I learned that this thread should have a first post that accumulates all the nuggets of info so you don't have to read 2500 posts and see them repeated over and over
Also, BMW Genius doesn't seem to know production status codes.

I believe this is correct....I think you can get some CF accessories in 1x1 weave from some suppliers though.

That M cars do not hold their value. Totally shocked... my dealer said that Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys hold better value nowadays. The reason is that BMW, Mercedes and Audi in order to outsell each other offering all sorts of incentives/discounts to sell cars have led to cars being devalued. My M4 which had an MSRP of $78K when I got it in 2015 is now valued at around $40-45K.

Buy a house, don't buy a car. The value of the car drops at the minute you sign the paperwork. Of course, if you keep it for 10 - 15 years, your lost will not be as big as you sell in 3 - 5 years.

You should do autopay through your bank so you won't have to keep rediscovering that.

this may be a little off base. but how can you see a DCT rev matches. Dont all automatic transmissions rev match. If there is no clutch then obviously you just picking the gear and the car does the rest. for example doesn't an e90 325i rev match when I downshift a gear using tiptronic?

Planetary transmission also have multiple clutch packs to lock the various planetary components to achieve the desired gear ratios. So it is also possible to downshift without having to rev match through engine blipping even if the torque converter is locked up. Again here, the engine revs are increased by progressively slipping the clutch pack being engaged. That is actually what happens most of the time during regular driving since it is more fuel efficient and smoother that way. To be able to execute a rev-matched downshift through engine blipping, the engine actually needs to be momentarily disconnected from the drivewheels. There is physically no way around this. Think of it, if the engine were blipped while it is connected to the drive wheels, it would create an acceleration surge. On a DCT, both clutches are dissengaged when the engine is blipped. On a planetary auto there also needs to be a brief moment for which the engine is disconnected from the drive wheels while the engine is blipped. The benefit of this is a much quicker downshift without jerking the chassis. But it is not as smooth as a slow non-rev-matched downshift. The video below is a good depiction of how a planetary auto works. It also depicts quite well how much more rotating mass planetary AT have compared to MT or DCT (re our other discussions).
