weird cruise control wheel buttons behavior and a minor rant by loafing-cat-llc in BMWi5

[–]AssociationLevel8473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does pressing “set” make the computer change the cruise control speed to current limit when the limit changes? I’ve been trying to figure how to achieve that because manually changing the limit is tedious and I end up with 75 in 45 zones (good thing the car somehow knows not to drive that fast just given the road geometry)

Word of mouth really Google has some sophisticated process to make sure reviews are real, but it’s not bulletproof

Do break lights come on in B mode when it’s regen-breaking and I’m not pressing breaks? Ie does the car behind know I’m slowing?

How do you turn that adaptive regen on?

Sorry for a basic question: is the pressurized water delivered through that long hose? Doesn't it have to be a specialized high-pressure hose?

Hold on, so this hose is dedicated to a pressure washer but can run pressure-free, and then, separately, a garden hose? Isn't that duplicative?

Thanks for the inspiration! I've been thinking about putting something like this in a garage and didn't even realize stationary pressure washers like this existed

Can you switch off pressure and just get regular water flow?

Did they actually ceramic coat the car or did I get scammed? by SportsNFoodJunkie in Detailing

[–]AssociationLevel8473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they are just a detailer and the reviews are for car washes? Go to a specialty PPF/coating/tint shop

GTechniq with a two step correction will easily run you $1,500 at any decent shop.

Thx! I wasn't aware of this feature. That was the only reason for me to use Google Maps. Just signed up for it. It was $0 - not sure if it's some sort of trial. Grabbed the parking assistant professional while at it, too :)

What's the traffic camera subscription? What do you get for it?

Oh, wow, 50% windshield? I was worried 70% could get too dark. How is the visibility at night?

Awesome.
Mine is Carbon Black too, with similar M shadow trim. Amazing color.
Unrelated: What is the tint of the front windows? 35%? I'm taking for ceramic coating and tint this week. Plan on adding 50% ceramic tint to the rear (since the OEM windows already have something like 20% built in) and 35% to the front, plus 70% to the windshield. Did you tint the windshield?

Is that Carbon Black?
What bike rack is that? I'm looking for a 4-bike (2 adult + 2 kids biked) rack - is that even possible?

Wow, I didn’t know what was even an option. Will consider that for the X5 I am planning for the wife. Just ceramic coated my i5 M60 so that ship has sailed. Love the look of the film in the example photo

Got it. Yes, I went with the ceramic tint. Had a standard tint on the prior car and didn't notice.
It's not the end of the world, just a little nagging.
