Apparently there is a Stratosphere 3.0 Premium MT at MSRP in Idaho if anyone is interested:

Well that's unfortunate. I was hoping for a new color at least.

Recorded a new video since my helper recorded the last one in vertical and youtube automatically turns those into shorts. This is AWE Touring Resonated with a stock downpipe. And I've posted this before but here are some revs:

This is the AWE Touring Resonated with a stock downpipe. Just recorded this last night.

The Z hasn't had the smoothest of launches. I just saw my first one on the road about a month ago.

That concept has been out for years. They just finally put it into production. https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a38768206/nissan-fairlady-z-customized-proto/

The lighting was perfect yesterday morning.

Having said that, I might have finally figured out how to get the color to show up right with my actual camera at least. The lighting was also perfect this morning.

It's not exactly what he's asking for but it accomplishes the same thing since it allows you to operate the exhaust valve independently of sport engine mode. Homelink can copy the radio signal emitted from that key fob. It's essentially the same thing you're doing when you have it learn a...

There are aftermarket solutions for that. You can install this and then program one of your mirror buttons to open/close the exhaust valve. https://speedindustry.com/always-open-valve-cg-p

Stratosphere/portimao is definitely my favorite BMW blue now. It changes color depending on light more than any other car I've had. It's also next to impossible to get the color to look right in photos.

No need to put it back in. Just save it with the restrictor in case you ever want to put them back in for some reason.

It's wild how incompetent Toyota dealers are. They're afraid to touch anything on this car. All they needed to do was grease the return spring. When I was having problems with my subwoofer distorting the local tech admitted that even the corporate supra techs really don't know what they're...

Fresh ceramic coat this morning really brings out the color depth on stratosphere

I'm not sure on exact weight, but based on the fact that it's a single mid pipe and has relatively small mufflers, I'd guess the Injen exhaust might be worth looking at. I've heard it in person and it's not very loud. Definitely quieter than my AWE resonated touring.

As disappointing as it is, I've accepted BMW just can't make good looking cars anymore. It's a shame since most of the F generation was really good looking. At least there's still a BMW that wasn't styled by them.

Hmm mine was updated last month and had no change in sound quality. They actually specifically updated it because I was having issues with a subwoofer distorting on one side so I was paying attention to that.

It being more direct and more consistent is the entire point of removing it. It's not going to make a huge difference in clutch longevity or anything but it will absolutely improve the clutch feel. I agree that CDVs in some other manufacturers aren't necessarily bad but they are obnoxious in BMWs.

Your opinion on the subject is irrelevant until you've experienced both setups side by side. It is hands down far better after the removal of the CDV. Notice how you won't find anyone saying the opposite that has actual experience with both. There is nothing to "figure out", it just takes...
