Yes, BMWs are high on maintenance. There was a recent study released… Over a 10-year period the average Toyota/Lexus is LESS than $6,000. The average BMW is OVER $17,000
Note: I owned an M2 competition until last month. I have a new M2 on order.
It depends. I’m in the fourth owner of my current car. I purchased it with 4,600 mi. The vehicle was originally leased, owner #1. Then, returned to the leasing company, owner #2. It was then sold at auction to a dealership group, owner #3. Then I bought it, owner #4. All in the space of about 30 months…
Michelin PS4s is the go-to tire. It’s going to work a bit better than your super sports. It is$$$$ however.
Previous recommendation of the Firehawk 500 is sound. It’s a very good tire, especially considering the price. Btw, The Firehawk 500 and General RS are exactly the same tire (same construction, same rubber compounds, different mould)—One of the Continentals is exactly this tire as well: same construction and 24/26 identical rubber compounds. ( It’s amazing what the guys at Tire Rack will tell you when you call with questions…)
As others have mentioned, your age and the make model of car have a significant impact on your insurance rate. That being said, shop around. Then, shop around some more. Different companies have different rates and different pools. You just never know which one you’re going to end up in. For example, years ago I switched from a Subaru STI to a Volkswagen GTI. My insurance rate nearly doubled. Then, I shopped around in my insurance was only about 70% of what it was on the Subaru. It just made no sense…
Second example, we bought my wife a Tesla for her 130 mi commute. Insurance rates on those are atrocious. Roughly $2,600 to $3,000 per year. Then, we found another major insurance company that was willing to ensure the same car for $1,200… Same coverage, major insurance company, we just had to find them by shopping around.
Fuyao supplies OEM glass to lots of manufacturers: GM, Ford, Bentley, Volkswagen, Toyota, BMW…
It’s just like the recommended oil certification. Oil companies have to pay to get that certification… It doesn’t matter if it’s BMW long life, Mercedes-Benz, dexos. If the company doesn’t pay they can’t advertise it on their bottle.
Seriously, why not a piggyback system?
The piggyback is going to be cheaper, give you more power, and is easily removable… Seems like a no-brainer.

I wouldn’t just report it, I would get the license plate and call 911. Say they’re trying to pull people over. That will get police there in a hurry!!!

Horsepower is derivative on engine speed. It won’t matter much.
It’s the compound on the brake pads that BMW uses. You can get other manufacturers product that aren’t as noisy. For example, hawk, akebono, eBC, project mu, pagid…
If the rear wheels are slipping going around the corner that’s called oversteer. That’s actually want you want to be fast on a racetrack. It helps the rear of the car rotate around so you can get it pointed in the straight direction and under full throttle sooner. Unfortunately, it can get away from you and you can wind up in the weeds.
