But it's no surprise that your tendency for blanket generalities would fail to discern this. You're damn right about that. I call equipment like Electronic brake distribution, Anti-lock braking, traction control, run-flat tyres, side-impact airbags, park-distance control, computerised engine management systems, climate control and many others to be equipment. If you really think that BMW's only have leather and CD players to seperate them from the crap that Toyota puts into their cars and charges the earth for you are sadly mistaken. I was travelling at 140kmh on a highway once when I heard a strange noise that sounded like a trucks airbrake behind me. Looked in the rear view mirror and saw no truck, but a lot of smoke coming from the back of my BMW. Pulled off the road puzzled about what the problem could be, only to discover that one of my rear tyres had been punctured. The cars handling in that situation was unchanged even with one of the drive wheels incapacitated. Had I been in a lesser car... That's all very nice. snip Bye-bye baby. Bye, sweetheart. |
