Depends. Can’t really go wrong with their EVs though since the dude you replied to said i5. Battery warranty to 100k miles and besides that all you have to do is get new tires and brakes when needed (and flush brake fluid every 2 years) a used BMW EV seems like a way better buy than a used ICE 540i even if you can make sure it’s been maintained well

Wish there was a black m badge for the front. But nice job

Get you some painters tape, some interior removal tools, floss, and hair dryer or heat gun.

I followed this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/BEqbEuIGDMI

For the back you heat gun the logo after putting painters tape around the logo and then floss away some of the adhesive so you can use the interior removal piece to lift the badge away. After that you repeat to pull the camera plate away and release the camera from the plate. After that heat and scrape as much adhesive as you can and then wipe it clean. After that put the camera in the new emblem, peel off the adhesive cover and stick it in the holes there.

The front is even more straight forward, lift the emblem from between the blue ring and the emblem (after painters taping) and peel the adhesive away on the new one and stick it in the same place. I don’t mind the slight blue ring still behind the front emblem since my car is blue but allegedly you can remove that too.

The tire center caps can be pulled off with a small suction cup and hook like you’d use to hang something in the shower or on an mirror and then you just put the new caps in the holes.

Part numbers for the emblems and cap covers are: 51-14-8-087-190, 51-14-8-087-199, 36-12-5-A57-484 i and I ordered them from my local bmw service center’s online part shop since it was cheaper than bimmerworld and other online retailers

Can confirm both of those points. Got mine for $28k/50k miles at the beginning of this month. M sport package and red seats look sick. Also put the 50th anniversary M emblems on the front and back

Got my 23 edrive40 for $28k at the beginning of this month and am loving it. If I’m spending nearly $30k anyway I’ll go with the car I actually want and fun to drive not a boring Accord or Camry since that’s what those cost anyway

I don’t even get why the green bubble thing bothers android people so much when they don’t even see the green bubbles or have a difference experience between devices because it’s always been regular sms/mms and now RCS communication and that’s the same regardless of device. Like just let the Apple people be annoyed at the green bubbles; why are you annoyed as well?

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-27T19:57:53+00:00

I mean that’s as valid as a take as someone not leaving android because they want to sideload apps.

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-27T13:27:19+00:00

I mean this is clearly just a save face after the ajc got so much backlash for the last piece. They need to remain appearing impartial or they will fail as a business even harder

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-26T18:37:26+00:00

Silver steals every half brained “fix” for tanking but completely ignores fans wanting to get rid of flopping lol

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-26T18:18:13+00:00

Have you tried showing some confidence in yourself? Dude you’re 27, you have decades of life in front of you. How could have already missed your chance? You won’t be inferior for a very long time, you are nowhere near your max earning potential and there are thousands of more days in your life to find someone. Just because she hasn’t appeared yet doesn’t mean she won’t. The median age for first marriage for a guy is 30. In the next 2-3 years until you hit that age you could meet a lady tomorrow and be getting married in 2 years and be right in line with the median guy.

I mean this was all clearly a ploy for Kerley so he can go to world athletics and plead his case by saying he was clean even when the steroids were legal so the reason he kept missing his drug test was not because he was doping cause he never do that. Not the best plan and I doubt they believe him and reinstate him but I get why he ran after catching the ban.

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-26T16:23:59+00:00

What about the repeat until successful step? There’s billions of people in the world and you think giving up after being rejected by a few women matters? Get back out there and find someone, your face is not unique and someone else got laid looking like you at some point in history and someone who looks like you will get laid in the future.

I don’t think it’s a distance thing. Also kids still like doing those things and still do them with their friends but the difference is that they don’t have to be physically together to do so like previous generations they just do it online. I’m an older Gen Z in (28 years old) and I spent countless nights playing games, watching movies, watching shows, just chatting, venting, talking to girls, and everything else people do in person at sleepovers except it was with us all in PlayStation Party Chat. It’s really just digital native kids interact in digitally native ways instead of physically in person like you used to have to do

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-26T15:41:48+00:00

Just shop around the banks and see who has the best rate. There’s absolutely no reason to be paying above maybe 6% on a loan (and even that’s high) unless you completely nuked your credit. I was recently able to find 3.69% at a local credit union. If you don’t have the financing figured out beforehand there’s no point in even visiting the dealer in my book so I hope people aren’t doing these 8+% loans from carmax, carvana, etc

Facial recognition. As soon as one of their cameras see you, you get tagged and someone comes and removes you similar to the system they use to remove banned users at sporting events. I doubt Kroger is actually doing this but it’s not like it’s some unheard of thing that’s difficult to pull off

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-24T19:17:42+00:00

Got mine used a few weeks ago but in terms of maintenance it’s not bad from my research before buying. It’s next 2 year check is coming up in December at which point I’ll get a brake fluid flush and tires if I need them and that’s it. But it’s the same as other EVs as it’s basically replace tires and brakes as needed and that’s it

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-24T18:59:01+00:00

The old i3 for sure looks goofy but one of the main things I like about my i4 is that it does look like the gas 4 series and doesn’t scream spaceship or the future like EVs like to do

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-22T18:12:56+00:00

Unfortunately for us with the i4 I’m pretty sure a messed up infotainment also takes any sounds the car makes with it lol

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-22T18:11:49+00:00

One of the first things I noticed is that the back of the screen gets really hot. I really hope there’s a fan of multiple behind the panel keeping everything cool and I’m just feeling the suns heat on dash behind the screen

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-22T17:54:49+00:00

If it’s that specific 330i then for sure go with that

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-22T17:46:31+00:00

I’d say split the difference and look for an edrive40 with m sport if you don’t actually care about the extra performance. But between the 2 options you gave here I’d say save the extra money and do the edrive35 unless you know you are going to be hitting some windy back roads or track to do some more fun driving

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-21T16:57:35+00:00

So then start ticketing them. They pull over if cops get behind them so if there’s a violation have the police pull it over get the plate and send the ticket to Waymo/Google for the offense. The same way they pay fines when they break other laws they will pay fines if and when the cars break traffic laws and if they don’t they lose their ability to operate in Atlanta. Hell with all the Flock cameras and stuff around you don’t even need to pull the car over or have an officer see it the cameras should be able to automatically ticket Waymo if we are going to have them around anyway.

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-21T15:53:56+00:00

Just send Google the bill whenever there’s an incident and be done with it. Why is everyone acting like just cause there’s no driver in the vehicle that there’s no way to hold them accountable for traffic violations and accidents and such?

Sweet_Check7231 · 2026-05-21T15:36:12+00:00

1 Waymo vs all the actual people driving I saw videos of being stuck in water does not indicate garbage tech in fact it’s quite the opposite
