My wife and I finally made it out to autocross with the Supra (in Ft. Myers, FL http://www.gulfcoastautocrossers.com/). My video ended up washed out, but I set out to make the best sound clip of the MST V2 Intake (with the microphone in the engine bay). Turn up your volume and enjoy!

That is OEM Renaissance Red 2.0 (BMW crimson red, I believe).

Some people would want back seats, x drive, idrive 8, a hud with a tach, BMW techs, bmw lease rates, etc. I would love to see the s58 in the Supra, FWIW.

I think this is part of it. This is the first time I’ve seen my headlights from this angle. I was looking from the cab of my truck, which is higher than the typical angle from which you’d look at the lights. As you increase your viewing angle, the inner part of the DRLs are impacted.

Someone mentioned that this may be expected (post was deleted?). This pic was from feb 2022, and I can see some dimness on the passenger side here. Maybe the outside conditions today (mid day storms) were ‘perfect’ to highlight the nature of the DRLs ?‍♂️ I will have to check tonight when...

I just noticed the inner portions of both of my DRLs appear to be dimming. Quick googling shows that BMWs have experienced this prior to the LED failing. Thoughts? And if they are failing, does anyone know the part number(s)? I’m two months out of warranty… The “headlight module” I found was...

I did the M Tour at the beginning of may. I4 M50, XM, and M3 Comp. The i4 M50 is faster than the M3 Comp (0-60), and it certainly feels like it. Not slow (0-60) at all. Otherwise, I agree that it feels like a base 4 with an EV powertrain, and yes, I think that’s the point. I prefer it over the...

@A90_Bill Any updates?

Basically e50 on oem turbo numbers 60-130!

Lifted all the way in case you go off track, obviously, Sterrato or Dakar style. Seriously, though, your wheel specs and tire size are probably needed to answer this question.

Same, but that makes sense since last time I checked, there are at least 6 C8s sold for every Supra. One of the things I love about the Supra is the general exclusivity compared to the mentioned high end cars. Outside of car meets, they are rare enough around me for me to recognize the same...

The truck scene is like the Nissan scene. Some are cool like the rest of us enthusiasts, but most are terrible. I say this as someone who’s owned a 350z and now have a truck. I don’t like generalizations, but I get it.

@Supermonkey74 If you’re worried about oil consumption, stick with 2020 or 2022+, it seems. You can look for common BimmerCode features (auto start/stop off, fake engine noise disabled, etc.). Those by themselves are not a red flag, but it will tell you that there may have been more extensive...

What are the chances of enabling moisture to get into the headlight during installation? I’m in humid FL.

ADV.1 has some that are close to the 2023 stock look:https://www.adv1wheels.com/portfolio-category/toyota-supra/ I’m partial to the track-y 5 spoke look on the Supra, but it does not look OEM+.

Looks are subjective. Do you only care about looks? Do you want to look track-y or OEM+? Do you have a preference on wheel size? Do you care about the wheel being forged or not? What is your budget?

@MKVSAL This is kind of long, but I was/am in a similar spot with a young family and a need for speed. I bought a 2020 Supra in Nov 2021 and we had our baby in Aug 2022. Fleet at that time was: 2017 GTI (DSG) 2020 Supra (8AT) and a 2006 Pontiac G6 The GTI is a fine family hauler, but I was...

Are you getting a pump-gas only map, as well?

There’s a good argument that the Aztec was simply ahead of its time:https://www.drivingline.com/articles/driving-the-pontiac-aztek-20-years-on-automotive-embarassment-or-way-ahead-of-its-time/ The designer of the Aztec also designed the C7 FWIW...

Put some electrical tape on the auto headlamp LED? Could probably cut out a tiny piece if you want it to be clean.
