Why does everyone call gas engines "motors"?

[Nic01101011]

An engine is a type of motor, but not vice versa.

[dsobering47]

A better question, why are people trying to argue the point that an X5/X6 is a truck? Not to mention the fact that their motors were based on the E60/E65 V8's...

[mkcman17]

the X5M is hardly a truck...i hate when people call SUVs 'trucks.' this whole cummins diesel argument is like saying 'school buses are yellow, so all yellow cars must be school buses.' yes, it's a heavier, larger vehicle. but if i was a contractor or a guy with a toyhauler, i'd rather buy a 2500HD optioned out for $80k than an X5 for whatever similar price. X5M was meant to GO not to haul...hence the M..

All of you. get over yourselves. truck engine can be used in car with certain changes, or vice versa as with ls trucks, blah blah blah

I thought the 6 series was being canceled, or does that start in 2012?

Really?

[dkbmxer002]

Really?

he is correct, i have a bad habit of always saying motor, but the proper term would technically be engine.

[fryerfighter94]

motor is technically electric

[mkcman17]

my shop teacher always said 'a car has many motors but only one engine'

Wtf does that mean? I dont hate mazda's..
Oh, and the GTI is a hot hatch not a sports car. IMO The 911 has always been the sports car to beat

Guess what the M between the B and the W stands for. And who gives a shit about the 6 series. Its just another fat barge for old people. There is nothing sporty about 2+ tons.
