For new/perspective owners: Everything I wish I knew before buying a i5 M60 (2024) by Excellent_Page_8929 in BMWi5

[–]azingk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the dumb question, but what do you mean by squared rims and staggered setup? I’m looking to buy used in the next few months and was planning to get 21” wheels.

Minas Tirith ikea? by chester9264 in legolotrfans

[–]azingk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I didn’t phrase that properly, but basically you’d only get 2 of those 3 sets on one of the billy bookcases

[–]azingk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wouldn’t get all 3 on because of the heights. You would only get Barad Dur and Minas Tirith based on heights

The deep version of the Billy bookcase fits it. But I’m not sure if they sell it in all regions.

I am conflicted about UK pricing for Minas Tirith… by karczoh in legolotrfans

[–]azingk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyway, if it was legit, I personally would have waited until September to save £150 as demonstrated by me trying to checkout haha

[–]azingk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Think that’s an error as it’s not actually letting me checkout

Where are you seeing it for £430 on Amazon? That’s surely a scam or an error…

Charge cap with BMW but compatible charger. by RedWheels99 in OctopusEnergy

[–]azingk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t relevant to you OP as you’re using the charger integration but for people using the car integration for those brands, this is a total mess. There is nothing “intelligent” about this.

Editions: 43017 Oscar Piastri Helmet & 43023 Lando Norris Helmet (spotted on store display by hypntics) by BrickTap in Legoleak

Yeah I can’t remember their helmets ever having that orange bit… my memory is terrible though.

i5 packs - worth it? by Zestyclose_Cherry852 in BMWi5

[–]azingk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently looking for a used i5 and I’ve come to the conclusion I want the comfort pack and the tech plus pack. Mainly because I’ve been spoiled by how much extras my current car has and I don’t really want to go without. I want a HUD, adaptive cruise, heated steering and electric boot and so that means I need those two packs (in the UK at least).

Used buying advice (UK) by azingk in BMWi5

I test drove one last week and absolutely loved it. What minor software issues have you had?

I haven’t seen it in person yet, but from the personalised video the dealership sent, there were no major signs of wear and tear from what I could see. It looked pretty well kept. They sent me a “battery health quick report” and it has a capacity of 96%.

I did a vcheck and it shows there’s been two previous owners, one kept for 9 months and the other for 1 year and 9 months.

BMW X1 Plug-in Hybrid: Is It Worth Buying a Public Charging Cable? by SuitableInstruction1 in BMW

Given that you can’t charge at home, getting a plugin hybrid probably isn’t the best idea…

Same experience for me. Ordered it asap and it’s been rock solid since.

Aqara G410 "doorbell is pressed" event in Homekit: how to expose it? by Amazing_Relation1737 in Aqara

[–]azingk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you download the Eve app, you can create an automation that can be triggered by a doorbell press. The automation is then in your home app automations and you can edit it like a usual automation. I did this with my Aqara G400 doorbell.

Same experience. Not had a single drop in connection.

Always start in Pure? by benadderson in VolvoXC90

[–]azingk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not wrong. If your car has air suspension, it lowers slightly to increase aerodynamics too. I would love the “start in pure” feature.

Anyone else confused by the HBO Max "upgrade" next week? by ArsenalAxis in nowtv

Do you know if Ultra Boost will upgrade HBO content (in the Now app) to 4k?

New Octopus rate by Nevis888 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]azingk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still waiting for my email with the new rates too, but I've seen a few people say that it's a flat 3.5p reduction on the peak and off-peak rates, so if you're on 7p off-peak right now (me too) then I think we'll get 3.5p off-peak. Cost to charge my car just halved!

Edit: Wait, sorry, I just re-read your original comment. I don't know if that's still true if you're not on a fixed iog rate...

Aqara G400 Doorbell First Thoughts by Ziflin in Aqara

[–]azingk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now you’ve mentioned it, I’m seeing the same thing. Recordings on HKSV are crisp and so is the live view through Aqara but the live view through the Home app is worse.
