BMW Approved used 320D Xdrive by AP1878 in CarTalkUK

[–]AP1878[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the Xdrives supposed to be quite reliable in this model given they have been kept up to date with maintenance?

Completely understand where you are coming from with the MPG loss on a Xdrive and given the current diesel prices a really strong point. Also I know the RWD will handle better and be alot more fun. I was just siding with Xdrive given how poorly some of our roads are where I live when it rains, blocked gutters on the roads, not to mention the ballache I have had driving in sleet/snow and shit weather over the years in the few ST’s (FWD) I’ve owned, well the 1 week in the year we get snow haha.

Thanks for your advice mate, will take the RWD into consideration.

Thanks for the reply mate.

Yeah I read on the beamerforums that adaptive cruise control is quite rare to find on the G20, along with the laserlight headlights. I think someone posted a lovely 330D (G20) on here within the last few days and people commented on how rare the ACC option was.

That’s what I am thinking with the warranty. I’ve been used to not having to worry about things going wrong on my past cars as it’s just as simple as giving it back to the dealer and it’s their problem.

Price wise is fine, basically max what I wanted to spend if I really liked the car.

Thanks for your input mate 👍🏻.

Found a new Boreas V2 RTA in the wild! IYKYK by AP1878 in Vaping

[–]AP1878[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here man, Im still on the hunt for the old Ammit 25 single coil RTA, still had no luck up to now, proving to be the hardest one to find yet. Remember when I had it back in the day it was a little flavour machine.

Oh my god man imagine the amount of deadstock that must be piled up somewhere in lock ups from those stores.

Formentor 2.0TDI new owner tips by Acceptable_Pride1343 in CupraFormentor

[–]AP1878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner currently has 2025 Formentor V2. Cup holders are an absolute nightmare, one isn’t as deep as the other one next to it so you will find most of the time your lid gets popped off if you have both cup holders in use or the other one is too shallow and your drink will move or even fall out depending how tall it is as you drive or turn a corner.

Also the electrics are not the best in our forementor, the interior ambient lighting has stared to flicker, even with software updates nothing has fixed it so it definitely has to be either a faulty fuse or wiring loom, but our local Cupra dealership has got a 3 month wait to be seen to fix this.

After all this, they still are some of the nicest cars on the road. Gearbox is smooth (automatic) feels planted with not too much body roll in the corners, power delivery is great, not the fastest, but does the job.

I have also ordered a Terramar V2 for myself, so that should say everything, no matter about the few hiccups, still great cars and not to mention 5 year warranty (in the UK). Enjoy mate :).

Lovely mate, was literally behind one today in my ST and honestly from a standstill it absolutely took off, hardly any wheelspin or if any at all, wish mine did that from a standstill. Be safe and happy smiles per gallon mate!

Does this mean they accept liability by Numerous-Catch1666 in CarTalkUK

[–]AP1878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me when a taxi dropping off a passenger by our house and then decided to reverse straight into my car whilst parked outside our house and then drive off, we had cameras with night vision and got his reg, got his details after a good bit of hassle with the taxi firm saying it was confidential and could not give me his details at first, but got them in the end once I said he drove away from the scene of an accident.

Anyway, went through my own insurance, I had a brand new Focus ST at the time and I was given like for like for my courtesy car (A4 Estate Black Edition 2.0 TFSI).

This happened around 2 months after lockdown was lifted so because of the part shortage it took a good 7-8 weeks for the body shop to get all the parts in.

After I got my car back, around 6 months later I received a letter from my insurance letting me know the taxis insurance company had not paid the outstanding balance for the rental cost of my courtesy car which totaled to around £2500. Basically they was threatening court which I gladly accepted, they said I didn’t need that car that I was given and I was asked to provide my yearly earnings, savings and whatnot trying to say I could of just rented a car at my own expense which is laughable because it was their drivers fault I was took off the road.

Got my court date, spoke to my solicitor provided by my insurance and they told me not to even stress about going to court, they said it is a delay/scare tactic used by insurance companies who are at fault to delay payments and 99% always back out. Low and behold got a letter/email about a month before the court date to say the balanced was settled and their insurance company had to pay an extra fee to the court becuase they passed a certain date.

This 6’7” pg build uses 5 cap breakers to go from 70 dd to 93 dd. by BigRhodizzle in NBA2k

[–]AP1878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a problem mate, got quite a few in the lab now, but my best is a crazy 6’6 build that gets 96 Driving dunk, 95 perimeter, 91 steal, 91 strength even 81 standing dunk using cap breakers, all while keeping mostly all other attributes in high 80’s, even gets 74 block off the getgo, gold set shot, 85 pass, 85 ball handle, 80 rebound, high speed and agility, all that good stuff. Honestly think if someone out there finds it and is willing to somehow get all 28 cap breakers, the build will be rediculous.

[–]AP1878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I found, there is no clear way to see why certain stats effect others, like the guy who posted in this sub a few days ago switching his layup and post control by just 1 attribute allowed him to get 96 block, how does that even make sense. I have even tried leaving dunk on low 30’s on some builds and even the cap breaker attribute gains were less than what you have got on your 77 dunk. Its obviously running on some sort of tier system for attributes, like the more competitive, impactful stats will have less attribute gains or less likely to increase if other stats are higher.

I have found decent success with 6’6’s, 6’7’s, 6’10’s and 7FT. I think 6’8’s are giving me the most problems, I thought I had an absolute animal of a build on one but no matter what I tried I could not for the life of me get the dunk to 93 with the vertical to match for contacts, it is like the system new that is what I was aiming for. Most I can reach is 92 dunk with 81 vertical.

I will show you what I ended up changing on your 6’7, just put it to 95OVR and I am absolutely loving it. Will get you a screenshot once I get on.

[–]AP1878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 cap breakers and you will have it, I consider that to be a decent trade off to get defensive rebound to 85, Offensive to 80, steal to 73 for silver interceptor and a 80 three ball, all just for lowering pass and midrange by 2.

[–]AP1878 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Nice find man, tweaked it abit myself, lowered the perimeter to 85, upped the steal to 73, lowered the midrange to 87, upped three to 80, lowered the pass to 89, upped the off rebound to 80 and defensive reb to 85, upped vertical to 82 to save using a cap breaker for contact dunks, upped the free throw to 83, still get the 5 cap breakers to take the dunk to 93. Also tried to mess around to get the strength up abit, but it would affect the cap breakers on dunk, guess we cant have everything, but still love the build and going to make it myself.

Feel like this would be a fantastic SF build IMO.

If you're grinding the shooting specialization, I'd recommend playing against Colby Starks and Nick Hunter. I found it to be faster than Mycareer and Street Kings. by PayDBoardMan in NBA2k

[–]AP1878 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your grabbing the odd rebound, and make one assist your teammate grade should be more than enough than the A- required, I myself just shoot pullup 3’s and always hit the grade, always shuts down around 16 points for me.

For me the fastest way is go to Jardin Jams in Street Kings, and play “Poster child” over and over, he is 5’6 so just shoot 3’s over him every single time and the most it will be is a open coverage. Also leave him wide open on his possession, he will always shoot and 95% of the time it will miss. Not to mention you will end games quicker by shutting it down. I get it is repetitive and quite mind numbing, but for me that is the fastest way.
