When you track often enough, you need to consider the engine a consumable item. When you do, the cost matters more. If you're getting rid of your G8X before the warranty expires, then it doesn't matter as much. Quote:
How much of a discount from $25k MSRP for an exchange S58 engine from BMW? Don't forget that if you experience a catastrophic engine failure on a turbocharged engine, chances are you will need to replace your turbos as well. |

Y'all realize that this is from a magazine that famously comparison-tested a Ferrari 250 GTO against a Pontiac GTO back in the day, right?
You can compare anything to anything. I think the two cars obviously try to do something similar in a different way, but there are more overall similarities than differences. So in this case, I think it *was* a fair comparison. But, if the were comparing it to a base Nissan Altima, I would be reading it expecting some fun (and maybe some chagrin if the Altima had a few things your BMW *didn't*). Anyhow... "offended"? I guess it just shows how easily offended folks are these days. |

I've been fortunate to drive and track a litany of performance vehicles and it's really a case by case basis My GT350 was a total driver's car that I would've missed out on if I was the same BMW loyalist I was 15 years ago
