New M4 owner, anyone know the car?

tkokay · 04-26-2022, 11:20 AM

Hello all,
Just purchased a '16 Comp/6speed Black/Black car locally. Hoping I can connect with the previous owner and just ask some quality of life questions about it.
Carfax shows it was registered in MA for the past 3+ years. Before that it was in MD and originally started in NH. Has 35k miles on it. Dealer I got it from said they scooped it from an auction. Car has some carbon lip pieces on it.
Reply in this thread for now as I still have locked PMs.
Thanks,
-TK

Did you pick that up in Westboro? Welcome neighbor.

Do you notice anything else besides the CF bits? Turn on your Sport Display and tell us what the HP/TQ limits are.

tkokay · 04-28-2022, 11:36 AM

Yes it was in Westboro. sports display is at 480/480. Nothing else that I notice. Really my only question for the PO if I find them is if anything was done with the crank hub yet.

Kilabyte · 04-28-2022, 11:48 AM

Well the 480 480 means it's on stock tune, so I'd assume nothing was touched crankhub wise.

I was going off that anyways. Unless I found concrete evidence from them. I got 5 year powertrain on it so I'm not overly concerned at this point. Going to stay at stock power for the foreseeable future. Just going to enjoy the car as is for this summer.
Definitely open to some quality of life mods to make it enjoyable. Might look into the upgraded system to allow for carplay.

that's a slippery slope lol. once you do one, there's no stopping it

Aint that the truth. Doing a little more poking around. The car definitely had PPF/clear bra on the front end at some point. Also looks like it may have had tint as well. Found a tiny bit of residue in a couple spots on small side windows.

I spy clear sidemarkers. PPF sounds good though, means the PO at least cared a bit about the car.

Good call, cars off to get detail and full ceramic done next week. See if he spots any other notable items or areas on the car.

Kilabyte · 05-02-2022, 10:11 PM

BTW, you mentioned carplay, that's easily done through coding, contact kubax86

tkokay · 05-03-2022, 10:42 AM

Thank you, i did stumble onto his thread. From what i gather i think i need a but more than just some button pushing cause its a 2016. Main problem now is waiting for my full permissions to unlock. I certainly have more than 4 replies now.

I haven't looked into it since I'm on Android but I know that he advertises it and asked me if I needed it. I had him fix my failed Thor flash fiasco and code my steering, EDC and diff correctly, that's why I recommend him

Download onto a USB drive and plug it into the car, pretty easy imo
