Yep. Traffic rarely gets to 15mph. Mostly just crawling along. That would drive me crazy. Fortunately, I live five minutes from my office, and never make the trip during morning rush.
Volatility is the green car.
Ugh sounds like a pain!
EDIT: Disregard that dirt cheap touring talk, it got sold.

Delivery time!
I completed the rear fogs, rear camera and city lights just in time. Like 3 nights ago!

If I were to give my Touring a first name, I'd probably name it "Alan".
Mostly because I like puns.

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to show you my new e21 project. I love these little BMWs! I bought this car for $450 with profits that I made from a $300 e21 that I sold for $1,200! Check out the video below!

I bought an E39 touring. Diesel. Loving the economy and how it excels at being an eco daily. The noise and feel...not so much.

Welp VW got the OK to sell tainted 2015 TDI. They're knocking 5k off sticker and zero percent financing. Told my dealer to get me a red SEL (top trim) with all options and a real manual. Let's see what happens

I'm currently getting around 31 to 32 mpg on my daily 20 mile commute, which is usually morning rush hour on the highway and then some city driving, pretty decent, not as low as I was hoping for, but way way better than the 24 mpg I was getting out of the Audi. But if I do just pure highway cruising without getting stuck in traffic, doing 80ish to 90ish, I manage to get 36ish mpg, if I drove a bit slower and threw on some 16" wheels, I bet I'd be hitting 39 mpg. But I consider 32 mpg to be pretty decent for a 4000 lbs car in day to day driving.

That actually really nice. I'm currently averaging 33 at 75 highway, but it drops to 19-20 ish in town.
its still leaps and bounds better than the 22 highway I got with the E34iT in manual or the 23 I got as automatic.

About to find out how awful a 4.10 is with a 6 speed.
Anyone offhand know what 1st gear will be like...i.e. 6000 @ 15mph?

You are going from the 3.15?
A little math says you'll have an overall final drive of 3.41:1 in 6th as apposed to 2.62 with the 3.15. Revs ought to be a tad higher in 6th than now in 5th. Big change.
Does it make any sense to put that engine in those rev ranges?
My old car?
EDIT: FIRST gear? 17.38:1 !, fuggetaboudit

If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue
