    Are you paying the SC for multiple half shaft replacements?

    Have a 2018 S 100D with ~70k miles. Half shafts were replaced in January 2021. They appear to be bad again. SC gave me a full price quote to fix. I tried to make the case that the latest TSB with the so-called "permanent" fix was issued in May 2021 and that it's not right for the customer to...

    Paint correction for light scratches and swirls

    Not sure what happened to my hood, but it kinda looks like someone dried it with a sandy towel. Not swirls as much as lots of minor scratches. Can't feel them with my fingernail, so I think they're pretty superficial. Looking for input on what compounds and/or polish work well on the M3 paint...

    Eibach + accel boost vs. MPP comforts

    Title says it all. Having a hard time deciding where to put my pennies. Goals in order of priority: - Get rid of the wheel gap - Smiles per mile of driving - Improve handling, or at least don't make it worse I've never lowered a car and have no basis for springs vs coilovers. I know coilovers...

    Model Y Performance Rear Motor

    Can anyone with a Y performance take a picture of their rear motor and post it here? Stick your phone up behind the drivers side rear wheel and you should be able to get a clean shot of the motor and more importantly the plate that has info on model number. Given the power output of the Y vs 3...

    Feature request: sport regen mode

    I like the hold mode from 36.2 but actually find myself using the brakes more often as it seems regen is now less aggressive overall, especially at higher speeds. True one-pedal drinking is only possible for... ahem... conservative drivers. I would love a sport regen setting that allows for a...

    I have two issues where I need some advice. 1) 110v charging There is a 15a circuit in my garage that supports 2 garage door openers and 2 wall outlets, one on each side of the garage.

    Shipping cross country + vampire drain

    Shipping company picked up my M3 this morning. SoC was about 73% at drop-off. For obvious reasons I have both valet and sentry modes enabled. I keep checking and the car hasn’t moved. Guess the driver isn’t headed east yet. But my battery is now down to 63% and I am getting range anxiety when...

    $0 hack to upgrade LR AWD to Performance [humor]

    After driving my LR AWD for a few weeks, it was starting to feel normal and I was having some buyer's remorse about not buying the P. Then I discovered a free hack to turn my AWD into a P. Take a 1-week road trip in a Honda Odyssey minivan :D Now my M3 feels like a spaceship again. On the...

    Protecting rear seats + kids + boosters

    I have 3 kids, two of whom still require booster seats. I am smitten by my white interior but a bit freaked about the kids destroying it. I read it’s pretty durable and stain resistant, but I’m still nervous. Has anyone in a similar situation found a nice looking, reasonably priced solution? I...

    New to the family

    Hey all. Lurked on here for hours and hours over the last couple weeks as I researched incessantly about my purchase. I eventually put a deposit on a showroom SR+ with 400 miles and was really excited. But then I kept reading about buying as much range as you could afford and started questioning...
