto one of my motorways,

which was very busy with inferior cars. First off, I couldn't believe that

the volume of traffic DIDN'T slow down for me AT ALL as I came off the slip

road! I had to squeeze into a barely big enough gap between two cars in

order to get onto my motorway! (The driver of the car behind me did realise

his mistake though and honked an apology to me with a long blast of his

horn.)

Unbelievably, I had to do the same again before I could get to the BMW lane.

(Why do underlings use this lane? Surely everyone knows it is for BMW

drivers only?) Anyway, once I was in the BMW lane and posing along at 110km/h

enjoying the adulation that the inferior car drivers were giving me, I

noticed an inferior car ahead of me which was not only in the BMW lane of my

motorway, but was driving at a ridiculous 100 km/h! Naturally, I got to within

a foot or so of his rear bumper and flashed my headlights to remind him he

shouldn't be in the BMW lane of my motorway and to get out of my way. Of

course, once he realised it was a BMW behind him, he did just that, but I

could hardly believe it when he pulled straight back out behind me!

He also tried to keep up with me and when he realised I would out-run him,

he put on some blue lights in his front grill and urged me to get onto the

hard shoulder so that he could congratulate me on my excellent car.

Needless to say, I was eager to oblige and when we had stopped, the man gave

me a piece of paper confirming what I already knew - that my car goes fast!

Apparently he wants everyone to know what a superior car I have, so I had to

take my driver's licence to a Police Station to be sent away to have some

points put on! (They're not free points either - they're $60 each and I was

only allowed 3). But the man at the Police Station said that because I drive

a BMW, it won't be much longer before I earn the full 12 points, and then I

won't even NEED a driving licence, so they will take it off me!

See, now that's the sort of respect you get when you buy and drive a BMW!"

+ 1 for all camry's and variations. 90% of em drive along in lala land thinking there is no one else on the road.

+1 for the commodore drivers, they always seem to want to drag off at the lights, sneak up the inside left lane and force there way in, then crack they shits and start road raging if they dont get their way then try to force people off the road. I guess when you drive a crummydore you will always have to try and

prove yourself.

i dunno what it is bout toyotas. im careful and try to be safe in my line but as soon as i get into dad's camry im a complete ass. all the demerit points and speeding fines i have ever gotten were in the two toyotas we own. even when i used to drive a falcon i never was such a hoon

I don't know if this has been said before or not...

ANYONE THAT FLASHES THEIR INDICATOR AFTER THEY START TO CHANGE LANE!!!...

I'm sure I've read that an indicator is a STATEMENT OF INTENTION and not a FACT... ...And must be used a minimum of 100 meters before any change of lane or direction...

I could be wrong... ...It just seems like common sense to me...

    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
