With all due respect , it’s not normal. I’ve owned 4 BMWs, driven several MINIs and this supra is my 2nd car with a bmw turbo engine. What I am experiencing, is not normal. It isn’t normal to see the revs bounce between idle and 1500 with no movement while trying the throttle. Neither is it...

Yes, I sent it in for the recall. I have a 2020 unit. Also have videos from the dash cam showing how the car wouldn’t move off a slope (interestingly enough, the car never slipped back. Just wouldn’t move). That clip is the only reason I could push back on them trying to return me the car saying...

Pardon if I missed updates, there are a lot of name calling posts clogging up this thread. I think OP has a genuine issue and the rest of us could too. @pr0jekt_cha0s @bonomo53 Did either of you get any information from Toyota? I’ve been having intermittent long crank start ups since day 1...

When TC cuts my power on the street, it’s usually wet roads or a manhole cover, and I’m accelerating a little harder than normal. And there’s a loud thunk in the rear and the power is reduced. Not quite the same as the throttle hesitation instances I’ve encountered. And cos it eventually...

When it happened for me on a slope, the needle jumped like crazy but wouldn’t rev beyond 1000rpm. Car did not slip back, going back to idle seemed smooth. I don’t think my dealer has even escalated it to Toyota yet. I’ve asked them to, but I dont know if they’ve done anything.

Did you try scanning for error and information codes with BimmerLink? I am having increasingly worse instances of this, the roads are dry so I’m very sure it’s not TC related. I’ve had the power cut due to slip and it’s not the same feeling. I sent the car to the dealer and they came up with...

@rotary heart If you ever get round to doing up a guide, deserves it’s own thread for sure! so to clarify, the eco mode you enabled could specify the various eco and comfort settings, similar to what we see in Sport Individual? I have to say, I like having the option for more relaxed driving...

My guess is that Sport+ we unlock in the Supra is essentially the BMW tuned profile meant for the Z4. In that sense, it is going to be different from the Toyota tuned Sport settings. So if you were to configure Sport Individual with 1) engine and 2) transmission to Sport+, 3) suspension and...

I know that’s your view, but I have driven in comfort plus mode and based on my experience the suspension settings are different compared to comfort. It’s very obvious over certain speed bumps, if you take the time to test it. Comfort plus that we activate via BimmerCode is a profile originally...

that’s really interesting you could configure the eco pro settings. I have been wishing for comfort individual cos I like the transmission setting in comfort plus, but the suspension Is much better in comfort. Just too “floaty” in comfort plus, esp over bumpy highway sections.

Here you go Z4 horn i think you still have to tap the existing wires and run it towardw the secondary mount point at the opposite headlight. It may be easier to just get a pair of twin tone horns which both fit at the existing Supra horn mount, and wire it up there.

We already have one of the Z4 horns, just missing the Z4 low tone horn. Other forum members reported adding that to solve our “clown horn” problem.

Yeah, well that’s kinda my point around time based interval advice. Cos bmw calls it “lifetime fill”, but 100k miles or 10 years later, it’s not their problem anymore. I find it interesting that Toyota has a different approach to BMW on scheduled service - the 2000km oil change, now...

i just can’t totally believe that oil left in use for ten years would still be in prime condition, despite low mileage use. In the sense that it should likely deteriorate with time, as most oils would. The climate where I am is also hot and humid. That said, the BMW dealer has never mandated...

@RenRed2, most advice for transmission service goes by mileage, but what is your take on a time based interval? I typically go with 4 years for transmission oil change, cos my cars tend to be low mileage. But I don’t think it was based on official ZF advice…

same for me. About 2 weeks after the recall was done on my 2020. Weird cos I never experienced it for the first year of ownership. Definitely does not feel right. Best case scenario, it’s the transmission readaptation post ECU flash, but sure scared the crap out of me when I was filtering into...

I think the dealer should be using a PSU for this coding, not a trickle charger.

I bet if you had gone with the valet, you would have spent the entire night worrying about your car. So you made the right call for yourself. i personally don’t like using valets. Nothing to do with how expensive the car is. its a personal preference. I usually tip extra to have them point out...

I’m wondering the same. I have had an occasional long crank start up, and thinking it could be related to the LPFP. Maybe the pump is starting to deteriorate.

So I just noticed a weird noise from inside the cabin. Sounds like a helicopter, and oddly it seemed to come from the back of the cabin . It’s happened twice now, noticed it while the car was stopped and idling, no radio on. I googled and found this thread and video : X3 forum- Helicopter...
