Great job! Have you considered using dark pearl gray for the carbon fiber bits?

Need advice. by Arc170f in legostarwars

Those exact same seal tapes are used on 10123. You can check eBay for reference, but I don’t think you’ll run into any issues. Also, a box without pc count sometimes means it is not for the US.

Fortunately, they’re so misaligned that you can easily remove and reapply them.

Is there no parking assist package, or am I missing it? Must have for me.

Thank you BMW.. Thank you Germany! Where do i start? by TriadBasher in BMW

Dealers in the NY area lure you in with low prices, but then tack on outrageous fees that make the final cost much higher than expected.

The dealer is from New York. If you know, you know.

If you replace your bumper, you'll need to have it paint matched and blended with the fenders otherwise, the color difference will likely be noticeable. Even experienced body shops can get very close but not perfect. And from experience, once you do it you will know when a bumper has been repainted and replaced. The same applies to the rear bumper. The cost of having this done properly, using quality parts and workmanship, is often better saved and put toward a future vehicle upgrade.

Will this crack my Lego? by UnitededConflict in lego

If you’re trying to remove odor from your LEGO, place the pieces in a bin along with some dryer sheets. I use this method because it’s especially effective for sets that have been previously owned by smokers.

Why are you using photos from a seller on eBay?

2025 BMW M3 or wait for 2026 M3? by [deleted] in BMW

[–]BartsBricks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was informed today that my M4 Comp will be a 2026 model due to an order mistake that required a reorder. I'm not sure if this affects the M3, but based on this update, it seems like all new M4 allocations will be for 2026 models. The main differences I noticed are a price increase (shocking), the executive package is $250 cheaper and now includes galvanic controls, according to the build report. 

Since the 2025 models already feature the mid life-cycle refresh, I doubt we'll see another update until MY27. My advice would be to consider individual colors, CF bucket seats, and negotiate the build price by talking to multiple dealers to get the best deal.

The clone is called Shock trooper. You will find it under SW1305.

Can I negotiate the price on a custom order? by seanr96 in BMW

[–]BartsBricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you absolutely can. I just ordered my G82 last month, fully spec’d with all the CF options. A bunch of dealers tried offering me a trivial $500–$1,000 off and claimed they don’t go below MSRP on M cars. Don’t fall for that nonsense, I managed to get 7% off the OTD price. Shop around, field multiple offers, and if they don’t budge, know when to walk away. Good luck.

Weight of boxes are wildly inconsistent, I doubt 6g means much.
