to be fair, I paid 66 for my A91 Mt to be able to walk into a dealer and buy it without a reservation after 2days of looking for one. Shame the tan interior isn’t a 23 exclusive
Good natured jokes aside, there are no true emission regulations except for absolutes and fleet avgs. BMW might be will to take the hit to their collective score for the 6 port which is still down compared to the global versions where Toyota wasn’t.
Since I installed the Dinan I have noticed temps climb quicker when stopped at a light than the the stock intake. It sucks engine compartment air unless at speed
You’re looking at smaller options /configuration scarcity. Typical market preferences typically see simpler emission/edition numbers more prevalently as most buyers aren’t specialists. historically special editions are valued over regular editions even if there is specific configuration rarity...
Yah but the 23 was made in smaller numbers 500 total split between 2 colors, wasn’t as ridiculous looking and had a few more unique touches. Being the smallest edition of the A91s will have appeal on paper
It looks like Doug demuro was right? So far the 23 A91 is the one to have esp in CU later if that was it for that color. The matte white still might come out on top as they most likely won’t make many of the due to the premium. But if a bunch of 2.0 autos start rolling around with the matte...
I used them for years and finally came to the conclusion that they cost me more tickets than prevented. While I got some heads up it dulled my alertness and 1/2 the time they went off it was merely a you’re about to get a ticket warning since i am a front of the pack type of driver anyway. Since...
I drove 700miles over The Weeknd doing skyline drive and blue ridge parkway. Really got to experience the Dinan box and turbo inlet tube. While not ridiculously loud, the amount on intake and turbo sounds adds a tremendous amount of character to an otherwise fairly quiet engine. Especially...
I put 70miles on it since that post and can hear it better now. More flutter and vacuum sounds especially with the windows open. I suspect Pedestrians around the city will be the main beneficiaries as they aren’t super loud in the cabin but turning off the fake noises with BimmerLink helps a lot...
Installed the Dinan airbox and turbo inlet. Everything fit great. Not a huge noise difference in the limited miles I have put on it but doing a proper drive this weekend and will report back. Looks great though
Why not just call around on the 30 or so on autotrader? They even have an A91 for 65k. Some are dealer spam sure but I bet there are cars to be had with just a few calls. That’s how I got my a91 in less than a week for just a few thousand over MSRP with never being on a waiting list or putting a...
Agree with this coupled to the gen 3 B58 would have to be certified with the stick or split the production line’s supply inputs and tooling with adds costs hard for us laymen to calculate. I suspect Gen2 B58 until the end
