BMW called it facelift previously - now they are marketing it as a "new generation". P.S. In the same leaked specs - it is indeed faster by 0.1sec lol. I'm talking about 50i. P.P.S. For lower end tho - it's another story - they are putting a new B58 engine - that will be for sure faster and more mod potential than n55. |

No worries, I have 2014 too and that 0-60 difference is only for stock cars (not tuned) and probably only due to 1st gear ratio. So on highway pulls or 1/4 - it won't matter as much (if at all). Besides if you are tuned - that difference basically negates to zero as you are approaching 500whp and above. In fact I have a theory that for 500whp and above - when torque is so huge that a longer gear gives more benefit in 1/4 than shorter gearing (due to needing less shifts and less boost loss in between shifts). I may be wrong of course, but it makes me sleep better lol

Hit 50k on my 2014. Not a lot for my year but Still going strong. Nothing but spark plugs so far. Still got tons of meat on the pads and rotors too which is awesome to see. Knock on wood! Haha

Almost there with you, bud! I'm at 49,200 miles with the same MY 2014. Got suspension air bags replaced too and need new rear front control arms soon since they're squeaking. Other than that, a beast of a machine.

I've got 55k on mine and haven't gotten around to changing the plugs because it seems to be running fine. Did you notice a difference?

What were the symptoms on the front control arms that caused you to change them? Noise, looseness or something else?

What sucks is I just replaced both of them so apparently I didn't install the passenger one correctly. Lol. Fml. This next one will come from FCP for their lifetime warranty.
