Ditto. I'll post back here to report what I find.

I just installed my Alcantara dash and am really thrilled! I traded my stock dash top for a covered one from RPM Tesla in California. The dash top is super easy to R&R, it is simply snapped in place. Not sure how easy it would be to cover it yourself. I didn't make a careful enough comparison to...

I assume MOD C is lighted sill plates. I have advice on those even if that's not what you meant. They don't solve a problem as much as they are just kewl. I unstalled the Hansshow ones which are way better than the Tesla ones. The aftermarket ones are better because you don't have to scrape off...

The saddest part of the climate control is that most other manufacturers figured out better solutions years ago. The previous 7 cars my wife and I have had over the past 25 years all had excellent set and forget climate control. Second saddest part is that there is not an aftermarket fix for the...

I have been following some similar threads comparing our cars to more mainstream vehicles. Gonebanannas' original post commenting on the primitive climate control system caught my eye. Spot on! The Octovalve and heat pump condenser reheat are genius, making the heating quite efficient. I have...

That is brilliant and brilliantly executed. I doubt I could even hand drill such a nice hole pattern :p let alone complete a decent looking facsimile. Any chance you could build more? License someone else to make them?

I'm probably older than your grandmother. :p

I had not run across those yet, thanks for the tip. Forgot about the part about explaining to others how to open the doors, I often get puzzled or "are you kidding me" looks. Even though we shouldn't have to add aftermarket parts to improve vehicles in this price range, it's great there are very...

I operate as you describe because I haven't figured out how to do it (easily) another way. On most modern cars it is possible to operate the handles without using a thumb and with some fingers or a thumb while holding something in that (no matter right or left on either side) hand. M3/Yers are...

Another newb here. Only about 500 miles in the 3 months I've had my 2022 MY. I really love the car but share many of the disappointments discussed here such as lane departure, lack of front camera, and no overhead view with surroundings. I have come to expect features like this because the cars...
