General Car Discussion

anyone had experience with the pacifica, murano, edge, freestyle, or the axiom

Just bought a used Freestar, it's alright so far. The thing to remember is that minivans will have more room than a crossover. Third row seating is comfortable and you still have a trunk space.

On that note, anyone know why I'd be getting some vibration at around 90km/hr even after getting the wheels balanced?

^Have you damaged the rims in any way?

Not that I know of. Bought it from an old couple two weeks ago. Might have ice in there, but doubt it.

Could be balljoints then.

Thanks, looks like another trip to the friendly neighbourhood garage.

Just watched a little video on BMW's Leipzig Plant.
Link. Click on Leipzig Plant, then click Watch. Pretty cool.

I don't think that can be with twin turbos, it's got to be without.

Or maybe it is, but it sounds more like a diesel.

It is with twin-turbos

As the world’s first Sports Activity Coupe, the BMW X6 will be available in two engine variants: the xDrive50i (4.4 V8 engine, 400 hp, 450lb.-ft torque) and the xDrive35i (3.0 inline six-cylinder engine, 300 hp, 300 lb.-ft torque), both with Twin Turbo and direct injection.

Kinda sad, actually..lol

On the other hand the chip tuners are probably pleased.

500-600 hp seems realistic.

That new BMW is so V6 Mustang.

I don't much care for the design personally, but I'm sure it's going to be a great machine in many ways.

[Thor]

BMW and US Mustangs are in different galaxies.

Aero, the car is not just a machine, if it looks like crap it won't be a great piece of engineering. I also hate this cross-over fashion, who the hell needs an off-roader coupe that's not gonna go off-road and is a shitty coupe.

[Aerosoul]

Well, I figure some people like it. Personally I don't. But I know that even BMW's SUVs or (SAVs as they call them) are a joy to drive. And that's all I was really saying.

They are good to drive, my close friend and neighbour drives an X3 and for sure it's the best handling offroader in the class. But what's the deal? It's just more expensive but cheaper made 3 series of E46 gen. I know it would be better to buy a 330xi E90 but of course it wouldn't look as cool as an SUV/SAV.

uh, this is funny

Yeah I remember that segment on Top Gear.
I don't mind SUVs as long as they're not real big like an Excursion, H2, QX56, etc.
