Simply because it had a better camera. I’d prefer to have an iPhone for other reasons/features that matter to me but ultimately camera is too important.

Could lead to problems for you. I like to enjoy my cars too and I push them hard but I’m not going to accelerate wear on them in the name of saving a few bucks of gas.

Your bearings mind.

Please don’t use auto start/stop. Your bearings will thank you.

I daily a “stage 2” M240i. It’s a riot and the perfect daily. It’s quick but certainly not “too fast”.

People who say the brand doesn’t matter have simply never looked at how their cars are reacting to different brands. Shell absolutely is one of the best if not the best.

Try filling with Shell 93 then try something like Gulf 93 and watch all those timing corrections kick in.

Shift them yourself.

Sport+ and manual shifting nearly 100% of the time. I can’t stand not being in control. This is my first auto in over 10 years so it’s something deep within me.

Only time I’m in Auto is in stop and go traffic or cruising on the highway. So almost never because it’s very hard to cruise on the highway with all the idiots on the road lol

I’d swap the caps out for a full assembly and get some smoked sequentials while you’re in there. Otherwise, lookin pretty good
