Hey mate and the other oldies, how are you doing and the newbies

Been away too and back With the brand now , we’ll not the X variety though

Not very active here anymore but an alert from your post caught my attention

Lol, I now also have a merc too so I can compare all 3 :D Nice to hear of your A6, I’ve learnt that Audi stopped shipping those petrol V6s this way pretty early on. So they’re a rare commodity. The 640 has one of BMW’s most regarded straight 6 engines - N57. On paper the 640 has more horses and more...

thanks yeah, I do love the wheels... it is a rough ride being 20"s with runflats.. not that I care much

electronics, turbo, gearbox etc are standard worries I guess, plus the roof. I have a BMW warranty to hopefully save myself

Seems to be, on further reading so far all indicators are that TwinPower nowadays mean twin-scroll.

also the N55 exhaust manifold 'seems' to suggest the airflow being split into 2, for the twin-scroll feed setup

most literature suggests the modern TwinPower units are single turbo based. the link I sent below reads 'modern BMW TwinPower engines don't necessarily use twin-scroll turbochargers, but they do have a distinct exhaust manifold that catches more exhaust pulses to feed the turbo and thus create more ...

so.. its not 2 turbos, its not a twin-scroll turbo, what exactly is the modern TwinPower Turbo then?

one read here, which has left my head spinning like a turbo!

and the baby comes home  :-[ 





ps.. signature already changed  )

Guuess it's not illegal strictly speaking, but it can be in a motorway situation - if not under 'AVG speed' or 'stay in lane'

Has anyone been booked?

How else do u pass all the middle-lane hoggers
