Nah, most 8 owners I think dig other cars too...once you drive an 8, you appreciate the qualities of other cars for more than stupidfical reasons...

I don't think so. I think the biggest part of being an enthusiast is respect for other cars. Naturally we're all a little biased about what we actually drive, but there is plenty of room to appreciate other cars.

On e90post.com other people post pictures of other cars all the time. We even got a thread 3 pages long about a 2003 Mustang!

Heh, and alot of the older 8 drivers have moved on to other cars...some to lesser cars...you know...like crossfires and whatnot...

But alot of the members, and non-8 owners still hang out here...mainly for me...mainly...heh

I wouldnt be directing my anger at someone who was simply taking pictures...thats kinda retarded...especially if "everyone" knew the procedure as you stated earlier...

Maybe you simply smelled bad and no one wanted to hang out with you, or you might simply not be pretty enough...

Apparently you don't know the half of it. But I digress, so lets stop beating a dead horse.

Apparently you don't need to know a fraction of it to see someone picking on someone else pretty blatantly...for something that was not in their control...

I don't mind killing things repeatedly...killing them until they are dead...especially when it's pointing out reckless stupidity...

But that's just me...a "master baiter" if you will...heh

Listen, you don't know me or the situation, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't get involved.

This isn't a pissing match and it doesn't concern you. I'm not trying to be an *** but you're making it difficult.

Let drop this whole thing and move on.

Awww...so you get to be an *** to someone else...but when you get the same treatment...you get all butt-hurt...



OK...I'll play nice...

Let's just drop this whole thing and move on.

most of the time is the e-throttle...its an adjustable value in the computer...

its due to how "sensitive" or the "granularity" of the throttle sensor is set to...plus the computer calculations which interprets the inputs and decides what it thinks the driver "wants to do"...

its different in all cars, and some are better than others...most premium branded vehicles have a bit of desensitization to protect the idiots who buy them without knowing how to handle them...

Supposedly bmw is releasing a reflash in the next two weeks to address the lag at the expense of the car being louder.

imma look for the tsb
