There's no way in hell they're moving to the audi 5x112 bolt pattern. EDIT: Well, today I learned they are indeed moving to this bolt pattern.

Daigo has a drift lambo so I dont imagine he’s concerned much about cost...

Sure, I daily mine but switch from e85 to 93 occasionally -- mostly run e85. Plenty of people daily their 500+whp bmw's (n54, s55).

n54 owner here pushing over 600 to the tire. Seen plenty in the 700's. Looks like the b58 will be even stronger, high compression, and unbeatable thermal efficiency with that w2a manifold.

Found a thread documenting several people having an issue with the heat exchanger/w2a intercooler on their s55s. "So about two weeks later I start the car in the morning drive train malfunction running rough but this time I don't shut it off and get out of the car to check under the hood and...

ZFs are reliable well past their torque ratings. In the bmw n54/n55 communities, the standard 6hp26 is reliable past 650wtq with a simple flash tune on the TCU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZF_6HP_transmission https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1347613 https://www.xhpflashtool.com/en/

There's also bootmod3.

There's also the existing stuff for the B58 in the m240i: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/ordering-process-for-new-supra.582/page-10#post-26251

Now how many of us will be going to an aftermarket front bumper to make it look like the FT-1?

As a BMW owner who works on his car and has taken it to several independent euro (not even bmw-specialist) mechanics, I'm also confused. Yes, sometimes you need bmw-licensed software to reset things but it's generally available. Sometimes the manual says you need bmw tool # blah blah but you can...

Brake air ducts and oil cooler vents in wheel well are optional on 335i's as far back as 2007. #justbmwthings

Nissan still sells plenty of the q60s coupes but I think the upmarket margins are what is keeping those alive in America -- the demand is higher for sports-luxury than outright sports cars so that's the real competitor. q60's are around the same price point $50+ but took market signals and are...

My experience with dealers is that if you change the downpipe, you void the turbo warranty as they're literally connected and back pressure matters. If you tune/flash/chip the car, you void the warranty for fueling, engine, ecu/dme, perhaps even unrelated electronics modules. That being said...

Yeah, the seats in all modern bmw seats are heavy AF, try 80+lbs. Battery in trunk and spring/shock separation are standard configs for bimmers. Getting the battery out is a PITA tho. I was also excited to see both m5 driveshaft and axles -- axles were a notorious weak-link on the other high...

I'm moderately happy to see the cupholders. The slide-out tray style bmw has been using suck and break easily. The downside is the cupholder placement definitely does not suggest a manual with gear-rowing as elbow would hit drinks

I don't use JB4. Android phone + software + OBD2 cable direct write of maps to dme/ecu. http://mhdtuning.com/mhd-flasher-n54/ https://twistedtuning.com/ https://www.facebook.com/WedgePerformance-1253879854659791/ MHD now supports the F-chassis n55 motor as well. Here's some b58 flashing...
