life is suck

So this is how you see us, amerimutt? Sad.

I must add a fucking golf gti costs more than an audi TT of the same year, the fucking ricers
and half of the bmws on the road are diesels with mufflers delete that sound like someone with IBS

I am european you dumb fuck
post car (here are mine)

It varies
In my part of Euroland high displacement engines have INSANE fees. So much that you would end up paying double the fees and insurance on a 2L compared to a sub 1.8L
And this is reflected on used car prices too
The lowest trim E90(1.6L engine) goes for about the same as a low trim E60
The E65 is sold even cheaper(due to it being an even bigger money pit also)
Recently a diesel E65 near me was sold for 3.9K euros

Only real problem about Europe is that the year of registry is too important.
Means normies won't happen upon classics, but they don't know shit about other cars

>>28508295
No. Your image reeks of eastern bloc, commie.

>>28508314
e60 are same price as e90 cus they suck balls lole

What shithole are you from? I've been to a number of Euro countries within and outside the EU, you can find normal cars (or even trucks) and enthusiasts pretty much everywhere.

Why are we pregnant

Can you even go 5 """"""kilometers"""""" above the speedlimit without getting a hate crime in yurop? what's the point of having more than a diesel 1 liter

>>28509079
It's always eastern europeans or ukrainians claiming to be europeans and white.
>>28509093
You can.

>>28509093
OP is from Eastern Europe so speed limits are a suggestion. I did a roadtrip to Croatia once and eastern euro drivers are legitimately insane. Niggas in clapped out vans and economy cars going 200km/h on the highway that is limited to 100-140km/h, niggas going 150 in 50-80 backwater roads with potholes. And if you get held up by cops you can just pay em off with 50 euros because the cops earn like fucking 700 euros a month at best.

>>28509079
If I was from some tiny Euro country where everyone knows everyone, I wouldn't advertise that on fourchins, especially if I'm a regular here.

>I did a roadtrip to Croatia once and eastern euro drivers are legitimately insane.
The least sane drivers I encountered to the East of Germany (Croatia included) were with German plates. I suspect they compensate for their own strict enforcement of traffic rules while being abroad.

>Western European license plate

those are just people from that country that work in the west returning home for the holidays

even my NA inline-6 is a europoor model with only 2 liters of displacement, so it's slow as shit. I wanted the 3 liter model but that was sold mostly in murrica and only few exist in yurop.

>the netherlands
we are truly the biggest fucking cucks on earth, just wow

>>28508283 (OP)
you're definitely not paying a bit more on fuel on a 328i or whatever the fuck you're talking about. even while granny driving a 30d is going to be superior in fuel consumption. if you drive the 328i to redline like you're supposed to then it consumes more than a modern m3. rofl. it's just cope that you can't afford the maintenace on a n54 35i or simply can't afford a 40i while wasting half your wage on the 28i fuel, because if it wasn't half your wage then you'd just go straight to a turbo inline six.

Firstly, /o/ is not a single person you're talking to.
>abstract myself from loud vibrating underpowered engines
The "european" OP who wrote that obviously learned English as a second language or used a something to translate. Idk, I'm an ESL too, but even I know that abstracting oneself from something means distancing or separating or withdrawing from it, so I was able to get what he meant. You for some reason weren't.

What's the qrd on running LPG? It seems novel but I'm guessing it's more complication and not as much power.

Honestly I'm curious if you cou run a giant american V8 with it, that seems neat

>>28509151
Americans do too, but you never miss an opportunity to sneer at the US

>>28509854
it makes ur car half as expensive to run
cant park underground
gotta change filters on the lpg system
engine has to be non direct injection
you cant really tell how much u got in the tank

double the range, with a full fuel tank and lpg you could do 1000 miles easily without stopping
can be near as powerful as petrol if done correctly

>>28509516
Yes, Europe is east of America what about it?

>>28509854
Propane vehicles have been a thing for decades in North America. They were super common in the 80's and 90's but the fad died off. You can run any (maybe not super modern??) gasoline engine off it with a conversion kit. Most of the UPS delivery trucks here are propane powered. Probably 95% of school buses are running Ford V10's on propane. It makes sense for them because they have a tanker truck come and refuel their trucks at night in the yard. Finding auto propane at a regular gas station would seems like a massive pain in the dick.

>>28509854
Factory systems are okay I guess (but I always thought that most of them use methane), but aftermarket conversions are expensive and more complicated if done properly. Improper ones will damage the engine, because LPG burns differently from the gasoline, so you have to alter the tables or at least vary the ignition timing to take that into account which is not easy because the supply switches between both fuels. Since the reason for such conversion is saving a bit of money on fuel at the expense of having all the disadvantages of a conversion, you don't expect to find a decent properly converted car/truck on the used market. I'm interested mostly in later Chevrolet small block/earlier LS series, and in Eastern Europe they are known to suffer from LPG conversions (burnt valves iirc), so the advice is to avoid the listing/seller completely if you spot the LPG filling connector.

The cons (apart from the engine not working correctly and not being able to use underground/indoor parking as another anon have said) are not having full power from the engine, alterations to a number of factory systems (like nigger rigging the intake to accommodate gas injectors), having to install the tank(s) somewhere, having to service the system (most owners are niggards and don't do that), having to find the specific filling stations (not so common as gas) and the smell. Being okay with all that just to save a bit (not even a half) on fuel (which isn't the only expense item with an old and possibly imported vehicle) requires a certain character type for the owner and certain approach to ownership lots of car enthusiasts tend to avoid.
