New Duracell 92Ah AGM battery to replace the four year old Banner OEM, about $200 / DIY from Batteries Plus here in Venice:
At rest voltage is about 12.3, I saw as low as 11.6 at startup before. Charging Voltage is 14.0 or 14.1, with previously it being 14.6 or 14.7. I had my dealer do the BMS, even though I'm not 100% sure it would make any difference in the charging profile of old/new. Cost to me was $0 because they threw it in with the service as part of my engine air filter swap (below).
New OEM engine air filter, about $600 installed at my local dealer, Suncoast in Sarasota yesterday. This was due by time, and was original to the car. I have just over 31K on my car ('17 C2).
Glad to get this swapped out, as it looks a bit dirty.
lol yeah not sure whats up with the lollipop. It was funny.
Be careful when installing do not over tighten or plastic will start cracking or at least discolorating due to tension.

WOW! 73K miles?! DaveGee is right its going to be a new car and you are going to wish you did this a long long time ago! Enjoy it!
I bought the car CPO almost 7 years ago with 4K miles on it. I had the car shipped to Stuttgart where I was stationed but had the US dealer put new winter Pirellis on since they were required by law in Germany. They were supposed to ship the summer tires, but accidentally disposed of them so I got a brand new set of summer Pirellis for free. Swapped the tires from winter to summer every six months as required by German law so didn't wear the summers down too fast. Have replaced them since getting back to the USA four years ago and stuck with the Pirellis. Finally decided to give the Michelins a try. Interested to see how they will be.

Keep us posted. This is my next planned upgrade. I learnt something new yesterday as I feel like I have a good amount of tread left on my pirelli p zero’s they have 6000-7000mi on them but as my chemical engineer friend was explaining the compounds harden with heat cycles and that explains why I am feeling like they are not as sticky as they should be.
After 73,000 miles, switched from Pirelli P Zero to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Interested to see the difference.
No experience on the 4S but the MPSS were great tires and I hear the 4S improve on them. You'll love them, even if you track or heat them up proper in the Twisties.

I'm lovin my similar switch in May, on my 911 ERE with PowerKit, when the OEM Pirellis exceeded 5 years according to the DOT dates, with less than 14k miles. About 4/32 on the rears remained, and near 6/32" on the fronts. Used Tirerack.com and my local indie Porsche shop in Orlando area.
Went from Pzeros to Michelin PSS2 and was amazed at the ride and grip improvement. Then again last month from PS2 to PS4 and it was another jump of the same caliber again.
What shocks me isn’t the mileage but rather that you managed that without wearing down the inner flank to the cord. The camber from factory is pretty high and mine were destroyed inside the wheel at 12000 mi - the outside was good… you must have a very conservative alignment !
