Show Up Your Local BMW Club With This Ultra Obscure E30

VADIM DANIEL COURTESY OF RM AUCTIONS
Hartge is a small manufacturer in Germany that specializes in modifying BMWs. Back when the E30 3-Series was new, it offered a package with a bunch of cosmetic and mechanical upgrades for North America, but not many people opted in. Now, one of the few Hartge BMWs is for sale, and you should buy it.
Welcome to You Must Buy, our daily look at the cars you really should be buying instead of that boring commuter sedan.
This Hartge H26, a convertible model, was sold new in Canada, according to the listing on RM Sotheby's. The 215-horsepower Hartge package was installed at a BMW dealership, and consists of more aggressive cams, new headers, a custom exhaust, a Hartge-specific ECU, and of course, the bodykit. Furthermore, an Alpina steering wheel and Alpina wheels have been added.

The most noticeable thing about the H26 is its unique fascia, incorporating individual eyelid pieces for each headlight, and a completely white grille area. Plus, it has a couple of supremely cool '90s badges.

Transverse Vs Longitudinal Engines: The Pros And Cons

The way in which an engine is orientated can have a huge influence on the rest of a car’s design. Should the car be rear-wheel drive? What size of engine is expected? Are there space issues that could influence which way the engine lies? All these questions have to be answered by the engineers responsible for the car, as the powertrain setup can have a large impact on how the car goes, handles and stops. Looking at front-engined cars, the two possible orientations are longitudinal and transverse, with each having its own benefits and drawbacks that can govern which is chosen for the car at hand. In-light of this engineering decision, here’s a basic guide to the features of each engine layout and which is best for different applications. Transverse engines Transverse engines are mounted perpendicularly to the direction of travel, lying horizontally within the engine bay. This is predominantly used in front-engined, front-wheel drive setups but has also been implemented i...

Top 7 Cars with 200 Stock Horsepower

A decade or two ago you would have had to buy a sports car (and opt for the most powerful engine) if you wanted a vehicle with more than 200 horsepower, but today, that amount of power comes standard in a wide range of cars, from compact luxury cars to open-top sports cars. I have narrowed the list down to the top 7 of my favorites, and all have more than 200 horsepower (and less than 250) from the standard engine that comes in the base trim level. Read on to see our list of top 7 cars with 200 horsepower stock, sorted by power. Audi TT The Audi TT is a 2-door sports car powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine that makes 220 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. All models use a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to all four wheels using the quattro all-wheel drive system, making the TT a surprisingly good (and fun) all-weather car. Fuel economy is rated at 26 miles per gallon combined (using premium fuel) and the run to 60 miles per hour takes 5.3...

What is "anti lag" and how does it work

HOW THE TURBO ANTI-LAG SYSTEM WORKS Bang-bang (also known as ALS which stands for Anti-Lag System) is an engine management technique that allows to minimize the turbo lag time. As you may be aware of, turbochargers display what is known as lag time, which is the time needed for the turbine to reach its full throttle from the intermediate rotational speed state. The duration of a turbocharger's lag depends on many factors, including its inertia, airflow efficiency, back pressure, etc. The issue is partly dealt with by fitting a turbo dump valve, which acts every time the driver lifts his foot from the throttle. The dump valve will evacuate the pressure air coming from the turbocharger while the inlet manifold is closed so that the turbine does not stall and avoid possible damage to its bearings. In racing cars it is very common to fit the oversized turbochargers in order to be able to produce enough boost pressure and ensure sufficient engine output. Big turbochargers exhibit sig...
