3.0 vs 3.0 premium

[Jammon]

Can I opt out lane departure feature? Or does it have to come with the premium

It comes with the premium, but you turn it off thru the GUI.

It's on my base model too. I H A T E it. Haven't found a way to turn it off completely, yet. It always seems to find a way to switch itself back on LOL. I keep trying, though. Most likely user error. I assume "GUI" in the screen/roto knob.

Yes, it is. When I first drove the car, it pulled some hard my friend said, "Do you know how to drive?". Unsure, if I turned it off using the GUI or thru Bimmer Code. In any case, it has stayed off. Look under System or Vehicle settings. GUI: Graphic User Interface.

Yeah. It's dangerously intrusive. I went to make a left turn without a turn signal (was on a turn lane already) and it almost put me into another car

Hey y’all. Just wanted to hear everyone’s thoughts who picked up the 3.0 and the 3.0 premium and hear thoughts on if they would get the same model again and why. I have the opportunity to get a 3.0, but not sure if I’ll have buyers remorse later if I don’t get the premium.

I have a base 3.0. The only thing I miss is blind spot monitoring. That is a great omission in this car with limited side and back visibility for a driver. Anything else has little value. I would consider Premium package it it had Android Auto - I do not use anything from Apple, thus Car Play is useless for me.

I hear ya man. I never want that thing on. Hence why I was looking for a 3.0 base but couldn’t find one when I was shopping. Rare as hell in 2022. The rear brakes would have been the only drawback and I woulda swapped em out like you.

My base seats are full electric including lumbar and side bolster width. Therefore I'm not sure how they could be described as very uncomfortable.

Maybe it’s because I sat in used base model and the seats were swapped? When I was first looking I sat and test drove a base and premium and the seats were like night and day.

You know there is a user manual, right?

For some reason I found the “magic” setting for it to stay off. For now I’m running a custom setup in the settings while stuck in town. I haven’t been to a track for a few months Too damn hot . And she’s holding that setting. I also have my OEM wheels and tires back on. Who knows if that makes any damn difference. But ain’t complaining. Once I’m back on track and mash that turn off all the nannies button, I’m in heaven!

Mine is a base but still has all that junk. Someone above mentioned I can fiddle with settings and fix it. I haven't been in the car for a few weeks but will soon.

Yeah. Books and Google but I'm a social animal, what can I say? This is far more fun.

I was in same boat when I ordered mine and actually made the same thread. I went the the premium only because of the rear brake size. I really wanted those alcantara seats in the base and went back forth for a month or two , but in the end it was the premium .

Speaking as another person who had never owned a vehicle with a HUD before this one, just the nature of it being a HUD seems very useful. I like that I don't have to look down to the gauges just to check my speed, or that it will have a brief popup when cycling through music or GPS. It is barebones and unintrusive and I like it.

That said, there are much better HUDs on the market that offer much more information and allow for actual customization of the displayed information. The lack of RPM in the HUD on the Supra is a downright head scratching omission.

RPM, current gear info, and shift points. All missed opportunities.

I'd buy mine every time. I like stock stuff and if you can't add it later without trusting the nubs at the local dealership then I'd rather get it upfront and remove or not use stuff.

Mine came with everything (which isn't much, lol. Expensive mirror caps and some lug locks).

For anyone reading this as research (as I did before voting mine): some of us have been tracking our base model cars. The rear brakes have not been an issue other than to initially find out which pad size we need. Most websites only list rear brake pads for the premium model, so we've had to do some research.
Don't let the rear brakes be a deterrent. They are a non-factor.
Unless you like red paint. Then you will want to buy a premium.

I have a 3.0 Base MT, personally I compared the 2 models to almost every bolt and decided the base was just what I needed. (I Only Compared the MT models)

Few things to note:

I like the HUD just not a Huge fan of the HUD.

Also the Toyota compare page states that painted calipers are not available unless you purchase premium, however I ordered based with safety and tech system + JBL package and it was delivered with red calipers! ( I didn't care at all I was going to paint them is they didn't come painted but nice surprise.)

I personally like the Alcantara seats much better than the black leather on the premium, I can live without the HUD.

And most important of all is, I don't regret it at all, vehicle is amazing regardless of base or premium, also if you go the route I did it does save you some pocket change $$ but at that point just go with the Premium.
