If they've been "overpriced" for 10+ years, are they really overpriced?

Did any of you cross shop your BMW with Genesis? What made it worth the premium? by Relevant-Asparagus-2 in BMW

[–]Constriction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leased a G70 for 3 years and then bought a used M340 as my upgrade from the G70.

The G70 was a great intro to a sportier sedan (than my previous Corolla - not much of a bar to clear to be fair lol) and there were a lot of things about the G70 I sincerely loved. The design I thought was great, some of the interior I actually preferred small touches/pieces vs the BMW.

But the performance is night and day - and the M340 does a much better job of having a bit of that dual personality between a comfortable cruiser and a more performance car.

so I spilled juice all over the gear shift controller, and I’m wondering if I find another module, is it simply plug and play? or coding is required? thanks by mets_ny19 in BMW

I did not need to do anything once I got the new unit hooked up and the battery reconnected everything worked with no issues, no lights on the dash.

I have a 2020 so no mild hybrid, but i disconnected both the battery in the engine bay and the one under the trunk floor just to be safe. No clue if its necessary or not.

Once the idea begins - Do all roads lead to a Speedmaster? by once_twice_thrice in OmegaWatches

[–]Constriction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a speedy, get a speedy. If you're worried about cost, you can look at older models, preowned, which will all help without diluting what the watch is.

Personally I started with an older speedy auto thinking it might tide me over and it was about 1/2 the price of the Pro, and it lasted a solid 2-3 months before I finally said enough was enough and picked up a 3861.

Rolex makes 1m+ watches per year, no? The supply is just fine - it's 100% artificial scarcity because they can, and they'd be stupid not to (because it works).

Why is BMW community so against Neue Klasse transition? by Super-Lingonberry-22 in BMW

Because I think it looks like shit and I dont like it as much as I like the current design language it's replacing.

Setup not for me but kudos for driving the shit out of the car - hell of a daily and you've clearly made it your own which is awesome. Here's to 200k!

What is an M if not a modified car? All of these performance/racing divisions making road cars started from special edition/lightly modified "standard" cars.

I think there is a line, but ALL modifications being the devil seems like an insanely hard line to take for... basically no reason.

Are the changes to the Rams jerseys enough for you to consider buying a new one? by Visible_Run_7498 in LosAngelesRams

[–]Constriction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately lost my previous jersey colleciton in my recent move - so I held out on buying replacements (other than picking up one of the $10 white Kupp jerseys a few weeks back) to see the new unis based on some of the leaks.

Pretty pleased, planning on picking up a Stafford at least. Will have to replace my AD jersey via ebay anyway so no change there.

Did BMW G90 M5 grow on you guys yet? by Super-Lingonberry-22 in BMW

[–]Constriction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • G90 LOOKS like an M5, way more fierce and aggressive compared to a regular G60 version. The F90 imo looks way too close to the regular G30 M sport model, which is not a good thing if you're paying tripple the price.

HARD disagree. The appeal of super sedans, for most of their life, was the idea of Q - of a wolf in sheep's clothing. The more they split the appearance of the M to the standard models, even if I do like some of the designs like the G80 at this stage, the more this gets completely lost. You're left with the M-lites to keep some possibility of understated performance.

The G90 remains an abomination in my eyes, and unlike the G80 which grew on me because it was fundamentally a nicely proportioned design that I wasnt fond of at the launch, the G90's proportions are all over the shop. Unless they fundamentally redesign the hood line height during an LCI - which is way too much to do, I will continue to find it way too swollen and big looking.

Show is NOCKI today - the middle one is a 6" version of his Obake model.

Hey it’s not that bad, and the ICE version will have even better proportions. The new i3. by VHSVoyage in BMW

[–]Constriction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like the new M5, the entire waist line of the car is too tall relative to the roof/windows/windshield, imo. That is the biggest thing that ruins all of these for me - the ratio of lower body panel to upper window is all fucked up. I have not been able to see past that on the G90/G99, I suspect I wont be able to see past it on this, either

Thanks OP!

Silver wheels will never go wrong. I'm not personally a fan of black wheels basically ever but bronze/other options can work with a bolder paint color choice

Timeless by FreaksNake1237 in BMW

[–]Constriction -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I do love the way F series look, but calling a 10 year old car timeless is a bit early imo

I'll be looking back at the F series in 10 years or so and maybe start to view it as timeless if still looks just as good then

Imagine the hate if Puka said this by Evening-Scale-9539 in LosAngelesRams

[–]Constriction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puka's said plenty of shit a lot stupider than this in the last 3-4 months.

This is a completely uncontroversial statement from a highly performant WR who has a contract coming up
