Umm.. weren't these seats stock in 2.0s in the US? Also, they are an option on all GTS models here and certainly not limited world-wide in any reasonable way.
Never have I ever heard them referred to as anything but "Alcantara" seats or more simply, "the best stock seats," lol.. but nice spin...
Can't comment on turbo upgrades but would be very interested to hear your opinion after the clutch slave cylinder replacement - presuming this is a CDV delete.
Yeah. That's what I figure. The price was over 50% cheaper than a "genuine" OEM replica so I figured I'd just roll the dice. Also, this seller offers free returns (including shipping) so other than the long wait, I figure I can't really go all that wrong. ?‍♂️
Apparently Bestcar is now saying that it's a B58 with a 7 speed DCT. Give it a few more weeks and they'll be saying what we always knew.. the GRMN will be (at best) a mildly tuned B58 with either the existing automatic or manual transmission along with some minor aero/cosmetics, etc. ?
Not sure who decided it would be a good idea to flood the sheet with a Chinese translation without formatting - In any case it has been deleted. ?‍♂️
It looks like it's a non-starter as far as IDrive is concerned. I thought there might be a Bimmercode fix but it looks like BMWs don't believe in auto-resetting the trip computer, unfortunately.
Yeah I got that - I kind of ignored most of her posts lol, but not really sure that's a thing to get banned over. I mean the yellow lights on the orange.. now that's a ban I'd support. ?
I've read just about every CDV thread I could find and I was about to just pull the trigger on a new clutch slave cylinder from BMW.. but after speaking to an experienced BMW tuner, I'm not sure it'll fix my issue.
The only issue I'm trying to fix is the inconsistent, 1 to 2 gear shift.
He...
Dropped my car in to get some more Adro love. Also, my AliExpress special carbon fibre diffuser has begun its long journey by boat.
It feels like I'm waiting for the car all over again! Ugh.
And I'm curious.. how does one get banned? I noticed @CafeRacerQueen got the boot. What did she do? lol
Saw my first Nismo in the wild today and well.. I actually quite liked it.
Although, now that I look at the photo, I can't seem to unsee that really bizarre lego brick wing on the body side of the boot trunk. I mean.. shouldn't they have just crafted the body to suit? ?
Thanks @Frankidee and @razorlab. I was hoping there was a setting to make it automatically reset. My Type R can be set to automatically zero out every time I fill the tank which is handy. Having looked into it a bit more it looks like not being able to do that is a BMW thing.. again, unless I've...
Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically reset the trip computer each time a full tank of fuel is added - either the one in the gauge cluster or on the iDrive screen? I can't seem to find the ability to set this anywhere.
Is this yet another missing feature or is it just me?
I started on a conservative 2pm setting for a few months and then went up to the 3pm setting more recently. I really can't fault the JB+ to be honest: Reasonable little bump for minimal cost and fuss. MT running 93 (98RON) exclusively.
And while it might just be placebo, in Sport mode with the...
