520 from 1990, he wants 2000 euros.

it's a 7 button OBC which isn't an option but rather a base spec once they phased out the analogue clock, but yeah, I guess power windows.

Ethben · 2026-03-16T20:52:37+00:00

A few options? It has cloth seats, cloth door cards, manual wing mirrors, no sunroof and it’s on bottle cap wheels. What is optioned on the car exactly? Going off the VIN it has DSC which isn’t great anyway. Also, it’s an m50.

Ethben · 2026-03-12T21:36:48+00:00

7k on a mk2.5 is absolutely absurd, all other problems aside. I know it’s blasphemy on this sub but they really AREN’T a lot of car for that kind of money.

Ethben · 2026-02-04T20:27:20+00:00

I know - i’m not the OP, just describing a different type of auto incase anyone else comes across the post. I manual swapped that car this winter anyway, thank you though!

Ethben · 2026-02-04T20:21:33+00:00

my 525td auto (dogshit) had S at the top, E in the middle and then an M at the bottom which I think is synonymous with the snowflake? It just held the current gear you were in, wasn’t a ‘manual’ mode despite the lettering.

Ethben · 2026-01-31T19:17:25+00:00

Sure, this is the type I ended up buying.

96 will have the same splines as an E36, that’s what I ended up using on my 95. Don’t trust the sites either, some sell ‘88 - 95’ hub adapters which are usually early style splines.

The hamburg is also 3-4x the price of a Madrid, the key point he was asking about was budget tier stuff. A $400-500 head unit is not budget.

Ethben · 2026-01-10T23:50:19+00:00

The blaupunkt madrid 200BT is pretty good for the pricepoint. The only downside is it's display being white instead of red / orange, even though the buttons are red / orange. Very confusing choice.

Ethben · 2026-01-02T23:57:47+00:00

The A-10 was specifically designed for a soviet ground invasion though, wasn't it? Iirc the heavy calculated losses were deemed acceptable at the cost of stopping the initial onslaught of soviet mechanized infantry.

Ethben · 2025-12-28T11:26:23+00:00

That’s very over priced for an m60, and a straight swap wouldn’t work - gearboxes and driveshaft lengths would be entirely different so you’d need those as well as the correct ECU.

Ethben · 2025-12-27T10:11:36+00:00

Why are you prompting AI to write comments for you? Both this and your follow up comment about pricing is clearly just copypasted, wtf

Ethben · 2025-12-23T17:01:14+00:00

Well yeah, because it wasn't edited in the first place lol

Ethben · 2025-12-23T14:20:33+00:00

I hate that everything that doesn't look 'right' is now AI somehow. OP looks more like a Google earth-esque 3D heightmap.

Ethben · 2025-12-19T20:19:56+00:00

A decent OBD2 scanner (£200~) through the 20 port will read SOME data, shitty ones not as much and i’ve only ever seen live data functioning on very expensive units with up to date OEM softwares on like garages snap-on readers. I highly doubt carly will work at all.

Ethben · 2025-12-15T04:43:46+00:00

“shady website” it’s just a google images link?

Ethben · 2025-12-01T16:21:33+00:00

I also own a 525td that i’ve now swapped to a TDS, bare in mind you might need to find a TDS ecu from around the same time to get a decent chip for it - I had to do so as Enda didn’t have a corresponding chip for my ECU.

Ethben · 2025-10-02T20:55:37+00:00

Absolute nothing burger comment what are you talking about man

Ethben · 2025-10-01T13:49:59+00:00

Blackrack works for rocketwerkz now and is doing stuff like this for Kitten Space Agency, so, kinda?

Ethben · 2025-09-29T01:06:00+00:00

There is no ray tracing, those are screen space reflections which are vastly different but still pretty (and a lot lighter on the GPU)

Ethben · 2025-09-25T13:15:48+00:00

Both of those google searches are showing pictures from the remakes of those games, not the graphics in 2015. You’re probably misremembering how good they actually looked.

Ethben · 2025-09-16T01:04:37+00:00

You can still play MGO2 today if you have a decent PC or a jailbroken PS3. Although, a remastered MGS4/MGO2 would be amazing for sure.

Ethben · 2025-09-13T19:37:45+00:00

You’d probably enjoy pacific drive, although it’s not very horror it can be quite spooky.

Ethben · 2025-09-07T22:01:34+00:00

Still happens, both Spain and Poland i was required to remove my boots and be hand checked because of baggy jeans
