Title: Completely automated touch less car wash...?
Post by: GlennD on January 22, 2011, 03:57:34 am

Don't know if this has been posted, just got sent it by a mate.

I think all it needs is a huge hair dryer type device or something.  :signLOL:

Thoughts?   :indifferent:  :happy2:

Yea i noticed that  :signLOL:

However, my dad has the model before that, smoke comes out of all 4 exhausts.... strange?  Cost saving on the new XKR ?

Might be as it was cold - the engine I mean.

E46 BMW's used to do that, the valve on the exhaust opens when the revs go up or when warm
