    As if the BMW components on a Honda weren't bad enough, but the ridiculous camber on those overgrown wheels looks exceedingly stupid. What is it with the tuner crowd that they have such awful taste?

    @Franzouse: That's just generic ugly you're seeing there. Just look at the Aztec or late model Firebird where they used it liberally.

    It's kind of like when someone sees a Hofmeister kink and immediately makes the BMW association.

    As if I didn't dislike extreme camber enough, this adds a heaping helping of wasabi seasoned wackiness. Who needs this? If you aren't a BMW, don't pretend you are - or ever could be!

    Wear your past with pride! Jezza doesn't want you in the studio with your "partner?" Screw that - over and over! Walk right in! Embarrassed to be an overinflated Porsche "sedan?" No point in hiding your questionable beauty behind a layer of gloss camo - go nuts! You're porky! You're Porsche! Be a porky Porsche!

    And now...you're a Honda. Always gonna be a Honda. Step away from the nose job. It's like, you know - not always the best choice.

    I have a bad opinion of BMW owners in general (a dear friend has one now, I love her and would never say ill against her, but that's not going to save the rest of the breed, either), and this isn't doing them any favors.

    My longest interval of oil change I did on a BMW 525 after 35.000 miles, mostly driven in over 2 hour drives. It ran on LPG and even after the 35.000 miles the oil was still clean and felt like new, I changed it just because it was way over indicated interval.
    In my opinion oil change intervals depends a lot on what fuel you use and what your driving conditions are.

    I've been pushing it with my new truck. Bought used, I've since put 2,xxx miles on it. Just haven't gotten around to changing it.

    Wow, I've never seen a closeup of BMW dingleberries.

    While I go with long-interval changes, all of the vehicles are watched closely, and the cars use synthetic.

    For the record, the 3.2L I6 in the Benz holds 8 liters...this cuts down on having a guilty conscious going 15K miles...considering upping it to 20K, between changes.

    The RX300 sees 10K Mobil1 changes 'cause it's a known sludge-offender and it holds only 5 qts.

    This problem could be easily cleared up with either STP or Marvel Mystery oil. Since I'm not sure which would be best, I'd have to recommend two of each.

    My first job out of college was in customer service for Pontiac. We had a lady call in complaining that the dealer wouldn't cover her engine replacement at 45K miles on her Transport. Called the dealer and he said the woman had not changed the oil since getting the van new. Her excuse was her and her husband were trying to save money by cutting back on some expenses, and oil changes was one of them.

    Let's do the math, 45K diveded by 3K = 15 oil changes at $20 per = $300 she saved in oil changes over 3 years. The repair cost like $4,000. Of course, to this dipshit we were the bad guys. How could we possibly deny her assistance? Man I hated that job...
