there

Der neue 7er BMW: Live und ungetarnt in Natura! [ BMW-Talk ] - www.BMW-Syndikat.de [ Forum ]

don't like the tail lights (look like from 2 different cars) and the kidneys are out of proportion imo.

They had one when I went to training. I defenately like the interior better but Im still unsure of the exterior. I got to sit in it and mess with the controls and its defenately going to take some getting used to. The trunk is smaller than the E65. Im not looking forward to doing anything under the hood of the twin turbo v8 car. Looks like alot of tight spaces.

My brother already was at training in Munich in March for the X6 V8 TT.....and he was like "it's going to be a bitch to work on that car".

You know how the engine/turbo covers are build? If there is only one vent not like it should be, you have to replace the cover because it will have effect on the cooling.

his next training for the F01 maybe will be in November.

Yeah I swear they think that the cars never break. I dont even want to try and change belts on the X6 or the F01. Its going to be a pain in the ass. Looks like I will stay away from them the best I can.

that would be the best move lol.

I'm still asking myself what they want to do to the motor in the X5 ///M?

BMW def is going to build that car, but where they want to get more hp without killing the turbos because of overheating?

Well I think we'll see the result when it's due time.





You know why they call the X6 V8 TT "the BMW X6 xDrive50i"?

a munich service trainer told my brother thats because its just a marketing gag, to prevent them to get sued by an american!

lol

They thought for themselves:

"hm, which american wants to buy a car with a V8 that has less than 5 liters of displacement?
But we can't lie to them and say it's a 5 liter car, because it's only 4.4.......they are going to sue the shit out of us if we are going to call it like that!"


so BMW made up this synonym lol

you´re right! (i´m tobi´s brother)
It´s so f***ing tight in the engine-bay, even my Service-Trainer felt sorry for us if we have to change the belts on this engine.

It doesn´t matter that there´s a new system to (un-)stretch the belts, the whole problem is that there´s absolutely no space at the front end!!
And if you try it from below "well, theres the front axle, the front tranny and a huge load of hydraulic lines that will cause you some trouble!"

The engine´s great, but i already hate workin on it, and i even didn´t work on it, yet!^^
It´s like you try to change the timing-belt on an old Audi, you have to remove the whole front to do it!
