Always wanted to go ever since having my MK3, but can't do spring down there anymore. Everyone asks me why the hell did I move from NC to MI, I tell them I don't mind the winter, and when I lived there my black cavalier at the time was always pollen green in spring. I'll take fall any day over...

Following Occam's Razor of all things being equal the simplest explanation tends to be the right one , I might agree with you, we have not found the equal with this issue yet, one thing for needing to reach operating parameters that doesn't make sense to me. The guys in the video I posted...

I'm sure there are quite a few scratching their heads :D but it's probably because they've been jammed, ;)I hope it's possibly helped lighten in here least for a moment, think we all could use it this week. And I did pick up on your name, the Mrs. was just going through some of Mels favorite...

I've said it so much that the more tech we get in our cars the more issues arise. For the E85 z4 all the ecu learned adaptions turn off when sport button is pressed giving the user in an auto as much control as allowed without blowing anything up, crisping throttle response rather than the...

It's Frankenst(EE)n ;)

What's the lowest mileage we've seen on here now for it? The 2020 that I test drove had maybe 17 miles on it and an a91 I looked at had maybe 50 and the time I was in both of those there wasn't any issue off them. As it's looking from here it's happening in various assembly from beginning to...

I had to copy this video to put here, it was posted in another topic on the forum here. skip to roughly halfway in and it looks like he's having the rev issue from this lengthen thread. I'm not sure about "newer" bwms, but my 03 E85 Z4 has NEVER done this. In the 10 years 40k+ miles I've...

It's interesting for sure. It really didn't feel to me they honestly knew much about their cars besides basic knowledge, or what you could read in the manual if that. Just some classic blunders of not knowing the ins and outs, had a chuckle with them trying to figure out how to unlock the...

I started left foot braking in my MK3 Supra, and carried it right over to my E85 Z4. And as well with all AT car's I've driven after too. I know there are some tunes out there if I remember right with the bmw n52 engine using I think it was an ess tune or with the ess s/c kit that was having...

Out of curiosity is there anyone here left foot braking in their MKV? New to you, force of habit, something you've thought about? If you do how has it felt in the car, any variance you've had to adapt from what you've done it in before (without power difference coming into play). Any...

I know this is really for a topic in a different section but does go along with what you're talking about here. Have you left foot braked in your supra yet? It's something I started when I had my MK3 and continued through the years in my z4. There was an auto crosser article I read a long time...

Like many others already have said, why buy an expensive sports car just to cheap out on gas and affect performance, even if it's daily and not pushing it. I always would want my car to perform at it's best, else why buy it? One back and forth that is the debate is fuel economy/performance...

I certainly agree in not wanting all the road salt and slag on a very nice new or otherwise sports car. But as to rwd how did we ever survive as a species before fwd/awd came main stream? I'd take any rwd car I've ever owned with snow tires any day of the week in winter over 4wd with bald...

You never know in his area he might get enough rain that a Jeep with a snorkel is more beneficial for daily. There are certain areas around here that dip low enough that I avoid in rain due to flooding on the roads. Some of those areas I'm fine in the 128 but not in my z4. Also happens first...

Biggest thing to remember is the basic dynamics of the car. In slipper situations, rain, snow, ice, always remember you're pushing not pulling the car with the drive wheels to the ground. So pulling out of a snowy or icy subdivision where sub entry/exits aren't as clean as the main road you're...

It's funny, when I had my 1g dodge avenger no one said "nice mitsu", The haters will always hate, but you look at anything dsm did, and later Mitsubishi taking over when dsm perished did talon owners get "nice eclipse" or Stealth owners get "nice gt3000", seabring/stratus owners as well? It's...

This is a part that I've pondered as well. The logical part with that is, to take away something from a chevy ad with the ride handling on the suspension being monitored 1,000/sec, the ecu on getting feed back from sensors shouldn't take 500ft of drive time to kick in, a lot can happen in that...

I would agree with post 2009 when people, here especially say "BMW" I honestly had more issues with my MK3 in 6 years of having it than my z4 in the 10 years and counting with it. Most of the maintenance issues or sensors in my z4 are some of the same issues with our 2000 wrangler for example...

That's what kind of worries me on a new car. I had gone into limp mode once when my maf plug had a crap connection on my Z4. (That particular maf had been unplugged and plugged back in a lot before then with work being done and after that was replaced) The time it happened I was pulling out of...

To know how it was behaving for you were the 500ft it first drove felt like it was in limp mode during that time?
