The AWE is like an art pirce to me! Amazing system. And next time I'm near NH, happy to buy a round and go for a ride! :) But as far as loudness, I'll agree with you. The AWE uses pretty small mufflers, guessing it won't have any internal baffling, so it would essentially be a straight...

What a great neightbor you are! :D

Just watched it. Great video, helluva lot nicer install than mine! :) As far as noise, I agree, it didn't work as well for him. I'm ALL stock, but this guy is running no-cat/downpiped, single-titanium exhaust, short/small muffler with no internal baffling, etc. Also, the exhaust layout is...

Ha ha ha, agreed. The GTS roar - when you start the car and it well roars. It's fun right, but the neighbors have got to hate us! It's a leftover BMW thing - I heard a Z4 recently that does that too.

BEFORE YOU READ THIS This is for reducing exhaust noise (drone, growl, etc) for the interior cabin as you drive. This is NOT for the outside noise - you know, where people, neighbors, etc. all grimace when you drive by. This mod WILL reduce exhaust noise inside of your car, so if you dropped...

So I'm old school... I shift into neutral if I am coming to a light. I even have bimmercode/link set to remember my last Auto start/stop as OFF. As much as I think the engineers maybe added some level of durability to the modern starters these days, starting the car 10-20-50 times a day if in...

If you need a tip on one way to remove the badge... :) Grab about 2 feet of fishing line and gently slide it behind the badge. Move the line like you are flossing your teeth, keep pressure toward the badge as much as you can - or else you risk burning/scuffing the paint. Once the badge is off...

Ooof, sorry about that brother. Collabs are cool but since it's a BMW, a BMW tech is really your only avenue for an accurate diagnosis. If you want peace of mind, I'd pay for 1 hour of labor for a local BMW tech to have a look. With your bill, have them detail what they see. Then take that bill...

So, if I recall right... 2020 and some 2021 cars experience oil pump failures. The biggest sign is the car won't electronically measure oil levels. Given your oil usage and smoke, can't help but wonder if a ring has gone also. Highly suggest a visit to a local BMW tech ASAP because either case...

Find a local BMW shop and join the local BMW club. The Supra is pretty much a 2-3-4 series car so your support network for work, parts, and knowledge is going to be better. *Personally* I'd go with items like suspension which generally don't void warranties - as the engine, transmission and...

Yeah, anytime the car is NOT a Toyota, it seems like they have to summon a Subaru or BMW tech nearby to work on the car as a talent share or something or pull in that ONE guy on the team who had the cross-platform training done. FWIW - I take my car to my local BMW indy mechanic for stuff I...

WHOA! Nice price and condition! GLWS! FWIW - for anyone considering selling their stock wheels, consider the G-series BMW groups too. A forged 19" wheel for under $1000 is a stupidly amazing price for the BMW racing guys.

I can't agree more here. I shopped the 2.0 in the USA and looked at a differential/LSD swap-install-whatever is out there. ZERO options.

So, I came upon this thread while doing some research. Why not just *drill* a simple hole into each section? Save $200? Visually it'd look the same from 6-10 feet and it would actually be stronger.

What's the part number on your springs? Eibach makes different sets. :)

Whew! Yep, been there. For those who didn't know, the Supra is a BMW Z4 - which shares A TON of parts with the BMW 2-3-4 series cars. So you can get parts for your Supra same day if you have a BMW dealer in your area. And sometimes the parts counters are open on Saturday. BMW CCA member 20+ years.

Dude, try the bimmer/bmw forums/groups. A lot of track guys looking for wheels, especially forged ones!

Sometimes, but on most BMW suspensions the dust boot is a little shorter. So when the car is lifted up, the boot is pulled upward, as it is semi connected to the top spring and bearing. It's not connected at bottom.

If the Supra is like any other BMW, it's an AGM battery... Which are made by 2 or 3 suppliers worldwide. The F30 batteries in the BMWs sometimes had a "made for BMW by Exide" sticker. And the Exides from a local auto shop was something like $100 less. But given your car is a 2023, why do you...

That's not the shipping spacer. That stays. THIS is the shipping spacer... :)
