Taking mine in tomorrow morning - Dealer said some updates are "posted" that he could look up using the VIN and others were only visible once connected to the car - found that statement interesting. Curious why that fact would be?

The floor mats in the picture from @Bimmernate are Witamats They even have a set that includes the Emira embroidering.

That is close to what I have heard at two different places - just a slight difference at $2700 and $500.

So, after delivery I made a very long drive (900+ miles), and along the way flinched 4 times when stones hit the windshield. Had it inspected professionally, there are small surface scratches but no cracks or threat thereof. Being particular I went searching for a solution to fill the scratches...

Been hearing a rattle from that area too - a quick push in all around the window (trim, roof) seemed to solve the issue. Was driving me nuts - sounded just like being in a convertible with a soft top and water dripping on it periodically..

Oooof, I have the same valve stem covers - were given as a gift too, worried taking them off will not go over well.. o_O

The Emira Turbo i4 engine cover.

Wanted to do the same thing with my 19yo, but timing didn't work out over Christmas break. Make sure to vary the RPM. As stated you want to keep an eye on the 4K mark, but I was advised the brake-in would be much better if the RPM was widely varied - and going over 4K for short bursts would be...

Loving my i4 - goes like the clappers. Welcome to the tribe.. (y)

Try this site - have heard good things.. https://colorndrive.com/en/touch-up-paint/lotus-emira

Could not agree more.. I have not seen another Emira on the road. I know I'm not the only one in my area - but I have not seen another. Moreover, I've only seen an Evora on the road twice - once in Atlanta, and once outside DC, and years apart..

Same here - when I read some articles around the design decision of those angular edges being based on the F-117 Stealth, my first thought was why would I be interested in a design from 1983 - in 2020 (when I was looking at the C8)?

@MikeG, Interesting that you are finding a pattern with cold weather. When I finally decided that the "dip" was not beneficial, and disabled the function, it was a decidedly cold day in Palm Beach. Probably 30+ deg. colder than normal, but I never gave that fact a thought..

Ran in to the same issue, but neither mirrors really returned to their original set position. More like they returned to a "factory set" position. It was weird. Honestly though, the "dip" was a little much for me, and I am able to more easily reverse without the "dip". So, I just turned the...

Mine was on the 12/15 boat. Picked up on Tuesday (1/21) - Lotus Palm Beach - been driving it like I stole it ever since. Have already topped the 1000m break in..

Oh, right I remember now - remember your posts with the Start switch cover.

Lotus Palm Beach

Picking mine up on Monday.

AllState was my client for a hot minute - they sold their headquarters to a warehouse builder, and have moved away from serving a couple of states for insurance. They don't seem to be doing well financially.

What did you end up using? the leather tape, vinyl, or something else?

Can't speak to their picking and choosing of areas for coverage of Lotus cars - I was going with Grundy, and on a whim I pulled a quote online with Progressive. I was shocked at the price, waited until Monday (1/13/25), gave them a call to confirm and they came in at the same price as Grundy...

I am using Progressive, no restrictions, excellent high $ coverage for two drivers (even for rentals and the like), $500 deductible in Palm Beach where they assume a stolen car is out of the country by the time you report it, because of the ports - $1250/yr (just the Emira, no bundle)

Just out of curiosity, V6 or i4? Not that is makes a difference. But, I'm picking mine up next week, and this is the type of situation I am dreading.. Like you I would have thought we would have been past these issues..

Took a closer (blown up) look at your photo, it looks really nice with the slight leather texture in the yellow.. Picking my car up on Monday, so I am putting together my to-do list.

That's where my mind went first too..

What did you use? I was thinking of trying a strip of vinyl wrap, thought here is that it would be more robust than yellow electrician tape, or something along those lines..

Well that makes sense, I mean they have been to model of efficiency through out the whole process..🤦‍♂️

Has anyone seen the Emira logo that is offered by Witamats (one of the selections before adding to cart)? I was looking for an example, and did some Google-Fu, but could not find and example.

Incredible information!! Thank you! The Mercedes-Benz Operating Fluids site is easily navigated, and provides good guidance, as I was trying to match the standards from the manual, but the MB site gives plenty of options on vendors..

So what you are saying is - "reading IS fundamental" :ROFLMAO:

Great information, thank you. Do you happen to have a photo of the location of the filter?

Odd, Brent is usually on it. Responds right away every time I call or text. You must have caught Palm Beach on an off day.. I know there are a couple of nicely configured orphans on the lot too..

Mine was on the 12/15 boat as well - Dealer said it was on transport, would be delivered to their site this week (S. Florida). Traveling for work, so I'll be delayed for 2 weeks before I can pick it up..

Thanks.. Yeah, I was figuring it was reaching out to the seller via email, but thought I may have been missing something - a notes option while ordering or something.. Been following the thread closely, looked at other purchasing options too but haven't had much luck. All others seem to be...

Where do you indicate US version? Trying to purchase, both using "Buy Now" and through the Cart, but I don't see any place to indicate a US version. (I assume to prevent ending up with a Lotus NYO version of the logo)

Ok, where did you find the puddle lights? I have searched for ones with either the Emira logo or the Lotus logo - but best I could find was "add your own logo" type.

There is a whole thread on what @DigDugLotus is talking about.. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/driver-seat-issue.4599/

..you mean I have to re-read ALL the Emira "to-do" bookmarks I've saved over the past 2.5yrs... 😨

OK, so having to travel through 1/16 isn't really slowing down my pickup by too much time - I was seriously trying to come up with excuses to not travel for work the first few weeks of the new year.. crisis alleviated..
