The Smoking Tire

This week Steve Dinan purveyor of all things BMW joins us to talk about how he got into the business and the current state of BMW tech.  Of course we touch upon the history of BMW but we spend a long time discussing how factory turbocharging has unleashed new potential and where things may be going in the future.  We discuss the realities of research and development, Steve defines "Turbo Lag" for us and using vacuum in the crankcase for power increases.
