Does it have an auxiliary battery?

I’m guessing it is a four-cylinder with the auxiliary battery in the engine department. edit: just realized op is in the UK. Still the same guess (possibly) minus the four-cylinder. That or an aftermarket system in which case good luck.

This is terrible advice that should be ignored. Manufacturers account for leftover oil in the engine when specifying the oil change quantity. They do not expect everyone to guess how much is leftover, that’s nonsensical. You do realize the level displayed within iDrive is contains a buffer...

Makes sense. There’s no shortage of owners posting about poor experiences when taking their Supra to a Toyota dealership, but it’s all highly anecdotal. Some techs are probably happy to work on them, and some find it a burden because mechanically it‘s not a Toyota. Personally I’ve only been to...

I’m borderline mechanically inept and I have DIYed mine since the first oil change. Most difficult part is lifting the vehicle, everything else is quite easy on the B58. That said, I would look into one of the local euro-focused shops if DIY isn’t an option. I don’t have any firsthand...

…is this for real? You must not have even a fundamental understanding of software development and your self entitlement is overwhelming. UNECE R155/R156 would blow your mind. If anything, we are fortunate the barrier to entry to use ISTA is low; in contrast look into the hardware required to...

These cars deserve so much better.

This is so painful.

Does your second key work properly?

HT-12 is a coolant type, LC-18 is a BMW specification for which HT-12 must meet. There’s also a Zerex branded HT-12 that may be a bit cheaper if you can find it locally.

Is your accessory belt intact? Have you pulled codes? We cannot diagnose through telepathy. Stop driving the car when it’s overheated; you may cause far greater damage like a blown head gasket.

This recall is…interesting. The NHTSA documentation indicates all BMWs recalled are 4 cylinder models, and the volume of recalled Supras is 1469, manufactured between October 2019 and July 2021. This is far fewer than the production volume. Based on that bit of information, I’m wondering if...

I have the Ares version of this which looks about identical. Worked well - front passenger was slow to bleed but probably user error (not enough psi). I like this design much more than the popular Motive. Do let us know how it works for you.

The DME being locked or unlocked isn’t tied to the affected engines. I have a MY2021 built in March 2020 with a plastic oil pump. The estimated production date range has been covered ad nauseam in this forum.

Agreed running an engine for a few minutes is a bad idea for the reasons you’ve outlined. The ZF8 transmission will not stay neutral without using the manual override by physically accessing the transmission underneath the vehicle. It will lose hydraulic pressure after ~30 minutes and return to...

It‘s an average book value; condition and actual mileage aren’t a factor (at least not in any county that I’m aware of). If you can find someone in the same county with the same model year that should be a good estimate. Otherwise it’s just doing the math between the county rate and average book.

Prince William is Northern Virginia, there are other jurisdictions with lower rates.

Vehicle property tax rates are set by the county; if you look up their webpage, it’ll be documented. I don’t remember offhand how my county determines the value, but I think it’s based on NADA. Edit: I tried this cool new thing called Google which had a lot of great information:

Both companies have a full list of supported adapters on their websites. https://bimmercode.app/adapters/ https://rbttuning.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RBTTUNING/pages/1179749/xHP+Flashtool+-+Supported+Flashing+Hardware

I am frequently on the G20 forums and I haven’t seen anything notable yet. Forums represent a small sample size of owners though, and I imagine unless BMW extends the warranty it will be situational. My warranty just ended, and if the oil pump died tomorrow I wouldn’t attempt bringing it to Toyota.
