Time It Takes To Heal From Bunionectomy

The gap that struck

Sometimes, in the automotive industry, but increasing, you get answers to questions that no one has made. Even the blessed 3 Series Compact BMW was such a response. They chopped off the rear of the sedan along with the second pair of doors, and put the rear axle for a piece to the front. Already there was no room for the backbench, if the front row was not Lilliputian genes. Somehow sold anyway as part of the cut bread in the group, which now runs the Mini and 1 Series.

Here we come now to the problem that I see in the 1 Series has always been: Why was the 3 Series Compact does not continue to be built? Finally, it differs from the 1 Series in only the point that it has two doors less. The weaknesses, however, are exactly the same. Since most customers in the target group to a maximum of two will be on this car, it is worth the existence of the back seat did not. The place that you could save there would come the boot benefit, because that is a minimum solution.

was probably one in the head department of BMW believe that too much money was available and had to be somehow squandered senselessly. So they developed into a new car in an existing problem and sold it as a world first. The people and the press reacted like Pavlov's dog drooled and blithely go on it, rather than think about what in the 1 Series is now to be so groundbreaking. When the time was not the most expensive and most expensive lift ever.

Now the 1 Series comes as a coupe and convertible. I do not know what to make of it - a bit I feel reminds me of the old BMWs that existed before the 3 Series. But why not the 1 from the beginning it was designed? It seems likely that it was feared that the mini to bankrupt the water ...

How Much Does A 50 Cal Cost

no people, eat shit ...

... because millions of flies can not be wrong. Looking at the buying behavior of the Germans and the eulogies of the German press in the face of VW, this spell hits the mark. Because what you all for the many Money on / with VW to relive that already looks like him:

- capital engine damage (cold blast in the cylinder block).
- Faulty air flow meter and windows (now classic).
- A butterfly valve, (which includes VW repair shops have probably never even what backup) is when you disconnect the battery again shifted completely to factory settings back.
- Salted service prices and brazen lies (eg because of the throttle valve, O-Ton: "The change we need, which has now happened to be broken after the inspection ...").
- Oh-so-modern Direkteinspritzermotoren who drink all the Super Plus, and so lose their marginal consumption benefit fully, because with "Anal" and "bounce" so there's only the 100-octane grades of gasoline under the bubbly ...
- most primitive basic equipment with a high weight.

And those are just the most obvious and widely known problems and annoyances. The real figure will be much higher. But the main thing people associate with, and that indeed the "perceived quality" is right. A couple of very clever indeed make it now so that they buy Skodas instead of VWs. Not a bad idea actually, because they pay at least not as much money for the same weaknesses ...
