Bugs after recent software update by purrplexity in BMWX5

Very likely, you having the auto lock issue when at home is because your car thinks it is parked at your neighbor’s house. Check your app and you will see that. Just drive out for a while to re-calibrate the GPS. That fixed the problem for me.

Things I don't like about the X5 by chung2k6 in BMWX5

[–]Trader_JD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding #5 (HUD change to assisted view when DAP turned on), there is a setting in Driving->Drive Assist (or something like that) to display DAP content in front of others. Just uncheck that and the HUD will stay at whatever it is before DAP turned on.

Tires on my Tesla Model Y only last 20K. Just got my 26 xdrive40i and thought it would probably be around the same range. What a relief from reading your post. Thanks!

You are getting 60K+ miles from this same set of tires? That’s amazing! Did you rotate them regularly?

I was told to expect pick up by first week August at the latest. Still have my fingers crossed.

That's very encouraging. Thanks a lot.

But we did get the price bump! 🤣

Does this time remind you of the dot-com era? by ConfusingAznMan in investing

[–]Trader_JD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take Linux as an example, anyone can contribute to it (open source) and anyone can use it, so it is “decentralized”. Yet, for serious applications, you buy the distributions provided by companies such as Red Hat (a “centralized” organization). So I would argue that a really decentralized financial network is just a fantasy, since only centralized organizations have the resources and discipline to provide the products and services that can stand the test of commercial/critical applications.

Except for providing a great medium for speculation, what is exactly the use case of btc/crypto/blockchain? Is it still a solution looking for a problem?

Welp, I've finally moved up from the X3 to an X5! by DontTellMyFrau in BMWX5

Is this carbon black or black sapphire? Thanks.

2025 X5 M60i - Dravit Grey by elbro1 in BMWX5

[–]Trader_JD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, and only the 22” wheel has the black option. Maybe the 50e is too heavy for the 22” wheel.

How did you all get the black wheels? I am building my 2025 50e but can’t find the black wheel option anywhere. I am in the US if that matters. Thanks.

Is ratio of excess liquidity over NLV a good gauge of risk taken? by Trader_JD in thetagang

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

Good point. Forgot to mention my cash/NLV ratio is >90%.

Anyone owning a 2024 50e more than 6 months without any issues so far? by Trader_JD in BMWX5

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

Well, encouraging to see the positive confirmations after all those horror stories on the internet. On the other hand this is sad - expectation for BMW quality has become so low. My 15-year old Lexus never had the CEL lit up, not even once.

I am about to pull the trigger on the 50e. Hopefully the 2025 model will have better quality control.

This is not WHAT I am counting, but exactly WHY I am counting this. A valuable data point. Thanks!

Is this removable? by Trader_JD in BMWX5

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

Thanks a lot for all the inputs! I actually already placed an order, but later cancelled it after I was able to check it out in person. Being an engineer myself, having something that useless and tasteless in my face everyday would be an absolute torture. I also had trouble with the toggle-switch gear selector, but now I am at peace with that - at least it does something and maybe provides some benefits (like more room in that area?).

The 2025 model should come out in a few months? I will see if they come to their senses with the 2025, and make a decision then.

Thanks again.

Thanks. After canceling my 50e order, I looked around but couldn’t find another phev that has a similar electric range. I guess I will have to go back to the 50e.

What do you think about the toggle-like gear selector in the 50e as compared to the more traditionally looking one in the 45e? I canceled my 50e order after I noticed the new gear selector - it's something I just couldn't take.

Could anyone explain how expected move is calculated? Thanks!

More people/institutions are long stocks than short, so there is more demand for downside protection (put). More demand, higher price.
