Did you know an elantra has DISCS all around

Also I found a TRD pro at sticker... 1800 miles away. Debating doing that road trip, but I am moving furniture this weekend and my sig other is going to shit a brick if we're in a car/truk for 24 hrs.

1800 miles? Covered shipping.

Might as well pay markup here then

Yep. How in the name of the Virgin Mary and all the saints is an 1800 mile road trip with your woman in which all you are doing is covering ground even a remotely good idea? 3600 miles on your car, 1800 on the truck, all the fking gas, pissed off AZN. Wow no.

One thing you’re missing. It’s close to Austin, I have friends there. I may make it a plandemic party trip.... they open out there, never closed really. Visit a few nice sites ok the way. I used to travel 5-6 times a year ... been home for 7 months and going absolutely bonkers with the fires and no air to breathe in the last month listening to dysons crying

Don’t remember if my buddy got his from Austin or where in Texas.. would be funny if it was the same dealer.

Asked when the 2021 trds would arrive and how to get on the “waitlist” they went dark.

I legitimately enjoy this kind of shit. I love road trips, and it's a great way to break in your new with some fun memz.

My thinking here also. This is not exactly done to save money, and it would allow for some entertainment that is much much needed at this point in time.

Just solo if isn't in.

Solo road tripping is great. Stop wherever you want, whenever you want. I miss that life.

[Melon]

Exactly.

Didn’t just talk about 3.6 failures ?

I did.

It came from a YouTube video I watched.
Also the N20 has issues, so I'm doubly watching it.

Ignoring the OCI the factory sets and going with good synthetic every 5k miles seems to be the answer for both the GMC and 328i.

My thought exactly. My last trip was solo in Switzerland and Ireland in February ... miss it so much

But them drum brakes on a yoder.

moot point either way. Can't buy that truk @ sticker

Im an advocate for drum brakes on the taco. I even supported adding them to the Colorado Work truck trims to pay for cooler shit on ZR2. All engineering tests prove that drum brakes perform just as well on the back of a pickup as disks since the fronts do even more work since there's so little weight on the rear.

Whatever. Clearly I and OEM engineers are morans.

It's a bit odd to see in 2020, but they have so much life.
For a towing package doe, I'd like to see discs all around.

Wait we sorta have similar engines. What’s the issue with 10k OCIs ?

Dirt and grit builds up in the oil, this gets on the timing chain and it can wear out the guides prematurely.
The other issue is cheap plastics for the timing guides.

[Melon]

The 328i is a 2014, IIRC they did revisions in 2015, you might be in the clear.

Ugh ... another timing chain disaster. It is abundantly it makes engines disposable by 150k miles for most brands.

I was going to go with 10k intervals on the mini but perhaps I should rethink it... modern oils should last that long imo, but I don’t want a $3500 timing chain job.

I'd change it @ 5k.
FWIW it's not a massively wide spread issue, but 100k - 120k is probably the max I'd go on the stock timing chain/guides even with frequent oil changes.
Dig into it more on your car.
I know gaskets and oil leaks are another common issue on the N20.

Yea technically I have a “B48” Motor but I’m assuming it is mostly the same. I’m at 33k now so I probably have another 5 years before I need to “care” I’ll even have it then

FWIW after 8 mostly trouble free years my stepmoms Q5 popped a turbo... 115k miles ...

Yep, and that was the plan actually. Towing pkg included trans cooler, trailer brake controller, rear disks, and rear LSD.

Yours is the successor. Most of the issues are one the early N20 motors. Mine is even under warranty for a few more months due to a class action lawsuit.

Looks like BMW motors are just as terrible as Subaru motors

I'm missing it because you didn't say it. How I am supposed to render judgment on your personal decisions without the complete picture?

Some are, some aren't.

The older stuff like the M20/30 is tractor reliable.
Some of the E36/46 engines are equally bulletproof.
Once the 00's hit BMW forgot how to make timing chain guides and valve seals.

It will be interesting to see how the B58 holds up. They put it in everything.....3,4,5 and 7 series.

It would be cool to see it actually be long-term reliable, as it is a pretty badass motor and a lot of stuff would be cool at the super cheap used BMW prices.
