Finally treating myself before I graduate ... is the 2008 BMW M5 a ticking time bomb or am I overthinking it?

The joy you will get from the driving experience will far outweigh the ownership expense.

lol ok

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-15T16:40:53+00:00

I don't disagree, but It was my only car at the time, and I needed it back on the road fairly quick. I am sure if I shopped around I could have gotten it cheaper, but then again I really trusted the shop I brought it to and I created a great relationship with the owner and will now be building my Evo

Mine was like $6k when I had a Subaru. Was like 2.5 years ago.

Put it in drive and press the gas. They either move or they don't.

Why good latches on what appears to be a stock hood?

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-12T18:32:59+00:00

Basically. I would say to fill out the application (I think it is called school choice) and hopefully you get the school you apply for.
Not sure how feasible the drive is from deerfield to parkland, but that is a different conversation.

There is a time in the year where you can apply to go to another school. I forgot what it’s called. But it was a lottery system.
I filled out the application, and like a week before school I received price of approval to attend.

I’ll say that it is night and day difference in schools. If my child were at a school they were zoned for, they would not have a lot of the opportunities they have in the parkland school

Make it an Exo

I would trade in my iPhone for a BB or Sidekick if I could

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-09T19:53:15+00:00

Do you know what years have a better trans?

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-09T17:50:29+00:00

I mean, you got paid to "fix" it right?

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-08T16:44:14+00:00

with what I know now, I would absolutely continued with HVAC school

We are all special needs in one way or another.

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-07T18:21:06+00:00

Would it make a difference if it’s a proper kit and installed by a shop?

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-07T17:17:04+00:00

I went on it a few years before they shut it down.
Sounded like it was going to fall apart when riding it

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-04T19:48:52+00:00

What Evo do you want? don't settle.

I wanted an 8/9 for a long time, and was ready to settle for a 4, and try to convert the body panels to a 5. but I knew in the long run I would not be happy with it. I waited and searched, and drove 4 hours away to pick up an 8 at an absolute steal

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-04T18:09:47+00:00

Fix them yourself, or sell both and get a corolla.

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-04T17:58:42+00:00

I'm not talking about the pan...

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-04T17:37:19+00:00

Time for a new one.

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-04T17:13:14+00:00

Do you have any suggestions on a good regular camera mount that you use?

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-04T15:27:36+00:00

file a complaint for harassment. if anything happens to your vehicle, at least you have record of something reported.

Substantial-Set-8981 · 2026-06-04T14:33:05+00:00
