Maybe joyride maybe not, I believe they're instructed to do a 4-point check... I'd be worried as well since we do hear horror joyride stories. I'd guess that, unless it's the first time they're seeing a special car, with the amount of servicing they do, they'd probably be sick of driving...
They...
all that R&D, tooling, etc. to sell 1,386 vehicles over 5 years, avg ~277 annually, 23 monthly. Well, not bad actually :)
200K a piece: $277M, annually ~55M. Would be curious to see what the profits look like..
but I agree, even though they've done phenomenal engineering on it with sleek design...
Well, I've got sad news to share.

Just got an email from AWE. They have few samples of their brand new intake ready for purchase. If they don't post it here in few days I will. They look extremely good in CF.
Well, let me annoy you as well.
It won't matter what anyone says on this forum because they don't ride with your wife and have your driving style or the roads you drive on. you'll test drive in few and get first hand results anyhow. You'll only get their impression/experience/feeling on such a...
Well you asked about "better sound" and performance. I simply said not much perf gains from even the $1000 ones... It's brand A vs B difference.
I've also not seen a side-by-side single dyno, same day/location with more than one type intake being tested to see a good comparison. Regardless...
From discussions & dyno graphs here, I gather exhaust and intake don't do too much for performance on this car unless you're 500+ hp and intake is somehow your bottleneck... or you're dragging/launching all the time and heat soak per iat, poor turbo shielding/high amb temp... But you could do...
It's like clockwork. Everyday between 10-11PM EST, forum gets bombarded with spam posts...
With all the real hacking going on, it's not that hard to pass Are you a robot text.
But I agree if user creation is less than an hour ago, new members shouldn't be able post...

Somewhat related as it's tech, for those who don't know or cared, there are mods and firmwares for phones as well and for example Qualcomm ones are more secure and many are uncrackable also because of bootloaders and whatnot, but Snapdragon chipset is crackable. This has been the...
Bigly. That's why it never went into production. Hence all these ft1 design copycats are shit unless they're making awesome ducts and adding pusher fans.
Just for scientific accuracy. As we all know state to state, heck even city to city, the road, asphalt, re-pavement differs immensely. So A to B with uncalibrated/synced equipments won't be that accurate....
Sooo, not for US variants??
Not sure, but I don't think there is anything special for OPF variants in the engine bay.. So, should be applicable to US variants as well, right??
It's weird that their Downpipe clearly says its for US, whereas this says OPF.
Vanos issues on bimmers are nothing new...
As far as Toyota, it's not fair to assess like that after all it's a BMW. Toyota dealers & customer service know jack shit about BMW stuff... It is for sure Toyota's fault for not foreseeing or caring more about the problems associated with such a...
