Yes! Mine does that as well. Its a little quirky when its in stream mode and you change channels.

You have to go into iDrive and check the box for remote start. You'd think software engineers could figure out how to keep previous settings when writing an update, but all my software friends are missing a bit of common sense.

We just think too much like computers, which is often a handicap when it comes to user experience.

It probably wasn't explicitly called out in the requirements. So many examples of this at work when asking the developers why something is the way it is and this is the response: "oh, that really obvious thing that should been set to the really obvious way? Yeah, you didn't ask for that in the requirements."

I tested my “M Drivers Package” out yesterday. All I can say is that I do not have a 155mph limiter…

You could not have posted this at a worse time. I've been obsessing over the idea of a set of FI-R Evos recently for my G87 as the "forever" wheels. I really like this look.

In case anyone is wondering, this box is in the climate controls of all places, took me a minute.

Terrible night picture here. I'm digging the green now that the carbon mirrors are on. I'll try to get some better pics next time I take it out. Hopefully the snow holds off for a bit!

Which company wrap did you go with? Mind sending some up close door jam photos? Thinking about wrapping mine for summer on top of the PPF.

Full wash/detail using the Xpel ceramic update spray on the film and paint. Doing well after a few days of winter driving of late. Wet roads but cold. Good machine for winter within reason of course.

Impressed with the paint work so far, and the results of the detailing. This one has a nice neighbor when parked. The Mclaren 720S next door lol

It's "Gloss Grass Green" from CheetahWrap - https://cheetahwrap.com/products/60-gloss-grass-green

Coming from ZB the door jams look a bit wonky, but I'm probably one of the very few who will actually get to see it. Would def look better in black though!

Unrelated to your original request but I got the Alpha N fenders wrapped as well. Just waiting on my paint guy to finish clear coating the exposed carbon pieces before I can get them installed.

I love this option.

Yeah, I agree. I was just messing around and wanted to get it super close to the edge of the cliff, hence parking on the burm like that.

Just got her back from EAS.

-KW HAS
-Macht Schnell spacers
-AA EL midpipe
-EVO crossover pipe
-Awron CANflap
-Millway front monoball conversion
-BMC air filters

-Mishimoto skid plate (on order not installed)

Impressions:

-Sounds like a demon with the valves all the way open thanks to the Awron complementing the mid pipe well. Still thinking about an axelback, OEM for now.

-Handles like a go-kart with the monoballs, put a giant smile on my face.

-Feels very stiff and low, yet OEM-like. Suprised at how comfortable the KW is (I was expecting a harsher ride). I’m fully lowered on it.

-Accelerates much better. Might be placebo from all the excitement, but man oh man she feels punchy as all hell. It just feels like the car breathes much better with the mid, crossover, and new filters.

Overall insanely happy with the outcome and EAS (Tom) did a fantastic job helping me put this all together and giving me pointers along the way.

Awesome build so far. Try her out with engine in sport + and trans in d3 with the mid and open flaps.... she's a mean one.

Thanks! I have a 6MT but the downshifts sound like I have a turret in the back LOL. I’m loving the mods. Almost think adding an aftermarket axelback might be over the top loud.
