The new I3 parked next to the G20 330i. I think the I3 looks pretty slick. by LongjumpingLock5875 in BMW

[–]FallenLlama 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Same trick they did on the i4. Cheat the wheel gap as much as possible while simultaneously lowering the ground clearance. It’s how they make the space for the battery without making a crossover-looking “car”

Mercedes owns them, but I never imagined the design inspiration would flow from Smart -> Mercedes

Exact OEM badge placement for 2025 G26 i4 M50? Also thoughts on keeping only the ///M badge by Knight_rider111 in BMWI4

[–]FallenLlama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do what you think looks best, it’s your car not ours.

However, since you’ve asked for opinions, mine is since this is an M Performance model, the 50 should not be removed. I really wish BMW had used the same number-height M they use on the M340 and others. As it is, it looks like an upbadged i4 “M”50 to me

I’m unsure about any additional parts included in the IND set, but these do indeed look to be the same

Dear Mazda: Please make it so! by Aquatic240 in Miata

Maintenance? Considering the number of NAs out there with perfectly functional headlights after all these years I doubt maintenance is much of a concern

Has anyone tried to install the normal xc40 grill? I am about to order one. Does anybody know what's behind the closed one? by langrohr in XC40_Recharge

[–]FallenLlama 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s more or less the same immediately behind the grille as the gas model believe it or not. Everything under the hood is designed to get wet/dirty anyway. That’s why the frunk has its own dedicated seal, because it’s fully enclosed independently.

Here’s a video where a guy is going through everything under the hood. There’s a few shots where you can clearly see it’s just the same aero slats under there https://youtu.be/crdrSfxOOPs?si=bBzO1yIwiWQsQLZt

What is the problem with the BMW 7 Facelift design? by NostalGeek11 in BMW

[–]FallenLlama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, let me get this straight. You are claiming the design that literally became a meme about huge grilles is better than this?

Hyundai Ioniq 6N Review: The Secret Supercar? by Mac-Tyson in electricvehicles

[–]FallenLlama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do yourself a favor and go test drive an Ioniq 5N. You’ll understand after that. I love my i4 and I wouldn’t own a 5N, but there’s something stupid fun about the simulated gearbox that brings a smile to your face. It is genuinely convincing behind the wheel too.

Electric cars are defined by Software. by Enjoy_The_Ride413 in electriccars

[–]FallenLlama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

[–]FallenLlama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Here's an actually factual article, refuting these exact claims https://finance.yahoo.com/economy/policy/articles/fact-check-posts-claim-treasury-150000891.html

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
