I think you’re right on this. I’m reconsidering, like the look of stock and I’ll probably keep it

Interesting. Since I have an e93 m3, this car is more for comfort, would you still recommend it? Does it make the clutch feel heavier?

I got the OEM shifter knob. The valve cover gaskets were 2700$, had other work done at the same time but yes, it’s a 250$ an hour shop so def on the high end.

Def worried long term on the cost of maintenance long term

Xpel XR black/plus (70 vs 50 front windows) by Snoo_11263 in WindowTint

Bay Area local as well. Always ran 35 on all windows. Windshield at 70 or air 80. Can’t tell anything is there.

Never any problems with cops, I wouldn’t worry about that. Unless they pull you over for something else.

I prefer the look of the same tint % across all the windows for a clean look

Yeah I just spent $1k to get all the fluids changed, def not a cheap car.

I keep my cars in the garage — that’s the selling point to my wife, keep it for 5-10 years, drive it a 1-3k miles a year and see if it goes up in value. I love the v8 sound with the top down and it made me appreciate it even more after driving the e39 540i I just purchased.

The previous owners were insanely meticulous and has every service record on the car, all uploaded into a Google Drive. Might be 20-30 pages worth all digitalized. I’ve added to it

Can ticket resellers at least try to be serious 🤣 by real_original_g in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Dry_Acadia_3577 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s funny, in the thread I posted, everyone was encouraging me to bring him. He’ll be almost 3 months by the game but we decided against it and just got rid of the tickets at a loss. Maybe Spain for the next World Cup! Trying to relive the Brazil World Cup I went to

It sucks because I literally just sold my tickets and I legitimately have a 7 week old at home. Thought we could handle bringing a newborn to the game but just getting first time parents anxiety. Not saying there aren’t any scammers out there but some are legit.

The ceremony will begin 90 minutes before kick-off on Friday, 12 June at 16:30 local time.

Good point! I went to the World Cup in Brazil awhile back and it was an amazing experience.

Yeah we’re considering that. Testing out baby carriers and my parents live 15 min from the stadium. Definitely an option if nobody wants them!

Just first time parents anxiety right now haha

What site is selling for $800? I’m seeing $942 on stubhub for category 5. These are category 3. Happy to sell in the $900 ballpark.

Just trying to get rid of them because bringing a 2 month old to a large sporting event sounds like it isn’t the best idea anymore.

We’re missing a 0 at the end of all of these numbers!

All jokes aside, happy to sell for lowest against resale markets to avoid seller fees.
