Yep, I wanted to track oil temps easily. However, having to navigate into the secret menu to check temps every time became cumbersome. It's shocking because my M2C has an oil temp read-out on the gauge cluster that is easy to get to.
It's going to become a more common complaint for those with the manual transmissions, too. It is very clear that the Z4 packaging did not entirely match the intentions/goals that BMW had for this car.
Ah yes I forgot about this one. Steering feel was one of the biggest let downs when I first test drove the car. I'm used to it now so it doesn't really phase me anymore. I came from an Alfa Romeo Giulia which had the best steering feel I've personally ever felt in a car and before the Alfa I had an FRS. So yeah, this cars steering feel is def a let down.
Heh, my previous car was an Alfa Giulia Quad too. And even though both cars have electric power steering, the Alfa is just in a different league in that regard.
Unfortunately mine wasn't a Quad
. I had a Q4 TI sport. But yes the steering feel on that car was amazing. Also the Alfa steering wheel and paddles made the Supra's wheel and dinky paddles feel that much worse.
My diesel passat had more info than the supra does. I don't understand why car companies don't have that I formation easily accessible.
I didn't drive mine long without the front-end SPL upgrades. You guys are right that it feels less connected stock. What a difference those parts made! I didn't buy them for the "feel" but wow what a difference... The remainder of my SPL parts (mostly rear end) are being put on this week before driving at Homestead next week. And praying they don't cancel it for the next hurricane
Interesting, I'm guessing it's to do more with the replacement of rubber bushings with spherical bearings & heim joints more than any geometry change?I didn't drive mine long without the front-end SPL upgrades.

For what it's worth, excluding oil temperature information, my M2C doesn't offer much else. Meanwhile, the Chevrolet and Ford vehicles offer all of the information an enthusiast can desire( and even more). My Camaro 1SS has just about every sensor mapped in the GUI of their vehicle software. With that being said, I would still take my previous '20 MKV or current M2C over that Camaro or any non-GS Corvette any day.
That would make sense. I'm not mechanically inclined to say the least. Just like to drive... But I sure do love this car for the power to weight and overall package for this price point!
