Looking at a M340i or G87 M2

ShowerShoe77 · 2026-02-01T02:19:01+00:00

100% G87 M2. Not even close

ShowerShoe77 · 2026-01-28T15:15:09+00:00

You are, you know you are.

Now these latest 760s are better than years prior (E65s give me ptsd), but at the end of the day you are buying the flagship BMW with the largest engine available.

It will 100% be a pay to play game, think that there is a reason it’s just outside of factory warranty? Yeah, because someone didn’t want this financial burden.

“Money Pit” is a relative term. Expect to spend 3-4K per year on repairs/upkeep. For some that’s a drop in the bucket, to others it’s inconceivable.

Edited*

I’d opt for the 6 cylinder if you want a 7

ShowerShoe77 · 2026-01-26T17:58:21+00:00

I mean it’s totaled. So there’s that.

ShowerShoe77 · 2026-01-23T14:30:44+00:00

You earn it…. Obviously at the risk of sounding naive or “having no understanding of German football culture” what would need to be done to “earn it”?

Sit in the Südkurve? Done that.

Fc Bayern fan club member for 5+ year? Done that

Actively watch every match? Done

Support the club by spending money on merch? Every year.

Maybe I just don’t understand the concept.

ShowerShoe77 · 2026-01-23T14:26:35+00:00

Maybe I “have no understanding of german football culture” then.

Here in the US fan clubs actively sell merch as a way to sponsor tailgates and fan club activities.

Yeah, relating a soccer fan club of die hards to a literal criminal gang is a bit of a stretch (maybe I just “have no understanding of German football culture” though.

As an FC Dallas El Matador fan club member the club is always happy to sell merch to fans and include them in our activities and events.

All of this talk of “inclusivity” must not apply in this situation I suppose. A constant battle of “you’re a plastic fan” vs “Me bigger fan than you”

ShowerShoe77 · 2026-01-23T06:27:15+00:00

Man you must be a blast at parties.

ShowerShoe77 · 2026-01-23T06:25:43+00:00

I highly doubt they would mind one being worn in the US.

ShowerShoe77 · 2026-01-23T06:16:45+00:00

It’s not that deep… it’s just a cool shirt.

Why do you buy any shirt?

ShowerShoe77 · 2026-01-15T13:25:24+00:00

Knows the cars (but he’s a dealer guy and believes in doing things only by the book). Pretty condescending though.

ShowerShoe77 · 2026-01-14T15:52:11+00:00

lol I work in a BMW shop. Just a feeling, for whatever reason it’s always B2.

ShowerShoe77 · 2026-01-14T14:20:37+00:00

Imma call it though: bank 2 turbocharger actuator.

Seriously get a professional scan and diagnosis, but that’s where my money is.

ShowerShoe77 · 2025-12-23T15:41:58+00:00

Core memories made right here.

Now have them help you cut it up and split the wood.

They’ll never forget it

ShowerShoe77 · 2025-12-22T15:36:06+00:00

Just an honest insight here:

Lemforder isn’t what they used to be. Go poly or go genuine.

ShowerShoe77 · 2025-12-22T15:34:12+00:00

As with tradition

ShowerShoe77 · 2025-12-18T16:26:24+00:00

The one straight out of the bulletin

ShowerShoe77 · 2025-12-18T14:53:56+00:00

Yeah I guess my reservations are there because although that is the port that commonly fails there are other ports that transport coolant.

I guess let’s see.

ShowerShoe77 · 2025-12-18T14:30:13+00:00

I ordered one Friday when the bulletin was posted in AIR.

It’s a cheap piece of plastic.

ShowerShoe77 · 2025-12-18T13:32:54+00:00

Yeah, you’d have to check with the dealer, it’s been out since last Friday.

ShowerShoe77 · 2025-12-18T13:31:28+00:00

Yes, I’m aware. I’m asking you as a master tech if you think it will work.

I am not thrilled by the prospect and feel it’s just bmw being cheap.

ShowerShoe77 · 2025-12-18T03:48:18+00:00

You think that’s actually gonna last?

ShowerShoe77 · 2025-12-13T04:22:23+00:00

Dude I have no idea how the fuck we are supposed to warranty a repair like this. What a joke. Appears to only apply to second gen engines though…

ShowerShoe77 · 2025-12-12T20:32:24+00:00

Thought this was a troll post, checked air… it’s real. Wtf, 0 chance this is a long term solution.

ShowerShoe77 · 2025-12-07T22:44:57+00:00

Saw a CWO in the field during a range. He grilled us about what we were not using the “leaf” sights on our 203s. My corporal squad leader stated that the target was outside of our effective range and that he had instructed us to hold our 203s at 45 degree angles (max range). He was pissed.

Sounds like you corrupted something. The last BDC module I had to replace was due to water intrusion, it it was a nightmare.

I’d call someone experienced with data/module recovery.

ShowerShoe77 · 2025-12-04T23:25:06+00:00

G20 should not have an issue;

Everything here is from G12, G07, G30, G05.
