I remember there's a similar case with the Buick Lacrosse which is the Allure there because apparently Lacrosse is Quebec slang for masturbate

Valid translation, but "La crosse" can also be translated to "the ripoff" in Quebec slang, which is even worse IMO .

I LOVE the elimination of the 3500 stationary rev limiter. I don’t plan on launching my car but it’s really nice to be able to rev it to 7K RPMs while sitting still and knowing that I can launch it well at 5000 rpm instead of the stock 3500 limit. I also added the feature where exhaust valves are fully open in Sport and sport+ modes. It’s very noticeable. I felt the stock PSE was the biggest waste of $3K ever. Could barely tell any difference in exhaust noise when switching from normal to sport. Now it’s very noticeable and in sport mode there is even a subtlety noticeable vibration throughout the car. Makes the car feel very sporty when in sport mode. Finally I also added cold start delete and that’s very handy too for not waking up neighbors when leaving early or driving late at night. Those M Engineering guys are super responsive. I emailed my stock calibration to them and they sent me a tune in about an hour. I asked to tweak some parameters and they sent me an updated tune in 20 minutes. So far, there have been no downsides. No codes thrown, no check engine lights, no slippage of the clutch or any problems. I think people w/ PDKs have complained about clutch slippage but there’s a PDK tune for that too (for an additional $1495 though). |

A few follow ups: 1. Re exhaust, I have the Akra and expect it to get loud when I do the Sport exhaust option, but does it drone or just gives it more good volume? 2. When you say you asked them to update parameters, what were those? Or is that the configurable options you mentioned? 3. Assume launching and low speed is not changed much but mid-speed (30-100, 60-130) is what is impacted right? That's what needs the most IMO. 4. Only heard of clutch slippage for guys who went e85 or some bigger turbo setup, but I may be misremembering so thanks for flagging and I'll watch out for it.

Blew out my front lip again last night. Road had a “cut” in it for some reason, likely some road work they hadn’t completed and left no signs. The cut was just wide enough to dip the front wheels and bang, half of the carbon lip shattered haha. Made it almost a year so can’t complain too much! Ordered a plastic M performance one, done with carbon and will go OEM. My 20” Klassen MS03s are showing up tomorrow and also looking into Brembo BBKs as the car has nearly 60k miles so could use a refresh. There’s still nothing short of $200k new I’m interested in so might as well dump some more money into the F80!
Used a magic marker for now to camo the damage. |

The CS lip on my F80 M3 CS was just too much stress.

All part of the low life and expected! I’m actually ecstatic I got nearly a year out of it. Just a very unusual cut in the road with no barriers or construction signs.

I love the CS Lip, it was exactly why I had it on my M3.
It is solid but a bit scary at the same time because whenever you scrape or even slightly touch it by parking, it feels like you are hitting your bumper. Which you are technically since it is bolted to your car's steel frame. It takes a lot to destroy the OEM CS lip.

Smart move! After blowing out my Arkym CF front lip on my '11.5 E92 M3, I vowed never to buy a CF front lip again. A thousand dollars down the drain. |

This conversation is exactly why I tell people that I personally consider lips to be a consumable item
