BMW was somewhat impudent in building this car in my opinion. From the clown horn to the crappy audio system (no Harmon Kardon) in a $60K+ car, thin paint (in my opinion), to the ridiculous alignment from the factory. The M340i has better options if spec’d out right. Although fully spec’d out would run you $70K+ easily. However, I have to say the build quality is very good on our cars. They prolly figured whoever buy these cars will have their own custom alignment and not care so much about audio.
The audio system IS Harman Kardon, it's just not called that since Toyota normally uses JBL. Harman owns both HK and JBL. Sadly the audio system in my 2007 4Runner is much better than the Supra. Honestly the HK system in any of my BMWs has just been ok at best but the Supra is definitely the worst.

Not a Corvette.
Thanks for posting that, was fun to watch and makes me excited about the future mods I'll be doing to the car.

On this subject - for the first time since owning the car I took an aggressive drive with the traction control enabled. And honestly it does a fantastic job at masking the instability issues of the stock suspension/alignment. So kudos to BMW for a well designed stability control system I suppose.
I have TC fully off in that video. Long press. All systems off.
