I did some searching on eBay. There are some with an 8-core Qualcomm CPU, 8G of RAM, and 128G of storage which are decently beefy specs. They most likely won't lag or have performance issues. I may have to try it and take it to the Audio Shop on Lamar in Austin lol. Even better, you could have...

I'm in the Killeen area although I rarely take my Blackwing to Austin (3-4 times a year). I didn't notice any excessive noise. It's not as quiet as my '23 Audi A4, but I also have 305 Continental ECS 02's on the rear. There is some good sound deadening in the car, the wheel wells are carpeted...

I'm waiting a bit for EVs to get better in terms of charging infrastructure. My small city of 160k just got 10 Tesla Superchargers at our local shopping center. I currently have a '23 Audi A4 as a daily and I frequently travel out of town 2-3 times a month so gas made more sense... for now. Glad...

This thread was a good laugh. Where in Central Texas are you located Don?

I got mine with 5,6xx miles Jan. 2023. Has 8,6xx miles currently. So 2,700-2,800 miles/year. I have one rattle coming from the rear that I haven't dug into yet. I solved just about all the other ones. I got in my friend's F90 M5 Comp with 40k miles and it had some rattles. You can't win with...

Agreed. My tuned BMW's with 600+ crankhp used stock plugs at stock gap and lasted a long time. Stock coils never needed to be changed. The ignition system on these Blackwings is absolutely piss poor. That's the one thing the Germans do in fact do better.

Yeah the rear is easily the worst looking part of the car. Not a fan of the envelope trunk shape. Lot of blank space without any lines to help break it up. Agreed the CF spoiler helps tremendously. The stock black spoiler just doesn't do it for some reason.

I still have an annoying plastic rattle by my left ear. Thought it was the B pillar, stuffed a bunch of foam, but that wasn't it. Sprayed silicone lubricant all along the door seals. Nada. Next thing I'll look at is the black plastic in the seat. It does make a lot of creaking noises when...

So who's lying? David Leone or Mirza? One says a V8 would fit, one says it wouldn't.

Id Your first point is valid, as the chief engineer did mention weight and weight distribution, but the interview posted with him said that a V8 would fit. There's no way a Camaro and ATS that share a platform wouldn't be able to fit the same motors. I don't believe that for 1 second. The 2...

No skip shift feature. Either you have a 2nd gear synchro issue or you need to hit the gym and muscle it in there. Would have a dealer check it out.

Hardware isn't present + what happens if traffic slows down enough to where you're bogging the engine in 6th gear and it requires a downshift to prevent damage. You'd be surprised at how many idiots are out there.

I'd definitely be interested. This would alleviate the one major complaint, the small screen in a luxury car of this caliber.

Anything you did to remedy it? I've taken the B-pillar apart several times to no avail. The one time I did stop the rattling, the seat belt couldn't retract. I can't win lol.

Anyone else have a rattle coming from the B-pillar area or left driver side area? I hear it right my left ear and it's constant and annoying. I've unscrewed the top bolt in the B pillar and put a bunch of foam everywhere inside and still hear it. Sounds like plastic rattling really fast. Not a...

Yes and no. An engine tune won't have anything to do with a failed window regulator. But if there's a drivetrain or powertrain failure, expect that to be not covered. Pay to play.

Thanks for the quick reply. Really appreciate it since I know this thread is old AF. Good to hear she's running great! Enjoy your Blackwing :D

Hi, I have oil dripping from the same exact location. Gonna take it to the dealer in the next few weeks, what did they do to fix it?

A lot of OEMs bake this into the stock ecu. My BMW did this. Hyundai N cars do this. They've been doing this for awhile too. Nothing new.

Yup. My stock B58 with a high flow downpipe and intake dyno'd at 338hp / 365lb-ft (avg of 2 dyno runs), no tune. BMW rated it at 320hp / 330lb-ft. And mine was AWD with a manual.
