QUOTE(((Xa))0102 @ Jan 29 2022, 01:37 PM) After some thinking, I told myself lets not risk it. However, - Battery failure, the battery itself I can source it for RM12-15k from China - labour and local tax idk - Suspension bottoming out - because AMG shocks and spring (aka soft compression for comfort + lowered ride height) not suitable for Malaysia roads - but then can swap out for E250 ones (some did spec this when they bought the car new) Yes But this is a waste of time, effort and money. But TS, do what you like la. |

QUOTE(diffyhelman2 @ Jan 29 2022, 02:40 PM) Got a few posters here who are suckers for cars that love spending time in workshop. Cough boy96 cough. Also got that cafe owner who don’t mind his audi that need to replace his engine block because of the driving experience. I guess getting a tow truck because car broke down in middle of nowhere is part of the fun for them. Lmao Who buys an Audi for the driving experience?! |

QUOTE(((Xa))0102 @ Jan 29 2022, 02:49 PM) It's only a 1kwH battery so it doesn't weigh as much as a full PHEV's battery. Not only the E300 Bluetec, any AMG suspension W212 face the same issue Mind you i'm still driving a 2004 Camry Camry is unkers God Car |

QUOTE(diffyhelman2 @ Jan 29 2022, 03:22 PM) But that’s the way most all racing cars and rwd are set up. Bmw inline 6 and even Honda s2000 also mounted like that. And weight distribution shifts to the back under acceleration anyway. Audi engine layout is ahead of the the front axle S2000 and BMW 6s are effectively front mid engine because the engines are behind or on top of the front axle. If Audi and BMW layout the same why Audi no claim 50/50 weight distribution like bmw? Audi nose heavy engine layout is under steer city all day unless you jam brake, then car can snap from under steer to oversteer. Haha |

QUOTE(gtfan @ Jan 29 2022, 09:17 PM) Driving a conti, the feel is different. You will never know till you own it. If you keep driving Honda and Toyota, you won't know what you are missing out there. Life is too short to be eating nasi everyday. Same je, only difference is the clunk of the door. |
