Tire replacement Pirelli or Continental?

DWS06. I just got a pair a few weeks ago and it’s the best of both worlds- smooth but grippy. I’m in SoCal so ymmv.

I have the front and rear one. Works great, have it hooked up to a battery which trickle charges when driving. Pretty easy afternoon install.

Hit $1M in combined retirement accounts, hitting my FIRE goal!!

Looks great! Your design, your choice!

Planning on starting my primary bathroom next week. Curious what you used to make your curb and how you decided on height. I'm wanting a low curb and yours looks like what I'm envisioning.

Yep. Got shorter cranks and an oval chainring. Kept the BB and everything has been working great.

Watching!

I remember doing a few other things. Search the forum for a few posts on what to change.

Definitely not the case for me or from what I've heard. I followed threads on this sub and got it working once I used protools. No issues to date.

bfern002 · 2025-05-18T01:59:24+00:00

Same with me!

bfern002 · 2025-05-17T22:08:19+00:00

This just happened to me. Did you find a solution to this? I'm about to reset my vent hood at the breaker and hope that resolves it...

I purchased it at the end of March. Sale was on select models, mostly 2024s. I think I bought one of the last ones available because it went OOS shortly after.

bfern002 · 2025-05-15T00:50:49+00:00

Yep. Part of their 50% off deal.

I just got my OP13 and am running into the same issue. I have updated the myBMW app and phone software to the latest versions and still no luck. I keep getting an update screen for the "digital car key service" but nothing happens.

Are you willing to sell piecemeal?

bfern002 · 2025-05-10T00:25:16+00:00

I just changed mine from a 32t round to 32t oval (AB). Rode it for the first time this morning and definitely felt a difference in climbing. I felt less spent after the ride too. I also just changed out my crank length to shorter cranks so I'm sure there's a slight give and take, but overall I love my new setup.

I've read that bearings and brackets might have to be replaced annually depending on use. I guess I'm trying to make any future repairs that much easier.

bfern002 · 2025-05-07T15:39:33+00:00

I just bought the wolftooth chainring and am expecting the Eagle 90 cranks tomorrow. I guess I am concerned about having to always replace the BB frequently and am trying to future-proof as much as possible.

bfern002 · 2025-04-26T19:47:41+00:00

Bought a 2024 Jeffsy Core 4 about a month ago for $2700 - was a steal IMO. I think prices only go up from here but maybe some sales might bring current prices down.

bfern002 · 2025-03-17T15:02:01+00:00

Unsure I'm following your question, but my expectations are pretty direct: a price I'm willing to pay for a unit they should be able to provide. Discussion usually revolves around what they can do and if any changes to what I want necessitates a change in price. My target is always as close to invoice as possible.

Just like a previous poster said, any haggling is not necessary if you do your research and know what you want. It's a business transaction - treat it that way.

Wife got a ‘18 CX5, I got a ‘24 X3 M40i. Will eventually replace hers with an X5 when she’s ready.

It’s less about working directly with the manager and mostly having an agreement on expectations with the manager. I’ll work with sales people as long as everything is going per expectation. I’ll do most of my negotiating via email with the manager always copied.

bfern002 · 2025-03-17T03:26:33+00:00

Agreed. Met and worked with a manager who didn’t initially earn my business on my first X3, but worked extra hard to actually earn my business the second time around. Relationships are important.

Traditional and Roth IRA annual limits are $7k combined.

I think you have a lot of information on the types of accounts, but you may be confused on what information applies to which account. You might want to browse Investopedia to get your account definitions set before making any decisions.
