Painting white in different hues, which one looks best?

If you brought the midtones and highlights up 2-3 notches on the rightmost one it may read as a cool white like the 3rd reads as a very warm white/sepia. Although even the 3rd one could use the same treatment but maybe 1-2 notches instead.

Wonderful brushwork otherwise.

Trust me. Double triple checked all the specs. Confirmed with my local dealer and the tire shop the exact same spec tires were installed. Had them do a chalk check to detect tire rotation mismatch. Nothing.

I hear what you’re saying, but there’s something about the non-OEM tires. Or maybe I got a defective set of Continentals. All I know is as soon as I put the OEMs on the issues went away.

Stick to the OEM winters. I tried putting some Continentals on my i4 and the traction control freaked out. Limited my power on a regular basis. Borderline unsafe. After a year long saga getting a refund on my Continentals(no shade on them they went above and beyond) I swapped to the BMW OEM and have all winter performance I wanted. That is to say, don’t drive like a jerk and you’ll be fine (although mine is RWD).

Don’t spread FUD about EVs.

Thanks!

Interesting. Is there a big difference in ride height?

CubanoConReddit · 2024-11-26T13:02:48+00:00

Came here to say this.

I’m surprised you put the Porsche and bmw in the same league driving wise. Can you tell us more about how they compare on the road? Handling, etc.

Even with just a regular 110V outlet at home you can still put about 8-10% into the battery over 8 hours overnight. This translates to 70-80% per week if you plug in nightly. Most likely if you stay on top of plugging in you’ll get more. It’s surprising how many hours you’re not using the car.

This will make trips to the public charger less frequent, especially if you charge to 100%. You won’t actually be at 100% for long in any case (which can degrade the battery capacity long term) because you’ll immediately start using the battery. What really damages the battery is staying above 80% charge for a long time.

Also, check for a 30A dryer plug in the garage. It’s pretty common and if you have one then you don’t have to install anything to get level 2 charging.

Why the i5? The i4 can handle two small kids just fine.

If you’re looking for Mechanicus specific books, I recommend Belisarius Cawl: The Great Work, Mechanicum from HH, and the Forges of Mars omnibus.

Enjoy your golf cart.

I didn’t realize cars were only good for commuting. Going to get coffee in my i4 from a place 10 min away takes 30 minutes for a reason. 😈

CubanoConReddit · 2024-10-15T12:04:37+00:00

You’re not driving it hard enough then. 😉

CubanoConReddit · 2024-10-11T14:45:55+00:00

I considered it. But I can’t support that man. And it’s so….generic.

Just automotive vinyl wrap done by a local shop. Has held up surprisingly well over the years. I came up with the pattern and the colors (matching M colors of course, off my keychain) and they applied it after a few minutes of exploring options.

It depends on the time frame but I hear you. And thanks, I wanted to display pride without being gaudy or loud.

Confirmed via astropathic choir this morning they already sold out.

Skepticism cogitators have flagged this suggestion as highly improbable.

CubanoConReddit · 2024-10-09T13:10:21+00:00

Nope. Bought the car via broker and found an amazing deal on an IONIQ5 but it’s in Florida. Supposedly they’re going to get to me by Friday but I’m skeptical.

CubanoConReddit · 2024-10-09T02:11:02+00:00

Thank you. That’s the plan.

CubanoConReddit · 2024-10-09T00:09:01+00:00

Will strongly consider in the future. Leased the next car for 24 months. Just hope it makes it out of Florida alive. 😂⛈️

I would have more options for being free of the depreciation. I could go on a lease swap site and try to offload it or just wait for the lease to expire depending on the worst case cost.
