If you are not going to do any performance driving why bother with the ztk, bigger brakes extra cooler wont make any noticeable difference other than looks

Because I like the wheels, fender garnish, and larger breaks — just cosmetic stuff for me.

Not so...keeping things cool (temps) maximizes performance in general and wheel package helps with handling even on the street. Bigger breaks doesn't necessarily help stopping power directly but benefits with reduced heat as it spreads out the pressure. This leads to less brake fade and better overall brake performance.

The stock cooling is fine for street use.

Not going to argue this, I will take the added cooling all day long.

Maybe you’re in somewhere that can use that cooling. I’d be going to jail if I can utilize that much cooling performance on the street

I am in South Florida. This turbo runs hot so added cooling always benefits (its physics, temp-pressure relationship). When we get in the 50s here, the car has a noticeable performance increase due to the cooler temps running through the motor.

If you do a lot of short trips in the car the oil cooler can be a problem if your oil never gets to full temp. Also 300 wear tires are never great track tires, forged wheels are also alot nicer for track use. You sell that chinese exhaust yet lol.

Dont know what you are talking about but I do know you are full of hot air and bs and one that loves to think you know everything. Yes, a troll.

Oh, and what Chinese exhaust?

Your valvetronic is produced in china, and remember you said you would never put a Chinese made exhaust on your m2. Kind of trolled yourself honestly. Nothing I said was BS 300 wear tires are street tires, cast wheels bend and break to easy nm they are heavy.

I agree with this. I didn’t want the parking package myself, but it came on the build that I got. I can park my own car lol. And I still won’t likely ever use that.
But the 360 cameras are very useful. One of the other uses besides the 360 dash cam is the remote view you can get of your car’s surroundings when parked. From the app you can have it take a series of pics and it pieces them together into a composite VR image you can rotate around. Attached a pic of where I parked at work. Note how I parked on a floor where hardly anyone does lol

Sorry but that has to be one of the 5hitest VR pictures ever.

If you were hoping to play a video game it is. But if you’re interested in seeing what’s going on around your car when you’re not there, it can be useful.

Useful for what?

If something is happening around your car when you’re not there, what are you going to do? Answer, nothing quick enough to stop it happening.

Plenty better quality dash cams with parking mode to record something if it does happen.
Definitely not a value add option.

Would def be nice if you could read license plates atleast.

I can bend down; it's the getting up part that has become difficult

Came in handy for me when my car was being PPF'd. I knew that the car was inside every night.

@M_Power Rob: "PS4Ss are better than you think for weekend fun at the track. For DOT compliant track tires, Cup 2 are really not that great of a tire (or at least not at the top of the list), there are better options available for track tires in the same or at a lower price point."

I totally agree with you on this.

@Pentland: "This. ^^^

And I’d (well I did) get another set of wheels with winter tyres on and swap them around when temperature consistently drops below 7c.

Dedicated tyres rather than a jack of all trades."

I decided to use my OEM ZTK wheels for my winter tires (Michelin X-Ice), since these are cast wheels, therefore heavier. I then ordered forged VS5RS wheels from Apex. Once I get them I'll mount the summer Michelins on these.

$700 to know your car is inside when it’s getting a job done that needs it to be inside. Seems legit. Take my money.

I don’t need it. Thanks. I have plenty of my own.

What size did you get for the vs5rs wheels? I might get them for my summers. Right now I have factory ztk wheel with Michelin alpin pa4 on them
