    Seatbelt Scuffs

    I’ll take a picture. It’s on M-Sports seats. I believe there was thread about these scuffs and marks not long ago. It’s from the buckle rubbing the side leather at about shoulder level after it’s released.

    how are you guys valuing your cars

    When wifey is in the car, the value goes up by $10m. When I’m in the car, it goes down by $20m. Easy.

    From regular drive to manual— to sport then to sport plus mode questions

    I forget nuthin’ :rofl: Same argument. What kind of sport car enthusiast drives a N54 with DCT, pushes the onion button, but settles with an automatic gearbox? It’s poor engineering, and equally bad at understanding the market. I can appreciate a separate button to fix the gearbox to manual to...

    Seatbelt Scuffs

    The ole noggin reckons there was a similar thread not long ago. But ole noggins… Is there a good solution or fix for the scuffs already made? I’ve tried a layer of jewellery box velvet liner. Hmm. As butt jobs go, blimey, it’s awful. I’m all ears.

    Funny, I don’t remember ever pressing that button. My two maps are either stock or Sport+. What am I missing?

    Irrespective of driver vintage, it’s bloody daft. Whether you putz or push, only three maps are really needed: supermarket, adverse weather/surface, spirited. Everything else is poor engineering. (Never assign an engineer to do a mathematician’s job. :poke: )

    Yes, it’s DCT. It upshifts at the redline.

    I don’t own a 3.0i. I’m speaking without knowledge. On the 35is, the gearbox does upshift when it redlines, even in Sport+ and manual.

    You know, sharing the trim would help helpful idiots like me to help helpless folk like you. lol Assuming it’s 35is … in reverse: I could not tell the difference between the different AS maps. I found that for a M-badged car, the stock suspension was awful. So I first changed to H&R, which...

    Story Time About My Z4

    Cute top. And I don't the mean the car's. 😉 Once you get used to the paddle shifters, you'll never want to go back to manual. But you need to upgrade the mapping for proper quick downshifting. Stock is awful. Enjoy your new ride. :driving::thumbsup::thumbsup:

    Aftermarket Headlights for E89

    Alternative: If you can live without your car for a few weeks --like in the winter--, and can package your headlights properly, consider OSS Designs. The chaps name is Luis. He's in North Carolina, USA. Proper bloke. Look him up on Instagram and Facebook. He did a great job for me three years...
