Where do you all get your decals for class and number from now? They set I had before was magnetic. Thanks.

3 over Y was easy for me to pick.

One thing that always stuck me as odd about people buying extended warranties is that basically, people with no knowledge are saying to the experts with data,"I bet you I know better and it will cost more than you think." That is what you are saying when you buy an extended warranty. I know...

I can't make it but want to voice my support. Thanks for putting this together for the community. Have fun everyone.

Eh, I'd disagree to a certain degree for me personally. The main benefit of the smaller wheel is improved efficiency, which I could care less about considering I start each day with more charge than I use and electricity is relatively cheap. I could be wrong, but I bet you would have little...

At the current prices, the M3P seems like the obvious answer to me over the M3 LR AWD. However, your battery is not going to die the day after the warranty expires. It is not like a timing chain that brakes on a motor and it eats itself. If you're that scared, fine, but it would be hard to...

This is brining back bad memories for me. I once did a master cylinder on a 944 and went through 5 bottles and a couple nights before I took it in to a shop to learn my new master cylinder was letting in air. When I built my car, I had to make my own lines throughout and had a few leaks to...

You have something loose in your car? Its will brake hard enough to toss around loss objects and make them "bang"

Coilovers for the win again.

Did you even read any of those? I read the first three. Two of which state not to mix tires of different types like me where the other does not address it. All were referring to needing to replace two tires with tires from the same manufacture. All thee are simply concerned with tread depth...

No no no. Absolutely not the right approach, at least in my opinion. Yes, you would be less likely to have power oversteer with better rear tires. However, that is a terrible tradeoff for the loss in steering and braking performance unless you have absolutely no throttle control, especially...

Yeah, 3M tape means it can't be seeing much force. Maybe a little, but not noticeable considering the max force will be at high speed and that max force will be the limit of the tape. 3D printed parts could work fine if they are tied in correctly. The best jobs I have seen are connected to...

Not recommended at all. Tires are literally your only connection to the road and determine your limits. Paying for a sway bar instead of matching tires makes no sense at all to me. If you ask me, you're actually much better off with 4 cheap matching tires than two mismatched tires. At least...

Hmm... I don't love seeing that tire above. I had that but worse on a prior generation Bridgestone after about 3K miles and a handful of autoXs and swore them off at the time. I had chunks rip off. Now everyone seems to rave about them and I was thinking of going that way for my next set, but...

Hard for anyone to say based on what you described. First off, did you curb the wheel after the alignment? That defiantly could have affected it and you may need to have it aligned again. Put simply, if you wheels were aligned and then you rammed one corner, sure that could knock that corner...

I'm not 100% sure 13.2 is not getting low actually. Old cars that I am used to in the past would read more like 13.5-14.6V when the engine is running but only around 12.6V when resting.

Huh, so we're talking SS of .834 or EVX with .838. What is allowed in EVX? Do you need to run 200TW street tires? I'm not sure if I should really care too much about mods that would move me out of SS since it is not a big penalty.

Somethings not working right and they are needing the manually correct for it. I think your best corse may be asking them what broke that is causing this behavior and why they are not fixing it under warranty. That is not within spec or normal. They are using a work around and charging you...

If the problem is present with different wheels and tires and the alignment is good, I'd check the wheel bearings too. Could have one starting to go and it would be worst at high speeds most likely. If it is not the wheel bearing, you may need to start checking the driveline which would not be...

What? You bought the tire from Discount Tire with a warranty and when you had a problem you called Tesla and were surprised when they told you that you need to work with who you bought the tire from. Why did you call Tesla expecting them to help you with someone else's product? If you bought a...

18" in the front and 20" in the rear would make the front look bad to me. I think most people would look at it and think, why does the front not look right?

Comparing a car with 71K miles to a new car is somewhat iffy. Of course they are different even with the same parts. However, I am sure your experience in those 71K miles has value and I agree the 2023 M3 Performance I have is under dampened. I would say it is both compression and rebound...

Here is a picture of mine just after I got my winter setup on. I'm planning a mountain drive with a better photoshoot so hopefully I will have nicer pictures with my tint soon. Apex EX-7 19 x 9 +34 offset with 3 mm rings to deal with M3P hub lip. Anthracite finish. 2023 M3P with stock...

Very nice, any chance you selling those brackets for them?

Probably won't be totaled unless the battery was damaged, but it won't be cheap either. Curious, was the Durango driver found at fault for your crash? I know he caused it and you avoided the three cars, I just don't know how they handle situations where you hit something avoiding a crash. My...

I was a little late to the party and did not know about the classing until just recently. Hope it turns out well. I guess we will see soon. Thanks for those of you who put in the time to write to them.

