Haha!

I don’t know your budget, but a new/newer model 3 is a much cheaper car to own in all respects, including to insure. If you can afford a highland 3, all the better. Highland is a much better car than a used S: better ride, as quiet, better visibility, more nimble, no air suspension...

It is incredible. On the highway, I love it. In town, it does its job, but it is a bit stressful.

Install cost was a lot cheaper than a shop, at least at the places I got estimates from. Place recommended I keep stock height until suspension settles, so maybe lower car a bit in 6 mos. is the tentative plan.

The place I bought it from recommended a guy who did install. He doesn't have a shop.

2nd suspension? Sucks you’re not happy with first. Are you in MN? You can check mine out..

Wanted to follow up and let folks know the Ohlins comfort coil overs are excellent, and ride, comfort are much improved over stock. Feels like a different car. I think NVH is better as well. The Ohlins are on the expensive side, but I think worth it.

Does the steering wheel retrofit have the horn in middle? Or is it still the button on the right?

The guys I bought the kit from are helping me find a shop. Not sure which shop yet. Yeah, my car is only 1 year old, so I am worried about warranty issues regarding the motors, mostly, after coilovers go on. I’ve already had the rear motor replaced under warranty. I can let you know which...

I have no idea if they are the older or newer springs. I receive the set later this week. How can I tell? And, are you recommending not to lower car with this set?

I just picked up a set of Ohlins street/performance coilovers to deal for our 23 MYP (Dec 22 purchase). We are so tired of the harsh ride. I’ll have them installed early April. I’m hoping for a drastic improvement but we will see.

Wondering how changing to coilovers has gone for folks who have gone down that road with their MY. Please share your experiences.

I get it.. the MS is just a really good looking, sexy car despite its age. It is timeless. I love it, especially the 17” screen and hatchback, and have planned to buy one, but for some reason my wife hates the car. She drives a YP that she loves and is much more agreeable to buying a M3...

We really like the peppiness of our YP around town. The power is very pleasing. When I test drove LR, it was slower so not as responsive and fun. That’s a great color combination! When is your delivery scheduled?

I really thought we’d be eating crickets by now.

Haha! That’s awesome! I hope my last vehicle is a plaid!!!

I too have considered the X after price drop after living with a YP. But, I’ve decided to wait for the Y refresh which will likely address all of the things I don’t like about my Y: harsh suspension, rattles, and road noise. The X is nice vehicle but the depreciation on my YP really prevents...

I deleted/reinstalled the watch app on phone and then reconnected watch to car. Works fine now. I don’t keep app running on phone.

He should do it then. You obviously know best.

I agree. Likely Q2 for MP3 if not sooner.

Welcome! That’s a great color combination!

That’s a fun garage!! Is the Tesla faster than the Nissan?

personally, I wouldn’t bother. You might get the HW4 upgrade, but no other improvements. I suggest you wait until the juniper update comes out, which may offer some worthwhile improvements like M3 highland upgrade has. Juniper Y might be available later this year or early 25.

Yeah, there’s a ton of bad press on EV’s, although it’s not hard to identify legitimate articles vs the propaganda from the competing interests. Actually some of the articles are quite hilarious and entertaining! Although I know they successfully hook some folks. We have family who have...

I have 23’ YP with 20” winter wheel set with Pirelli winter tires and the ride is worse not better than stock Uber’s with the Michelin AS 4’s. I think the Pirelli’s must be stiffer the Michelins. But whatever tires you run, I think you will have better luck improving ride a little by going...

The noise was very irritating in my car. It was occurring at all speeds, but the pitch changed and it was louder at 60mph plus. It was driving us crazy anytime we were on a hwy. noise didn’t start until car had about 4k miles. I have no idea if we are talking about the same noise. Noise...

Did you get the beastie, or other version? Please say more about your ownership experience..

Tesla replaced the rear drive unit. Noise is gone! Car motors are silent at all speeds now.

I test drove a long range highland this afternoon and thought the stereo was fantastic. -better than the system in my YP.

Stocks or no stocks, the car has been improved considerably. Just test drove a LR today. Looking forward to the upcoming Y upgrade.

Sorry you are having back pain. Do you still own the car? We have had a YP for about a year. I hate it and my wife loves it. I'm 6-3 and she's 5-7. Maybe it's because the seat is on stilts, but I just cannot get comfortable in the vehicle, although I'm not experiencing pain thankfully.

I don't blame you at all for wanting to switch to a CT. I've got a YP and am considering a CT deposit.. I didn't get the X in the first place to avoid the troublesome doors. Aside from the aforementioned list of new stuff, it seems the truck also has a quieter interior and an improved ride.

My YP is a beast in the snow with the Pirelli winter tires and the 20” wheels from Tesla. Still have to be careful with the regen but the car is unstoppable and handles great in snow. Don’t recommend the 20” winter set from Tesla. — too expensive. Seems like a good bet is to put winter...

Why selling so soon?

Very helpful, thank you. Happy to see handling much improved and ride is improved from stock.. And your car looks awesome with great vanity plate!

The BMWs are awesome! When we bought in DEC, the MY seemed like the best bet. Like Teslas, the BMW’s weren’t being discounted then, and it seemed to make the most sense to get the Y. Due to the price cuts, I feel like I’m stuck with it, hence the suspension shopping.. The IX price cuts...

Haha! No, MX or BMW IX.

Decided to purchase the redwood sport performance although I am a bit anxious about it since there isn’t much info from Y owners who have this specific setup. Redwood ensures me handling will be significantly improved along with improved ride quality. I’m justifying purchase by considering how...

Thanks guys..

Wish I could try them…. RWMS said GT is like bmw 3 and performance sport like M3 with GT HD in the middle..

Hi, Did you happen to install a Redwood suspension on your 23' YP? If so, what kit did you get? I have about 14k on my YP and I'm very close to pulling the trigger... leaning towards the sport/performance set. Thanks..

I have rear motor whine noise as well. Noise is noticeable mostly at 60 mph with accelerator pressed slightly to maintain the speed. Noise goes away once release accelerator. Noise is very irritating! I took out all of the covers out in the back and drove around and whine was noticeable...

I’d love to trade my booming rattle trap MY for a nicer car, possibly a MX or Xi. Wish I had spent the xtra $$$ and bought the Xi in the first place….thought about it. Instead, I overpaid massively for the Y ($68k) and less than a year later, car is worth $43k. If were to get a Model X...

How are you liking your plaid in comparison to M3P? With S price drop, I am now considering SP, but have been waiting for MP3 highland. New 3P may be extra special, according to some reviewers, since it is not yet available in the markets with the other trim levels.

I’ve been watching the recent out of spec youtube channel videos, including race to Vegas and the Taycan, Lucid, S Plaid comparison. Yes, I have too much time on my hands. The out of spec vids are decent and enjoyable, mostly. All of them have extensive seat time in many EVs so I trust...

I assume the OP is talking about the electric 5 series about to come out. Like the Xi, I’m sure it will be a great car, so I would encourage anyone to check it out. But, the BMW will it’s own problems, especially since it is brand new. I was looking at buying a Xi for awhile and owners were...

I test drove both repeatedly and liked the YP better because it was more snappy, more responsive around town. Also I liked the big wheels and spoiler. Having owned the car for over six months now, I wish I had gone with the LR. The 21” wheels on the YP are really only cosmetic. And the...

Thanks for letting us know. I assume you’ve been perusing the i4 forums as well… So those owners aren’t having problems of their own, aside from figuring what charger works during road trip?
