Comment down below what you think

Mine has to be the alh 1.9 TDI (good fuel economy, great reliability, good torque and massive parts availability)

Other notable mentions include

Mercedes: m113k, om617, m156, om606

BMW: m50/m54/b58/m57

Toyota/Lexus: 1UZ-FE, 2JZ-GTE

Mitsubishi: 4G63

Subaru: EJ20/EJ22

Honda: B series (performance)/D series (fuel economy)

Chevy: 5.3 V8, 5.7 LS

Ford: 4.9L I6, 5.0V8, 7.3 powerstroke

Dodge: 5.9L I6 Cummins (12 valve and 24 valve)

Audi: 5.2L V10 / 6.0L w12, 1.8t

the more unknown the better, I’m talking deep knowledge of BMW

I already know about the n54 index 12 injectors, the v12 lemans e53, the v16 goldfish e32

And then goes on to say people point fingers at external factors (yeah it’s hard not to point fingers at an external factor as big as Covid)

Assume you had a friend who wanted a nice and Reliable Mercedes and he came to you for advice, what engine would you recommend?

Maybe an m156?

How about an m113k?

Or an om606?

Comment down below with how you’re holding up

Whether it be an e53, e39 e63 or an f30, our cars typically use 91 octane (the good, high performance stuff)

… but there’s an issue, it’s quite expensive

I’m assuming most of us drive the same amount and just absorb the extra cost

I mean who knows maybe there’s someone out there who is actually trying to hypermile a v8 like the n62 or n63

Comment down below which one is the best

I’d either have to say the s500 with the m119

Or a late 90s diesel w140 with the om606

Comment down below if you had

I personally had an 05 Subaru legacy gt I had to sell (18 mpg and 91 octane gas in 2022 proved to be too expensive for me)

Maybe you had an inline-4 e46 that kept breaking, or maybe it was a 1.4 ecotec Cruze, or a 2.4 GDI Kia engine

Comment down below, I want to see what you think

I give you the fiat cinquecento 0.7L I2 (only 2 cylinders powering a car!)

it’s about as fast as a bicycle and it makes the 1.0 i3 geo metro look like a Ferrari

On the other hand, you have the w204 c63 amg (an absurdly large 6.2l v8 engine in a small sedan!

Agree or disagree? Comment Down Below

Basically diesels consume 30-40% less fuel but diesel is now 30-50% more expensive, negating the fuel economy benefits

If anything, there are cases in which a diesel owner would pay MORE per month over a gas car

Agree or disagree?

A coupe looks better but is less practical, a station wagon is more practical but less sexy

A Sedan is practical (seats 4-5, has a large trunk, has better fuel consumption than an suv) looks good, Handles better

I’m serious, something like 30-50-% of all cars registered in Albania in the 90s/early 2000s were old mercs

Think of cars like the w124, w123, w201, maybe even an s280 w140

Do you find it impressive or are you indifferent to it?

First they put the m112k into the c32 amg ok that’s not bad

and then they somehow put the m113 in this relatively short chassis (the power to weight must’ve been absurd)

How do you react when you see fragile ego vehicles like this?

Do they need a heavy duty bumper because they’re heavy duty jackasses? Not regular idiots, but heavy duty ones

I swear these people think every single car is out to get them/terrorize them

Comment down below I’m interested to see what the bimmer boys have to say

Me personally? Easy. E53 x5 with the m57d30 (BMW shines when it comes to I6 engines and you also get diesel efficiency)

Does any car come to mind? If so comment down below

It could either be something good (wow, this car is a rolling art piece) or something bad (this car is about as sexy as falling down a flight of stairs)
