So, I have to ask, why would you put any mechanical device through that kind of abuse??

It just flat doesn't make any sense...

When i bought my 94 in 05 the oil had never been changed and i had to buy a new motor. You couldn't even see the rocker arms or the oil pan had crust built up in it so thick that i had to buy a new pan and valve cover was unable to be used too. People like that need their @$$es removed with a blow torch (just my opinion though).

My first was an e34, and now I have an e39. I have yet to drive a better built car than my e39 though as far as engine, tranny, body, build quality. Some interior parts are eh.... but the rest of the car is top notch.

Which one do you have?
