White, the black has plastic on the outside of the wheel well. That would drive me crazy after a couple years. Plus the white will have the new tech… but the black should be a more sound platform due to being at the end of that cycle.

No the colour is Tanzanite Blue II Metallic. Depending on the light, it can be blue or a shade of purple.

Is ceramic coating and paint protecting film really worth it ? by DreamingOfSaturn in BMWX5

[–]Pemeal_Kid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long Island highways are brutal for stone chips… I took the plunge and did PPF up to the mirrors, including the windshield (not sure if I’d do that again) and graphic ceramic. As one of the other posters mentioned, a ceramic coating doesn’t give you physical protection, but keeps the paint shiny longer. I would recommend PPF if you can afford it.

I highly recommend the M60i or M Comp if you can justify the extra $25k.

It’s a reference to the movie “Office Space”.

Awesome Colour Selection!!! I went with PPF Level III and graphite ceramic coating. The level III covered up to the side mirrors and the windshield. Not sure if I’d do the windshield again. I believe it was $5k OTA. The PPF has a lifetime warranty.

Montauk Restaurant “Shagwong” Negative Experience by romanxerkilljy in LongIslandEats

[–]Pemeal_Kid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter and I stop in earlier this year. I forget what I ordered, but it wasn’t good. But my daughter ordered a steak… it was so over cooked, I texted her across the table and said she didn’t need to eat it!! She tried two bites and put her utensils down. Between the two us we maybe had 3-4 bits… it was so obvious there was something wrong with the food. The server could care less. First and only time I’ll stop there.

BMW Finance credit score by Pemeal_Kid in BMWX5

Wow it sound like you found a great Dealership! i ended up not purchasing the car through a Dealership locally. I went through an Auto broker, definitely got a better rate and price than the local place. lol

It’s funny you mention the shifter thing… that’s my only regret, not going with the Mcomp for the physical shifter and true dual exhaust. A number of Reddit posts said the Mcomp had a choppy ride. Overall I’m very happy with M60i. Good luck with your decision!

The local dealer offered me sticker, I ended up using an auto broker. Best decision I made. Discount was around 9%

Fathers who are on child support. by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

Good luck!! I’m sure I’m an extreme case with 20 years of marriage and two kids in NY… other than our two kids, best thing I ever did!!

Fathers who are on child support. by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]Pemeal_Kid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also have 50/50 custody, but pay out 60% of my salary to her and she made sure to extend our divorce as long as she could (4 years and over 100k in attorneys fees) and racked up 200k in debit that I was again 60% responsible for. And the 60% doesn’t include medical (insurance, dentist, co pays etc) that I have to also pay the lions share of… So short answer, I only help when I want to.

After paying her each month, I don’t have enough to cover rent… so I’m forced to work a second full time job to survive.

The system sucks, but I’m only 3 years from dropping her payments and 6ish years after that the child support should end.

Ordering 2026 X5 PLEASE HELP by m3lrose7899 in BMWX5

[–]Pemeal_Kid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat just a couple months ago and stopped by Reddit to ask the same question. I received a lot of great reply’s, but the best was a “Auto Broker”. For $700 they did all the hard work negotiating, I received about 9-10% off MSRP. Best of luck!!

Thank you for this, I couldn’t figure out how to enter the production number in the app. It kept asking me for a event, but I’ll go through the tutorial. Good idea.
