  1. Need Advice!

    Agreed. Dealers in my area were asking 10% - 15% OVER sticker price for Supras on their lot for almost a year. We negotiated 9% off the MSRP at a local dealer who had one on the lot but would have gone out of state if we got a better deal. Research percentage discount rather than dollars -...
  2. What Shade of Red Wrap to Match Calipers?

    Looking to wrap the OEM braces in a red that matches the calipers. I had good luck with Vivid from Amazon and wondering if anyone has an idea which shade of red will match? I was thinking maybe Gloss Rosso Corsa (Ferrari) Red?
  3. ZL1 Rock Guards - Buy the correct hardware before installing

    Patience always wins :) For the gap, I don't think a head gun will resolve it. It's not that it cannot bend, but it appears to be the screw sleeve is pushing it out. I'm thinking filing down the sleeve will do it but please post back what you end up doing and how it works out.
  4. Replace Battery notification?!?

    My 2020 X3MC, and now the A90 Supra (g/f's car) are my first "BMWs" with this feature. My previous E46 M3 did not have this requirement. I read that you can use BimmerLink and it's pretty easy. Would you agree?
  5. ZL1 Rock Guards - Buy the correct hardware before installing

    Great idea! I guess I could have also used the punch I used to push them out. Duh.
  6. ZL1 Rock Guards - Buy the correct hardware before installing

    Thanks for posting the screw size. Do you think the powder coat will hold up? Is there such a think as a stainless steel screw bolt that is black? on my bmw I have black screws on my mud flaps and they get pretty beat up.
  7. Replace Battery notification?!?

    Congrats on the A91! The BMW design is just stupid. It should recognize when the battery gets to fully charged and turn the message off. It also forces you to program the car for a simple battery change. Though if they are willing to replace the batter rather than just charging it that's a...
  8. ZL1 Rock Guards - Buy the correct hardware before installing

    I installed these over the weekend on my g/f's Supra. I agree - they provide good protection but are overpriced for what they are. They should be $30. Screws in the back are more narrow than the OEMs but didn't pose an issue. May upgrade to SS bolts down the line. For the install: - Front's...
  9. Another Subwoofer/Audio upgrade question

    Ha ha! Love it! Nothing says bass like taking up 90% of your trunk :thumbsup:. On my X3MC I have a 10" W7 in a ported box which takes up 80% of the SUV trunk. No matter...it sounds fantastic!
  10. Replace Battery notification?!?

    I’m in the camp that it is. ;)
  11. Replace Battery notification?!?

    Wow really? I guess I was thinking of ///M cars but I thought people here were bringing it in for an oil change at that mileage. That said, should I just charge and get bimmerlink to register?
  12. Replace Battery notification?!?

    Just tested the battery and got 12.35v off / 14.71v on. Looking online that seems to be about a 50% charge for an AGM battery. I'm thinking to just let it charge up as we drive and measure again with some more miles on it. Assuming it gets closer to full, just wait until the 1200 mile service...
  13. Replace Battery notification?!?

    Hey guys, hoping you can help with a few questions: 1) I have an old charger which can has a mode for AGM batteries. Can this be used to bring it to full charge? 2) If we decide to take it to the dealer at some point and let the alternator charge, what is the danger of actually having a dead...
  14. Bought my Supra today! Yay! Wait! What?

    Did they program the new battery in the ECU? if they did replace it, and they don’t program it, I read it can damage the battery. I’m on the hunt for a good service department that also knows how to support the Supra. OP - I hope this is as simple as a battery. You would be surprised at all...
  15. Dumb Question on plates :-(

    I just the silicone plate frame.installed. It’s a nice understated look. It came in a two pack so the other protects the trunk from the pesky front plate incase we get pulled over and I have to explain how the front plate mount is on back order :)
  16. Dumb Question on plates :-(

    looks like you had a dealer who cared. Thanks for the instructions!
  17. Dumb Question on plates :-(

    This one was plastic (same as my 2020 BMW)- I'm surprised yours is metal. Wonder if they changed that for 2021? Can you confirm which way is right side up? The plate was resting on the diffuser (luckily it wasn't scratched) so I wonder if it was upside-down? I took out the 3/4" screws out of...
  18. Dumb Question on plates :-(

    What really bothers me is this was a result of the dealer not using the included screws. Also, they will rust as I noticed them on other vehicles in the show room. Common dealer practice to use cheap rusting screws that are too big. The design change to self tapping screws by BMW is the...
  19. Dumb Question on plates :-(

    Jesus - I just looked at it and the large wood screws used to hold the plate are in the plate bracket and touching the paint!!! ? She is not going to be happy about this...
