I didn't get as much time as I wanted with the 2020, but the press folks just dropped off the 2021. I know that this car has been covered extensively. But if there's a question you have that I can answer, shoot!

That's my color, right there! I'd love to know if the "buffing" sound while the windows down is as bad as everyone says it is... 5 years from now me is very interested in knowing lol.

Like a typical BMW, it is already leaking fluids and quite a big puddle too.

RNM GS3

How is the sound compared to previous B58?
Reports are it doesn’t have as much crackels and pops.

I know you said you didn't spend much time with the 2020, but any comments on how noticeable the power difference is, and also the power delivery / throttle response?

Johnny Mayday

Yes. I can confirm the wind noise is really bad, even at 40 to 50 mph.

just with windows down, or windows up too?

ST430

Only with windows down. It is a known flaw and fixed with a $5 part lol.

Johnny Mayday

With them down. With them up it's been fine so far.

Johnny Mayday

Initial acceleration did feel a little more agro than I remember. But I really like the delivery, it's really linear and it feels like there's always poke there when you need it. I'm taking it from Seattle over to the coast in the morning, so I should be able to get my fill this time!

Johnny Mayday

It doesn't, but it still sounds great. My best buddy is a recording engineer who does audio post production for movies and commercials, and he loved the way it sounded.

mmarshall

...........instead of the $1 or $2 part that they used on the assembly line LOL?

Johnny Mayday

Where are you seeing this part for $5? Toyota should be mailing this out to customers.

sdls

that wouldn’t be a good look for the brand. It would become a point of ridicule.

davyjordi

very true, so they should quietly replace it during a service interval.
