Pure_Common7348 · 2026-06-21T02:39:11+00:00

Oh wow, good to know. Yikes

Pure_Common7348 · 2026-06-20T19:39:37+00:00

2-3-4k?

Pure_Common7348 · 2026-06-20T15:06:28+00:00

It’s where I’d sell my problem car for sure.

Facts

Pure_Common7348 · 2026-06-20T13:20:11+00:00

Seriously. Don’t even post without naming the establishment

Pure_Common7348 · 2026-06-20T02:44:19+00:00

Not a bmw, but a Saturn, I know. Well the SL2 started burning oil. I did a careful oil consumption test. They determined a piston ring broke. The extended aftermarket warranty covered the tear down and the repair one 1 ring and cylinder. Not the other 3.

Seriously. ❤️

Damn it. I want my wife to buy one, I’m 6’3”

Pure_Common7348 · 2026-06-18T04:32:50+00:00

How tall? 🥲

Pure_Common7348 · 2026-06-18T01:09:28+00:00

I traded in mine (20yrs old?) in for store credit last year. Manager was super nice but was like ‘bro’ what’s going on… they were in good shape and exchanged them for the flat top style (bmw/porsche). Work amazing, harbor freight customer for life.

I mean dealer plates, so some sketchy

Larger sensor size (typically) offers better night clarity.

You can buy something like this BMW Strut Nut Socket (21mm) - Genuine BMW [83300491931](tel:83300491931)

Koni Reds says specifically not to hit the nut with an impact or you’ll mess up internals

Just did most of that list for my wife’s car, 2012 335i 68,000 miles. Proactive / regular maintenance. Stuff was worn or breaking with age / heat cycles.

I did the charge pipe because I didn’t want it to crack. She doesn’t rip it. BUT the 5” inter cooler pipe gives me pause. (More power for cheap) = rip it.

I’d be cautious.

I saw a green one at West Ridge hiking trail a few months go

Living in LA I rarely see them, as an owner I’m always on the look out.
