    How dumb are spacers?

    That's just not true, Porsche has used up to 30mm spacers as far as I know, but they may have gone larger. Currently they are using 17mm spacers on the 911. By your rational, this would mean that if it's good enough for Porsche, they are good enough for other vehicles. You got rid of your...

    How dumb are spacers?

    On an ICE AWD setup, the front and rear need to spin at the same rpm, which means front and rear need to have the same OD. The trouble with staggered setups is that it is difficult to get the same exact OD, but it is possible. With the Tesla having separate motors front and rear, they do not...

    How dumb are spacers?

    lower offset (not wider)...and no, lower offset wheel is the exact same as using a spacer. High Quality bolt on spacers are great. Just remember to retorque the spacers after 50-100 miles of driving after initial installation.

    Upgrade to FSD before increase?

    Then you should fully understand that this particular software feature is "use it or lose it". When you buy a new laptop, do you transfer over your version of windows? Wheels are hardware that's arguably easier to swap over then adjusting account settings, you don't transfer those over when...

    FSD Subscription

    Are there people that would really pay $100+ a month for FSD, or just keyboard dreamers? The average length of car ownership is ~8 years. That means total cost of FSD subscription would be $8000+...and when you sold/wrecked the car, that money would evaporate unlike the resale value that FSD...

    Upgrade to FSD before increase?

    Did BMW offer to transfer your sport and premium package to future vehicles, or did you pay for them understanding you bought a depreciating asset including the options? That's not loyalty, that's called being a fair weather fan

    Where are the camera views?

    Have you told her to try looking out of the windshield?

    Upgrade to FSD before increase?

    This needs to be reiterated to infinity. and lol to everyone who thinks an option should transfer with the vehicle owner. How ridiculous would it be if you bought a BMW with the winter weather package only under the conditions that every BMW you get on in the future had the winter weather...

    Is the tire shop tech out to lunch??

    As stated, smaller diameter and bigger sidewall is technically better in snow, but the average driver won't notice the difference. (FYI, 17" wheels don't fit on a model 3) Now tire WIDTH is much more noticeable. I tend to size down 1 or 2 widths from OEM for snow tires, and you never want to...

    15/20 spacers with 245/40-19 pics?

    Do you have pictures of the OEM 19s with spacers and the MPP coilovers?

    Mitin suspension

    It doesn't look like they even have a coilover over the Model 3? A major problem with "cheap" coilovers is that that damping is generally terrible. Manufacturing coilovers is not too difficult in the 21st century, but what is difficult is properly tuning the damper. Damping not matched from...

    HELP! Buy new M3 SR+ Or used LR AWD

    Do you ever drive more then 150 miles in a day? If the answer is yes, get the long range, and ditch the range anxiety. A 1-2 year old car with ~10k miles on it is essentially new anyways

    Modifying Model S aero wheels to fit Performance Model 3

    Model S is a 5x120 lug pattern, while Model 3 is 5x114.3. You won't be able to convert the wheels, but there are spacers that will convert, such as these Wheel Adapters | 5X114.3 To 5X120 | 1" Inch | 25Mm | 12X1.5 | 5X4.5 To 5X4.75 Problem is, the width/offset between the model S and 3 is...
