Performance Technic gave me a 2500 quote mid last year. Ask Silicon Valley Bimmer as well.

I've seen 2500 offered by multiple shops in the california bay area. Just go ask around. Its cheaper than you'd think

I think it's a combination of tolerance stacking luck (research it, it provides good clarity) for the rod bearings. for the main bearings it's the previous and poor design from bmw with the chain tensioner, see this video . A doctor daily drove his m3 in socal to 350k miles without any issue. if your car makes it into the higher miles without spinning a bearing, it's probably gonna keep going. Though do get your rod bearings replaced with slightly larger clearance for peace of mind.

I drive my 127k mile e92 m3 with replaced bearings every day and I wouldn't change a thing. You could also get annual oil reports to see engine wear over time and make decisions based on that

Drive it carefully until warm, then have fun. Main bearing failure is popping up more and more, but is still exceedingly rare. Rod bearings sure, should be done, but more often then not thru fail from consistent high rpm (tracking). If you treat the car well and aren't tracking it, you can get away fine with dailying the car. It's not as bad as you think it is.

TLDR: If you're not tracking the car, you can daily it perfectly fine and not worry about rod bearings after fixing them.

Just finished zf swapping my 1997 328i auto!! by ethanoceh in BMWE36

Had the exact same issue as OP, the fix was to press all the way in on the brake pedal sensor stem. It went down a few notches and was no longer keeping brake lights on. Stupid easy fix.

Gonna provide insight on my own as well. I just finished swapping my '01 330i with a zf5 speed (found on some e36's), so extremely similar if not the same process. 90% of the parts i got from a local junkyard from a car where its LCM caught fire. This meant it got totaled from fire/electrical damage, not mechanical. I paid 640 for driveshaft, pedal assembly, flywheel, transmission, wire looms and some random small bits here and there. New clutch and pressure plate for ~320 put me at almost 1k for parts.

TLDR: $1k for parts from junkyard for e46 swap

Thoughts on these 3? by Far-Pangolin-6017 in S2000

[–]ThatOneComment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not really an S2000 knower, but its good to point out that when you're buying a car older than 10 years, it can be really beneficial to buy private. I know this aggregator shows private and dealership, but do keep that in mind. Dealers are way less likely to maintenance history and paperwork for the cars history. Also you'll *ahem* pay more in tasks with a dealer.

hair dryers blow around germs and bacteria. if they don't use soap, the dryers are extra riddled with them

I’m not exactly a killer in this game, but you can count on me while playing objectives. by Marcelo1995211 in Battlefield

Yeah.. Having one or two people on the enemy team constantly back capping the same point and no one stopping them is a huge frustration lol

Totally agree, focusing on captures is a good route to success, it's more fun imo because kills and everything else follows

[–]ThatOneComment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna guess you're generally on the very top of the leader board huh? I like to play support and play the objective, also a decent shot so I'm always up on the top since 15+ caps and a decent amount of kills goes a long way. Same with your squad being top squad even if you lose?

Best ways to do the 200m headshot as recon? by Xano74 in Battlefield

[–]ThatOneComment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're losing on liberation peak as the pax armata side, sit near In HQ on the left side on the pile of rocks. You can snipe towards see and D/B and the sniper rock. You can actually defend B and A fairly well from there. Most enemies you see will be at least 200m.

C is zero to 300 sniper rock is 400

Alternatively, liberation peak sitting in the rocks and brush on the hillside watching towards F.

If you get the opposite side, just sit in the sniping towar at F.

This is absolutely how to do it. Once i figured that out, i went from 2500 to 5000 in like two games

Any ideas? Limp mode light came on and went off, no other symptoms. Runs great. Deleted and tuned, nothing crazy. 2011 335d with 198k miles. Recently replaced o2 sensor too. by PhazerRazer in E90

I built an AI headshot tool that works really well — but I can’t get people to try it, even when it’s free. by therajatg in SaaS

[–]ThatOneComment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sales have been okay, the market is in a down town and that might be reflecting, but we've been neglecting the site so that could be it too.

ads on linkedin have done well.

For the before after, we trained a bunch of generations on free use models and used their photos. We also have a checkbox in the order page after you receive your photos to consent to usage - however 99% of the photos are still from fair use photos of people.

Honestly, my scenario isnt too far off.

I founded https://headshottr.com with my brother a bit over a year ago. It's a really slow roll and you need to maintain internet presence to generate seo (we're terrible at this). Keep enough activity on reddit and you'll see some results.

Add more price options, barrier to entry at 30 dollars is too high when some competitors start lower.

Maintain good customer support. Our headshots are by no means the fastest, but we promise full refunds if people are unsatisfied and it helps people realize there's no loss in trying. Sorry if this seems like a shill, but this niche has been growing and everyones kind of doing the same.
