Yes, agreed, unrelated. I couldn’t find any date ranges here other than mid 2020 builds. But lots of dates on the B58 forums. Well known problem there and BMW even had their version of a TSB out, which they later yanked from their data base.

It’s truly been a PITA and it shouldn’t have to be that way. Everyone with a 2021 built in 2020 after they locked the ECU should routinely check the oil level. Your car likely has an oil pump with plastic internals, specifically the retaining ring goes bad. When the computer stops doing it...

Well, after taking the car to a DIFFERENT Toyota dealer (per the 800 number's recommendation since the first dealer refused to do anything further "without codes"), they were able to duplicate the bad pressure numbers obtained by my Indie BMW shop (and confirmed by BMW Tech Support as needing a...

Yikes! Thanks for the codes. Dealer this morning won’t do anything because no codes. And my warranty expires in 2 months. FML. Thanks

Nice tack to take. I used that when I uploaded a failure video to the complaint site. Told them I paid $94 for diagnostics and the failure mode was not fixed. Let’s see. Thanks for the pro tip!

Lucky me (really). Thanks for the information.

yes, until 9/20/25, so 2 more months. The customer service rep at the 800 number was understanding that the “problem” of the computer not reading properly has not been fixed.

went back this morning, Made the service writer sit in the car and watch the failure to measure oil level happen. He spoke to the “Supra tech,” who did not want to discuss this with the customer (me). Since there are no codes, the tech won‘t do anything further. Best they could do was to...

Interesting. I’ve tried mine from cold start after short drives. Doesn’t matter - at least for me. But I’ll try that. Thanks! yea, it’s going back tomorrow. We’ll see what they say

Any information on the code it throws? Mines not gone yet, just failing to complete read. 7/20 build also, only 25K miles

So, the saga begins. Took the car out of storage this Spring and it said I needed an oil change (time not miles as I had only driven it 1200 miles since 11/23 as I was down to 2mm on the front pads from track days). Anyways, got the brakes done last month and I kept checking the oil level...

I go to Schaumburg Toyota as Naperville Jake Deering is too far for me. They have a dedicated Supra service advisor Steve Krueger. I use them for LOF and warranty work, but if I need other things (like brake, rotors, etc.) I go to the WerkShop on 176 in Libertyville, they are BMW specialists.

Installed the new 2023 strut tower brace and got rd of the ugly arse electrical conduct within the flattened ends.

Thanks

Anyone know what the beige stuff is on the M10x1.5 bolts that hold the L&R bars to the car is? I’m replacing the ugly silver tubes and was wondering what the substance is. Anti-Seize of some sort?

Mine had 17 miles on it. Picked it up day after it dropped. But they did let me test drive a new white one 6 weeks before, and I wasn’t gentle with it ?

Agree. It’s fun 2-3x a year and it certainly won’t hurt the car. (2021 with 19K miles and no oil burning) Full front PPF helps, although I do have a couple of nicks that didn’t “self heal” from track debris.

It shows up about 1-2 months after date of first use.

I` had one HPDE novice track day under my belt when I did the NASA day at the same track. The lead follow was kinda meh, but the cone drills were instructive. But be careful, it will start to make you into a track rat.
