Why she chose a BMW M2 DCT over a BMW M4 + Lexus GX470 overland build review

Niel upgraded from a Mini Cooper S to a BMW M2, choosing it over other great options like the M3 and M4 because the M2 was too compelling to pass up. The car was purchased before the M2 CS was unveiled, and its license plate often invites other drivers to race. Niel's M2 is stock, offering an authentic experience of M2 ownership straight from the dealer. If she made modifications, she would consider a Stage 1 tune, smaller wheels, a valved catback exhaust, and possibly a roof wrap, with the toughest choice being between a DCT or manual transmission. Her car adventures can be found on Instagram @turrbokitty. "Answrd" is a series of car reviews by real owners rather than automotive journalists. This series covers a wide range of vehicles, including the Gaglardi Vex, Porsche 911 GT3, McLaren 600LT, Ferrari models, Acura NSX, Corvette, FRS, BMWs, and Drift Cars. Douglas Sonders, another enthusiast, recently purchased and built a 2008 Lexus GX470, contributing photos to the video series.

McLaren 720S vs 570S quirk comparison + adding CarPlay to your VW with RCD330 radio review

The McLaren 720S and 570S share many features, yet they offer distinct experiences even when stationary. Both models boast a twin-turbo V8 engine, with the 570S featuring a 3.8-liter and the 720S a 4.0-liter engine. Despite both having upward-opening doors, the door handle placement differs, particularly with the 570S Spider convertible variant. Gear selectors vary between the models, as does the unique folding dash gauge display on the 720S, a first for its class of supercar. In another realm of upgrades, the RCD330 Radio for the MK6 GTI and Golf stands out for creature comforts, enhancing the car's experience with features like Android Auto, purchasable on platforms like Amazon. For installation, tools such as a Torx T20 screwdriver and a plastic trim removal tool come in handy. Adding Apple CarPlay or Android Auto can modernize your car by a decade with a simple DIY installation in less than 30 minutes. While the older unit's built-in navigation is missed, apps like Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Maps work excellently.
