kronix posted:The owners seem to love them and they look absolutely great on the road. They're a staple in the B58 groups on Facebook and a lot of the folks who mod BMWs are "upgrading" from M240s to Supras because the chassis is better and it's a more powerful engine from the start. They're starting to be a staple on drag strips too. There's likely going to be a manual version and potentially even one with an S code engine. Toyota seems to be trickling out changes to keep interest up over the models lifetime so anything is possible. Manual? Hello

That car doesn't need a manual. I can barely keep up with it on paddles. EDIT: I wouldn't enjoy it as much with a manual. Farking Bastage fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Feb 27, 2022 |

The six-speed in the Z4M was  Looking around, it looks like it was a similar gearbox to the non-M and the e89 versions, but I don't know how similar. Slightly different model identifiers. Wikipedia lists a 6-speed manual for the G29 version.And yeah I know modern DCT's or PDK's or even regular automatics are better and faster than a human these days, but it's still fun to drive one.

GentlemanofLeisure posted:The six-speed in the Z4M was Well, sort of. " A 6-speed manual transmission was made available for only the sDrive 20i from July 2019.[4]" But they don't make any 20i versions anymore, so you can't get a new one that way. Other than that blip, there hasn't been a manual Z4 option since like 2010 or something. Pretty sure it's all regular auto.

In retrospect given what’s happened to fuel prices over the years I’m actually glad I wasn’t able to get an M140i back in 2018 when I was changing out of my 118i. Prices around my area are now the equivalent of $7.84 per US gallon for E10 and $8.74 for E5.

MrLogan posted:But you repeat yourself! In many ways I'm better than the average BMW driver in Boston, I don't tailgate, I use turn signals religiously and I slow down for cyclists and pedestrians. However, If you give me any amount of open road I'm going straight to speed limit + 15 as fast as possible with the exhaust in it's loudest setting. I'm relatively sure my 11 PM drives down a certain 4 line divided road with a very large center median in the southwest part of the city has me marked for death by certain residents although i haven't seen the complaints come up on Nextdoor (yet).

These days I basically just do to and from daycare with the occasional errand. Consistently getting 19mpg with an N55 and stick. It does have the m performance tune, but that's not terribly aggressive.

It’s probably going to be the same 6 speed that goes into the base M3 and is going to find itself in the new M2. If they announce a 450 horsepower M2C with a 6 speed there’s a good chance that’s a long term purchase for me.

I think an ND2 with track mods would be fun but every time I drive the Exige I can't imagine owning anything else. You don't have PMs so posting this here instead. 2006 Exige with a bad engine along with a totalled 2013 Evora to pull the engine from for $25k but it's been up for several months.

Some driving experience notes on the Supra. Hopefully going a little Clarkson isn't a bannable offense. When you hit the fun button, (Sport mode:opens flaps, tons of chassis changes, hotter tune, etc) that car is a rolling  It downshifts and rev matches and pops and bangs even when you're just cruising around with it still in auto. In manual mode it's even less subtle. That coupled with partially disabling the the VDC(Traction mode), makes the Supra a damned handful to keep the reins on. It will let you come to the precipice of becoming viral on TikTok but intervene quicker than human reaction time. I learned that lesson today taking a left into a Publix from a divided 4-lane. One of the oncoming cars was coming in a lot quicker than I thought so I gave it a healthy 1/2 throttle whack and it instantly rotated about 15 degrees mid turn. By the time I was counter steering, the computer had already corrected the car. The amount of bullshit the Supra allows you to get away with is unbelievable, but it will still intervene at a certain threshold. There is a mode beyond this and it will warn you profusely if you enable it. I don't think I am a good enough driver to play with that mode on a public road. YMMV. The relative amount of effort it takes that car to get tail happy is just as surprising as how fast you really are going compared to how fast you think you're going. One angsty pass of a boomer's Trump sticker covered Crown Vic going about 40 in a 55 had me blinking in disbelief that I was traveling at 120 MPH. I think that does it folks  That car is faster than me.

But yes, I am about 15 years off from realistically having time for a project like that. Not depressing at all! Farking Bastage posted:Some driving experience notes on the Supra.

This sounds a lot like my experience with the Alfa where people that don’t drive a ton of different cars (unlike journalists) are completely blown away by modern performance cars.

Anyone know what motor is in the 2016 328i? Wikipedia says the '12 - '15s have the N20 but it makes no mention of the years after that  Maybe it was ITT, maybe it was a Facebook group but I think someone told me it has the B48 but I can't recall for sure...Got my FoRS back from the mechanic yesterday... and traction control has unexpectedly come on multiple times while taking some mild corners at very reasonable speeds  And while CarMax made me a really good offer ~a week ago, when I try to get it appraised again they're telling me to bring it in in person.
