2016 981 Spyder here, I had a 2005 Boxster S for 15 years. Modded with lightweight flywheel, short shifter, exhaust, Bilsteins, ECU. It was like a go cart.

FWIW - My wife has a 2024 MB GLS580 and I have the Rivian R1S 2024 Quad Motor, the R1S is significantly faster than the Mercedes and we end up taking the R1S pretty much everywhere. Torgue doesn't get old, makes it great for road trips and passing.

Lol GLS would not keep up and that instant torque will not get old (I'm bias though). Also music drowned out your thoughts at the end - good review!

I tried it! very good for the average driver, but cornering with 7000 lbs is totally unsafe. hopefully we'll have a lighter version in the future, less than 5500 lbs would be ideal. It's so heavy it isn't legal to drive in Europe unless you have a "trucker" license.

It's a car meant to be driven by anyone. And even better is the station wagon version, it packs a lot of luggage and adds only a little more weight. Greetings from someone in Germany who grew up a couple of km where the gear box is made 🙂

As an owner of 4 (2 sunroof-2 convertibles) of these, I will put in my two cents. I'm the one in Chesterfield, VA if you remember. Anyway, the airbag battery squib disconnects the battery if there is an accident. Some people choose to jump the yellow connection and not change the entire cable, I did it with the exhaust in place. I have done it both ways. (I had a parts car) Supercharger service is not too bad, just replace the water pump at the same time and a few o-rings that leak. When you do the headliner, check the rubber hose between the sunroof and "A" Pillar. sometimes the are not connected. While it's out, check to ensure the drain is clear all the way, water should run out right behind the front tires. So much to say, but that's the first round. KZbin: Jimmy's 1st Gen. MINI Rescue

Just a suggestion. Lift the back seat, take a small hammer (or anything) and tap on the top of the fuel pump cover. Try to start the car after that. If it starts, replace your fuel pump. When they're older and sit for a while, months, sometimes the need a little boost.

I have tried that. I'm seeing no spark as well. I think it's an issue with the ews. But can't confirm since odb2 port isn't working right. I'm trying to figure out which pin in the ecu sends power to the odb2 port

@@dontbekurt Sorry that didn't help. It could be a long diagnosis not being there in person. Might also check power to the coil connection as well. Some people route it too close to the exhaust. I noticed the Virginia plate, I'm in Chesterfield, VA with our 4 MINIs.

@marcuspiercr6392 9 ай бұрын
No it does not cost more. Do you understand that is literally a headlight and maybe like a $200 purchase. That is what you call insurance fraud. Somebody wanted a different car but they didn't want to deal with the loss of value that comes with taking a car off a lot😂 this is not normal. Don't act like this is something that everybody does and that happens to everybody Just because it's a BMW😂 this car is literally flawless. That is not even debatable. The car is perfect. This is far from totaled. To say the least, if people were listening to the rules, this car would be considered pristine basically
