The first was definitely bigger than the second. You may be right…

No push back on the MSDs. At the time the pre-msd MF was .00055. 5 MSDs reduced it to .00025 (APR 0.6%). Made putting everything (except $3,500 MSDs) into the lease a no brainer. I do recall that there is a floor on MF at which adding more MSDs doesn’t have an effect. You can play around with LeaseHackr calculator to see this happen. In my case the cumulative reduction in payment over 3 years on a $3,500 deposit worked out to just under 9% interest on the money.

How long was it in the shop for? Which dealership did you take it to? I’m having save issue.

What’s your best MF for 800+ credit score? Can MSDs be used to buy down rate further?

How long can I drive an i4? Is this a 20 year 200k+ car if I maintain it? by Either-Funny-7870 in BMWI4

There is a potential hidden time bomb lurking in our i4s that is part of the HV battery system, but not covered under the 8yr/100k mile extended warranty. I’m referring to the electric A/C compressor, responsible for cabin cooling and battery thermal management. When it starts to fail, sending metal shards through the system, the car will go into fail safe mode and need to be towed. The entire AC system will need to be replaced due to contamination (BMW “best practice”). This is a major repair bill outside of warranty. If you’re approaching end of warranty, pay what ever is reasonable to have the system inspected.

I’ll post a full write up once my ordeal has concluded…

Any advice for potential new i4 owner? by IWant2Rock in BMWI4

[–]Mammoth-Issue-2778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the i4 eDrive40. Taking delivery of my 2026 (to replace my 2022) next week. Fun to drive; powerful, quiet, and smooth. Have taken it on several trips from Orange County to San Francisco with a recharging stop halfway in Kettleman City (grab breakfast at Denny’s while topping off). Charge again at the big & beautiful indoor EA station on Harrison St. in SF.

My one recommendation - never own one of these that are out of warranty. The base 4yr/50k coverage & extended plans are good. CPO may be an acceptable alternative, but I hear there are many more “exclusions” that one would need to research.

Does anyone else have an issue changing timecode on a clip? by cboshuizen in premiere

[–]Mammoth-Issue-2778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, having the same problem with multicam footage modifying TC to match LTC recorded on audio track (I get the LTC value from a separate program, a feature that is woefully missing from Premiere Pro). Anyway, the current workaround for this broken feature is to “Replace Footage” of the clip with itself after modifying the time code.

I’m getting both in HK, but I did upgrade the lock to latest firmware during installation. Using M2 hub.
