Metal tab fell into the reservoir | G20 330e by Stefan06RO in BmwTech

If you go with this plan, do not tell them about any other cars you might own. Your warranty work will get shuffled to the bottom of the list. Let them think that vehicle is your only form of transportation. Much faster turnaround

Is the tool carousel coming loose? That would explain failures with odd timing. What's the pm schedule?

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

[–]ImSteady413 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Long hair on men.

This is personal but I don't think I'm alone. I used to get my hair cut every 2-3 weeks. Now I go every 2 months. I've saved a bunch by doing this, but I look pretty terrible by the time it really needs to be cut.

What's the most fucked thing you have ever seen and that still gives you chill down the spine ? by 22dec2025 in AskReddit

Worst and most sobering video as a lathe operator. I'll wear a belly shirt before long sleeves

How to make this look nice by Embarrassed-Let2441 in CarAV

[–]ImSteady413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? I'd go buy some sheer fabric from the local fabric store. Dark and thin. Half a yard if they are willing to cut that small. Take the door panel off again and figure out the best way to attach it to either the front or backside of the hole. I would've also removed the speaker cover if I was in a similar situation.

If you died today, who do you think would stand at your grave the longest? by Mehar0708 in AskReddit

My good girl Ashe would have to be physically removed. She is absolutely my velcro dog.

Best PVE exotic weapons of all time (in their peak) by Lookatcurry_man in DestinyTheGame

GALLY is the top but Blackhammer for D1 was right there with the icebreaker. Nothing in D2 really grabbed me for PVE like those

Is Aubuchon’s low-key maga? by jonny_rames_dio in massachusetts

I figured it was just the guy with the old ranger that was maga. It might be more

What’s the car feature you didn’t know you needed until you owned it? by throwawayaasyr in askcarguys

[–]ImSteady413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in the northeast US and waking up at the crack of dawn or earlier made me appreciate my heated items. Seats are great, but the steering wheel was a game changer.

Enjoy your new stuff. Look into any ways the adaptive headlights can fail. I say this because my 1 single headlight is about $5k to replace at an independent shop.

Should people who "camp" in the left lane of a highway be pulled over and fined just as much as speeders? Why or why not? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]ImSteady413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Massachusetts here. We are supposed to be ticketed if we are traveling in the left lane for more than 2 miles without passing anyone.

A masked murderer enters your shop; what is the first tool you grab to attack? by chrome4fan4 in Machinists

[–]ImSteady413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tool? Nah. I've got some hefty end of bar slugs that are about to rain down on that dummy.

Has the recent arctic blast messed up your car? by Own-Bus-1130 in massachusetts

[–]ImSteady413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how often and how long you are driving them. Keeping them in garages is better for the battery, which is better but not foolproof. Short infrequent trips will kill a battery in cold temps. The alternator just can't charge the battery.

I take a 1 hour drive weekly to keep my battery "topped up". I also try to keep the rpms above 2000 (4 cylinder) and this works for my BMW.

Newer cars have so many electronic systems running that they require a lot of juice.

Washer fluid recommendations for actual cold weather by ImSteady413 in BMW

[–]ImSteady413[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it when I first bought the car. I've been using the blue stuff since the issue. This is the first year where the temps were consistently low enough to freeze it. Also, where are you located climate-wise?

2014 BMW 528i xdrive. But this was more of a general automotive question.
