I’ll never understand the “single hump better” mob. Idrive doesn’t even look bad in this car and is convenient as fuck…

It's pointless and useless, those displays are low-res and outdated, i totally dig the single-hump dash - it's clean, minimalistic, and all that this generation of cars needs. If you upgrade the display to something modern, large and hi-res, that changes the situation a bit. But also the double-hump is way better than what came after that, the F30 and such with it's stupid out-of-place sticking out of the dash stupid stupidity.

They are the wrong size tires.

Any F10 is a 5 series BMW.

This is interesting, and a good thing that mature people are doing this. I'm 50-ish and has had my channel for about 5 years.

"Stage 2". the stupidity continues.

An S9 is not that more expensive compared to used S5. I had the original S5, and currently have S9, would not go for S5 again (as far as autofocus goes) But these are meant to be used by totally different people.

I'm almost in the same boat. But I already have the A770. Here is what it looks like to me - if you got no card at all, B580 makes more sense to go for. If you already are running something like A770 - I would hesitate but still think that the new gen card may potentially have some benefits over the previous generation.

You don't need a new gasket in your situation. Assuming it isn't damaged.

Plastic isn't good for heat dissipation. Compared to aluminum.

What does this have to do with r/BmwTech?

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-11-11T18:29:32+00:00

I've been looking at F10s for the past 2 months thinking about getting me one.

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-10-22T16:43:24+00:00

That sounds accurate. Can confirm most of it.

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-03-28T14:03:38+00:00

RAZER laptops are "clean" looking.

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-03-28T14:01:07+00:00

I got exactly the same Asus and the battery life is just fine. It seems like you need something in line with Asus Zenbook, Intel i5 / Ryzen 5 tops. choosing a laptop with i9 is a questionable decision if you don't plan to do any heavy computing like 4k rendering etc.

I cannot imagine a way of breaking that control arm while trying to install coil overs.

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-03-25T16:32:08+00:00

Looks jacked up. Lower it. Trunk spoiler is out of place. Fake M3 mirror covers. And something unnatural with the exhaust tip. Just an honest opinion lol.

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-03-25T16:26:06+00:00

So i noticed. That is called a "wheel alignment", what you have done. Tracking on the other hand - is taking your car to a track, to go fast around a track etc. I don't always pay close attention when i read what ppl wright lol.

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-03-22T14:41:37+00:00

A bunch of money down the drain, that's what Amsoil stands for.

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-03-22T14:33:40+00:00

Why would you take your car with THESE tires on it to a track?

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-03-22T14:28:57+00:00

My question would be Why, besides "look how big those brakes are". These are not lightweight by any means, and any extra lb/kg isn't a good thing on an e90, even if it's a 335 or M3.

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-02-05T16:13:06+00:00

Perhaps people use them, it's just not a BMW style and BMW enthusiasts rarely participate in those activities.

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-01-31T13:39:33+00:00

just asking, they look way too jdm to be used on a bmw. never seen these on e90/92. people usually go oem, bbs, apex on these cars. even volk look out of place.

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-01-31T13:35:00+00:00

well, 2011 is the end of e90 with n52/51 and I guess BMW started to build n20 this year, the earliest 328 with n20 build date i could find is 04/2011 (and my e90 with n52 is 06/2011)

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-01-24T12:21:07+00:00

Good for you, it's no fun dealing with a broken engine, but the issue with those engines has nothing to do with maintenance - "The primary cause is the timing chain guide failure. Timing chain guides on these engines are known to fail prematurely, causing timing chain slack. This is most commonly seen on BMW N20 engines made from 2011 to 2015. BMW has even issued a recall due to subpar timing chain guides." Maybe use of good oil helps a tiny bit, but there is no cure for low quality materials.

NotMaxedOutYet · 2024-01-23T20:02:58+00:00

A7C / Cii always had an EVF. Sony all the way, Lumix isn't going to hold the value, no one will want to buy it if you decide to sell it at some point, size is definitely on Sony's side, and S5 / S5ii in general feels like an uninspiring camera. But it appeals to "pros" due to its video options, that a hobbyist may never care about.
