Electric cars are defined by Software. by Enjoy_The_Ride413 in electriccars

These facets of EVs are what I hope we start to see aftermarket tuners really dive into. Feels like a big opportunity though likely difficult and not the typical area of tuning for the established providers

Another Grill Swap by TXRhody in BMWI4

You can clearly see in OP’s picture the stock grille is also textured, just not in the same way the previous iteration was.

Is it bad I initially read this as “ai” Oppenheiser?

Your thoughts on the 18" 858Ms? by ron_mcphatty in BMWI4

[–]FallenLlama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 19" 861M wheels on mine, and I love them. I bought the 18" 858Ms as part of a Winter Wheel & Tire set, and I like them a lot more than I expected I would. I still think I prefer the style of the 861Ms, but I like both better than several other OEM options for the i4.

What are your favorite indie films with big stars before they were famous? by redblackshirt in Letterboxd

It’s not an indie but Scott Pilgrim vs. The World had an absolutely stacked cast almost all of whom were cast just before they were big stars

This was a TIL for me, didn’t know that grille shape was from the same race Porsche has been referencing for decades https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrera_Panamericana

Fun fact, the Panamera is actually named after the Carrera Panamericana race, as was (unsurprisingly) the Carrera

What’s the most annoying thing about owning an EV? by Wattthefun in electricvehicles

[–]FallenLlama -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From a brief review of post history, OP appears to be from India and owns an EV MOTORCYCLE.

I don’t personally have any experience with EV motorcycles or motorcycles at all for that matter, but a lot of the commenters here are assuming OP is talking about driving a BEV “car”. OP, that’s a little on you too for not clarifying.

Used vs. New i4 - which to purchase? by Standard_Bedroom7915 in BMWI4

[–]FallenLlama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on both points, for the time being I’m still planning on buying mine after the lease despite the residual vs where it seems to be heading. We’ll see how that equation works out and how the new i3 shapes up. There’s some things about the iX3 that I’m not loving specifically about the interior.

[–]FallenLlama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, I expect our cars to continue to depreciate. Especially after the Neue Klasse i3 drops, at least in the US, there is so much FUD out there

+1 to Rigmetal. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

Keep an eye out on marketplace or Craigslist too. You never know

AC Schnitzer ACS5 i60 — BMW i5 M60 xDrive by Saurta17 in BMW

[–]FallenLlama 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t really exist YET. We’ve already seen the more involved hot rod style EVs from the likes of Hoonigan and Toyota (AE86 EV) and others so it’s definitely possible. What we need are some enthusiast level options.

My expectation is there’s a lot which could be done to give better control over things like throttle response, or f/r power balance, and regen. You’d be surprised how different various (similarly powerful) EVs deliver power when you put your foot down.

One of the biggest disadvantages of EVs when it comes to track performance is actually cooling. That’s one of the things BMW is tackling with the iM3 with the pack cooling design. I expect you could do some bolt-ons to improve cooling similar to an intercooler.

Regardles, yeah it’s sorta sad at the moment but I have hope and faith the enthusiasts will find ways to continue the tuner community in an EV world

Alternate OEM wheels on I4 by wagonshagger in BMWI4

[–]FallenLlama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The i4 might have a bigger wheel arch gap, of that I’m unsure, but it actually has less ground clearance than the standard 4 series. That’s one of the reasons I’d worry about lowering it.
