He said it would merely, then, have to turn on less. Makes sense.

So, I did weigh the B48 cover in at 3.5 lbs. I assume a B58 cover is easily over 5lbs....so, for us fanatics, taking weight off the front axle is good! Two, it may ease temps and cooling, and third, the cover will be it great shape when it goes back on for selling it.
You believe what a BMW ‘Genius’ told you? 🥴🤣
