Is a limited slip supposed to make this noise when I floor it in wet weather? Only have owned open diff cars up until now

This is why you watch the other road's lights and put it into first when theirs turns yellow

Either that or a classic 911.

Upon further inspection it was just some kind of shitty 80s emissions bullshit

The exhaust was rusted to fuck and that bump was enough to have the muffler shear clean off.

Which one, the E60? I was super hyped to find out that a colleague at my new work place dailies a Ram SRT10, until I realized that the V10 in it sounds like complete shit. No V8 burble, so the closest association you can draw is "a broken V12".

nah, E39 here. has the same issue aswell. but trust me on this, its at idle only. Apparently many of BMWs S engines sounds shit at idle, almost like it has valve issues. but i can tell you the E60s V10 sounds insane at the redline.

Not as much with the E39, its actually pretty quiet for what it is

Fucking this. Except it was a ten inch thick fireplace log and a slammed rice mobile. Thankfully it only broke the transmission case, oil pan, sub frame, one axle, the exhaust, the floor pan, fuel tank, and rear bumper. Got lucky on that one.

That's your cam phasers bro. Nothing for an actual fix. But there is a company named OEM tools that sells a kit to make it stop. It's about $700 though.

Why the fuck are you changing your oil at rental car miles?

delet this

you went almost 10k miles and you're using thin ass 5-20, what do you expect

>roll window up
>rear right hubcap disappears

reeeeeeeeeeeeee

>drive out of parking spot
>massive oil puddle

>brake sinks to floor as brakes slowly apply no noticeable pressure to wheel
>O2 sensor
Every time

Uh the jug says it's good for 15k miles so I do oil changes at half that interval. I did the same thing for 115k miles in my last vehicle.

I figured it wasn't serious and that's what some of the guys at work told me as well. Just made me nervous after searching on google and seeing forums with guys saying 'I took it to the dealership and they replaced the whole motor'

That's what dealerships do, try and cover up fuck ups.

Also, change your oil more often, no matter what the jug says. 5,000 miles is the right interval for quality synthetic.

And for fun.

Took me a minute of staring at the screenshot to register the (You)'s. Anyhow, I'm not opposed to 5k intervals, I just went with 7,500 because that's what my mechanic friend recommended for full synthetic. However he said if you have a turbo you shouldn't go more than 2k because the heat of the turbo 'cooks' the detergents out of the oil and breaks it down faster.

>clunk
That depends where the clunk comes from, my suspension occasionally clunks due to the dampers in the rear going out, not really worth replacing at the moment.

Is it a Chrysler?

Where else would an auto crank?

Underrated post.
