How well do you know your car? (pop quiz for bored petrolheads)

in cars •  7 years ago 

Currently I drive an old 1996 BMW 316i (I should have bought a bigger engine, I know)

Here is what I got

Q#1
In which country was your car first released?
GERMANY

Q#2
How many units of your car have been sold globally?
My guess was 50K, turns out 1996 316 4-door only sold around 20K

Q#3
Who is the most famous person to own the same car as you?
I would guess such a small engine in a BMW would only be bought by a not-so-well-off-showoff with no understanding of driving - someone like James May :D

Specs
Q#4
What is the ground clearance of your car?
20 centimeters, but I actually dont know this

Q#5
How much peak torque does your engine develop?
Around 100Nm, I actually looked at this quite recently

Q#6
How much washer fluid can you put in the cars tank?
3,5L (almost half left over from a 5L bottle)

Daily "unnoticeables"
Q#7
How many pockets, cubbyholes, drink holders are there in the cars interior?
5 - the beauty of the simplistic e36 (no freaking cup holders though...)

Q#8
What color is the washer fluid tanks cap?
Blue - classic

Q#9
What is the upper limit of your speedometer?
220 - I think thats the standard, yet again it wont likely exceed 170 :D

Q#10
Which side of the car is the fuel cap on?
Right - just from muscle memory, having to walk around the damn thing

For the brave
Q#11
What do all the numbers on your instrument panel add up to? (excluding the odometer)
1348 - only the speedo and tachometer to consider

So I got at least 6 right, feeling pretty good, considering how out there the questions are :D
