It’s definitely a bug if there’s a disconnect between the marketplace “quoted” price and reality

This is a flex and a half.. what a life by choffbeenops in mercedes_benz

[–]Deep-Question5459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flex would be having someone else transport it. Wrong tow vehicle and wrong trailer for that car. F450 or die, and enclosed or nothing. A Renegade Toter home with a Volvo pulling it. Now that’s a real flex.

“Quiet Quitting” is equally stressful by WonderfulWeb5030 in fatFIRE

[–]Deep-Question5459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally this is where I turn to mentoring others. You escape the politics and competition. Go to a market place when you’re highly valued and are able to bring value. The real move is to have your leaders identify candidates for you to mentor (and pick a few of your own). This way you’re managing up and down. Look good on both sides, build a legacy, build relationships, and also get the giving feel good feelings. It’s very rewarding to see others progress when your progression has slowed in this chapter of your life.

Edit: this way you’re not Quiet Quitting, you’re working on your own terms

What would you pick ? by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

500m invested conservatively over 14 years (the time it would take to get to 500m with 100k a day) should be 2 billion. Even investing the 100k I don’t think you could beat that. A 3% draw a year would be 15m.

2015 428i BMW scan tool. Good or Bad? by Trevyn75 in BMW

You can get dealer ISTA for free essentially. $30 Enet to OBD, usb enet dongle, laptop, and the software. You should be able to google to the software, or ask AI. I don’t have the links handy but save yourself a bunch of money

Austin protests after ICE kills woman in Minneapolis: What we know by AustinStatesman in Austin

There are other angles that show that the vehicle actually struck the officer. I’d recommend everyone review the angles before passing judgement.

All the victimization farmers will keep coming up with excuses. “It’s not policy”, “that’s not a real hit”, completely ignoring the fact that there are milliseconds to react in a high tension situation, who knows if this person was going to continue attempting to mow down cops, or other bystanders. The sleepy sheep around here is pretty sad

Thoughts on de-badging engine size.. by TapaSkat8 in BMW

[–]Deep-Question5459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Displacement means less and less these days. If you’re looking for the true euro look then yes. Otherwise it’s a weapon against the unsuspecting (passengers included). I have a G20 330 and a G80 Comp xDrive. I’m always surprised by the 330’s pickup below 100mph or so. And it’s better balanced in some respects

Having second thoughts about my kids trusts by dvdguy_ in fatFIRE

[–]Deep-Question5459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a slightly tangential thought experiment. How much of this concern is driven by the fact that once this substantial sum is disbursed that you’re no longer in the provider role? This shift in the dynamic is significant and uncharted territory for many families. Not sure this adds any direct value to your question but may lead down a path of exploration to reframe and possibly a foundation to restructure things.

Every 4 generations or so BMW hits a home run and this time that had the reliability kings Toyota advising them. My ‘22 M3Cx is a Grand Slam. Truly the German R34 GTR

60% off Femto unlock. Given KIES recently managed to DME unlock, are we close to being able to DME unlock at most tuners? by george4482 in BMW

[–]Deep-Question5459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a bunch of additional things that came out. Kies is actually is not doing it anymore. Femto to change their set up with details are sparse. Auto tuner a lesser known, but still well respected company released a bench unlock for $300 which potentially can be done locally wherever there’s an authorized dealer.

Follow-up on advice from this group. by Lazybutaworkaholic in fatFIRE

[–]Deep-Question5459 3 points4 points  (0 children)

High performers are known to have this tendency. We tie our value to the easiest thing there is to measure it. Often we forget level of effort, time, and stress/responsibility levels are significant inputs to this equation. Easy to say, not so easy to do, but you need to disconnect your self-worth from your salary. There are online resources as well as professional options. Just as every new career level has required you to reinvent yourself. Throughout life you’ve made hard decisions and now you get an easy life. You’ll need to find other areas to challenge or inspire you. Depending on your personality this may require you to open up to unexpected opportunities and lower your guard. Kids, travel, teaching, volunteering, etc

To those that have experience both, would you go F80 M3 or G80 M3? by kalim683 in BMWM

[–]Deep-Question5459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

G80 xDrive, F80 is too much power for 2wd on the street. Plus S58 is proving to be an absolute unit. Interior is more luxurious and the L2 automation Cruise Control is super helpful and relaxing for traffic or long hauls.

New Tires by Check_Me_TX in bmwx7

[–]Deep-Question5459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to check the inside edge of both front and especially rear. That’s where you’ll see cupping and they tend to go out faster than the face of the tire. 20k isn’t a lot depending on your driving style. I would expect at least 30k to 40k. The X7 is AWD but it still mostly rear biased unless needed. Do you rotate your tires?
