Did you try changing your VPN location?
I'm currently not experiencing these issues, but I have seen them in the past and changing my VPN location (or just waiting it out) typically solves it.
Yup, a lot of states (31 to be exact) have regulations surrounding vehicle emissions - although California is by far the most strict (and actually why I moved out of that state).
The top 5 most strict states for vehicle regulations are:
California
New York
Massachusetts
New Jersey
Maryland...
Literally me, at your service. I'm even more cringe in real life.
The way I see it you either want to drive your car (manual) or just be a passenger holding the steering wheel (automatic).
If you prefer the later take these steps:
Get a Tesla Plaid
Put it in auto-pilot
Set the destination to...
Food for thought:
The new 2026 M2-CS with 523-hp will not be coming with a manual because BMW said their current manual drive train is not reliable at the increased 523-hp. Assuming it's the same ZF S6-53 found in our Supra, that should tell you a little something about where it loses reliability.
I do think mechanically, removing the CDV can prevent clutch wear on hard shifts or clutch kicks. That's the main reason I removed mine as I like to drift the car.
The answer is a bit of a mixed bag.
There are multiple owners that report their clutch failed before 15,000 miles at stock power levels, or slipped shortly after putting on a tune. Then there are users like coyfish that don't have any problems at all within the 500-600wtq range.
I believe you...
I too love Bw EFR series. I have an 8374 on my large ported 13B Rx7. Great turbo, hasn’t let me down. 20psi by 3800rpm (which is really good for a rotary engine that’s ported to all hell). Can only imagine what it would be like on a torque happy B58.
Thanks for the response - yeah I had the yellow ones as well but I am manual... I'm assuming the autos buffer out NVH more than manuals... hell I'm starting to think the manuals just have a lot more power/drive train slop in general. ?
Watching this thread.
Particularly interested in a twinscroll setup that comes as close as possible to the OEM response (or dare I say even better?) while giving a far greater engine output.
IMO, it’s irrelevant. I’ve played with tire pressure between 30psi and 40psi and lower helps a little, but simply because it gives the tire a better coefficient of friction. I think in reality as verkiline and others have pointed out the issue is inherent in the factory suspension geometry.
I see your point Phil. But we both know nothing is guaranteed in life and their response IMO was very well thought out and analytical while at the same time not making BS promises to try and force the sale of any particular part. The fact that they didn’t make any promises is indicative of a...
Update:
Got a response directly from Verkline on the issue and have posted it in my original post in this thread. It provides a wealth of information so I suggest those in this thread go give it a read :)

yeah that’s what I did. Big improvement. Only NVH is at idle when the AC cycles but even then it’s not much at all. 100% would do again. The trans mounts however were wayyyy too much nvh so I took em out.
yes Phil. All my race stories are entirely fabricated just so I can look cool to a bunch of complete strangers on a dying communication medium. All the trophies I have were purchased directly from a trophy shop and I somehow convinced my wife to post in a bikini with the fake championship trophy...
