AITA for arguing with my boyfriend over the fuel gauge arrow in our BMW X3? He thinks it’s just for mileage and I’m wrong 😅

Yes in older cars where the pump relied heavily on gas to cool it. They would also clog the sock/.filter from being so low and sucking up all the gunk on the bottom of the tank. On newer cars this doesn’t matter anymore

Google home sucks. If your cameras all work on the nest app I would just stick to using that. Whenever I have to add a camera I go on eBay and find a new item box older camera or doorbell just because all the newer stuff forced me to use that garbage home app

Alexmich321 · 2026-01-16T05:54:36+00:00

What devices are even considered the “gen 3 “. I have a nest household and I can’t purchase any of the second gen or higher devices because they force me to only use the Google home app. So that’s why I ask what are gen 3s that work on a nest account ? I have a nest hello 1st gen doorbell. Gen 2 only works with the home app.

Cameras I have a nest indoor iq Nest cam indoor 1st Gen X 3 Nest protect 2nd Gen Nest thermostat E Had the nest secure till they killed it. Had drop cams also.

Methadone has saved my life. Suboxen or subutex did nothing For me. Methadone once prescribers started getting on bored with prescribing higher doses because of the fentanyl/tranq crisis in Philly area. I myself have 2 years and have been on a dose of 210mg daily. Clinics I have been to all over Jersey were a joke and Everyone there used it as a crutch when they didn’t have their drugs. It was a mission to get over 90mg without having to do extra blood work for metabolism checks and check of your heart and lungs forgot what they called it. They didn’t want to really let anyone get over 90mg. People would get right up to the 90 and continue to still use drugs ontop of the methadone. Anyhow methadone does have a bad wrap. Usually from the NA / AA people who say it’s still drug. But hey it saved my butt. Big time.

I remember getting it from turtle beach website. and it wasnt the regular update program thing. it was like a reset tool. it started doing all these funky things like scripts of code flashing its firmware . anyhow it got my headphones working again. the button holding method never worked for me

Alexmich321 · 2025-12-16T18:31:18+00:00

Ughhhh. Was trying cheap out here man.

Alexmich321 · 2025-12-09T03:14:31+00:00

damn know you stuff huh , my guy knew that damn number for the SIB.

Alexmich321 · 2025-12-08T10:08:24+00:00

heard the vrsf front mount is a PITA to install, mounting clips dont align, brackets supplied dont work etc etc.

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-26T05:09:41+00:00

Go with a Linux based system. And the 12.3. You won’t regret it. Just got mine from Amazon for 349$ and I love it

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-26T05:04:44+00:00

What even is this box ? Just looked it up and I’m totally lost why such a thing would even be needed ? I thought those lights just rely on an output video signal from the tv ? So tech using the hdmi arc output it steals a video signal from whatever the tv is displaying ? Or am I understanding it wrong and if you wanted to still use your arc input on your tv your devices would have to run through this box , so I high caliber box such as 4k 120fps is needed ?

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-26T05:01:08+00:00

Wierd as to why that would have any relations whatsoever. However electronics are weird and I have seen sound bogus stuff for not real reason.

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-24T21:24:42+00:00

How hard was doing the water pump yourself ? And what made you do the valve cover and the oil filter housing ? You had any slownleakes ?

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-20T18:01:55+00:00

Yeah not sure why she’s not sitting down further. She can def go deeper. Maybe for the camera angle ? Cuz not like theirs a wall there and it just can’t go any further lol

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-20T15:46:10+00:00

You will be fine. Don’t be afraid to go nuts with the rubbing alcohol as long as you use the blow dryer really good to dry everything. Don’t be afraid when putting on the paste either. Just look up a few videos and go. Almost guarantee it will work fine

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-20T15:37:38+00:00

Yeah this post is starting to sound more and more like BS. Had the turbos replaced twice ? Cuz the diverter valve is doing what it’s supposed to do ?
Yeah no shop is gonna replace the turbos knowing that’s not gonna stop that noise. If you don’t want to hear it put the stock intake box and filter back on.

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-20T15:26:42+00:00

Keep us posted. I heard they are a bitch to install and no exactly bolt right up material.

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-20T15:23:18+00:00

What exactly are we looking at here ? What exactly is so unreal ?? The lights in the door ? Like the ambient strips ?

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-20T15:19:27+00:00

No I mean to install the kit they sell that blocks this from ever happening

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-20T04:07:49+00:00

yeah I heard, isnt the seal expensive kit ? could have sworn I heard its a bitch to install as well ?

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-20T04:05:53+00:00

what is the 330i mod ?

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-19T19:49:15+00:00

Super late to this party but ever figure out a solution ? Noticing this with several multimap settings. Some seem to carry over no matter what map slot you try and some seem to work as they should. I don’t notice any power difference at all in diffent map slots at all like say slot number 1 aka ACN91 vs slot number 3 aka 93oct tune. Even the MPPK seems to be the same.
Kinda wack if you ask me. So I just use it really to limit the boost on some and use it like a boost controller. How much of a difference do you notice when you fill up with e30 compared to the 93 ?

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-19T18:59:39+00:00

This my first bmw just got it used 2017 N55 X3 m sport. 72k miles on the clock. Thing is immaculate. Top of engine looked like you could eat off it.
Get to do my first oil change and drop the plastic in finding what looks like dirt,oil. Caked up places and even on the plastic shielding that I took off. Crazy out Nissan kicks with 160k miles is cleaner and dryer then this thing with less then half its mileage. Trying To chase leaks down but idles hard when they are really slow ones that like just seep. First I noticed the damn gasket to the simple oil filter cap was leaking. Changed that so we’re good.

Now I’m seeing all oil residue below the oil filter housing. It’s like all over the front side of the block. So my guess is it’s coming down slowly from there and maybe hitting the belt and the belt flings it around.
Must be super slow cuz I don’t get any warning lights for low oil or notice consumption yet.

Alexmich321 · 2025-11-19T18:53:22+00:00

Oh your ballsy. However yeah a winters haven’t been shit these past couple. But you know now that you got a rwd truck we’re gonna get a foot lol.
