Mint is such a cool color. I remember when I first saw that color in person at BMW of Riverside. I could see hot mod potential written all over that color. Sorry to hear about the windstorm. They are brutal. |

Tore the rear apart in about 20 minutes in order to get the base ready for the AeroKit. The wing has been painted by one of Porsche’s certified repair/paint centers (….Caliber Collision, the shop that also painted my AeroKit front lip) and is ready for pick up. I won’t be back in California until Wednesday morning though, so I won’t be able to finish this project until Sunday.
I sold my OEM non-AeroKit car cover on RennList and simultaneously purchased a brand new OEM AeroKit car cover on RennList. Last edited by Sedan_Clan; 04-15-2024 at 09:53 PM.. |

I literally had no complaints about my old G01 M40i LCI apart from the sound system as you said, but also the seats. Feels OK in the beginning, but once you sit in a G05, you get spoiled. Strange, I had a B58 and S55 (in an M2C and M4 GTS) and I certainly didn't think it had mega lag. I think the B58 is truly one of the best DD engines out there.

Thanks brotha! This has turned into one hell of a project. If you had asked me in April of 2022 if I planned to mod, the answer would’ve been a resounding “No”. I have since dove in head first with an anvil in my hands.
Agreed! I didn’t think the S55 was laggy at all. It was a very responsive motor. |

Heard the Z06 in person by chance today on my jog. Sounds good on the outside, stock too from what I can tell.
Edit: Oh and the S55 vs B58 thing. S55 definitely had turbo lag but most don't really notice it because the turbo lag gets hidden by the amount of torque the S55 gives out extremely early on. By the time the turbo lag comes, you wouldn't notice it nearly as much. B58, in the times I have driven it, the torque comes on later and much more controlled. That exaggerates the turbo lag for some of us if we have had experience with the N55/S55. S55 is a torque monster, that engine is known for it. I mean, the torque came on so early in the first few years that BMW released a few firmware versions to pull that back. By the time your butt dyno gotten over the torque pulling you around, the engine would have gotten past the turbo lag. Duno if that was intended by BMW M engineers or it just happened to come out that way.

Interesting concept of electric car simulating ice in all performance feedback categories including noise, transmission jolt and gear shifting. All the criticisms electric fans were using to criticize ice. They are now mimicking it . Faking the driver senses is the new norm

That actually looks really cool. Traditional ICE cars are tuned all the time for sound, feel, feedback etc. Looks like they are applying the same principles here.

i think once they can give you different fake powertrain options it may convert alot of people
you can set the powertrain and sound to '2jz' one day and '458 italia' the next. the redline, sound, torque curve, and gear ratios would all match up. its basically like driving gran turismo with a sim rig.

Honestly, the concept of being able to play around with different feels and sounds like you're playing Gran Turismo is super cool and unironically makes me excited to see what's coming. Of course it's not the same as how cars are and will never match that feel, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun in its own way.

A friend of mine is picking one up tonight. I'll be driving it next weekend, very much looking forward to it based on reviews. I'll let you guys know whether it lives up to the hype.

On a side note, one big roadblock for me to adopt EV's for now is that New Jersey is oddly a pretty unfriendly state with EV's on the track (Raceway park claims it's a NJ State Police thing, NJMP has a bunch of other concerns brought up amongst that) which for me is a buzzkill for the time being. So much for a state that's behind the 2035 initiative |

The normal way ships deal with fires won't work if they don't catch it as it is starting to happen. Once one EV catches on fire, it gets hot very fast and would push other EVs to catch on fire and that would snowball. Lithium is a dangerous substance that requires enough cooling to compensate.
