I have a completely stock '24 FL5. About 4,500 miles in. I notice the shifting is a bit "clunky" at times. Mostly 1st to 2nd. I take it slow with that shift. Sometimes it's butter smooth, but other times it feels like it's "tumbling" into the gear. Not grinding. I don't think there's...
I love the bounce. I keep mine in Sport most of the time. I guess I am one of outliers that enjoys the bit of craziness that comes with the stock suspension module.
The CT4-V is a beast. Reviewers speak very highly of the inputs and manual transmission on that car. Hard to find at a fair price. But, I don't think you could wrong with that car.
I had an '23 M240i Xdrive before the CTR. The M240i was an 8- spd ZF auto. The car was crazy fast...
You will love the car. Congrats! It's such a joy to drive hard and the extra space is a blessing. And strangely because the car is so well balanced you don't notice it is a full size car. Be careful backing up if you had a smaller car before. This car is long and objects sneak up on you...
These cars can handle a lot. If not, you would be reading about blow engines all over the forums. I drove my car for the first 600 miles varying my pulls. Never accelerating overly hard or even getting near redline. With that said, as my miles got closer to 600 I would go over 4k rpms a few...
Touch up paint is a bust. To be honest, it doesn't even match perfectly. 08703-NHO-ES is the paint pen I got. Will have to get bumper cover resprayed. Next adventure...find a body shop in Miami that's not a clown show. That's gonna be hard. :doh:
I bought touch paint to fix a chip on the rear bumper I got when I was parallel parking. Misjudged the distance to a Mercedes with a brush guard. Just applying the touch up paint made more paint flake off the chipped area. Paint is very thin. I will need to get bumper cover resprayed.
The car sounds like its going fast even when going 30 mph. The lack of sound insulation combined with the piped in engine sound. I have my engine sound set to "sport" because I like to hear the rev matching. In comfort, the car is still pretty noisy in the cabin, but I can't hear the rev...
Bumper repair service said they can't fix it. I took it to a body shop. They said they need to remove the bumper cover, use a heat gun to fix the small "flex" in the bumper cover and repaint. Waiting for an estimate. I may try to hit with a heat gun myself. The damage is so small. The...
My sticky steering has stopped recently on its own. Guess the spring loosened over time. Haven't done the repair yet. Enjoying the crisp, smooth steering again in the meantime.
Would this be the correct touch up paint for a 2024 CTR in Championship White?

Rookie move. I was jammed up by some guy outside of the space who wouldn't more forward. I was watching the front of my car and bumped into a truck behind me with a bush guard. Anyway, the bumper cover has a small flex in it on the left side about 1 inch and I chipped a small amount of paint...
I don't think they're mindful. They just move from car to car to get the work done. My guess is that they installed the spring and additional grease correctly. With that said, the parts are being mass produced to meet the demand of the recall. You could've got a bad spring. I believe the...
Probably hard for tech to notice the steering not coming back to neutral if the tech just drove around the block. It's more noticeable in a tight turn at higher speed than local road limits. For example, on a curved entrance ramp you will notice the sticky steering as you will have to nudge...
What you described is my car BEFORE the repair, which I haven't had done yet. My car from initial start is fine, then a bit of driving the steering stiffens and doesn't come back to center going through a turn. I continue driving say 40 minutes and it goes away. Steering is then natural like...
I have this noise. Tick, tick on the drivers side. Goes away if I put the window down and back up. Doesn't bother me. I only notice it once in a while if the radio is turned down.
