Really like your choice for a tonneau cover. One thing I've not seen anyone try yet is while in D mode, holding down the down shift paddle to see if the trans jumps to the lowest gear allowable. Once it does then release the paddle and floor it. Traction control ON. My 500 has that feature on the DCT and it's great for a quick reaction to a roll race opportunity. Plus in D mode it shifts automatically at the redline.

Doesn't do anything in the RR. One of the first things I tried as I had both an RS3 and TTRS that did this with DCT.

Bummer, the BMW's I had with the ZF auto 8-speed also had this function. Pretty sure the Jeep SRT did the same thing,

Also surprising as you can hold down the '+' in the RR and it goes back to D, which was the behavior of the DCT cars I've had and the F 8-speed...or maybe I am imagining this. I'll check this afternoon when I go for a drive.

I thought Speedos went out of style?

I've posted about this before, but worth mentioning again. For carrying MTBs, Latchit Racks are the best! They take less than 20 seconds to put up or tear down, and you gain so many benefits from it. They say "sold out" on their site right now, but it may be worth reaching out to the owner and seeing if he can send you one. If that's your channel, I'm sure he'd find a way with someone that has that many subscribers.

What are the break-in period rules and low long is it?
