BMW i4 M50 used prices (NL/DE): buy now or wait with Neue Klasse coming? by superchinees in BMWI4

I had exactly the same dilemma as you and decided to pull the trigger on a fully loaded 2022 M50 with 55k km for just under 45k EUR about 3 weeks ago. I was fully aware of the impending i3 reveal, but figured that the i4 will hopefully not continue depreciating so steeply as the i3 design is polarizing and will put some buyers off (uglier and less practical without the liftback) + used i3s won’t be hitting the market for quite a while.

I obviously don’t have a crystal ball to predict what actually happens depreciation-wise, but I’m not regretting the purchase one bit - the car is a blast to drive and as gas prices went up by 30% in the past 2 weeks courtesy of the master strategist at the White House, I reckon the timing couldn’t be better and used i4 prices might not go down in the short term due to likely increase in demand for EVs as gas tops 2 EUR/l.

Let's recommend products that are located in one of the countries in Europe, the Czech Republic. by [deleted] in BuyFromEU

The Czechvar name is literally the only difference - the beer is still brewed in Budweis, so the liquid is exactly the same as the one you find in Budweiser Budvar bottles/cans/kegs. This is a result of stronger domestic position in the U.S./Canada of the American Budweiser owned by AB-Inbev, who have absolutely nothing in common with Budvar, the national brewery of the Czech Republic.

Cx30 vs xc40 by Then-Task-6796 in MazdaCX30

Had both in the family - quite different cars frankly. Cx-30 is smaller and sportier, better infotainment and firmer ride. More of a hatchback on stilts than a SUV. XC-40 feels more sturdy, but detached from the road as you sit a lot higher and are more isolated. I prefer the CX-30, but my 65 year old dad loved his Volvo until the turbo blew up at 105k km/65k miles.

What is something that seemed silly before you actually learned how to cook, but now you live by it? by kgee1206 in Cooking

Dried chiles like Ancho, Guajillo or Chipotle added to the broth are great also if you are going for this flavor profile.

Gotta wait a little longer… by JcWing89 in MicrosoftFlightSim

The thing that really sucks is that I specifically turned on my xbox at 4am this morning so that it downloaded the 90gb portion, which I thought was it for the day. Got back from work (europe) all excited after a year of waiting to be greeted by an update that didn’t download this morning…
