Yep! Objectively, it's a plus, and the car actually weighs very little considering the occupancy room it provides, so one could argue there's really no penalty for it. I just love small cars -- the way the cabin feels (for the driver), and the way short wheel bases rotate. ?‍♂️

I really wish this platform wasn't so large. I appreciate that they kept the weight down and that, as a result, it doesn't feel like a big car when driving it, but the long wheel base does make it less playful at lower speeds, and when you see it parked next to a GTI, etc., it just looks huge.

I rode in the back of one of these cars recently, and there was a lot of road noise and echo / resonance. It was substantially worse than when sitting up front; it drowned out a lot of the audio system, and it made following conversation upfront taxing. I have to imagine that the interior...

The inability to adjust tire pressure re: TPMS is a huge miss, especially considering the likelihood of people changing wheels / tires with this car.

This is defensible! Motherboard audio is generally pretty lousy, even on high-end boards... Lots of crosstalk, and the amps generally struggle with low impedance drivers.

I don't believe it displays an icon when it engages.

Get a real tuner and send logs. You have invested too much $ in the platform and in modifications to justify saving by using an off the shelf tune. Additionally, considering the extent of the modifications (esp. flexfuel), in my opinion, you shouldn't be expecting a polished experience without...

Appears I got lucky. I had to add a little foam to a plug under the dash (and the seatbelts rattle), but that's it.

The spacer raises the throttle pedal, but it also moves it left and/or down, depending on which position you use. It's more accurately a pedal "relocater" than a pedal "spacer", as it does more than serve as a spacer (in fact, there is no option to use it strictly as a spacer -- it requires that...

Acuity makes a pedal spacer, and I believe there might be a couple other options, too.

What did you pick up for an adapter? The Dongar mirror tap?

Let us know... considering one of these myself. I can't decide on matte or gloss (and most here seem to have gone matte), so I'd appreciate feedback / photos, assuming you get a good one.

The significant change in mileage per pad (20k > 10k > 7k) on the OEMs suggests something has changed. Is the EPB calibration accurate?

When I was doing the math (18+ months ago), the ITS was 52k and the M3 started at 77k (and wasn't realistically available in that spec... much like the M2 "started at" 63k but couldn't be found in a base configuration anywhere). More or less +50% at minimum for the M3 and realistically close to...

I will also add that, while I originally hated it, the appearance of the new M3 has grown on me. I actually think it looks pretty good in person, and in my opinion, it's the best looking car in their lineup.

Best of luck! Unfortunately, seems you got pretty unlucky with your ITS... I've got a rattle under the dash (needs some foam applied between one of the cable plugs and the socket), but that's about it -- no paint / dent, etc. issues like you found (and this is winter / cold cycle number 2 for...

Would be cool if they do a PMC x HRC edition... limited colors, full HRC kit, assembled by PMC. ?‍♂️?‍♂️

You can take it to the track stock (although pads / fluids are recommended). The bulk of the cost for these parts is going to be sunk on CF tax, not necessarily strict functionality. Chances are -- based on what we've heard so far -- your $ is best spent on the coils, oil coolers, intercooler...

Did the 10.5 wheel / tire combo give you any issues, or did you just want more sidewall? I was considering that setup, so I'm curious what your feedback is.

L Are you still running the 10.5 et 45?