You've had your official warning and you're free to enjoy your car in whatever way works for you. No skin off my back if you make difference decisions and enjoy different things. However, I'm not coming from nowhere with this and there are certainly many others who have shared the same opinion...

Yeah, I'd never recommend running different tires on different corners. Tires are your only connection to the road. You don't want to be doing an emergency stop in the rain and find out one side has grip and the other side does not have as much. That will want to rotate your car. The load...

I assume they are referring to the simple truth that lowering springs alone will significantly degrade your suspension performance. You are trading off significant performance in how the car works while moving for how it looks while parked. Seeing as cars are designed to move, it is a poor...

Man and I happy to see this. I've had Koni's Sports on a couple cars and they were awesome for the money. Spent way more for Ohlin's on a prior BMW. While they were good, the price never sat well with me. Actually, the price led me to build a driving simulator but nobody wants to hear about...

Negative camber will wear the inside of your tire more as the tire is basically slightly tilted with the top of the tire towards the inside of the car and the bottom slightly further outward. However, incorrect toe alignment would cause it to wear much faster. Your upcoming alignment will tell...

I guess I have gotten to the point in my life that I tend to just get myself things I want within reason. Pretty fortunate I guess but I don't have much in the way of gift ideas for a birthday coming up. Had a couple general ideas and thought maybe some of you would help me build the list out...

The weight of wheels has differing takes from different people. Some were swear that nothing will improve suspension performance like a cut in unsprung weight and cutting it has huge advantages over reducing sprung weight. I've herd 7:1 ratio or all kinds of stuff that I have never seen any...

Has anyone tried doing a different wood veneer or even a full piece of wood? I can't exactly put my finger on what I don't love about it. It seems like a pretty simple cheap piece to me is part of it I guess. I normally like some wood in a simple setting, but this piece is not anything you...

I was all over the place and could not settle on anything. On the new side, I was considering a BRZ/GR86, Mustang GT, Challenger, EV6 GT, m240i, or wait for new M2 or maybe a GR Carolla. I have issues with each of them though. Part of me wanted to go for a depreciated Euro sport coupe like...

Looks great. I'd vote for lighter and wider wheels, though you may want to wait until you need tires for that.

That is what I ended up ordering with a roll of 3M PPF. I have not installed them yet, but they seemed a decent compromise between the fitting the car and protection. Thought about going with Rokblokz or Rally Armor, but both seem a little bigger than I would like. May go with a colored set...

Another one with a strong vote to dedicated winter and summer tires. The reality is that All season tires are manageable in snow, but the best all season tires is still far, far off the performance of a good snow tire on ice. Go look at any stopping distance comparison on snow and ice between...

Great, wait about one month until Insurance and the police start requesting that. Nothing good can come from his in my view.

Awesome work. I'm impressed. Any chance you would be willing to share some of those 3D files for the brackets you designed with someone who is not on your level?

Yikes. Sorry to see this. I don't know it if would help, but maybe you can call your rep and quickly explain your situation to see if they can work something out. You're not doing this because you're entitled and impatient in my opinion. Maybe they can close the deal before the car arrives...

I also went with Xpel XR Plus, though Xpel was all the shop I wanted to use carries. They also use Xpel for PPF, so it could be an entire line they signed up for, still I did not find any reports of issues with it on my quick search. Seems to be well regarded and from a major company standing...

Looks pretty good to me and like you said a good option for someone wanting to test it out to do something else for a while. I've been toying with the idea of making my own brushed aluminum piece for my own car but know it would be a lot of work to make look good. Probably even longer since I...

Yeah, defroster lines are normally pretty easy to damage. In fact, when they used to tape temp plates in the back window, you had to be sure not to tape over the lines. Even Scotch tape would pull up the line when you pulled off your temp plate. Definitely worth spending a little time to find...

So your saying your hole is too big and now you want to go bigger and black... Where have I herd that before? Sorry, I could not resist.

Well I've had my back window tinted for a whooping 6 hours or so. No cracks. Myth officially busted. I went 20%, looks great to me.

Do you have a speed limit set? I think if you put on a speed limiter it auto selects Chill mode.

Rollin' on 120s. My next rap video is starting to take shape.

I have an older model Jukebox from my first EV which I have been using with my new Tesla. Not sure the model number any more but it has been in use for almost 6 years without issue. You do need to use the included J1772 adapter for Teslas, which is not a big deal as long as you remove the...

I picked mine up a few weeks ago and have some misalignment like shown, though not as bad. Maybe 2/3rds to half as much. For me, I figured there was about 0 chance of a person doing a better job on attempt two without the same manufacturing equipment then attempt one with everything they have...
