But, of course, that wouldn't allow their silly marketing that claims things like it's more powerful than a "300HP" BMW turbo 3-liter, which is a bad joke.

Compass in my rear view mirror is not working. I tried to turn it on/off using the instructions in the owners manual, but no luck.
Wonder if the guy whom did my tint did something when he removed the mirror to install the windshield tint....
Anybody know how to remove the rear view mirror? I want to try to remove it, re-install it to see if the compass comes back alive...

Driving home from Mexico thru the canyons at night. Motor has about 500 miles on it. I think the highest i rev'd it was to 6K RPM. Funny thing is you can see the GPS screen of the road in front of me which i didn't mean to record, but it worked out nicely.
Driving in Sport+ mode, manual shifting. Intelligent High Beams are on, but don't work too well in tight turns.
Here's my G-Meter from tonight

So, the OEM clear bra on the rear doors seems to get a ton of dirt buildup on the seams due to the rocker panel directing air towards the area. Tried to clean it off, but the visible lines come back after 1-2 days of driving. How did you guys deal with this?
Should i just clear bra my entire rear door so there's no seams?

Compared to the 2017? I don't see anything new.
