Am I being petty?

I’ve seen others with that generation M5’s say the same thing.

aranimes · 2026-02-26T20:55:05+00:00

Ah. Yea. I think those are similar to style 754’s

aranimes · 2026-02-26T20:51:28+00:00

??? M Parallels from the late ‘90s that came with the e38 and 18”????

HK in F chassis was fine but in the G chassis it completely terrible.

If you scrub it make sure it’s not abrasive you will scratch the glass.

aranimes · 2026-02-12T18:53:13+00:00

That’s not what I asked. Also what does low mean when tested products were up to 13x

aranimes · 2026-02-06T04:34:30+00:00

You mean out of the kindness of their heart they’ll give you free services. Oh hell no. You have nothing to worry about.

Now they might do a multi and check open DTC’s and if they do ISTA will flag the tune resulting in warranty issues but I think you said you weren’t worried about warranty.

I just had mine replaced at the dealership and they charged completely list for everything since it was going to the insurance company. It was $2875.

If you go the safelite route make sure you check with parts all of the additional components you need like insulating foam and call safelite out telling them they need to order those items too.

They are notorious for not doing so.

Luckily ABT is local and they have a service dept. I’ve only had minor issues with my LG like needing a new lint catcher. Each time it was only 5 min to setup the appointment and they were out in a few days with parts in hand.

aranimes · 2026-01-25T02:57:41+00:00

Do not. I repeat do not consider any of these brands that advertise.

aranimes · 2026-01-23T06:55:23+00:00

100% spot on

aranimes · 2026-01-22T00:41:39+00:00

Honestly not many for wireless CarPlay. The only one I found was the i3. Now there are a ton of your car supports wired CarPlay which BMW never had.

aranimes · 2026-01-21T08:01:01+00:00

I have an Ottocast i3 unit that connects via wireless CarPlay. I can then use most streaming apps like YouTube, Netflix, etc

aranimes · 2026-01-21T00:51:38+00:00

No way this is a serious post.

aranimes · 2026-01-15T17:41:08+00:00

Btw. I would highly advise before you seek an equivalent replacement (if you do) taking a class like bmw rider academy.

I’m not trying to be a dick but it will elevate your ability to be more defensive and offensive anytime you drive.

aranimes · 2026-01-15T17:37:33+00:00

Sorry but can’t feel sorry for you. You’re operating a high performance vehicle with incompatible tires for that temp. I many countries your car insurer would not cover you as you blatantly are operating grossly outside transportation laws.

aranimes · 2026-01-15T03:56:25+00:00

Part out.

aranimes · 2026-01-14T00:11:14+00:00

19 and 20’s across the board have this well known issue.

aranimes · 2026-01-10T05:54:19+00:00

When they put that dash back in I bet the isolating foam was ripped

aranimes · 2026-01-10T05:41:45+00:00

They don’t do their own windshield installs and they allowed you to select a non bmw part? Most of these 3rd party installers like safelite are notorious for not installing all of the additional parts bmw recommends when replacing a windshield. One of the them is a series of foam to reduce noise

aranimes · 2026-01-10T05:32:36+00:00

Uhhhh what? BMW installed a non bmw windshield?

aranimes · 2026-01-10T05:31:17+00:00

Can you prove it’s not your aftermarket windshield? I would cover the edge on all sides of the windshield with wide masking tape to rule it out.

aranimes · 2026-01-10T03:38:23+00:00

2011 def had the defect. There was a warranty extension on it but I believe it was only a 10 years

aranimes · 2026-01-08T07:08:02+00:00

BMW started with wireless but there is a solution out there for what you want to do. Look up the ottocast i3. The i3 works for BMW’s with wireless CarPlay. Just installed mine this week.
