Can verify. ~$2k just for the parts to replace the hazed out lights on my wife's 335D, and you have to take the whole damn front of the car off to replace them. Granted, the car's got over 200k on the clock, but damn.

Gearing doesn't magic you more power/weight, in general acceleration performance is down to power/weight. Lower (numerically higher) gearing means you get a bit more urge in a given gear, but then you have to upshift sooner and now you have way LESS urge. I.e., "fun is conserved"... Quote:

In conclusion, this is fairly subjective and we don't need to go deeper into discussion about it. You forget I'm making a general statement to support the majority of what people enjoy in this car and how it feels. You seem to be focused more on actual acceleration and speed numbers that would result from a certain ratio vs the other. We both know that's NOT what this car is about. |

Diff gearing does *not* make transmission ratios closer. With our transmission, shifting at 7400rpm will land you at: 4465rpm in 2nd, 5212rpm in 3rd, 5825rpm in 4th, 6101rpm in 5th, and 5676rpm in 6th, with *any* diff gearing you choose. With 2.7 gears, or 5.5 gears, this will be the case. |

My 2019 WRX (in the US) has adaptive headlights. They turn in the direction of the front wheels. Mine has a manual transmission so it doesn't have the Eyesight package. The turning headlights are a noticeable improvement over fixed beams, especially on dark, twisty country roads.

This reminds me of the frequent complaint made about recent MT Caymans and Boxsters by reviewers and some owners: first and second gear are so tall and widely separated in ratio that the transmission really limits one's opportunities to row through the gears at legal speeds anywhere but on certain stretches of the Autobahn. IIRC second gear redlines at slightly over 70 mph in these cars. Not something you'd want to see in lower-powered sports cars like the twins!

No idea. Be surprised if nobody did though. If there is money to be made they will build it.

You could just replace the headlights with plastic covers because racecar. That would save a bit more weight.
