It really does not need it's own section.

Look how dead the RB30 section is by way of example. Given the amount of options/configuration and issues when setting up an entire motor... Just a fuel, no point splitting off.

it's not really a matter of how dead the thread is or will be....the RB30 section has alot of usefull information and in a small location that makes it easy to find.

If an E85 section can't be justified by itself, why not an alternative input section covering e85, racing fuels, NOS, water/methanol injection etc

I like it becasue it makes Fuels a specific area

I dont know what other peoples thoughs are but on the GTR.CO.UK forum they have even made "Turbos" a sub forum so information can be found easier.

Not saying its wrong but "Forced Induction" itself is a very broad subject in my opinion

I have been searching for the complete E85 thread only found it becuase I saw this thread otherwise the search function doesnt show the thread up. So i reckon it a good idea to have it sub division only for finding the info better thereby you wont waste serve space with threads that could have been answered in one section.

I found it first shot?

Simply went into Forced Induction. Top right corner, using the search "E85 Complete"

It's the first result when using last post, obviously because you've posted in it.

Or

If you use the other filters for example "title" instead of "last post time"... It's the 8th result, and would be the 8th result regardless of when the last post was in it. It shows up no problem without the need for advanced search!

Hate to say it but the search is working fine, you are just not looking at it correctly.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
