Sorry for crappy potato pic. Its an 06 3.0 with 43k on the clock. Fun car for being as low on hp as it is. I really need to teach my old man proper car care though.

Does he belong to the BMW CCA? It'd be great for him to meet some other BMW owners. It's not stuffy either, at least not my chapter.

Why the hood looks like it's not completely closed?

Did it feel really stiff to ride in? I regularly ride in a friends and I can't figure out if its the tires or the suspension.

A '06 3.0 even has 231hp, at least in Europe. I don't get that remark either, one of the best cars I've ever had, it weights just 13ookgs...

3.0l BMW I6 low on horsepower?

That baffles me. It's got nearly 4 times the horsepower of something that I use as the benchmark for low on horsepower (1.1l Peugeot 106).

For a modern sports roadster that retails over $50,000 usd... Yes.

Retailed. This is the last generation Z4, which went out of production 6 years ago.

Also, I thought it had 254bhp rather than the 210 quoted in another comment, unless the US-market ones were detuned somewhat.

I was driving this one a little while ago, it had been debadged and blacked out logos and grill. It was a 2011 sDrive35i or sDrive35is (not sure which) with less than 4K on the clock. It had the DTC and it really sounded good, a part of me thinks it had some exhaust work done to it. This one was also faster than a 2014 Focus ST (Don't ask :)

This picture shows where we were filming our movie for school quite nicely. I live very far from here in a place called a city where people sometimes drive on the roads. This road no one drove on for the five hours were were using it.

Flame surfacing?

edit: oh wait, I'm commenting in an ancient thread.
