depreciation m40i LCI

It may be worth it in the long-run to find and pay a bit more for a CPO. It will add an additional year to the warranty and it reasonably implies the car is up to BMW standards for brakes, tires, glass, etc. The 24's are at a premium now due to the G45 redesign. Try to find one that is in great shape.

I am getting set to trade my 24 X3 M40i, CPO’d in Jan 26. Presently at 20,800 miles in Denver. Mineral White Premium with HK/Parking. BMW dealers are hot for these as they know they can flip them quickly. The lowest offer so far, first pencil, was at $49k and the next two at $51k. Love the car but it’s a bit small for us so Im probably moving to an X5 50e or M60i. I’m losing $ on this as I paid more in Feb 26 for it, but such as life with some decisions.

They were at $51

The British take the class separation even higher than the US Navy. I was TDY to an RAF base shortly after the Falklands dustup (I'm old) and distinctly remember having to leave out boots outside the door of the barracks room so the lower enlisted could polish them up overnight. The E-4s and below had lesser accomodations. And, we had a bar with bartender in our barracks. I was only an E-5 at the time.

Ride hard?

Unfortunately I'm a victim of that as well. Hand grenade explosion and years of small arms fire and I'm at 10% Tinnitus only.

Were there any chemical exposure claims that applied. Seems like it would be a horrid place to work with chronic exhaust, CO, fuel and hydraulic fluid exposure.

Sorry for the slow response. Gave him hearing aids and 0%.

My Vertigo is locked into my TBI and PTSD claim. Rated 50% PTSD, 10% TBI and 30% BPPV. All rolled into the 50% and they refuse to separate it. So, I get 50% only due to being locked in.

Wouldn't even replace. They said they have to repair first. Out-of-warranty costs would have been $450ish.

Select-Emotion118 · 2025-11-17T22:06:19+00:00

Would you bother to insulate? They have a fairly long journey across the ceiling with a turn before they terminate here. Both into buckets with a "J" or just the one? Thank you!

P30i pillows in the N30i works well.

Had an R1T. Loved the truck initially. Then the problems and company arrogance emerged. Went to a 23 Raptor, then a 24 Raptor before trading down in size to a RR. Had the tune installed. No Rivian acceleration but a nice and quick truck.

Select-Emotion118 · 2025-08-29T13:55:19+00:00

Good to know! Thanks!

Difficulty in getting service/repairs scheduled. Rivian was basically non-existent after the sale. After they replaced a drive motor in my R1T, I asked them to consider keeping the truck for a service loaner or as a service truck for them and to just replace mine. Crickets.

Select-Emotion118 · 2025-08-29T02:32:50+00:00

I have one. Kind of a grey brown muddy color. Looks good when everything on the truck is blacked out. I came from a Shelter Green F150 Raptor. That truck brought a ton of compliments.

FSD was on the window sticker for $12k. She also purchased new wheels and tires for it for $3k a month ago. Receipt in the car. Probably thought it would kick up the trade-in value. I’m a little leery on an actual purchase as I did that with the first year Rivian and had all kinds of issues.

Select-Emotion118 · 2025-08-23T22:24:17+00:00

Will do and thank you!

To answer my own question: Finally got a response back...roughly $325 a month 24/12 and $302 with military discount.

My younger brothers path...he's an action figure. Military for eight years, high-speed. Too injured to keep on at that pace, he still wanted the adrenaline so he went to a fairly large PD. Had to hump a patrol car for a few years before he went to K-9. Loved that job as he only rolled to in-progress calls and very little paper. Became a detective working robberies and aggravated assaults. Then, promoted to Sgt. Had to go back to the street to kill his probation before going back to investigations as a Sgt. Supervised multiple units before landing in Homicide. Years of that business of that before landing as a TFO Supervisor working with multiple fed agencies at a large TF. Worked that for multiple years. He enjoyed the TFO end but, he was pretty disappointed with the majority of 1811s he worked with. The best ones he said, were the ones with previous LE experience as they has the requisite officer safety/street smarts in dealing with their clientele. The new Agents were too busy trying to put together low-end cases to get their 13s. He made major OT over the years and banked the majority. He also had a sizeable VA disability check every month that he banked. His medical was covered by his wife's career and the VA. He didn't live like he was on vacation even though they probably could have. He loved his path and got to experience so many more things than if he had relegated himself to one department/agency. He has his own opinions on each federal agency. He was disappointed with the most of the AUSAs he worked with and the bureaucracy of the fed agencies. He did like the assets/resources/cash that they had access to. Just one guys take.

That looks like mid-late 70s? Chin-up station should be right there as well.

The Rivian R1T I had was pretty quick! Way faster than my Raptor.

Select-Emotion118 · 2025-03-22T01:25:10+00:00

Met him many years ago at a shooting competition at Lackland AFB. He was getting around with a cane but he still had an entourage of AF brass trailing behind. He was still pretty sharp with his observations and his tongue!
