+1. Coming from an '08 Z06 my '13 650 doesn't even come close to the "holy jeebus I just poo'd my pants this thing is so fast" feeling. But I didn't expect it to. I bought because it is a beautifully...

No, no and hell no. IMO, it should be against the law for a dealership to wash a car. It took me 5+ applications of Zaino on my "showroom" Z06 to get all the swirls out. Fortunately, the F13 I bought...

Fantastic looking! Suppose I will be dropping some change on this myself now. Apologies if it was already asked (poked around but didn't see anything), but how it attached?

Good stuff. I'm still on the fence. May wait until spring and see what the Dinan tune puts down on the '13.

Well, I went straight to the horses mouth. Per the bmwusa site, the 2013 'real' coupe (2 door) does indeed get 445hp for 2013. Assuming about a 15% drivetrain loss, I'm guessing it's the graph from...

You know, I'm confused now. I know the Gran Coupe got the HP bump to 445 for the 2013 model year, but I keep hearing conflicting reports about the 2013/F13 "real" coupe (2 door - mine). I have no...

Nicely done.
I like the wheels too but they scare me. I had deep dish (very similar to those) on my Vette. In the rain, water would collect and the tire would get out of alignment until I stopped....

I dunno. Had it in Eco mode and cruise set on 74 for almost the entire way (straight shot down the interstate). Maybe I had a tailwind, but it hovered at 26.5 most of the way.

Agreed! I could remote start my Z06 via the OnStar app on my Droid. I reaaaaalllly miss that feature. An alarm with RS and an Android app is on my short list of mods.

Jeez-o-pete, that's bad. I averaged 27mpg highway in Comfort+ mode during a recent 400 miles trip and the car had 32 miles on it when I left. Use BP gas only (free since the company pays for it :D )

This seems to imply that it removes "without a trace". I dunno, the warranty is not much of an issue for me though as I drive 40-50K miles/year for business so it'll be up well before most...

N63 Stage 1 Beta

Think I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on this one. It's 'only' 4 bills and good for an upgrade to Stage 2 when they get it ready.

Anyone have experience with them? Been talking to Jeff...
