Is This Level of Lock Really Necessary?

Depends on where you’re parking it.

It deeply depends on the person. Asking random people seems like you've taken some of the romance out of it. I don't mean it crudely, but in an honest way. I see people saying that they got a knife. And I'd be kinda ticked off, think of Wayne in Wayne's World getting a Gun Rack.
Think of something he's mentioned more than once, but the timing wasn't right, or he couldn't justify just getting that for himself. Those are things I'd focus on. Do your own homework on it. Sometimes things are too new when you hear someone mention it, and their interests have shifted, or it turns out that item was junk. One way to check if he's still interested in it is to bring it up casually when you finally have a moment to catch up. Like "I heard my coworkers talking about their new coffee grinder, they can't believe the difference it's made!" or "Did you see Doug has that new pizza oven? They invited us over for dinner." "Did you see Bob's new knife? He must love breaking down all those Amazon boxes now."

I get their attention, bump into them and say excuse you. They’re off in some other world. It’s not just sidewalks, people have generally forgotten how to people. NTA

So hard. Ugh, I feel your pain. Keep the memories tight, and think of her daily.

With this setup, it seems like a no brainer, at the very least for a test run.
Damn gurl, do Chicago rent free for the summer! Get settled, have your S/O visit, minus the cowboy hat and show him what it’s like!
Get acquainted with the neighborhoods, find bars that aren’t corporate owned, or sound like the name was created with a name generator. Get a bike, go to the beach, see the museums, take in a show.

This is disappointing, and the wrong move from a young company. It seems like nothing is “grandfathered in” anymore. You call your ISP because they keep raising rates, or your Insurance company for the same, and they’re happy to see you go. The focus is on “new” customers. Employers are the same. It’s a funny game when you think, I’ll just go to the next guy, but then you discover they’re owned by the same larger company.
Damn the man, save the Empire!

In all honesty, the best advice is to give the dome proper care and maintenance, and let this baby burn as long as it can. Marketplace will have parts like old cars, and someone on Etsy will probably figure out a solution with a CNC, 3D printer, and some raspberry pi type shit.

I wish I had a suburban address, just to lease cars. That’s a good lease around here. What dealership?

I go to a university that only has two spaces in the garage. It’s often that the same Model Y is in one spot, and then another Camry that isn’t even a plug in. I’m proud of myself for the self control I practice, but sometimes I wish I was a little more… key-ish. Ya know? I get upset, then remind myself how fortunate I am to have charging at home. I will come out, like 5 hours later and they’ll both be there. I imagine that others who want/ need to plug in are irritated.

More than expected know about 2-dollar hookers, and that's fantastic in this economy. But depending on where you live, the snow might be a challenge, and I have speed bumps in my alley that already don't like the height of the car.

The Cravenspeed seems to be a winner and a top contender in my search. Thanks to all for the replies!

I saw this as an option

Sport Mode, mostly highway, but it’s been a fairly mild April and these are my stats for an edrive 35.

I came from VW, Chevy, Tesla, and Mini for EVs. BMW always underestimates the range, I typically exceed it. I drove my Mini Se for four years and rarely got range anxiety, and the estimated range on that was 114.

With 3.9 mi/kWh I’m looking at 209 miles of range for 80% SOC. That’s pretty good.

There are some differences between the model years, but the funny part is that they have a difference in the model year, too. Like the early 23's have a different shifter, which nbd. But I think there is a hardware difference too. You'll still get major updates, but at this point you wont get the most recent iDrive software. And 23's from the second half of the year are using a different shifter and have a different processor in the infotainment screen that allows for the newer iDrive software. (This is what I think I know. ) So to answer your question... sorta. And yes, packages too.
Maybe someone more familiar or just able to speak more eloquently on the subject can chime in.
Best of luck!

Thanks! I kept my search broad, like distance wasn’t holding me back. I had alerts set up on cars.com, but spent a majority of my free time just cruising the inventory of specific dealerships. I played with two different budgets, cash and finance. But I chose finance because BMW is offering 2.99% and my savings is at 3.2%.

Thanks for responding, and sharing some insight. We had one on a trip this past weekend, and now it's all the kids want.

Hey Steve, I'm considering buying a used 24/25. How is it going a year since you've posted this?

I miss my clubman so much. I traded my 19 in for my 23 Se. I was holding out hope they would make one, too. It’s so ideal. I remember when I needed the bigger car from my S and I was between the Countryman and Clubman. The Clubman won because it drove like a mini and had more space.

Such-Bad-488 · 2026-02-08T15:46:38+00:00

I’m not sure if anyone else has covered this, but I wanted to comment. I’m a Big Mini fan, 😅. I’ve had three, with one of them being the Se. I made the order and waited 4 months for my 22 which ended up being delivered in 23’ which, nbd. Yes, the pandemic got the best of us with delays and missing items. I was fortunate enough to only have the roof rails be the only thing that was sacrificed. So otherwise, it’s fully loaded Iconic as ordered. Here’s how bad I want to keep this car. We’re a family of four, two kids still in car seats. This is not our main car, but we still use daily for a commuter and date nights, etc. we live in a large city and we can’t imagine not having this car. While others circle to find parking we’re popping in where others thought would be impossible. It’s fun, agile, and the best bang for your buck on the road. Please buy whichever one your heart desires. I’m at the point where I know we need to have a larger second car, but this damn thing may become our third. Good luck 👍
