but most of there cars are m54 engines

The BMW M54 is a straight-6 engine, debuting in the year 2000?2006. It is an evolution of the BMW M52. The engine has Double VANOS variable valve timing to adjust timing of both intake and exhaust valves.

I feel interesting about the Valvetronic system, I found my cabin silence like Lexus during at stop light. ^

talk about others but what about the CAPTAIN???
if you studied and learnt Boyles Law, and Pythagoras trig' you must have learnt

SongBill Theorem:

stock with stock kit and stock wheels makes you a stock car=common
stock with m kit and m wheels makes you a non stock car=less common

just wanted to bring an old question up,
when are you getting new wheels???
