I didn't get that far into the specs... The S58 is going to be a superb engine. As for size even my M2 is bigger than my old old E21 3 series. But getting over 1.7t is getting ridiculous.

I could quite happily take a stelvio for next family car if only i could get over that reputation for falling apart. which alas coming with woeful resale values.I could live with this... God I wish they made a wagon version with three pedals![]()
i think the guilia/stelvio is ok for reliability these days, no worse than any other european brand. but just get a guilia - stelvio is dumb... guilia has a decent sized boot and get a roof pod for excess crap if need be.I could quite happily take a stelvio for next family car if only i could get over that reputation for falling apart. which alas coming with woeful resale values.
Stelvio is SUV. Stelvio is shit.i think the guilia/stelvio is ok for reliability these days, no worse than any other european brand. but just get a guilia - stelvio is dumb... guilia has a decent sized boot and get a roof pod for excess crap if need be.

I'd be pretty happy with a ""base" 2.0.... 280bhp is pretty adequate.Stelvio is SUV. Stelvio is shit.
Would seriously consider a Guilia Quadrifoglio if I was in the market for an RS4 / C63 type car, and that includes the amount of grief I'd get from my Alfaholic mates I've been happily giving shit to for decades.
I had two actually and this was before I moved to Australia.you had a TVR??!
nothing says inconspicuous like a tvrfrom the dealer's house.
I was aware that M40 V8s could be dropped into E36s with suspicious ease, almost like they were designed to go in there.... but a V12?You really mean an M72B54 in an e36 with 6 speed manual transmission.
Haha so very true! You can hear them before you seem them too!Nothing says inconspicuous like a TVR
Coming from CRC so the cost of returning would probably negate the saving anywayCan you grab those and return the new ones?
To be honest, the Shimano road wheels are great. There's not much that runs as smoothly and reliably on the road, though they're a bit like Mavic in that all the internal rim widths are still stuck in 2002. These have done ~6 years of service without a hitch, but the brake tracks are wearing out, the carbon laminate is starting to flake and I've lost three spokes in the rear in the last 3 months. Anyway, gone to DT for something that'll last another 6 years and the additional benefit of unbeatable ease of servicing.Oh well, on the plus side you dont have to use shimano wheels anymore!
eww. rim brakes... insult to injury!To be honest, the Shimano road wheels are great.

Some conversions put the radiator in the boot with a heap of duct work. Others place the radiator out the front. Popular budget drift car setup in Eastern Europe.I was aware that M40 V8s could be dropped into E36s with suspicious ease, almost like they were designed to go in there.... but a V12?
