No, I'm just asking questions because I'm ignorant to some of the turbo issues. I want to go into this with eyes wide open and educated. You guys have been great at feeding me info, for the most part

Oil change Brake pads and rotors Belts Etc... In BMW world things like HPFP, water pump, window regulator, or PDC are considered maintenance cost when it is really repair cost. Of course most Bmw owners know what we're getting into when we want the ultimate driving experience.

Some of the advantages that come with age: having a master mechanic nephew, and being perfectly OK with tires that can go 40K miles.

I guess I'm going through a near mid life crisis then. Just put on sticky low mileage tires on my 135i and have equally low mileage tires on my sport bikes. Plus haven't gotten the need for speed out of my system as evidenced by my track addiction running around on a motorcycle.

When I look at where I am now skill level wise versus what I was 20 years ago, I'm actually faster now as I have lap times over the years of running around VIR. Plus being able to hold my own with younger people at timed events like UDE and the M Car Control Clinic. What inspires me is watching old guys like Keith Code still able to rail around a track at the speeds he can do which will put people much younger to shame. |
