New to me: F54 ClubS
New to me: F54 ClubS
Just got a '19 F54 Clubman S in Burgundy w/ silver roof, over Indigo interior. 23k miles
It's got Iconic trim, with basically all the options ticked. Roof rails & rubber mats all around.
I'm a supremely experienced DIYer, specializing in extraordinarily depreciated german luxobarges. This is the new family car, replacing a '90 BMW 750iL with a V12 engine that was handling daily duties. I also have a 986 Porsche Boxster S as my "fun" car.
This is also the first "nice" car I've had that doesn't need 3mo of weekends the garage to pass safety inspection.
First things to tackle are adding Android Auto, and getting a bit more power.
AA is an absolute minefield to navigate (after a few cursory searches). My car has carplay, nav, etc... what dongle do I get to add wireless (or wired) Android Auto? Or any resources with half decent overview of how the BMW i-drive ecosystem works?
Now for POWAH.... The Club is zippy for sure, but I'm used to 300hp, or P/W of about 10lbs/hp. I was eyeing Dinan's stage 1... But what are other options? Anyone have favorites?

Welcome! Piggyback systems are the easiest to do for quick power.
Android Auto - dont think it got the factory support till 2020+ It was late if i remember right. Carplay got the front seat with MINI and BMW.
