THIS. Those bandclamps are known to fatigue and crack over time. In addition to that, BMW tells us that they're a one time use, so replace it if you have to unhook it for any reason, as it'll never be as tight the second time around, no matter how much you turn the bolt.

Oh I'll show you condescending, Johnboy..

Well, if you have a MY2021 A91, the 04466-WAA03 is the correct OE pad. As far as the differences go, I know one of them is for the Base model, which has slightly smaller brakes, and the other one is likely just a production date split and possibly a slight reformulation of the friction...

Gimme a few minutes and I'll tell you...

AS1 stripe and wingmirror position?

Yeah I just checked mine, and I can do that too. I certainly wouldn't recommend doing it for no reason, but the rotary motor design allows that movement without damaging anything. Instead of the geared motors other systems use, the rotary is like a fan motor, which can be turned manually...

That little amount of "slop" is totally normal on these cars, as the wipers have a "park" position a bit lower than their stop point when the system is actively turned on. The motor & linkage allow some movement while off, and if you move it from where it was when the vehicle was turned off...

Only the RIGHT FRONT was replaced, due to excessive fluid leaking past the shaft seal (enough to drip onto the ground). They determined the aftermarket lowering spring was not at fault for the issue, and the seal was defective out of the gate.

Care to post the VIN?

That seems quite odd, unless they were chasing a noise or leaks, but even then I'm curious if they did one or both, because while the rule of thumb is to always do them in pairs, the new vehicle warranty will ONLY replace the bad part(s), often only doing the side that is needed...

Well, the RT is just my first & middle initials, pilfered from a Tacoma box-side decal I had laying around and cut up. I've been initialing everything in my life that way for 30 years now, so thought it was mildly appropriate. The SE is more cryptic, as not only did Toyota offer an SE grade...

Not what I did today, but last week: I added the CF dash plaque, homemade buffeting solution, matching dead pedal, got my Verus wiper reservoir and A/C line caps installed, added my initials to the left rear window, and lastly I ordered the gloss CF vinyl to wrap the rear strut brace, and am...

It also reeked of burnt clutch when I drove behind him. Dude really needs to learn how to drive..

But does anything ever truly "come with" the car? I mean, it cost TMC something to make, and they're not going to lose money over it. It may "come with the car," but you're paying something for it somewhere along the line, and considering the cost of things in America's attic these days, I...

So I installed this and am finally getting around to posting about it. I cut the stock boot 3/4" from the bottom of the knob sleeve like the others did, and that worked out well. The Raceseng Contour sits at the same height as the stock knob, and is extremely secure with the included adapter...

Any videos of how the turn signals work? Are they still amber?

Yeah, I got my door handles recently, and the quality is excellent. Also DM'ed him on FB and he's very responsive. I think the forum was just one too many places to keep up with, given how busy he is and being a one-man company and all. He's still solid in my book.

It's even more embarrassing because Toyota even created a special decal that's affixed to the windscreen, also warning the PDI technician of this.. and yet it's still happening! I can't recall if the secondary decal has been there for the duration, or was more recently added, but now that I've...

Let me send you one of my stickers for it!

No, it's your sign to publicly trash the dealer that sold it like this, and argue strongly that Toyota warranty everything minus the springs (presuming you're still within the 3/36). Enough is enough, I've read the PDI instructions, and it's crystal clear regarding the transport spacers!
