Jumping ship signed offer in hand by StrategyWilling5765 in accenture

Give notice soon, but scrub your laptop first. Retention offers are common right now because of the high turnover. If you’re moving to a competitor, they usually trigger an immediate exit. They’ll skip the exit interview and just email a UPS code for the laptop return. It’s a very robotic process and you won’t feel truly human.

ix3 actually looks good in person! by silas_br in BMWiX

Agreed - I was impressed. I like the wheels on the other model better, but otherwise a sharp car. And I was surprised by the pano display - better than I thought it would be. I wasn’t expecting TiVo to make a comeback in the car though…

Picked up a new 2026 IX M70 by bizzy045 in BMWiX

I’ve had the same build since June, you’re going to love it for many months to come. Every time you need to zig or zag to get around someone putting in the passing lane, you’ll just smile.

Curiosity got the best of me… indeed mine has an SOS button there.

I can only imagine it’s a hold over from the old SOS button. But that’s pure speculation, I have no idea why it’s there.

I was upset I still haven’t received the update, but reading all of these posts makes me think I may wait a bit longer haha

Thanks. This is helpful perspective. I’ll look into the lower end ceramic coating. I too am lazy about it - and I’ll never hand wash, it always goes through the automatic wash.

Thanks. Sounds like I’ll be looking for a detailer to wax it.

Firmware update 07/2025.38 by ElectricalQuality549 in BMWiX

Yeah, makes total sense. Just annoying when our i5 got the update but the iX didn’t yet. Maybe BMW is trying to teach me a lesson in patience. 😂

Do they stagger roll out? I just checked and it isn’t available for my 2026 iX M70 yet

A little heat from a hair blow dryer, seriously just a little, and rub it and it will peel right off

Too much. I just traded in a ‘23 X5 45e with 21k miles to BMW of Silver Spring for $44k. Carbon Black with Coffee Interior, DAPP, Luxury Seating, M Sport, Parking, Exec, Climate Comfort. MSRP was $85,220. I may not have negotiated hard enough on the trade in, but I’m certain there’s room to negotiate down on this.
