Welcome and congrats. Curious to hear your thoughts on the new one vs your previous Mk4 experiences. I am kicking myself today for not owning a Mk4 prior to the current rocket ship that took the values to the moon of clean, lower mileage examples. Many like to say the Mk5 is too much of a...

Nice, I wasn’t aware we could do that with BimmerCode/OBDLink. I was thinking the dealer was the only option to register a battery with some proprietary tool. Good to know!

Keep us posted on how this turns out for you.

This is what I fear most now as I am about ready to take advantage of my first free oil change. Not sure it is worth the risk. Spend $75-100 on an oil kit and do it myself or risk needing another $5-700 bench unlock service from a tuner? I have a OBDII port cover with "consult owner/do not...

Like previously mentioned, it becomes tricky due to ethanol pumps not always having exactly 85% ethanol. I went with a flex fuel kit and tune to remove the necessity of being precise and to not worry about map switching (1 tune will auto adjust to ethanol content). But regardless, it can still...

I’ve got nothing but compliments and genuine interest/questions in person. Waves and thumbs up as I drive by others. Really kind of surprising based on the negativity online.

Update: Catless DP on with stock exhaust. Certainly added some good exhaust volume on throttle but nearly as quiet as stock when just cruising. Intake/turbo noise went from barely anything to very noticeable. I am running the stock airbox & paper filter with the resonator/silencer deleted. I...

No issues yet for me but I haven’t even hit 1k miles. Too much time in winter storage in my first 9 months of ownership. I’ll get some miles on it this summer. Curious to follow this thread with others. Just curious, as someone who almost bought a GT350 before my Supra... do you miss the...

Thanks. Great feedback and basically what I’m looking for. Leaning towards this option so far. Thanks for the feedback. Is the cold start noise just due to the higher idle or is there more to it? I too already had the fake engine noise turned off.

I decided to go with a catless DP to pick up as much power as possible on my '20. This will likely be paired with a flex fuel tune in hopes of that +/- 500whp/wtq sweet spot. I have yet to install it, but curious if anyone has went this route with factory exhaust, and later added aftermarket...

Can you get the filter in different colors by chance? I've got a blue theme going on under the hood currently...

That is good to hear. Thanks for the reply. Bummer.

In for updates on what you find out/decide to do. I’m stock now but very interested in running an e50 map or true flex fuel tune (93-e50) but if it can’t be done in a safe/conservative manner on the stock turbo I’m going to lose interest, at least until a turbo swap or whatever other supporting...

I just did my R7 with the smaller pink/red connector and I’m noticing the same...guess I may just need to pull everything back apart and use the bigger black connector...

Good to know for those wanting a fresh one and are wanting to tune right away. But I’m sure this will be unlocked in time. This practice isn’t unique to Toyota/BMW.

I’d go this route.

I was in a similar spot a few weeks back. Went with the '20 due to the savings. Tuning the '21 is fairly new to most it seems but it '20s are not going to be disadvantaged like some thought, at least on stock turbo/non-high HP builds. Some say is it may be easier to make more power with the...

Don’t hold me to this but I think my salesman said he was able to find 200-something 2020 & 2021 Phantoms, not sure nationwide or worldwide (produced so far?) If this is close to accurate I would venture to say this will be one of the rarer if not rarest color. It will be interesting to see if...

Looks good!

Anyone running these yet? Seems like a nice drop but nothing crazy to not compromise a wider tire/wheel setup. I am considering these or HKS Hipermax Touring Adjustable springs.
