Hi @DaytonOH CT 5 BW. It is a social opportunity to meet people with a shared interest and likely make some new friends. This particular event is at a dealer that will have some food and vendors. I'm the chapter director of the Columbus chapter and it has been an opportunity to meet people...

Met a new local BW owner for coffee making at least a fourth (@Dirkbg and @LF4472 and myself) in the central Ohio area. And found a new M3 in the lot on the weekend grocery run. Manual trans and a car seat, so the M owner's heart is in the right place even if the checkbook went in the wrong...

Yes @Dirkbg , I imagine for another month or so. Lot of upsides and only a few minor negatives with the high performance all seasons at least for cold month street use. I remember you asking about that in another thread recently, maybe we can catch up in person sometime soon and talk about...

No race track/San Diego background (cough, Ohio) but the sunlight says spring!

Definitely not just you. Happens occasionally in my car too, rev match off. There's so much happening in the ecu between our foot and the throttle. I wonder if it is some anti-stall logic that isn't applied right? It happens for me most often after a fairly quick partial clutch release but...

I've attached my video from the same lap posted by @TK42ONE, I'm the car in front in his video and in front of me is the instructor Josh. We ran about the same time on that lap (Ok, I was .6 seconds slower grr) but with me in a CT4 and @TK42ONE in a CT5. It gives some sense of the differences...

Wonderful writeup @TK42ONE, and great to meet you and @rdollie last week. Glad I could give you a draft on your fast lap! Driving felt so much faster in the car than it looked on the video. I'll try to upload my video of that same lap so people can see the difference between CT4/CT5. I think...

According to the car (trip b hasn't been reset for a while) mileage is a robust 7 mpg! Tires yesterday only warmed up to about 32 psi. Maybe I wasn't trying hard enough... I'll ask @TK42ONE today about the CT5 mpg.

Live today from Spring Mountain - the orange #42 CT4 BW manual. Average lifetime rpm 3188.4.

This is fun, my CT4 manual numbers follow. I'm at Spring Mountain next week(!) and will check whatever car I use. Driving hours: 106.7-28.9= 77.8 Driving minutes: 4668 Total Revs: 976000 Average RPM: 2090.831 Despite a few "0" drives recently according to Smart Driver, that average doesn't...

Very interesting @WONT TAP ! How do you get the stock ECU to ignore the torque map? Looking at the chart there is more boost. Also, any change to the noise inside the cabin?

Underground garages are scary places, especially with carbon hanging off the front, but today we found a safe spot.

Shiny new wheels - winter set went on the car today. I found the base wheel much better looking in person than in pictures. The graphite set that came off is just graphite all the time.

I'll be there! Thanks in advance for hosting! Same city, time to finally visit.

@Jameson's Viggen, after reading this thread I checked my also-orange 4 BW and have the same issue although not as severe. You can see the thin/no paint on the hood line towards the corner in this picture, it's the same on the other side. It's nearly invisible without opening the hood so I'm...

I also had that fluid/grease smell with the first few times hard in boost after pretty much avoiding boost for the first 500 miles. The smell disappeared completely after some more break-in. Hopefully you'll have the same experience.

@Rob please add my order BMNJWP to the order tracker and thank you for your work on this website.
