i get these facts from BMW im a certified tech and get alot of training... i just took the test for the e60 m5 a couple of weeks ago!

btw the most important airflow of most cars is the air underneath it!

i'll find the exact number on power loss at what speed its cool ****

I concur with you and that is why I made that comment. I work in the aviation industry (USAF) and we stick to the highest standard of safety and quality. Craftmanshift is everything.

Just seeing that picture(picture #5) only shows you how pathetic, unprofessional and poorly done safety wiring job those guys did.

It looks like they gave a pair of pliers to a 5 year old and told them: Hey boy, he re is your tool, safety wire this turbo while having fun.

On a different note, WTF is all that Crocodile Dandy hunter crap is that on those seats , they tried to make a exotic car by inserting Crocodile skin and they got a disastrous extravaganza wanabee.
