    Sudden death of Turbo on the highway ...caused by mouse dirt in the intake. Yeah.














    So, another bigger turbo came...runns great again. Old one looked very f*****...

    Love it, both the car and your attitude! Especially the absurd barbed wire on the bumper overriders.

    2 things I don't like. The barrel on top at first looked like a beer keg, I would rather have seen a beer tap on it. And the first line of the thread, containing the word dirt. I have nothing against BMWs in the dirt, although I did break a subframe bushing on an E28 doing 45 over washboards on a dirt road, but you've got no ground clearance for dirt!

    Looks like fun though, enjoy.

    Glad I'm not that car.
