serpentracer Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) I'm sorry but bmw is kind of a junk car. every single one that anyone I know that had one always had electrical problems. and sensor that constantly failed.we had a 2002 525i on our car lot with 120k miles on it and it smoked like a freight train (burned oil) and the check engine light was on for 4 different sensors. which by the way would cost over $100 each.anyway these engines blow my mind how they workhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BCgl2uumlI&feature=fvw Edited July 1, 2010 by serpentracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 My video is REAL footage btw. Anyway...I never understood what was so special with the rotary engines like in the RX-8. Thanks for sharing that video serpentracer, that was some interesting shit that I've never seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojOH Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 anyway these engines blow my mind how they workIf anyone else is familiar with the rotary engine (specifically the rx-7). neat idea, terrible execution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 A LOT less moving parts in a Rotary motor.. really only 3 moving parts... compared with HUNDREDS in a traditional pushrod, so technically a lot less to fail.. BUT apex seals... ugh oh apex seals... and lets see typically poor fuel economy, low torque numbers and small displacement / positives.. can really hit high HP numbers with boost/ extremely lightweight/ maintianance isnt to bad if you dont mind keeps a quart of oil in your car.. lol.. in the end.. i loved my Rx-8.. i miss her greatly..

Das Borgen Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'm sorry but bmw is kind of a junk car. every single one that anyone I know that had one always had electrical problems. and sensor that constantly failed.we had a 2002 525i on our car lot with 120k miles on it and it smoked like a freight train (burned oil) and the check engine light was on for 4 different sensors. which by the way would cost over $100 each.all cars have sensors that fail................. heat and vibrations do that.. being bmw has nothing to do with it.... I ve had Japanese and german vehiclesA LOT less moving parts in a Rotary motor.. really only 3 moving parts... compared with HUNDREDS in a traditional pushrod, so technically a lot less to fail.. BUT apex seals... ugh oh apex seals... and lets see typically poor fuel economy, low torque numbers and small displacement / positives.. can really hit high HP numbers with boost/ extremely lightweight/ maintianance isnt to bad if you dont mind keeps a quart of oil in your car.. lol.. in the end.. i loved my Rx-8.. i miss her greatly.. LOL1 more thing, they use lots of oil....and yea those apex seals are a bitch.....basically have to pull the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
