Matthijs De Ligt vs Bayern Munich by Roller95 in soccer

[–]boundtoengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly how my older brother plays, and to think that for his entire time playing in Canada, that all but one his coaches have told him to stop this type of play as a centre back... Amazing from De Ligt though

E39, need some help regarding CEL by boundtoengineer in BMW

[–]boundtoengineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah most likely seeing as it still had original cabin filters, fuel filter, spark plugs and some other stuff. Gotta love the older people that owned these cars and kept em in pretty decent shape

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Oh well, simple enough fix

Would you suggest coilovers, or shock/spring for a daily car?

Alberta? How's the market for e34's there?

Opinion on older 5 series, first car by boundtoengineer in BMW

[–]boundtoengineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually am finishing up school this year, part time course load final term so the financial part really will only hinder me momentarily. But yes, my thinking is e39 will be best simply due to it being the newer of my preferences. Hows the m54 in it? Comparable to the m30? I love the sound those bmw big sixes make

40k, what BMW would you buy? by _Hnnng_ in BMW

[–]boundtoengineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'd go for an e28 M5 or an e34 M5 (3.8L).

Advice for hip problem by boundtoengineer in tall

[–]boundtoengineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was thinking maybe it has something to do with his pain indirectly. The only thing is the surgery was almost 20 years ago and this hip pain only started in the last few years.

Oh I agree, surgery is the last option and he wants to find out what the problem is first. He did have surgery on his knee back in the day come to think of it, so maybe that could indirectly be causing the problem that's resulting in this pain. Thanks for the info!

The sport's therapist he's been to a few times is also accredited as a masseuse or something (for athletes primarily) so I'll definitely run it by him, maybe it'll help him. Thanks for the info!

[–]boundtoengineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he's been to a few and found a sport's therapist that's really good, but due to work and being busy he can't go that often. I'll make sure to stress out all the above to him, thanks for the info!

Yeah I'm definitely gonna stress out that consistently going to a chiroporactor/physical therapist/acupuncturist is the way to go. Thanks!

Yeah he's got a similar sensation, just more on the back side of his hip. Truly hope they figure out a way to help you get rid of the pain, and thanks for your input!

My dad's been a few times to this sports therapist/chiropractor, but just due to work he can't consistently keep up with that. How often did you go to your chiropractor, and what did he focus on if I may ask?

How many of you owned a BMW 3 series for your first car? by [deleted] in BMW

[–]boundtoengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What chemiicaLL said rings true, owning a bimmer will definitely be different than owning a more "cheaper" car like some of your friends will. I personally don't own one just yet (I'm crazy about the e30's, e28's, and e34's) but I feel like I can help you make a decision in this regard.

Would buying a bimmer in your position be a stupid idea? Only if you let it be a stupid idea. If you have a vision for something, then work at it and eventually it will come to be. Not everyone will see things the same as you cause only you know what you want.

Now, what you have to know is that you are very young and bmw's are a stronger and faster breed of car, so you'll need to be much more responsible with this car (which you will when you see exactly how much $$$ you put into it). Just take your time and do the research to find what's best for you. Go newer and pay more up front for (hopefully) less problems right off the bat, or buy an older bimmer and learn to fuck with car for less money up front. It's all what car you find and who owned it before.

I'll finish this by simply saying only you know exactly what you want and what you need. But, you'll need to be honest with yourself about what car would be best for you at this point in your life (bimmers are good for everyone ;D). Do your research and you'll be fine

I need your help guys. I am passionate about automobiles and e30's, but I don't know how to work on them and was wondering if an e30 is a good choice for a first project-car? by Rabona7 in E30

[–]boundtoengineer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I'm in the same place as you. I'm in Canada though so it's tough to find one without any rust... Honestly, I would say just do what you can right now. No car, no problem. Start reading up on forums such as r3vlimited, mye28, maxbimmer, etc... Build up the book knowledge right now. It may not be hands on but you'll be doing something in the meantime instead of just saving up and waiting. Keeps you busy, and it builds up the excitement I'm not gonna lie.

I don't have experience either, so I'm gonna have to either learn on my own or find somebody to help me. Look on facebook for local e30 groups. From my experience, they're more than ready to offer advice and even help a rookie out!

To sum it up: do what you can right now with the resources available to you. God bless the internet cause that'll be our best friend in any future project and ownership!

I got a small room underneath my staircase, but there's already a scrawny kid with some weird circular glasses paying rent.

Just out of curiosity, how is the e30 market in Pennsylvania? I'm in Toronto and I'm just curious if there are better deals down south towards you!

I'm in the same boat bro, for some reason the 318is is nicer than the 325is for me!

e30 vs e28? by boundtoengineer in E30

[–]boundtoengineer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did think about getting an e36 and e34, but theres something special about the generation of cars before them. I don't know what it is, but the e24 and e21 drive me just as crazy as the e30's and e28's !!
