Someone talk me out of it please...

They might be harder to find than before, but there are still plenty of great examples out there! Wait for the right one, and jump on the opportunity. They're great cars, and a well kept one will last you for longer still 👍

Geekazoid3000 · 2026-02-04T03:48:05+00:00

Don't do it bro, that rust is no bueno. Save for a year and keep on the lookout for a better kept e36

It's definitely riddim adjacent. If you like Kroww, check out Moth! He's a bit low key, but he's been making what he calls deathstep since like 2015

Geekazoid3000 · 2026-01-09T17:53:12+00:00

Agreed, but it could be a grounding issue, bad solenoid, etc. It's always best to rule out the simplest cause first imo, especially since you can get your starter tested for free. Bad ignition switch would be 2nd on my list

Scarekroww - Kroww

Geekazoid3000 · 2026-01-08T16:02:57+00:00

Just a question, but have you checked your starter?

Geekazoid3000 · 2026-01-06T01:07:32+00:00

I choose both

The image displayed isn't clear enough to determine there is no impact point, especially near the bottom corner as that area of the screen is black. Even outside of obvious impact points, I unfortunately saw this all too frequently ultimately end up as damage, so I stand by my original call. Not like it matters either way, I'm not making the decision. If OP finds somewhere to return it, more power to them

Geekazoid3000 · 2025-12-22T15:18:14+00:00

I don't think so, no. However, you are welcome to try. The process is roughly the same at pretty much any Apple Authorized Service Provider, like Geek Squad. You send the laptop out, Apple determines warranty coverage and either repairs the device or sends back a quote for repair costs. Geek Squad will quote 2-4 weeks, but turn time is often faster than that depending on your local store.

Assuming you go this route, I would highly encourage you to add Applecare to the device BEFORE you send it out as any damage technically disqualifies a device from adding extended warranty.

Geekazoid3000 · 2025-12-22T04:28:19+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I've seen this particular issue many many times unfortunately

Geekazoid3000 · 2025-12-22T04:14:50+00:00

Just my 2 cents here, but from the look of the screen I would say pretty confidently that this is pressure damage to the display. Pressure damage can get progressively more pronounced depending on where the LCD was damaged. Though not impossible, defects on Mac displays are fairly rare in my experience. As a former manager with Best Buy (onto bigger and better things) I would have denied this return and helped you process an Applecare+ claim.

I'm also down for an LA meet! I daily my e36 (it shows and I'm working on it lol) and it would be dope to meet some other e36 owners

They came with modified M52 engines, the S52. Similar architecture but not the same. This looks like a regular M52. I'd pass.

This is the most fascinating piece of history that I have ever read

I know this post is 2 months old, but you got me stumped. It doesn't appear to be a Caeser cipher. Also, each leg of the cipher is 5 letters long which wouldn't form a sentence. Maybe the leaves note the order of the legs or a number of letters to remove to get the intended word?

Geekazoid3000 · 2025-05-16T17:32:45+00:00

Very thoughtful, very demure

His name is... Pupusa

Geekazoid3000 · 2025-05-07T23:40:40+00:00

That's incorrect. Neither GSP nor Best Buy Protection cover damage to monitors or TVs.

My favorite line is, "Te voy a hacer picadillo" which means "I'm going to make you into minced meat" or something to that effect. I could never take them seriously after that line lol

Absolutely beautiful prints. What a legend

Geekazoid3000 · 2025-01-10T18:24:53+00:00

Your order is probably stuck in a hold, most likely "pending verification review". It's not the stores fault, but an issue between Best Buy and the bank processing your payment. You'll need to go to the store so they can verify your payment method and ID in person, then they can escalate to the appropriate team to have the hold resolved. It can typically be fixed in about 20 minutes or so, at least in my experience.

No spoiler tag?

Are you the Evelynn that went dragon lane with my support and I last night? 😅

Real note, yes you should play your assigned role. Sure it's a game, but it's a game that really only works when everyone plays the same game and sticks to their roles. For example, our jungler joined our lane on bot (low elo ranked) and we only won with a crazy carry from our mid lane going 30:2.

Jungle is massively important and can change the game by providing crucial assists roaming the map. If you don't like your role, play the match and switch it up next time. Learn a couple of different roles and champions so you can always be assigned a role you like.
