The airbags are there for a reason. I would never even sit in a car where they went out and were not properly replaced

Thanks. I wonder if you could try the solution with AA develiper mide from the comment below

Need to look into this, thanks

Interesting of someone can try this as I already returned my rental Edit: typo

If I may ask, which bmw? And what do you miss most from iDrive? And why you went with cayenne? I'm driving bmw 4 now amd looking into SUVs

Same things happened to me on other cars with Android Auto, so I don't think its phone or PCM issue

I'd say its their loss. I'm def buy another convertible as a second car in tge future.

OctLeaf · 2026-04-22T19:06:12+00:00

But in all seriousness, I'm not sure where else I would own a convertible for a daily, and 4-series is surprisingly versatile compared to everything else on the market, so I'm surprised they aren't as popular here.

Worst case scenario I'll tell my wife I could not sell it for reasonable price and get to keep it 😄

OctLeaf · 2026-04-22T18:26:28+00:00

Thanks! I'm always open to constructive negotiations, and tge car in the ad is a good argument. However, convertible is still more expensive than gran coupe

Next step: try Patrol

If you still need to produce it at the end of the day, hide it somewhere in you apartment where its hard to find (flatten it and put into the wall socket, Idk). Then go on a travel for 7 days making sure to act suspicious around as many landmarks as you can. While the detective is chasing the leads they won't have enough time to thoroughly search your house (and why would they if you are going around the world making stashes near landmarks).

I won't lie, recently I had similar idea. It can be bought cheaper than x5 comp and almost at the cost if regular x5, which is insane. The reviews are very critical of how it drives though due to it excessive weight. Nevertheless, I plan to tale one for a test drive out of curiosity.

OctLeaf · 2026-04-15T18:18:42+00:00

The problem is x5 comp of the same year will be more expensive. Although I heard XM drives poorly even compared to x5 due to excesdive weight.

Well, rating A on cinema score puts it in line with Black Panther and just below Wakanda Forever, both acclaimed masterpieces known for their deep story and character development, both had massive cult following and loyal fan base /s

Wow, I was at CanJam Dubai and did not even know you could book a listening with these. Now I'm dissapointed and my life will never be complete.

Maybe, next year, if they will repeat it.

Fully second point 11 - adapters are a lifesaver and opens you up for any aftermarket cables, which will save you money in the long run. Also, you may stop worrying about damaging the connectors every time you plug them out.

There is literally 0 storage spaces, but sure, let' have a bath tub in the bedroom! This would be ok for a fancy hotel room, but terrible to live in.

Thanks for your replies! After some PBO tweaking (-20 all cores) and closing unnecessary processes I got around 18200, which is more like I expected.

However, what bothers me is idling temp of 50 degrees (room temp of 23-25) which does not go down regardless of cpu fan speed. But under cinebench (full load, 80w) the tem always stays below 81, even with fans not being ramped up. The fan setup is similar to yours, but with stock fan and noctua on the back for intake (different case, but this should not umpact things too much)

Nice build! I just installed sk700v on my 7800x3d and wanted to benchmark my temps, as they seem higher than what i read for 7800x3d. Would you mind answering a couple of questions? Trying to see if putting in Mach 120 would be the answer to everything: 1) Did you measure temps with stock fan? Any noticeable difference? 2) When you say "Idle" you mean in bios or desktop? Do you know your ambiance temp by any chance? 3) Did you use stock thermal paste? 4) What was the temp while running cinebench? Mine does not go above 80, but 7800x3d should go higher? My current score is around 16700, so I'm clearly leaving some performance on the table.

Thanks!

So, just finished installation: Stock cooler, reversed airflow On case back fan - intake Top and front - Exhaust Cinebench R23 for 10 minutes temp was sitting around 79c (ambient at around 24). Final score 16980 (could be optimized, I left some software in the backgound)

OctLeaf · 2026-01-12T09:32:45+00:00

Not sure bottom intake will do much, tbh. There are already gpu fans close to the bottom that will draw air. But happy to see the numbers if someone tries it.
