I've only got about 2200 on mine, but fortunately, it's squeak free My son does a lot of noise complaints on Jeeps (go figure) and spends a lot of time with the little felt pads after using both his ears and an electronic device listening for squeaks For weatherstrip type squeaks, I've used...

I too would go with the Schroth harness.

oof, I helped push an E46 M3 through the pits at last track day. Guy had never heard the term Money Shift...

nothing like bent suspension components to make the car feel "off"

my last 5 cars have had the gas tank on the passenger side. It's second nature to pull in and fill on the right side, it's almost a requirement

Mustangs load up the rear end, then you let off the gas, you get the whiplash reaction of the rear end coming around. A buddy replaced all the rear end bushings with much stiffer product and got rid of that issue. Now he just needs to learn to shift properly

Check out the Jacking Your BlackWing thread also to be sure you're ready

Any drips or drops in the driveway prior to the oil change? I'm paranoid, so i'm always looking especially since I do my own changes

I've seen at least one EV at a track day at Laguna Seca, thing was quick, guy couldn't drive well though

I got a ding at work (previous car). Parked in a space almost scraping my rims against the curb and some bozo parks their giant SUV right next to me and dinged my car. Good 1/8" deep and paint removal. Thank god for PDR and touch up paint along with a good orbital

Dang, and here's why I hate Tall Steve. He's handsome as the day is long, great cars, and a beautiful wife. Put funny hat on me and I'm a freaking garden gnome

PDR video you can post to show what the car was doing?

In California, in my limited experience, cars less than 4 years old but sold as used only have a smog fee applied to them. The laws here crack me up. I pay some minimal fee to get out of any testing for 8 years. In that time, I could be running full catless and whatever else is bad, but never...

I like cars. I typically only have them from 2-6 years with some of them being new, some used (2 out of 3 BMWs). I've had 10 cars in the last 30 years. I've done a lot of commuting with anywhere from 25 to 110 miles a day. None of my cars have actually been problematic. I just get tired of...

None of my BMWs required more than basic maintenance in the combined 60k miles that I put on the two cars. One thing the BMWs had on my 4BW, i was able to put them on the quick jacks and lift them without an 18+ page thread

Probably a dealership thing. Lots of money to be made off people that don't understand what they're getting. Honda tried to sell me something similar on my wife's Passport. I can do better with what I have in the garage and I enjoy doing that kind of thing on my cars.

While not quite octegenarian (gimme 20 years), I'm agreed. Also, this guy gets continual track time, I get it a couple times a year unless there's a pandemic, then i get it less.

I've seen it written that if you run your car in rain mode then you'll get mediocre performance and reasonable gas mileage

he was running 1:44 which is faster than me by about 12 seconds and just slightly faster than another 4 Blackwing that was running about 1:52. I'm guessing he's a better driver than I. I haven't found many 4BWs that ran Laguna on a track day. I only have 2 20 minute sessions on Laguna Seca...

Agreed, if I had bought an M340i x-drive with non-square 195s (like the M440i that I had) I would probably still be posting on the M-Lite boards. And yes, that Dakota Leather is definitely not worth the the extra charge
