you might want to check out the 'mycarly' and the BMWhat app. It is a great little tool for reading codes and programming options within the various modules. I don't know if it will specifically allow you to change the auto rev match feature, but it does A LOT and does it very easily.

Is the roof protected?? Jon recently had to have his CF roof replaced, and from what I understand others have issues with the CF separating (or de-laminating)

Jon's probably saw a lot more sun than yours might, but he posted some links on facebook where people were adding clear bra to the roof as a defense

So, do you prefer noisy super fast acceleration, or silent super fast acceleration?

I have no desire for a noisy car at this point. I get a kick out of the silent whoosh.

Driving the M3 has its charms. The sport+ exhaust is too loud, but I dig the exhaust note in standard modes.

But yeah, the silent whoosh of the Tesla is better day to day.

Will be interesting to see which car you end up gravitating toward. How does your wife like the m3 (Wasn’t the m3 technically a replacement for her golf?)

It’s cool that you can simultaneously appreciate the charms of both. Most people seem to be die hard for/against.

...and the ZCP is louder.

And yet, some people drop $5k on the M-performance exhaust to make it louder.
