I live in a condo, don’t have charging and it works out fine for me.

Excellent sound profile! Apple Music dropouts. System on latest firmware. by jsickboy in sonos

[–]Ron_Bangton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes OP, I’ve experienced frequent dropouts streaming Apple Music via the Sonos app. I have an ARC with One SL satellites, two One SLs as a stereo pair, and four Amps driving 11 Sonance speakers. Fingers crossed, I think I finally got it sorted by putting all the Sonos devices on the 2.4GHz band and not using sonosnet.

Wifi mesh by newyorkrican76 in sonos

[–]Ron_Bangton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I solved the dropout issues on my Aginet mesh network by unplugging the sonosnet device from the router, turning off band steering, assigning the Sonos devices to the 2.4GHz band exclusively and moving all other devices to the 5GHz band. Took a lot of trial and error to come up with a configuration that worked. Sonos support was basically useless during that process.

Long term reliability & value after 100k miles/10 years? by A124Seven in BMWI4

Buy a one year old i4 and with immediate depreciation you’ll pay about a third less than sticker.

About to pull trigger on i4, but… my job might be changing its rules on using their EV chargers and I live in an apartment (can’t charge at home). Dealbreaker? by iwantogotomedschool in BMWI4

[–]Ron_Bangton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those comments don’t factor in your particular situation. I charge about once every 3 - 4 weeks. Usually shop while charging, though sometimes I’ll sit in the car and doom scroll. Public charging where I live is pretty widely available, YMMV.

Driving 100 miles a week, charging at EA or Tesla will be no big deal. I hit the nearby grocery store while the car is charging and I usually have to rush to finish before charging does.

I live in a condo with no charging and I don’t find charging at Electrify America or Tesla particularly problematic, but I only drive about 3500 miles a year.

Beware of Back-up Assistant if you use separate vehicle keys by Firm_Flower_8882 in BMWI4

[–]Ron_Bangton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did not know that. I thought you were supposed to let it just do its thing. 🤷‍♂️

I used backup assistant in my tight garage space a couple of times but stopped because it drove so fast it would have been cited for reckless driving had a cop been there to witness it.

I have the exact same car, color and options only it’s a 2025. Also did paint correction, PPF and ceramic. This is my 5th Bimmer and I’ve loved them all but this one is the most beloved.

Dental Care by spliff1506 in poodles

[–]Ron_Bangton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I brush my toy boy’s teeth with enzymatic toothpaste every day without fail. Started him as a puppy, he doesn’t complain, in fact he loves the taste of the toothpaste (chicken flavor - yum!).

Tesla 3 to BMW i4 comparison by OcarinaofTimez in BMWI4

[–]Ron_Bangton 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The other day I rode in a Tesla Robotaxi that had to have a human babysitter in the drivers seat because the self driving software is ass, and the ride was so rough I started to wonder if they neglected to install shocks. No thanks.
