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*****...
Z28 and SRT-10 meet the Diesel
Towing....some of you like those pics.
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.

No news...still the 3.0 Turbo runs great in my 2.5 Diesel. Everything else is stock.

Back to basic.
Summer 2022 was nice.
Glad to see the car is still being used as intended!

Glad I'm not that car.
