Another difference… BimmerLink is now compatible with CarPlay.

I had the same dilemma. The nitro yellow is my favorite, but it’s such “in-your-face” color I figured I’d eventually get tired of it. I chose red and do not regret it. BTW, this my fourth red car, and I’ve never had issues with peeling or fading.

That’s correct. This video explains it: It‘s worth having a battery tender, and BimmerLink.

Cammisa’s video seems to be timed with the SP’s announcement:

Apart from the whole mining of elements used in current batteries not being really green, and the modern slavery/child-labor exploitation that goes with it, there’s one thing the media doesn’t mention: heat. Batteries generate heat while charging and while driving. I don’t know if anyone has...

FYI for those who have an iPhone 15. No idea if this applies to the Supra. https://www.zdnet.com/article/bmws-wireless-charging-can-destroy-your-iphone-15/

I see what you mean. Apparently you need to use both apps: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/lightweight-battery-alternative.17049/post-298930

If you are referring to registering the battery, you do that with BimmerLink.

I never did get the option to renew the connect services, or a follow up email. My services still work; in fact, just yesterday I got a navigation update. I guess Toyota quietly extended the services, and who knows for how long.

I use this one, which manages AGM an Lithium batteries. https://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GENIUS5-Fully-Automatic-Temperature-Compensation/dp/B07W8KJH44/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1EADVZVPUKB9E&keywords=noco+genius+5&qid=1690674110&sprefix=Noco%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

Thanks. The GR Supra is not listed, obviously, as @J29DB03 pointed out, because our services are provided by BMW.

Where did you read Toyota extended the service to 10 years? I got the same email in early June. I was expecting it since the free service was supposed to be for three years, and mine was to expire at the end of June. I tried the link, but the German BMW site didn’t recognize my credentials, so...

Mine came out as a single piece. I used a hair dryer to loosen the double-sided tape, ultra-fine fishing line, and a prying tool to pop it out. Piece of cake.

Did oil capacity increase for 2023 or for manual models? That receipt shows 8L. Isn’t capacity supposed to be 6.9L? My 2020 Premium has always gotten 7L.

These guys liked it, a lot.

I had the same dilemma initially, but in the end I found it was pretty straightforward to do it myself. I did have a challenge with the bolt. I could not loosen it with any of my tools so I had my trustworthy mechanic help me with it (I had to remove the air bag in his parking lot). Removing the...

Do you have WiFi enabled on your iPhone before you start the car? Without it CarPlay won’t work, and enabling WiFi after you start the car won’t work either. That is in addition to having Bluetooth turned on. I’ve never had CarPlay issues as long as I remember to do that.
