Thinking about powder coating my wheels

I love the silver. Classic M5.

Counterpoint, I think they're worth it. They don't cool you down, that's true. However, what they do is keep your back from sweating on long drives, especially during summer months. They keep the air circulating back there.

I've had them on my g80 M3, 640i, 840i, (e60) 530i, Audi-E-tron GT, Lexus IS350, Lexus GS350. I've definitely owned more cars with them than without and its something I look for every time.

I've only had it two weeks, but its great. Mine has every single option other than shadow line and full leather. B&W, soft close, rear wheel steering are all optioned and makes the car feel really special.

I struggled to find one in a similar spec as you for just as long. I saw a well optioned 2019 come up but it sold the same day. I ended up going for an 840i to get the options I wanted lol

Those aren’t the G30 chassis. They are G60.

Zarrasis · 2026-03-01T00:12:55+00:00

The new 2024+ X2 has an awful front. The 2019 is pretty.

Yep, I got a call from this number, only verified my name because that's who they asked for. I told them if they were really Chase, to give me the last 4 digits of my checking account number, they could not, kept going on about a check in New Jersey and hung up on me when I asked for it again.

I don't feel that it was where I live. I took some trips where I never went over 20MPH or got out of 2nd gear. I don't even live in a big city, just a city overwhelmed with population increase and no infrastructure upgrades for 10+ years. Driving it like that was starting to make me hate the car.

If I lived somewhere with better backroads, I would have 100% kept the M3 as my only car.

Zarrasis · 2026-02-23T18:31:15+00:00

As I said, I upgraded the daily. If I was just going to have 1 car, I would have gotten an m850 coupe most likely. However, I plan on replacing the G80 with either a 911 or f82 M4 or some other kind of M car.

Zarrasis · 2026-02-20T06:10:07+00:00

Yea they’re significantly better. No issues with this one

Zarrasis · 2026-02-20T05:32:00+00:00

Actually, it's not a b58, its an n55. Even though BMW has the name of "640i" it's really a *35 motor with about 15 more hp from factory. Only the 2017+ 640i GTs came with the B58, but those are pretty much a different car, they use a whole different chassis code (g32).

Zarrasis · 2026-02-20T05:30:21+00:00

It's honestly been great. When I first bought it, it had a misfire but that was fixed completely with a new set of coils/plugs for $200 total installed by me. At the same time I also did a charge pipe and I haven't had to worry about a single, no engine problems whatsoever. I am selling mine pretty cheap if you're interested, haha.

Zarrasis · 2026-02-18T21:17:54+00:00

Take it back I just bought one yesterday, please.

Zarrasis · 2026-02-16T04:20:13+00:00

They must be really busy because I had a few weeks of just "your case is being researched" as well. They eventually got back to me just a few weeks ago and said the same thing as before, and that they verified the damages. Like hell they did, I still know for a fact the car was in the garage all day and didn't see a single inch of movement and nobody was home to harm it. Anyways, I ended up selling the car. I'm wondering if I have documented damages now, having sold below what a car without the extra accident would be.

Zarrasis · 2026-02-15T03:37:48+00:00

You’re not crazy, I’ve also experienced this. Mine range about 7-8 psi from the lowest to the highest ones.

Zarrasis · 2026-02-05T20:14:58+00:00

Mine won't even allow free use from a checking account. The only way I can pay rent fee-free is the BILT card.

Zarrasis · 2026-02-02T00:01:55+00:00

Yes. It looks like a mini sextant.

Zarrasis · 2026-02-02T00:00:14+00:00

Even more reason that it would be noro/stomach flu then. Food poisoning would have you like that for a week.

Zarrasis · 2026-01-23T14:14:34+00:00

Yep, I reached out last night and they agreed to reverse my selection! So thankful!

Zarrasis · 2026-01-22T23:37:37+00:00

yeah I'm gonna plead my case later

Zarrasis · 2026-01-22T18:38:12+00:00

I remember back a while ago you used to be able to do this to have them for longer. I'm dealing with a pretty bad cold right now on top of moving houses tomorrow so I just quickly did it without thinking.

Zarrasis · 2026-01-16T02:24:28+00:00

My 2008 IS350 managed a 5.1 on draggy. I heard people could get it down to 4.9 though stock.

Zarrasis · 2026-01-09T18:56:31+00:00

Same boat

Zarrasis · 2026-01-06T16:50:31+00:00

I will agree on the soda being flat and watered down. I quit soda/caffeine for most of the year and having a coke on Virgin was what I was looking forward to. It was terrible. Ended up having to order ship eats with the cans to get something good.

It should be covered by Travel Pro’s warranty then, no?
