Turn Signals Optional: Gberg’s M3

My 440i has a button ring around the start/stop where you just disable it. You didn't have that? Well I went into sport mode every drive which disabled it automatically but it had that as well. The throttle not in sport mode made the manual kind of undriveable . The handful of times I did try it th...

I'm shocked the auto start/stop is off by default in the bmw and it's not something I have to disable every time I start it up.

Start/stop in a :manuel: just seems weird.

Dropped the bmw at the detailer of doom this morning. He's going to wash it, look for anything else that needs fixing, and put down new ppf on the roof. Going to pick it up tomorrow night so it has a full day and a half to cure in his shop. Though when I pulled up his shop was completely full so we...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

VW officially revealed the Mk8.5. For some :fullretard: reason the radar sensor is back in the lower grille instead of behind the emblem like it was for 2018-24. :notsure: how I feel about the alfa romeo wheels. New infotainment screen looks comically oversized. No doubt it'll be more useful but th...

Also, changing the tire setting to less than 100mph removed the constant inflate tire message. Why even have 2 different pressure settings? Just use the one for above 100mph. You're welcome :hubba: Germans are anal about that sort of shit... I Think it actually may be some sort of euro requirement....

I definitely think it's an improvement over the Mk8 :doe: . Just remove the side badges on the door. I think they were fine on the Mk7 - Mk8 because it was all one piece and on the fender. Seeing big GTI letters on the door just looks weird.

I did turn off the whole proximity entry thing. I forget what they call it but when the car automatically locks and unlocks for you when you walk up to it. Prefer using the handle to unlock and pressing the sensor on the door. I hate the lock and UNLOCK but lock while walking away is super neat. Th...

I had no idea they had different awd systems based on trim until the :dillerman: service guy started talking about transfer case and rear diff fluid changes
They probably put that same diff into the corolla GR :yikes:
That would certain explain the overheating issues

It's not brake based on the limited Rage4 which is what we've got. The manual doesn't say what it does exactly but google tells me it dulls throttle input and cuts back on power. https://www.motortrend.com/features/toyota-all-wheel-drive-explained/ :themoreyouknow: that's a lot of clutches.

I was kind of surprised. I put it in snow mode and it did well. There's no hard button for diff lock but maybe that mode sends more power around instead of keeping it mainly fwd? :iono: It does have a torque vectoring rear diff though which was probably helpful. The tacoma and other "truck&quo...

I did the tire setting thing. Not sure if you can pick the tire size in other bmw's but I selected "winter" and picked the matching tire size for the rear axle so the car should know it has 275/35-19 all around. I did select 100mph+ since the conti's are rated for it. Seems weird that the...

They look to be the same size but it's obviously less of an issue because they're not changing gears. Here's pictures from a thread I found talking about the perfect travel mug because the cupholders suck. Notice the flat wireless charge pad in the back. https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/attachment...

A little surprising that the BRZ has a manual take rate at 79% while the GR86 is only 48% Might have to do with the fact you can order a BRZ from factory, GR86 you have to try and find one coming in. If you want a manual, it’s easier to order exactly what you want from Subaru. :themoreyouknow:
