Wow you are brave to put that beautiful car on a U-haul trailer! Those things are sketchy as hell, plus they are so short it's almost impossible to get the right tongue weight on the tow vehicle.

Let's see if they can actually execute on this. Acura has been lost for many years now. My wife has owned three of them, all excellent cars, but their styling has been all over the place in recent years and they seem to have given up on sports cars (not counting the NSX, which isn't for normal...

Pretty sure BMW has put a rear timing chain on other engines (not all) because I remember hearing mechanics gripe about it before. It was done on the B58 for weight distribution, to move the weight away from the front of the engine. The oil filter, oil cooler, VANOS, controls, and timing chain...

I drove the M2C and Supra back to back a couple weeks ago and the Supra felt every bit as fast to me, despite having less power "on paper". We know the actual horsepower of both cars is underrated, but the M2C weighs 200# more than the Supra so even if the M2C has more power, it's also pushing...

Yeah, because we have never seen that engine before, or never heard anything about it. And of course it's never been tuned in the previous two years.... :rolleyes1:

Lots of indicators the 382HP motor is coming (and this was known months ago), but no names/details yet.

It's from the A-pillar, not mirrors.

Another dealer can't close the hood:

I couldn't have said it better myself!! One frequent comment over the last few months is that maybe Toyota did not like any of BMW's manual transmissions, making an off-the-shelf configuration undesirable. But now we have Tada saying people should get an 86 if they want manual. Well, I owned...

M2's front end is stiffer/sharper for sure, so the steering response feels more lively, despite BMW's dead feel in the EPS. The M2 is also a little more "live" when pushed hard, whereas the Supra starts telegraphing info much like BMW's M-sport (ie, M40i, etc) suspensions. Stiffness or not...

Look in the BMW catalog and get the macho dual horns from the Z4. For whatever reason, the Supra did not get these and instead got a clown horn.

Biggest thing is to avoid traveling at constant speed/rpm for extended periods of time. Be sure to vary rpm. Sport mode and manual mode are fine.

Check out the BMW 8 series and M5 for examples of the current upper limits in the BMW lineup.

So the control that does fwd-back, height, and tilt is a little peculiar. Up/down on one end of the control does height, while up/down on the other end of the control does tilt. If you're using the wrong end you'll only get one of those functions (and it's doubly confusing because tilt will...

My "bought new" sports car line goes like: 1997 Honda Prelude SH (with trick torque vector diff) 2003 Subaru WRX 2005 Honda S2000 2008 Honda S2000 (still have) 2011 BMW Z4 2015 Toyota 86 2020 BMW M2 Comp (current) 20?? Supra if they ever get an MT My daily driver is a 2019 BMW X3 M40i and I...

Folks have a lot of cojones to ask that for a titled/used car!

Re#1, it will power off when you lock the doors. If you don't lock the doors, default would be to power off after a certain time has passed when the key fob is out of range. BMW has additional options for this on some vehicles, so look in iDrive under vehicle settings. On my X3, I have it set...

It adds component variations, that is all. It doesn't require a separate production line as was suggested (which I responded to). BMW/Magna already mixes different models/series on the same line randomly, and transmission choice is way less complicated than that. Their whole production setup...

May as well just get the M2 Comp then. You'll be giving up looks and some niceties, and probably paying more, but you will gain sharper handling and a more playful feel so it's got some benefits.

Do the math to get the same outer diameter if you want the speedo to stay accurate.
