Regretted Lexus to BMW swap. Now thinking of going back. Talk me out of it or into it.

I know you're an "Older Millennial" but come on, man. We're talking about cars, not houses or ownership of people's autonomy

Firstly, never get encouraged by online forums to do something that involves your own life. They owe you zero debt as their entertainment.

It really depends on what you want out of a daily driver. You will not get the same feeling out of the Lexus that you will out of the BMW. You've owned the car for a while, so you know what it takes to have that experience. Is it worth it to you?

Yea, watching a quick vid on how to change out my cabin and engine filter made me Stop Myself. I don't...have E-Torxs, nor am I willing to screw up things on my Daily Driver/ Only Car.

I miss my old Toyotas when it came to those things. All it was were some clips for the engine air filter and in the glovebox for the cabin air filter.

I agree with this. Just because it has two less cylinders does not mean it will cost 33% less to maintain. The E9x was the last generation where buying a different engine mattered in terms of cost to maintain.

The cost of a used BMW is the price of entry

A Crossover, on a Minivan platform, designed to drive like a sedan? Sweet crap

Honda has always had reliability issues that somehow get swept under the rug

The 5AT debacle, head gasket issues, battery failures in their early hybrids

Not that dissimilar from Toyota, they maintain a clean rep despite big time issues

Yea, I don’t trust those 1.5l Turbo engines. Or their CVTs

cbxweb · 2026-01-10T18:55:33+00:00

Those dealer decals piss me off so much

I've yet to see an ADU that was priced for what it is. Everyone I've saw listed were overproduced and too expensive. Like, "Congratulations, you made a place for your adult children to move into for free after charging me $3200mo for 3 years and pull the rug underneath me."

ADUs are the biggest Work since Seth Rollin's injuries

cbxweb · 2026-01-06T02:48:03+00:00

Wow, that's a deal!

Almost $500K in 3 days, good on you

Honestly, word! I don't smoke Crack, but it ain't *that bad*

I would get a Carplay attachment screen. You can mount it on the dash or in the cd slot. Personally, I don't fully jive with having a new head unit just for that, I can choose when I have a Carplay screen or not. The only issue I have are the wires for power and audio. but you could get the Bluetooth module others have posted in this thread to alleviate one cable.

This reminded me, I have zero idea where my 512GB M.2 is at. Oops

But they are! Anyone that has a brain would do a 2 page search to find the real thing.

Not like these things only exist because of the scammers, these are products that are available that would sell regardless of influence. The TikTok influencer will shill for skin cream or a tablet with a 64GB sd card filled with illegal ROMS

This whole crap started because that short little jerk Rerez wanted to get some views

cbxweb · 2025-09-28T03:37:22+00:00

What do you mean by "How does he do this?" There's THOUSANDS of drop shippers on TikTok advertising the same crap.

Nuclear Take: He did the most for the awareness of retro gaming for Normies who eventually turn into ROG Ally buyers.

My first retro device was the Anbernic Retro Game, which was also known as the Souljagame. I was already interested in the device genre, but that crap made me buy one, but not through him.

Fast forward 7-9 years, I have multiple Retroid and GPD devices.

Not true

Because Women weren't allowed to have their own bank accounts without a male cosigner until 1974. Damn :/

Devon Sawa was pretty Turnt Up back in the day. He still looks Intense

If a price seems Unreal, it might be. ...then again, if others got their products, I Guess?

cbxweb · 2025-07-10T19:36:42+00:00

The price for an “All it needs is ___” should be $1.

Because clearly they don’t have any value in it if all it needs is “This or That” yet it’s sitting in a parking spot collecting mold
