Great thread!
So much you can do to make it sound the way you want. Personally I donāt like the 20s but who cares about opinions. You lost out on an amazing car though. BMW or not, itās the best car under 75k.
And locking the ecu makes sense! 100% sense.
RNZ in Miramar does solid work and relatively cheap. They are car people and you can tell they modify cars themselves. For all mods I can no longer do myself, I go to them. Dennis, the owner does really good work and can do almost anything.
RNZ in San Diego is my go to for installing mods I canāt do myself. They do really good work and will modify modifications to get the install done right. However they do not specialize in a specific thing. I would call it a general shop that is extremely mod friendly.
I agree ā, BMW would need a really really good reason to undercut themselves. I just donāt see a GRMN with the S58 happening as a production car. At best a few one offs.

Glad to hear that they are increasing the mids with the unused speaker. The system oem+ system uses a Mobridge most25 signal processor followed by a match 7 channel amp and a cheap small mono amp. On my harness it appeared that many of the speakers donāt work because the connection isnāt...
Unlike other cars. Exterior mods for this platform are pretty boring unless you go full replacement bumpers. Most exterior mods are just bland. I miss my AP2 and hawkeye that I can truly change the look.
Scary thing is that insane Sentra and Altima drivers will soon be able to buy an insanely fast EV for cheap. Itās already happening with many horrible Tesla drivers. Now itās unheard of to stop at stop signs, yield, or drive at appropriate speeds. People already think they are gods in regular...
TuxMat is perfect but does require double sided tape to keep the mat hugging the dead pedal and away from the throw of the clutch pedal. I have had mine for about six months and it is an easy recommend.
I think all their rank videos are insanely predictable. First gen is usually last (R&D), second gen is second (Refinement) icon is first (Perfection), newest is usually in the middle (Modern).
I think the quote that they have advantage of hindsight is not yet applied to the MKV and thats why it...
