haha on the subject of informed SA, one of my first conversations over the phone with my dealership some guy not to name any names (Carl) over the phone tried to tell me the car i was interested in had about 300hp and was a 3.5 liter 6 cylinder that could shut down 1/2 the cylinders to save fuel economy........Ummm right hopefully It was just Ashton Kutcher on the other end of the phone that day buy i fear it wasn't

ME. so can you tell me somethings about the engine in the 135i compared to the 128i
SA. of course I love our cars its a 3.5 liter straight 6 that can shut down the left bank of cylinders to save fuel..a high compression ratio of 9.5=1 ensures you have almost 300hp at your disposal
ME. Hmm interesting I didnt know there were "banks" of cylinders on a inline 6 engine

And that was it I couldn't stop laughing so I hung up
