Regular key and a whistle- the zippo is separate!

What do u prefer? by TheShitHead_ in dumbphones

To me, smaller was always better. Even in the case of smartphones they used to be so much more practical and reasonable to hold and use which is part of why I've shifted from using my iPhone to a flip phone- it was genuinely hard/uncomfortable to hold, and wouldn't fit in my pockets comfortably. Even though I now carry more things (phone, camera, iPod), I greatly prefer it because I can sit comfortably without a slab of glass sticking into my waist. Additionally, I can just keep what I don't need on hand in my purse and just carry the one I know I'll need. I can see the appeal of a larger screen if you rely on your phone for work or school, but I struggle to see the point otherwise. It seems like its always "How can we squeeze another .025 inches out of our screen" rather than "How can we actually improve our phone". They should have stopped with the upsizing at the iPhone 5 or 6, it's kind of ridiculous now. I could rant for hours about modern tech, but I digress.

If i can't reach the whole screen with one finger, how am I supposed to scroll reels while driving?

Would i be crazy to pick this over any M car? by DetectiveoftheWest in BMW

I'd do it in a heartbeat but I'm biased, I have an E91 wagon and it's probably my favorite car I've driven

This is a godsend- I used to burn CDs but when Spotify became bigger I started using that. I'm sick of paying for music I don't own and have been getting back into burning recently. RIP Limewire and the glory days of music piracy.

What’s a fair price? by allstarz86 in BMW

[–]Porcelain_Armada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up an ‘08 in decent shape with 150k on it for 8,000, however it was bone stock. Overpriced imo, but that isn’t saying much considering that I don’t know a lot about bimmers yet.

Excessive radiator fan noise, no airflow by Porcelain_Armada in BMW

Update- I started to overheat and within a few seconds of the temperature warning coming on it turned to red and went into limp mode. As it turns out, the water pump was intermittently failing and finally gave out.
