I feel that way when I have the rear seats out and have to drive on the freeway for an extended period of time. You could get a murffler:

But when it runs, it's quite enjoyable.

I tightened it up, there's no more leak.. hopefully.

I mean. You could just buy it :iono: it's a hell of a car and you obviously have a really good one. The F30s and the N55 engines don't seem to have typical BMW issues...

The essence of Italian car ownership, boiled down to 6 words.

I don't think i ever want that much money tied up in a car, until that money is a non issue.

mine burned about 1/2 qt oil in 3k miles. Just noticed today when I was looking over vac/boost lines chasing a CEL p2261 boost issue. I felt a narly hiccup in boost at low rpm while gently taking off. Kept doing it with the light on every 3rd or 4th take off, plus temp was 100+ degrees. Cleared codes, no obvious vac line issue. unplugged piggy back and havent had the issue today. :iono: some online shit say DV/valve issue during high heat.

Finding older Alfa's in Turkey are just as rare as finding early 2000's range rovers here.

Mine is burning twice as much oil as yours.

Hmm, is your DV stock? Might be the piggyback :iono:

Mine hiccups at around 5500 rpm sometimes, I should check the spark plug gaps.

DV Is stock. Didn't mess with that. Just a madness piggy back and their long intake that ties to the front scope.

Ran solid all Saturday and Sunday in stock mode with tune unplugged. I really think it just didn't like 100 degrees.
