I agree 100% with you DLPTony - This car in Sport+ is a beast and I am sure upgrading the tires would only make it better - Where I live, summer tires are tricky for the shoulder seasons so I am gonna go all season when I swap mine just because I have been caught a few times in November/early December where I wish I had a diaper for my other surprise (lol)

^^ I haven’t seen another 500 in NYC either (at least in person). It’s Bimmer/IS350 central here. M340s and M440s on almost every other street. Though, once I get my hands on my 500 they would be in for a big surprise if either challenge me to a “race” without taking a closer look at her hehehe :: rubs hands menacingly ::

it would kick our *** for sure. I think if we got sticker tires and replaced stock we would be closer to .3 slower but awd will kick our ***.

Light to Light with my PS4S’ (Manual & Sport+), the M340 AWD is just a nose ahead. There’s no dust eating on our end. With the Supra it’s neck and neck, because BMW saved the extra sauce for themselves. 😎
EDIT: I do have a TOM’s Racing Air Filter installed.

I’ve probably watched the same vids and the PS4S tires are never installed. If you want to play, the car has to be in Manual & Sport+ to have a chance. Unlike every other manufacturer, our transmission has to be worked, but the sound and pay off is magnificent!

On my way home from Caffeine and Octane on Sunday, I got into the middle of a Camaro squad of about 8. My gut told me 3 of them were pretty boosted, but the others weren’t. In 10 minutes of shenanigans I dropped 3/4 of a tank to 1/2. Holding the rpms will pay off in the results, but boy will you pay at the pump!
“Hey man! Hold up a sec, let me stop off at this Shell/BP station right quick. Then we can finish this race.” 😂🤦🏽♂️

Two close friends of mine have the B58 (2019 440i JB4 stage 2/93 octane) and a 2023 340i (stock on 93 octane). My IS500 with PS4S's, catback exhaust, intake, RR Crank Dampener, E30 fuel and High Spark Coil Packs is plenty fun on the highway with very positive results!
