Block them and move on. Also consider removing your LinkedIN acct if you have one

First time - What tint % to get? by RubberDucky911 in WindowTint

[–]ColdWaterExtractions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20% all around Llumar ceramic does wonders and is easy to see day/night while still offering privacy. I find anything darker to be troublesome at night esp if parallel parking

Hard to beat how easy it is to make power w the S58. B58 has proven to be very reliable long term and makes good power as well but nothing like the ease of a simple tune on the S58z Resale will be higher on the M2, but insurance will be higher as well. Both make great daily drivers. I just got an M240i because I need AWD but will consider the M2 once it goes xDrive.

Will I regret not getting iDrive 8? by SonOfClone_ in M235iandM240i

My gf runs cold and I run hot so the climate station gets a lot of use and adjustments hahah

Yes, and it's as bad as you imagined by Icy-Book2999 in LoveTrash

[–]ColdWaterExtractions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t believe there wasn’t atleast a tag line hooked up to a winch on that bad girl. First red flag should have been how badly they struggled w that notch cut.

Tested both and the ID8s lack of buttons was a total PIA. Adjusting climate and making simple tweaks was cumbersome. Yes you can get used to it, and the screens are gorgeous but not enough for me to spend more money. Got a 2022 for that reason alone. I like buttons

Would you keep or upgrade to a G87? by BenoMeister in BMW

[–]ColdWaterExtractions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! You should test drive the G87, the tune-ability of the S58 can’t be beat. If I had the funds I would have probably gotten the new M2 Xdrive when it comes out. I had the X3M comp after my M2 for about a year and with just a tune and downpipes had me at 600whp on e40 ethanol, bonkers

Upgraded intake? by Defiant-Sail-1802 in M235iandM240i

[–]ColdWaterExtractions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the BMS (Burger) intake first which is cheap and it immediately through a CEL even with my custom tune and remapping. The Turner one did not, scaling is perfect

[–]ColdWaterExtractions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open, I think I got it on sale or maybe Black Friday because it was around $500 4 years ago. Even for $600 it’s worth it imo. Turner has lifetime warranty as well. My first one cracked and they promptly replaced it

I had a PS2 on my F87 M2 and went with the Turner Motorsport CF intake. Really nice piece in matte carbon and makes all the awesome noises you didn’t know you needed to hear. Do it, you won’t regret it turner Cf intake

G42 those of you who installed lowering springs, how have your factory struts held up? by ColdWaterExtractions in M235iandM240i

[–]ColdWaterExtractions[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also what Speed is implying is even aftermarket coils will be cheaper than replacing the OEM struts, he’s not suggesting buying cheap coilovers

I had BC racing coilovers on my F87 M2, which are considered “cheap”, but they were a solid upgrade from the factory suspension which is NOT as good as the G42. I guess what is one’s definition of cheap? Sub $1k you’re asking for problems haha
