I was inclined to agree that this is what it stood for originally for the 1975 car, but was unsure about the concept. Subsequently, I did pose the same question on twitter and @BMWgroup responded with: Since they didn't specify, I think I'll accept it as an answer for both models.

Hi guys, first time posting (indeed visiting) in a while, but doing so for the delicious purpose of discussing badge nomenclature. Does the "tii" in BMW's 1 series tii concept (branded in tribute to the 2002 tii) stand for "twin inducted (fuel) injected"? or "Tourismo Internationale, injected"...

Great ep, fun challenge, awesome supercar pr0n, very distracting audience member behind Hammond. I didn't get the whole running joke about May almost losing his man bits tho. Not sure if this was mentioned in the thread ......and I'm loathe to type "James May Penis" in the search bar. :blush:

Ok, here are a handful of pics. Just a couple as to not bludgeon the 56K'ers.

Hey Everyone, I've just put some highlights up from the NY auto show on my blog. I'd post them here but to be frank, my computer has been a huge pain in the ass and it was a hassle getting them up on my site and I don't really want to go through it all again. Maybe I'll change my mind later...

Here you go, internets...

Not that I have the scratch to do so, but I've recently come across two replicas of classic cars that are supposedly faster and more dependable than their originals. I asked myself this very same question and I always came back to "No." Yeah, the replica may perform better than the original and...

hehe, agreed. They've done themselves no favors here.

seriously? what part? I want to go back and hear this for myself.

agreed in that you defend to the best of your abilities. sometimes it works, sometimes you lose more than you went in for. In this case, the way I see it, Vettel didn't have a whole lot of choice in the matter. If we're discussing who's fault it is, my opinion is that it was Kubicas (and...

I looks to me that Kubica, who I believe to be a good driver, simply made a bad call. Indeed, he had a right to make a go for 2nd, but I think he just misjudged the situation. par for the course. Also, not that he was given a whole lot of choice, but Vettel was very much in the right to defend...

Indeed. The filmmakers did a good job with the narrative and made a documentary that would satisfy the enthusiasts and still be accessible to those who probably don't follow motorsport. They put a real face on the team and did well to not make the Peugeot as anonymous as the other competitors...

I don't have anything substantial to add here, but I keep seeing the headline for this thread when I sign on, and considering how well it went over with everyone I keep thinking that the thread should be re-titled serious case of *WANK* I'm 11 years old.

Put two variables of stupid behind the wheel and the math changes dramatically, I reckon.

It occurs to me, We never really hear of Lambos or other supercars hitting each other that much, do we? its always a tree or a pole, etc.
