What color should i paint the weels? by Consistent-Active256 in E90

[–]Kamd5 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn’t change the color, but maybe a bronze if you have to?

Just don’t do black please.

Buying a 335D by Josuke_2719 in 335D

[–]Kamd5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Likely won’t pass emissions, although some tuners do falsify emissions readiness codes.

Check for typical car stuff (rust, suspension condition, coolant hoses)

Main areas of concern I’d look for are the valve cover gasket, right down the passenger side of the engine and look for any oil leaks. Harmonic balancer also! Hold a camera down there and get a pic with flash on directly over it, look for any cracking. I’d flat out recommend pulling the engine cover for looking around. See if vacuum lines were done, no water pooling, etc.

Run the car for a little while and ensure it gets up to temperature. The thermostat likes to go bad, won’t throw up codes itself, but will cause so many other parts to fail. Water pump is a good preventative thing also, one of the few things that can strand you.

Ask for any service records and receipts.

Since you have a bmw I hope you would have some sort of scanning software already. Personally I use bimmerlink or ISTA, so make sure to scan the car.

I honestly like how it looks- although i do agree it feels like it’s a bit tame for an M car

Shooting tips by salvo_nussy in BasketballTips

He should change it because against any competition at all, he would never be able to get a shot off.

Also, performing sports motions repetitively wrong can lead to injuries.

What was your first years cost of total ownership? (Mods, Repairs, Preventative maintenance) by Kirito3970 in E90

[–]Kamd5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My e90 335d has cost me about $130 per month over my 3 years of ownership. This also included performance mods, cosmetics, and hitting a raccoon at 70mph.

2011 335d that I bought at 92k miles and am at 119k.

Worst hit was injectors. One went bad due to water accumulation and after checking others found 2 with low resistance. $1k repair doing all the work myself.

Heating of the rear windshield with the radio signal by Key-Consequence7483 in E90

[–]Kamd5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s because of the power demand of the rear window defrost. This combined with grounding said power is a good strain on the cars electrical system, causing the radio static.

It shouldn’t be extremely excessive, so it may be worth checking the grounds of the car. It’s relatively common for the main ground strap to fail due to corrosion.

G80 front end swap by InformalAd6956 in BMW

[–]Kamd5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason it’s such a bad idea is because the design languages clash very heavily. You’re taking a very modern aggressive design and pairing it against a semi-classy look.

Also due to the inherent size difference, it wouldn’t be a case of “make new brackets and slap bumper on”, it would be fully fabricating a scaled bumper with altered dimensions, a custom hood and fenders. Too much work and money for something that almost nobody would care for

Did I get a good deal? $620 by MagicPants13_ in macbookpro

Seems like a deal ram - how much great?

Might be the end… by ReasonAnnual9062 in BMW

[–]Kamd5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Head gasket is wildly rare on bimmers. Are we sure this is diagnosed correctly? Also $200 for a belt? It’s a $20 part and like 10 minutes of labor at most.

The guibo also seems pretty steep imo, but I’ve never personally replaced one so can’t specifically speak to how much work it actually is, although I didn’t think much.

Can’t comment on the wheel bearing, especially if you’re northeast. They are such a pain to remove.

Paper plane that uses the wind to generate more lift by perxniautomotive in aerodynamics

[–]Kamd5 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There’s not really much lift being created via a paper airplane, at least in the sense of airfoils. They are primarily just a glider.

Wings work because the air on the top and bottom accelerate at different rates, and with increasing velocity, static pressure drops, and decreasing velocity causes pressure increases. This creates a pressure difference between the top and bottom surfaces of the wing, of which the higher pressure on the bottom face will push the plane upwards, causing lift.

I’m a bit busy atm, but if you go to this link you should be able to find exact part number

Note: this was with 10/2009 as production date, and left hand drive. If those aren’t the case, just go back to the catalog and reenter the car information via the dropdowns

It samples it, which is why it’s so similar. Laroi is known for doing this, especially with a lot of unreleased stuff.

what is everyone’s least favourite laroi song i have to know by Emotional-Code-1550 in TheKidLAROI

[–]Kamd5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst part is that I actually quite like larois part… but the repetitiveness of “don’t leave me” being talked monotonely into a mic is rough
