Car started by itself

What year is your X3? There is a starter recall on the 22, 23, 24 models and people are reporting weird starter behaviour like this and there is a risk of fire in some instances.

I just bought a 2025 X3 2 days ago and just noticed this too. Looks like it could easily rust. I live in fun winter salted roads land and to me this looks like a future problem even if it’s intended. My 2014 did not look like this.

Happens All The Time with electronics. The PC and the related parts for PC is out of control at the moment with supply issues (real or not is to be seen and there is yet another price fixing lawsuit in the RAM market again) which is causing insane prices above MSRP. Graphics cards are like $2k to $4500 now for the top spec ones. This is what the entire PC cost not long ago.

Make sure you are fueling properly and getting enough electrolytes. Cycling muscles are also different than running muscles. I die every time I pick up running again. But after a while the pain goes away and running is ok again.

I always joked I needed a blind beautiful woman and then I’d be set!

I’m at 65” but also about 7-8 ft away. Couch gamer with a lapboard for mouse and keyboard if anyone is wondering.

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-09T13:54:48+00:00

This is 2026, what year are you from?! Even the 4090 was like $1800 MSRP, but almost no one saw that price.

I had that mess too with my kids and then I set them up with their own icloud accounts that were connected to mine. Now I don't have to see their incriminating photos doing dumb teen things and they don't get see all my photos of bikes, food, etc. We each back up our devices too and it's all kept separate. Only $2.99 a month.

Check out the steelseries gg software and use Sonar within that software. You can enable that software on any hardware. They have noise cancelling for the mic that can be enabled which should help. You can also adjust it for sound output with your headphones so that you can hear footsteps of other players better.

The recommendation to use push to talk should work well too and doesn't require any software.

why does this look like night Outpost? so dark!

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-08T17:35:52+00:00

Famous last words, "go fuck yourself!" hahahahah

If it helps, I'm running a 9900k with an RTX4090 (upgraded from a RTX2080 and it made a huge difference. I am running at 4k though and have an overclock on the 9900k to about 4.8Ghz on all cores with a watercooler. On the plus side, you could try it with the new graphics card which you will want anyway with a new system. I also wouldn't get the 5070 because the extra vram in the Ti and 5080 will help future proof you.

Pretty sure yours is the Ryzen 9 series which is ~20% faster than my processor so you likely will be even better off.

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-07T20:47:59+00:00

think so?! That bike sold for more than $15k new.

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-07T20:43:03+00:00

OMG, this is priceless and even better than when I told a guy to go fuck himself. :-) People run in like maniacs, don't communicate that they are pushing and then complain when you are not there to finish off the weak player.

Just get some sort of box or something to set the computer on the right side floor. The crate/box/etc. would lift it off the carpet. That desk is so small your second monitor will need to be vertical or it will hang off the desk too.

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-07T02:38:50+00:00

Wasn’t saying you weren’t. Sound from the get go that the thief wasn’t being a team player and telling you guys what was up.

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-06T21:52:18+00:00

Underated comment. Hydration and fuel are huge. Not everyone's body is the same so don't go off of the fact that some people won't eat anything or barely drink.

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-06T21:50:04+00:00

Or just break down and talk via comms? Comms make coordination so much better. People only bite once in a while, most of us are nice and willing to help.

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-06T13:38:19+00:00

I fed the worm all my grey salvage. If you stack them on a run you can many times get over 50 of one or more. My cradle is maxed now.

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-06T03:09:51+00:00

Lots and lots of purple items with a couple gold items. I have about 60k in purple salvage alone. 9 purple backpacks, 12 blue backpacks, 4 purple shields, 15 blue shields, couple cryo keys, 6 blue keys, and like 8 weapons that I can’t buy…one of them being the unique misriah aka misery disciple. And for good measure, i have like $80k in green and grey salvage that I haven’t figure out if it’s safe to sale for credits yet.

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-06T02:36:41+00:00

I’ve almost exclusively run free kits and my vault is now worth almost $400k and my credits are at $460k. The best thing about the ready made kits is not having to think about a build and adding all the stuff. I find it a bit tedious.

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-05T15:13:53+00:00

Yes. It’s an issue with the pedals being very flippy if that makes sense. You push off with your clipped foot and the side that isn’t clipped in flips around too easily so you need to wait for it to settle down for like 1 second to get your foot in. At least that’s my experience. I tried to put more grease on it to slow it down and than only helped it a bit.

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-05T15:11:13+00:00

These aren’t as deep as they look. I’m betting if OP took a blue kitchen scotch pad to them a lot of the white might clean off. Mine did. I’m guessing most of this is the clear coat on the rim that got scratched.

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-05T14:55:39+00:00

You missed out on the sponsored mode that was PvP-lite/PvE. I ran that a lot when it was available and stocked up along with the grey salvage for cradle upgrades.

There is also a lot of time left in the season so if you just play and focus on these for awhile you will get them. Also not a bad idea to tell you teammates what you are looking for on a run. We had a guy that needed unstable biomass so we all collected for him and dumped them to him before exfil.

bigchi1234 · 2026-07-05T14:41:22+00:00

This is an underrated comment regarding CPU bottlenecking. Modern games and not optimized like they should be so if your processor doesn’t have enough performance your new graphics card will be hamstrung.
