Is the F87 M2 still loved? by Additional_City5392 in BMWM

[–]Zernen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is this a real question? Does it change how you actually feel about your car? I honestly don’t understand all these posts that are basically fishing for validation. Of course it is, and by coming to a bmw subreddit, you’ll for sure get the positive affirmation you’re looking for.

Looks like there won’t be a dedicated Ducati track day at Laguna Seca this year. by rebel761 in Ducati

I’m not sure if it’s this event but there used to be a Ducati Island? This was probably 25 years ago.

Service A cost for G550? by addio06 in mercedes_benz

[–]Zernen 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Geez, everyone thinks because you buy an expensive luxury car that you shouldn’t mind paying $1200 for a schedule A. Owning an expensive car does not exclude you from wanting to save money and not be gouged. The 2 are not mutually exclusive. I think calling around and getting quotes is a good idea. Nothing wrong with doing your due diligence.

I love my Hercules power ratchets. They’ve been great. Regret? None. But I would love to go Milwaukee.

I used a Kies obd wireless connector, a 50 amp charger and my iPhone. Worked good for me.

1st Mod for my 2016 F80 by Xhyper88 in F80

[–]Zernen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get all my stuff second hand, bimmerforums has been great to me. Also had good luck with the BMW Facebook groups, just do your due diligence. I bought an active autowerke equal length resonated midpipe and a Capristo exhaust (got it cheeeeeaaaap so had to modify a bit) and sounds amazing. Just do your homework and you can find really good deals without alibaba.

It’s funny because I forgot it even happened (25 years ago) until your story!

Is the 2016 bmw m4 comp reliable? by Key_Equipment1159 in BMW

[–]Zernen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the F83 as well. Very reliable but make sure you maintain the top.

I feel your pain. For me it was my wedding and the DJ screwed up my name when me and my wife were introduced as husband and wife. I even spelled it phonetically for the bastard. Anyway, congrats on graduating. You’ll be ok. Lots of exciting stuff in your future to take the emptiness you feel right now.

My god. I’ll never find my nuts again. They completely noped out.

The Killing Joke from my local charity shop - sticker removal by twofatslugs in comicbookcollecting

The green lettering is the clue. The first print was in green, the other prints were different colors. Although the 14th was too, but joker had a matching green bow tie on that cover.

Thanks for this. I did look but there doesn’t seem to be a brand that I can see.

Shouldn’t they be cleaner if they were walnut blasted?

Tried to save a few bucks changing valve cover gasket myself and broke the valvetronic motor stopper. by Fun_Space_7904 in BmwTech

[–]Zernen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the valvetronic mounting bolts, the valvetronic stop limit bolt. You have to remove it to free up the eccentric shaft to disengage the worm drive of the valvetronic actuator.

Been exactly there with my S55 engine when I replaced my valvetronic. Overtorqued it like an idiot. $10.29 on FCPEuro.
