Wow, I'd love to see a picture of that my 603 is sporty for a diesel but my wagon would never go that fast lol

Anyone that thinks a 240D is slow drives too fast.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Absolutely sounds like an OM. Listen at about 5:20.

Love to learn more about this motor/trans.
