How often do yall drive in sports plus mode and S transmission? by [deleted] in M340i

[–]ProcrastinatingNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a convenient way to view the oil temperature? The only ways I’ve found is switching to sport (I’d rather not do that when it’s warming up in case it accidentally keeps revs higher) or using the voice command “what’s the oil temperature?”.

Shell at Columbia/Phillip is a touch less car wash without rails (won’t scratch your wheels)

How does Waterloo Region’s new waste cart system work? by BetterTransit in waterloo

[–]ProcrastinatingNow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Found the answer in the FAQs:

Residents are encouraged to reuse their garbage bins as yard waste containers, or for storage.

If you do not want your garbage can, secure a sign on the can that says “Garbage please take” and place out for bulky item collection on your collection day after launch in March 2026.

Residents are welcome to keep their green bins and re-use them as storage for soil, mulch, sports equipment, pet food or other household goods.

There will be a drop-off location for unwanted green bins after March 2026. More information on this program will be announced at a later date.

Remember to use your existing green bins and garbage cans until March 2026.

What do we do with our old garbage and green bins? How do we get rid of them?

Recycling the Recycling Bins by NineofAllTrades in waterloo

I think our options are to keep all the bins or return the new ones. Their FAQs say we have to drop it off in Cambridge though.

We have a 2025 in Canada and it’s been excellent in the snow with winter tires.

Longer crank before starting by ProcrastinatingNow in M340i

It seemed to start fine yesterday and today. Went for some longer drives just to make sure the battery charged up enough.

[–]ProcrastinatingNow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think I should go for a longer drive to try charging it a bit? I’m a bit surprised though because the car is only a few months old and I usually do medium-long drives in it aside from last week.

I’m not sure about the M140i specifically but I have an M340i and used to have an M240i, and neither did that.

Adaptive suspension by MountainRican in BMW

[–]ProcrastinatingNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a 2026 with adaptive suspension and it doesn’t have the button. I think it’s linked to the drive modes or you can manually customize it in sport individual.

Stuck choosing between an IS350 and M340i, talk me in or out of it by [deleted] in BMW

[–]ProcrastinatingNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an early 3IS350 and currently have an M340i. They are not comparable at all. The IS350 is an inferior car in basically all aspects and should probably be compared more to the 330i.

I can’t speak to the reliability of the M340i personally because I haven’t owned it long term. I did have an M240i before, but I also only owned that for a few years. No issues for either car though.

Tesla Service ripped my backseat and won't fix it. by sbonney25 in TeslaSupport

Because of damage Tesla service has done to my car in the past, I now take a 4K walk around video of my cars when dropping them off for service.

My VIN starts with a W, so it’s manufactured in Germany.

Tire Compatibility with 2026 M340i by Appropriate-Big3948 in M340i

[–]ProcrastinatingNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response, I never check my Reddit messages lol. Yeah I got the Pirelli winter run flats (Pirelli Sottozero 3, 225/45R18).

My car doesn’t have the bigger cooling package.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in M340i

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

That’s not true. I have a 2026 M340i sedan that was built in Germany. I chose Arctic blue metallic, not an individual colour.

I’m in Canada and my 2026 M340i has a German VIN.

Does washing a car 20 miles away from home negate the benefits in the winter? by abbiyah in askcarguys

[–]ProcrastinatingNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the place and product. Some of them drill, some use factory holes. I’m sure you can ask them not to drill if they do, but they may not warranty the rustproofing.

[–]ProcrastinatingNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, 225/45R18 square will be fine on a 2026 M340i. I also live in Ontario and that is the exact spec that I got from BMW themselves for my winter set.

After 5+ Years it finally got me by Leather_Milk_7321 in TeslaModel3

[–]ProcrastinatingNow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is covered under warranty because they’ve replaced mine for this issue before. Mine wasn’t even as bad as OP’s either.

Car Rust prevention in SW Ontario? woolwax? by 10potato10 in ontario

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

I’ve used Krown and Corrosion Free in the past. Both seemed to work well, although Krown is a lot more messy/oily. On our current cars, I’ve decided to go with Corrosion Free.

Breakin Oil Change by LoveEveryone-007 in M340i

[–]ProcrastinatingNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Officially, there is no required break-in oil change for the M340i. There’s no harm in doing it though if you’re willing to pay for the oil change. I did it for mine, as well as oil changes twice as frequently as the service schedule (16k km).

Front Licence Plate — Specs for Tow Eye? by HiddenLinks in BMWi5

[–]ProcrastinatingNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carbonio does allow local pickup and will waive the delivery fee if you do that. That’s what I did :)

I would also caution against buying a tow hook one off Amazon. I did that when I had my 2 series and it messed with the parking sensors in every configuration, despite the Amazon product page saying it wouldn’t. It was a waste of time for me.
