I passed up 3 or 4 Supras because of the whale tail and Street Hunter wings. When you buy stock, it's generally accepted that the car is well... stock. But at the same time it's difficult to own a car for resale or investment value. It takes about a 30 year wait before a car that will be a...

Antenna or its connection failing. My 435i did the same. You can test by grabbing a spare GPS antenna off ebay. Plug it directly into the head unit. If same result, its the head unit. If not, the antenna.

Ah shoot. Sorry about that. But yes, the tow hooks and strap for the F-Series BMWs from 2013-2019 will fit. The BMW Motorsport ones pop up quite often on ebay too! Best wishes on the search!

Try "raceseng tow strap bmw" :) Looks like he's down to 2. The red one I dont know if it fits, but the black one will. The black says for F series BMWs 2013 to 2019. My 2015 tow hook from my 435i fits the Supra. https://ebay.us/m/kXVQSM

Dude check ebay. There's a guy clearing inventory for $60. The BMW F-series hooks also fit. FYI! :)

If you care about your warranty or if there's any left, maybe flash back to stock. The dealer will run a standard car check and it will flag that the ecu was tampered with. It will be logged into the car history. So any future warranty work can be at risk. I had this happen with my 435i at BMW...

Yep, you know its a decent alignment shop when they have this!

So, if you want to save some sanity. Grab painters tape. Turn wheel to how/where YOU THINK it is centered. Put a strip at the 12 o'clock position on the steering wheel. Put another strip on top of the gauge cluster so it lines up with the strip on your steering wheel. This rules out the tech...

Coming from the BMW side, I've been on the forums for near 25 years, broken axles aren't a common thread. I'd even say rare because at best I remember maybe seeing something once tops. So personally, I'd chalk this up to defect from manufacturing and nothing you or a tech did.

So a few questions... !. How many miles on your car? 2. Are you still on stock tires? 3. When was the last time you had sn alignment? I'm personally leaning toward tires. Performance tires get REALLY noisy, think whomp-whomp-whomp, when they are worn out. How close are you to the wear...

Yeah so the mirror power source... I got the adapter harness from Amazon last year for my dashcam. No splicing, no dicing just plug and play. From what I gather, THAT source is constant power, whether the car is on or off. I *think* it's essentially the same power source as the alarm, so it's...

What state and city are you in brother? :)

I was thinking the same, flip the controls left to right...

Any tennis balls nearby? Its a stretch yes.

Was in a somewhat similar thought process... Supra, Jaguar, Lotus Evora. We all want something special. But what can kill the ownership experience is service, parts, and maintenance. For me, Jaguar was stupidly beautiful. But service and parts stupidly expensive. The Lotus, even more so. Yeah...

Find a BMW independent shop to do your alignment. Most alignment shops and definitely "motorsport" garages just do installs but hardly actual service or tuning. If the shop says there's no adjustability, that's only partially true. Camber, or the tilt of the wheel, might be maxed out. And a...

OFFSET! This is literally where the wheel is positioned on the hub. Too much/inward and the wheel might rub the suspension (can fix with spacers) and too little/outward, the wheel pokes out of the well and rubs the body (and you can't fix short of shaving the hub of the rim). I *think* the...

Alignment. When people don't like how a sports car handles, alignment. Compared to buying another car, a good alignment shop will listen to how you want your car to drive. It's a cheap effort to get the handling you want. For me, the stock Supra is WAY too tail happy. So I had a chat with my...

Agreed, a good/great alignment shop will set a factory steering wheel so it visually is centered. Caveat... for me, once I started using those fancy wheels with a stripe, even with the steering wheel lock, that stupid stripe is always a little too left or right by 2 or 3 mm. So it's just...

Or just sit in the car, hold the wheel as they tune the final alignment. Voila, steering wheel centered to your taste.
