Hahaha, exact same thing I was picturing. ?

You're really just talking about the experience of buying ANY used car, from literally any dealer. Not sure what makes you think Carmax is worse than any of the rest. And, for the Z, I'm pretty sure 2006 had the rev-up engine, which was widely known for oil consumption issues, even when I was...

JBL is actually a good company, and is part of the Harman Audio group. Since BMW uses Harman Kardon for their hifi systems, it would make sense to label the system in the Supra as their lower-tier equivalent, which is JBL… even though they’re the same speakers as the BMW HK setup. They’re very...

Over 500wtq at ~2700 RPM, and stays over 500 for almost 3000 RPM - that's a serious powerband.

Next time read what I wrote, instead of just the first line and acting like I’m being an idiot. Physical products? No, you aren’t getting much more than a single sub solution. You’re getting the tuning, which is more important than the components, and I get that. You get the exact same thing...

I do. You are not getting work done on a part commonly destroyed by power (I.e., especially engine and trans) without scrutiny from corporate. Period. If you have documentation from the dealership stating that, then that’s fine, but it’s going to be the dealership footing the bill, not Toyota...

This is also, by far, the most expensive single-subwoofer solution they offer. It's new territory for them, and people screw that up all the time. The systems for the BRZ/WRX/etc. are nearly cheap enough to be an impulse purchase for me, especially compared to this. This system may or may not...

FYI, the dealer isn't generally the issue with warranty work on tuned cars. If an engine, trans, etc. has a major fault and needs to be replaced, corporate gets involved in the investigation, and will immediately deny any claims on a vehicle with a tune. The dealership has absolutely no say in...

I took mine to Scott Clark when I was having an issue with my radar. Not a bad experience. Not five stars, but not bad. I’ve heard bad things about pretty much every dealer in the area, so I think it’s a roll of the dice. A friend gets his 86 serviced in Pineville, but I’ve read a few bad...

Another happy customer of EBC, had mine done a couple of hours ago. They were exactly on time. The whole process was quick, painless, and I got exactly the result I wanted. Can't wait to do some driving now! Thanks!

Wow, that's worse than my STI. I'm nearly 100% city driving, but my average is about 24mpg. I drive it about the same as my STI, and that was just under 18mpg average. My RS3 was about the same, but I drove that in dynamic nearly 100% of the time. As for the Supra, I'm plenty of being heavy on...

Come on, it’s just a BMW. You can’t expect for them to have all of the options a Hyundai has! o_O

No reason for the meh - I’m 100% with you. My post is geared towards people who do care about the warranty. We both know that any decent oil isn’t going to be the cause of an engine issue, and Mobil 1 is definitely a decent oil. Manufacturers trying to save that warranty money are a different...

Thanks for updating the thread with your findings!

Weird. No gain control on the stock amp. I assume you stuffed both sides about equally when you performed the tadda mod. Since whichever sub is on that side has the same problem, I would say it has to be an amp issue - maybe something slightly grounded, causing an impedance drop on the amp, or...

1. Have you listened from the passenger seat, to make sure it's not just your perception? 2. Are you sure it's the sub, and not one of the rear fill components, rather than one of the woofers? Maybe a blown mid in the rear?

Don't tell people that. Generally speaking, no, there really isn't anything wrong with Mobil 1 fully synthetic oils. Honestly, it's a good oil, and is even generally well-regarded with the folks at bobistheoilguy. That said - Mobil 1 does NOT currently carry any certifications from BMW. Some...

Just put in a request. They offered me $46k (hah) for my 2021 with 1500 miles, and offered me just under $40k for my wife’s STI. So, either there’s something broken with your request, or it’s the weird way they present your value to you. They present your value as the cash you’ll have left...

With you 100%. And it would be worth it, if you didn't need something done on a somewhat regular basis. My Supra has been to the dealer 3 times in 1500 miles. :rolleyes: I always tell myself... Next time, I'm done with it. Then I pick it up, fall in love again, and then it's 'ok, next time, is...

"Ugh, we'll take that ICE POS off your hands... You're welcome, it's more than it's worth for the old dinosaur."
