Should be wireless AA/Carplay. Has been since 21 model. 

Great pics. 

I asked Mr. Levine on twitter this morning if this affected the aiming of the headlights(it does) but haven’t heard back from him yet. Headlights should be re-aimed down if you lift the front of the truck up 2 inches but nobody will do that. 

I got you. I’ve always preferred m-sport designs over standard but that’s always kind of been Alpina’s “thing” 

Kidneys aren’t blacked out on the show car in Frankfurt. I much prefer these to the blacked out ones in the press shots. 

Supposed to be the S58 not the old S55. 

Nurburgring has officials with timing equipment available for lap record attempts now.

This was a pretty nice seeming car at the time. 

You have been lucky with the rental cars. I’ve been in a lot of nissans and toyotas without auto headlights. See a lot of modern Lexus cars and suvs that don’t seem to have auto lights.

but this is a 5 Series with speed cloth

Same issue blows my mind on an almost daily basis. See people driving around at night or close to it with nothing but their DRLs on and no tail lights. See people driving around in low visibility bad weather with no lights on at all. Been a long time since I’ve had a vehicle without auto-headlights that were tied to…

Not really funny, I see people driving around in 90s and mid-00s cars all the time with brights on thinking the same thing. They’re still pointing directly at my eyes regardless how dim they appear compared to modern Xenon/LED options. 

Good pic, much better spec than what they provided you with. I’d take the X3M in Alpine white or Donington Grey with 20s please. 

The Laser portion of the LED headlights are seriously neutered in the states. Actual lasers only come on during high beams and the headlights aren’t allowed to have the tunnelling/anti-dazzle feature enabled in the states so they turn and brights come on and off but I wouldn’t quite call them adaptive in the states.…

Apparently there was a difference in EU vs US supra tail lights too.

Maybe they’re just trying to set a new time on good tires? 

Seem to remember learning about the puma from the Colin McRae rally PS2? game

Fun to see this one still racing around the Nürburgring.

DTM is racing at Zolder this weekend as well.
