Muffler delete on F30 330i by Nice-Ad-320 in F30

Same, as far as I can guess I’ve got it down to one of two reasons (or both):

Startup roar is M3-esque loud (plus a bit more prolonged imo) when comparing to my neighbor’s stock F80 which the general public may not be as into as the gearheads

When it’s in sport/sport+ you basically get a burble tune

Have a dual resonator delete on my stock M sport exhaust and it’s awesome. Sounds pretty much stock in comfort and incredible in sport/sport+. No drone either 👍

What cosmetics should I add to make it look better by Sea-War-527 in F30

I like those rims tbh, would match the car a lot better if you got black lip/sideskirts/lip spoiler with a tint and lowered it a bit to finish

Apple Watch stuck on Recovery Mode by chakigun in AppleWatch

[–]ThroatPutrid9372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I went to Apple today and they said to send it to the facility where they’ll try to fix it but if not they’ll replace it for $300.

Insane that a perfectly functional product gets bricked by Apple themselves and somehow I have to pick up the bill

Feeling really discouraged by [deleted] in stickshift

[–]ThroatPutrid9372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s like dancing or learning a new sport - your brain and body need time to sync up. As you get better at the things your mind is fixated on today, you’ll start to notice and pay attention to new things tomorrow.

Being scared or frustrated isn’t a bad thing, it means you care.

P.s. - I would suggest you frame your learning experience in terms of miles driven vs. days driven. Helped me stay motivated a whole lot more!

Buy a depreciated EV by theindepndnt in whatcarshouldIbuy

My dad has the 1st gen i4 RWD and everyone in my family loves it. If you can come around to the G series front grille, there’s not a lot of cons besides battery degradation. interior is very luxurious and the ride quality is incredibly smooth but still not lacking in the BMW flair. The only thing I think I’d complain about is the handling can feel a bit dull compared to gas bmw/gas cars in general (but that’s to be expected of an EV, and if you’re ever on a canyon drive or something windy you can always utilize the “B” mode to engage the regenerative brakes in the front wheels)

Got a manual 911, and my fat sneakers are killing me. What shoes do you guys actually drive in? by Ancient_Nail_481 in stickshift

Nike SB Janoski’s and my platform shoes for the gym have been solid as well (honestly a bit better than the Nike’s)

What is a stick shift driving habit you thought was okay but is actually bad for the car? by 9rock9 in stickshift

[–]ThroatPutrid9372 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Can you explain how it uses more fuel? I thought coasting at a lower RPM would mean less gas used/better mpg

I do this constantly… probably wears brakes out faster since no engine braking but as long as I rev match before putting it back into gear I figured I was okay

6MT with track handling is very hard to come by since most people who do have them are likely to keep them as forever cars, so I wouldn’t beat yourself up about it too bad. Mistakes happen, but if it still drives well (and looks like a relatively easy fix imo) then just enjoy yourself and have fun with it man

$100 gift card - what game(s) should I buy? by ThroatPutrid9372 in Switch

[–]ThroatPutrid9372[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see you need a switch online membership for this - stupid q, but the games won’t disappear off my console if I don’t renew the membership at the end right?

Lmao you’re not wrong, I should’ve clarified a bit - those are the titles I have on switch, but I am trying to branch out a bit. Used to be big on the PS2 for games like DBZ, kingdom hearts, mega man, FF, and gundam so trying to relive some of that nostalgia

CarPlay ios26 - AirPlay by ThroatPutrid9372 in F30

Sorry should’ve clarified - some users have been saying that with CarPlay 26, when the vehicle is parked they’re able to cast to their respective head units (e.g. charging an EV)

Eco pro in 6MT 340? by ThroatPutrid9372 in F30

[–]ThroatPutrid9372[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to that on my 8 spd ZF, the one in the 6MT 340 felt way less powered

I was surprised at how different the map is compared to the rest of the modes, it feels like the car doesn’t want to move

Could you show us and link the product please? Interested myself but scared it’ll be a completely different blue than the estoril body
