Was it here or another forum recently a n00b former ricer bragging about his mechanical chops wanted to know if he needed special tools to pull the front axles when he did a clutch job,,, (car in question = RWD)

the stupidity is all too common, a few years ago they concocted some sort of study about 1 series drivers and most of them thought the vehicle was fwd. I really wish i remembered where i read this.

Some people really have no business in the euro market. Stick to the easy Japan makes, gain a bit of knowledge, then buy a VW golf. After you get that down maybe buy a bimmer Lol. I'm not trying to be a posh bastard either. That's what I did. I learned engines from basic ff 4bangers and moved up to electrical systems when I bought a bimmer while still learning more about engines. I mean I'm still learning. The day I find myself a master of my bimmer is the day I delete my account here lol. Not really, I would stay and share the wealth with people. The distribution of knowledge here is what makes thus forum the shiz!

sdrawkcab ssa! So, let me try to understand what happened here. The poster or poser realized after spending what he probably thought would have been a substantial amount of cash that he was way out of touch with reality. We should save this ad and automatically link it to all the newbies asking dumb questions about HP and m badges. I hope this happens more and more for no other reason then keep this beautiful breed with the enthusiasts not with the ricer/eurotrash "do I have to use premium fuel and full synthetic oil, does it make a difference?" mutants. Ugh!
