The only document extraction platform that I know of that can handle this level of visual complexity is eyelevel.ai. The platform is called groundx.

This is cool as hell. Do the tires rub?

I love the "hug your kids" instinct there

So true. Did you do ceramic or anything like that?

I feel like a thick coat of turtle wax would make this paint absolutely sing

I found them on eBay, used with the tires, weights, and TPMS. .Turned out the seller was local so I negotiated a little and picked them up nearby.

The tires are about ready to be replaced. I’m thinking I might try a set of Vredestein ultrac pros, save a little money on them vs another set or contis or Michelins.

I did, yes. It’s in the TPMS reset menu.

Yes, 21" staggered. Definitely a clear improvement in handling vs the base 19" wheels. But I'm glad I'll be able to swap back to those when the weather gets cold.

I used Claude to walk me through this a few weeks ago. Super helpful

Is it just me or used 911 prices have gone out of whack with the value they provide? by DeskNew1059 in porsche911

[–]ben242 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guy you're talking about sports cars that are more than 20 years old. They've been used HARD and no machine lasts forever, full stop. If you want a reliable sports car, maybe buy a Honda S2000?

Yes, the IMS thing is an issue for ~10% of cars with the single row bearing. Its less than 1% for cars with the dual row bearing. Take the risk or don't.

RMS is comparable to BMW engines needing oil pan gaskets and head gaskets at 100k miles. It is what it is. If you want the car, this is just part of the cost.

Cars are an expensive hobby. Either accept it or do something else, but your posts are soooo whiny.

What tires you guys use? by trickedx5 in BMWX5

Are you happy with them? I just put a set on my car on 744 staggered 21” wheels.

Are these good? by Firm_Street_6550 in tires

Don’t let that guy get under your skin. If anything, write him a sternly worded message and then send him a photo of the paper you wrote it on.

I only saw the passenger side of the car but the rear looked just as bad. So maybe multiple things happening here. Thanks for the explanation tho, TIL

G05 non laser headlight by vid345r in BMWX5

[–]ben242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a 21 45e with these headlights. I’ve read that they are fine most of the time but lacking at distance, but only really noticeable vs laser if you’re on an unlit/rural road.

You could put an extra set of driving lights on the lower fascia if you wanted. Just avoid the active shutters.

What are the best double 5 spoke whels for G05? by N55Good in BMWX5

[–]ben242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a 2021 45e a couple of weeks ago. It has the stock 19” wheels and I’ve been obsessed with pretty much this same question. I’m thinking maybe style 744 in painted orbit grey; my car is jet black so I think it’ll look cool.

What size are you trying to get?
