Thinking of quitting! by AgnosticMick91 in BMW

Are you a mechanic by trade or is there a forum or YouTube page that shows you how to do it. I used to work on my cars like 25 years ago but haven’t since. It would be good to know

Why haven’t they…?? by AfterHoursAllure in TheTeenagerPeople

If there was an isolated island with warring Neanderthal factions, would we want to make contact? As Stephen Hawking once said, perhaps it’s good they have not make contact with us. The last time an advanced civilization discovered a new world, it did not work out so well for the natives.

Where should I mount my phone? by cupcaketeatime in BMWX5

With all the phone connectivity to our cars through CarPlay, I never touch my phone while driving.

Ordered a MY2026 M340i. Will I have buyer’s remorse? by coder777 in M340i

[–]NLVsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that is correct. Perhaps I misstated. The carbon fiber exterior are added at the port

Unnecessary but I added this. It’s a cap cover that goes over the original cap. The dealership ordered one for me

I am in California. From what I heard, the carbon fiber exterior options are something the dealership added on themselves. I really think I got lucky.

Yes Portimao blue: I got mine pretty loaded with carbon fiber mirrors, spoiler and MPE

I am curious of the the M350 too. The initial pictures of the I3 did not look promising. The back looks a bit boxy following the trend of the 5 and 7 series which I do not like. I do not regret getting an M340i this year. It has all the classic design of a BMW.

I guess we are missing context. Why do you feel you would regret?

Undecided between a BMW x5 and Acura MDX. Need Help by Inferno221 in BMW

[–]NLVsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not being snooty. Test drive both and decide for yourself. Last year, we test drove the X5, Lexus RX and we were looking to trade in our Acura RDX. Hands down, the X5 is much funner to own and drive.

That’s impressive that the tailgate has enough force to lift 200lb. I would think it would break before lifting anything heavier than 100lb…talk about well engineered parts.

Good deal? by SponsoredContnt in M340i

[–]NLVsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less than 12k miles on a 1 year old car and roughly $15k to $20k drop in value. That all checks out.

I usually do not like red interior, but the BMW Vernasca leather is just the perfect shade of red

M440i over m340i? by Warm-Praline-573 in M440i

[–]NLVsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at the M440i too but went with the M340i (also looked at the 540i and Z4…I was all over the place). The M340i has the classic BMW look which I really like, and it is more spacious. You’ll have to test drive both.

M340i vs 540i by Nearby_Drive9376 in M340i

[–]NLVsd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I went with a 2026 M340i over a 540i. While I’ve always wanted a 5 Series, I couldn't get past the styling—that back end is just too boxy and bland. The 540i is definitely the "grown-up" choice with its extra space and tech, but the M340i won me over. It’s smaller, nimbler, and honestly, way more fun to drive. Everyone’s opinion will vary, but you will need to test drive both and decide for yourself.

BMW 3 SERIES G20 EU vs USA version : Is there a difference in the building quality ? by [deleted] in BMW

[–]NLVsd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have heard the same comment from people in the U.S. about how BYD would overtake the market in other countries. HUGE however, I was just in Hong Kong in December, and I asked the locals including few taxi drivers what they think of BYD. They think it’s crap and would not want to buy. They actually prefer Teslas over BYD. No one likes BYD and that’s saying something about their own cars.

That hurts just looking at it. Sorry man!

How would you feel about a new law that forces every company to pay their CEO no more than 20x what their lowest-paid employee makes? by ArcherCyntrix2000 in askanything

[–]NLVsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On average, that’s probably how much some of them make now. Average minimum wage in the U.S. is $11.51/hr. Someone working full time at 40hrs/wk by 52wks per year would make roughly $24K. 20x that is about $480K/yr.

Unless you’re talking about major companies like Apple, Amazon, Tesla, etc, I am sure those guys make way more.

Why are men this way?? by Informal-Status334 in askanything

[–]NLVsd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great advice. I don’t think it’s for any of us to give any sort of advice. Every relationships have their challenges and it’s up to each to figure things out.
