Am I reading this right? 550 ft lb torque?

besiktas · 01-08-2014, 03:17 AM

I got this email from BMW FFX, i was impressed by the torque figure. I dont know if 28mpg highway or combined. if combined, that is a big step forward. but i still need more HP.

425 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque according to google.

rsv4dan · 01-08-2014, 06:00 AM

That's with the manual. DCT adds like 80.

I can't believe a dealer would send out something so unprofessional. Incorrect stats, awkward use of kg, low-res, etc.

Was thinking exactly the same thing. SO unprofessional.

Imperial? Metric? Whatever.
Right? Wrong? Whatever.

iLol'd

325rider · 01-08-2014, 11:51 AM

LOL what a POS advertisement. Fvck that dealer would never give them business

grantmax · 01-08-2014, 11:59 AM

Not pictured - Underwhelming engine and exhaust note.

Simply stating "28 mpg" without clarification puts you on the hook for false advertising claims. GLHF dealership.

Not to mention people who buy these cars don't care about "FULL MERINO LEATHER".

Cas74 · 01-08-2014, 03:25 PM

Dealer knows how to attract those that don't do the research... or just wishing the M3 to have those stats. Wish my M3 had that torque!

Edward · 01-08-2014, 03:47 PM

Love the "!!!" after the 28 MPG.

Let's just take it all the way dealer.

This^. Looks like shit. What are they selling, used Chevys?

KillerM5 · 01-09-2014, 08:24 AM

You guys seem surprised that a car dealership would make these mistakes? Have you been to a dealership/stealership lately and spoken to any members of the management teams? These people to not the brightest, most educated group on the planet.

As for the torque and MPG, advantage FI. I know a lot of M-purists are upset with the move to FI but to me its these types of advantages that make it a smart move. Should be a great car.

Repoman · 01-09-2014, 08:41 AM

Hahahaha.... the last one was classic. Thanks for the laugh.

You don't know Fairfax BMW. The worst experience I've had trying to buy my first BMW. Never did and wouldn't recommend anyone to go there.

AMG currently has cars that will obliterate this upcoming M.
