"many E46 M3's came back withproblems that came of a result of aftermarket pulley's, that underdrive the cars charging system. Not always the brightest idea on a car, with more electronics than their home"
I am assuming that these people changed the pulley's back out and took the car back to the dealer and got work done under warrant. (Bastards)
You and your teacher do not understand the system as it is described by BMW. This is new as far as I know; it's not the same as on current Ms where the AC compressor will disengage under hard acceleration. Did you actually read BMW's description? They say it will save fuel. So, either they are lying (hard to believe with the scrutiny this car will receive) or you are wrong. Nothing personal, I just don't think you are reading exactly the way it is designed to perform.
Bottomline here is that it won't improve MPG (eg; 24mpg average vs 25mpg average) And thats all I stated.  |
