I guess I meant the IAT sensor. I didnt know it wasnt an MAF sensor thats in the intake housing. I've read in bmw forums that the sensor can get fouled from oil or oil vapors and cause issues with fuel/air ratio. I checked inside the intake housing and didnt see any signs of excess oil. Also...

Are you using an oiled engine intake filter? I installed a K&N oiled filter last december on my otherwise stock supra. Ive had the drivetrain warnings followed by limp mode twice since then, both on very cold days when I press the throttle during high way driving on sport mode. Never redlining...

Did you ever figure out what happened? My stock 2025 has the same issues I think.

Noticed gunk on the water pump weep hole when I was under the car looking up into the engine bay. Pic is from under the engine bay. Its got 31k miles and I've never touched or topped off any coolant since I got it from the dealership. Model year 2025. No low coolant warning. Not sure if its...

what oil are you using?

The first time this happened to me none of the easy tricks people mention worked for me either. I had to use a metal wire to thread it in between the rotor and the shield, then pulled it in the direction the rock. Took some time to figure out where the rock was using my phone camera, but now I...

Thanks for the recc. So far a supra shop called books performance in Fairfax quoted 380 for the full set and this mobile tire install company said they can install and balance for 250. They seem pretty alright and theyve got alot of performance cars on their google reviews/pics. Ill keep calling...

I decided to just go with the Costco tire install and a hoped a 20$ tip for the tire tech picking up my car would set me straight. But apparently theyre not allowed to accept tips anymore. They did write a note in the paperwork to take care though and I did see another BMW and a GT3 in the...

Every Costco tire center in my area (Northen Virginia) has really poor google reviews. I guess that's not the case for some other places in the US.

I've purchased a set of Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 from Costco which includes insallation in the price but Im paranoid about wheels getting scratched from careless/rushing techs or something. Im considering taking them to an independent BMW/Supra auto shop nearby to have them mounted and balanced...

Did not think of that. I think I can jerry rig something together, thanks for the idea. And I did order a socket on Amazon but ETA is next Monday. I'd like to change the oil tomorrow as I wont have free time again until next week due to busy work schedule. My supra is my daily driver and it...

Im 6000 miles into my new engine and would like to change the oil before the free 10k oil change at the dealership. I realize this is not ideal and I'd like to inspect the filter for any break in particles, but the hardware stores nearby do not have the 3/8in drive 32mm socket (to torque the oil...

?, thanks for the great idea, might try that for a laugh.

The tint shop I took my Supra to included an eyebrow tint free of charge. I've gotten used to it from the inside and it comes in pretty handy, but given the front windshield on this car is already small, it always looked weird to me from the outside. Not a huge deal but I may take it off and get...
