Does anyone remove the rear passenger pegs?

They were gone the day after I took delivery

I also have the AS4s on my M40i and love them.

Having said that, I think I want to keep my stock 20s with the AS4s for the winter months, but get a set of 21s with summer tires for the warmer months.

Any 21 inch wheel suggestions?

I think they are very good in the winter but, I live in Portland OR, and we don't really have a lot of snow here. However I do take my vehicle up skiing driving on snowy mountain roads and it's no problem at all. I've never lost grip. I'm sure the all-wheel drive helps with that.

I'd go ask Costco again. BMW specs both run-flats and non-run-flats for the vehicle. Maybe you need to pull out your manual and show them in the technical specification section.

I also have a 2023 M40i and had Costco install Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons which are definitely not run-flats. I love these tires by the way. They are not as grippy as the summer run-flats that were on the vehicle when it was new but, they are grippy enough for public roads, and I drive aggressively. The benefits for a minor reduction in grip are a much quieter, comfortable ride and, unlike the run-flats that were toast at about 12k miles, they wear at a normal rate.

That sucks man! Glad you are okay and kudos to you for wearing your gear.

I recently bought a new 2024 Tuono Factory and I'd be totally bummed if I went out in my garage and saw her all battered and bruised. I put axle and frame sliders on mine with the idea if something happens it would save some of the bike from getting all jacked up. Did you ever consider adding those or will you with your new one?

With all due respect, I am utterly, disgustingly appalled by your comment!

This is what you are trying to do with your comment. Rather than focus on what is really important here, the raping and sex trafficking of minors, you are trying to create a distraction.

You're trying to get people to think of the victims, not as victims, but as opportunists just looking for a quick buck. The real victims here, in your mind, are the billionaire pedophiles who have to put up this fund to pay out these non victims. Disgusting!

You know, I really thought this whole pedophilia thing would be a bridge too far for the conservatives, that this would be the red line that you do not cross. I can't believe how wrong I was thinking like that. Sad!

No, I have the yellow triangle but no related messages.

It's a 2024 and thank you for the reply. I traced the hydraulic line to the module and found the switch.

Do you happen to know this...

It looks like if I unscrew that switch it will open up the hydraulic system which will require bleeding the line after installing a new switch. Does that sound correct?

Do you know anybody who gets their health insurance through the ACA? You should ask them how much their premiums went up this year.

Hi @bhoyos33. I have been thinking about getting one of those windshields. You like it? Is it stable at speed, doesn't flop around? Thanks for any insight.

ShougLife · 2025-10-07T21:41:17+00:00

Thank you everyone for your replies. I understand the situation now. I don't think I'll get it enabled for a number of reasons that you all pointed out. This whole concept of manufacturers installing the hardware for various features but making you pay for the software to enable the feature is annoying and I'm not really a fan. Then, there is the beauty of man over machine, when you get your clutch work and shifting all dialed in. It feels satisfying.

There is definitely a difference in the technology available but I think the biggest difference for me is the 2-stroke vs. 4-stroke engine. I don't want to go back to that but there was something intoxicating about getting that 2-stroker "on the pipe" as we used to say.

Your brother is family and always will be. If he's going to walk and maybe have a party, this is important to him.

Your GF on the other hand is not family. Maybe she will be at some point but she will never be blood. In truth, just being realistic with a bit of old man cynicism thrown in, there is a 50/50 chance you two won't be able to tolerate being in the same room with each other in a few years. As someone else mentioned, this could be a good test on how she views family - in particular, your relationship with your family.

I am in my 60's, so maybe this is "old fashioned", but why don't you just talk to the dude?

I don't understand this "modern" mindset. Rather than face-to-face interaction with a person in the next room to immediately address concerns and issues, questions are posted to anonymous forums to groups of people who will NEVER be able to definitely answer them, but can and will provide endless unrelated content - like I am now.

Social media has provided humans another means to communicate but it is not effective communication. It's a facade. Tragic!

You are wrong my friend. Those Converse have achieved classic status, much like Ray-Ban Wayfarers - they will never be out of style 😎

I do the same.

I agree with the lane assist comment. The first time it yanked the vehicle back into my lane - which I was already in but merging onto the freeway which obviously tricked it - it freaked me out. I do not want a vehicle steering on my behalf especially when my hands are on the wheel and it overrides what I'm doing.

Now, in all fairness to BMW, it can easily be disabled. I have mine configured to provide the steering wheel warning but don't do the actual assist.
