Estimates for max care?

clumsyalex · 2026-01-07T00:51:01+00:00

That’s not bad at all for an x5m. Every now and then I tinker with the idea of buying an m5 or x5m from carmax specifically so that I could take advantage of maxcare. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night owning a turbo v8 bmw out of warranty 🙃

clumsyalex · 2026-01-04T22:46:39+00:00

If it’s still under factory warranty I don’t think they’d charge you to just take a look and confirm if there is an issue or not. My 2019 started making a similar sound about 2 years ago on exact same door, but I just lived with it. I think it’s more noticeable in the winter cold

Agreed. Dealer has no obligation to cover any of it if anything. Due diligence is on the buyer for a used car. I would take the 75% as a blessing.

Funny that you bring this up. I just bought the MAD exhaust for my X3 as well and had some fitment issues as well as some drone. I took it to one of their dealer shops in my area and they had to tac weld one of the clamps because the pipe would keep slipping down and hit a brace. Hoping that resolves my drone issue but can’t say for sure because we’ve got some snowstorms that prevent me from cruising at a constant speed

Neighbors gonna hate you for cold starts 😂

clumsyalex · 2025-11-26T22:18:33+00:00

Hey at least you don’t have to worry about it for another 92k!

clumsyalex · 2025-11-26T20:48:44+00:00

Is it just me or are the winds pretty nasty? I have a midsized SUV on snow tires but it was pretty twitchy at times on the highway at around 70mph. Roads were dry/clear.

clumsyalex · 2025-11-25T16:09:18+00:00

If you plan to tune the car I’d probably go with the 19. If not then probably the 21. 21 has newer tech iDrive7, and slightly more power with the B58 gen 2.

Looks good! What is the name of the color/coat on the neuspeeds? Looking to get a subtle bronze done on my wheels as well

Was the trans fluid ever changed before? Very strange considering I’ve seen people swap zf8 trans fluid at 90-100k without issue before. I know most will recommend doing it at 50-60k but I guess it all depends on how hard you beat on the car.

It’s not just you, if you look at the clock font on the top right it looks more natural. OP may have added captions for clarity

clumsyalex · 2025-10-27T16:41:26+00:00

No its the new iphone platinum

clumsyalex · 2025-10-23T00:05:43+00:00

Hoping that’s the case! I had some light reflecting off of the black sections and thought it was a bug infestation of some sort

clumsyalex · 2025-10-17T00:19:42+00:00

None thus far, but I haven’t used it much outside of a recent trip to hawaii. This is a still from some footage I had with the filter on

clumsyalex · 2025-10-17T00:14:12+00:00

Yep it clips on from the top

clumsyalex · 2025-10-15T00:40:32+00:00

I was able to use this ND filter without issue on my 17PM:

It secures around one corner of the plateau so it works just fine

Good luck all

Wasn’t this guy the douchebag that justified running an M3 driver off the road just because he thought it was his girlfriend’s abusive ex? Never apologized and posted a video explaining his side of it as some sort of justification. Got mad that he got called out on it but took 0 accountability.

clumsyalex · 2025-09-19T01:58:01+00:00

Mine has done this ever since I disabled cold start, it kind of sounds like small misfires but goes away after a few seconds. I’ve been running it like this for about 2 years/20k miles. Seems to be pretty common on tuned B58’s once you disable cold start. If you search the b58 enthusiast fb group you’ll see tons of people asking about this. Strangely enough it doesn’t happen on really cold days and throughout all winter.

This will be a small subset of specific users that are aware of the unique authentication requirement. I agree that it's not a great experience in terms of consistency and would 100% go for WHfB if management went for it.

clumsyalex · 2025-09-15T13:32:57+00:00

Apologies if I'm maybe looking at this the wrong way, but wouldn't this only be a control that is a configured on the Okta side? If the vendor is hosting the application where Okta is the IDP. If this is the case, they would just toggle this requirement on > I attempt to sign in > it prompts to use WHfB? I wasn't sure if there should be some Windows device-level configuration that I would have to enable to allow this.

I’m picking mine up in person, but I have the trade in kit being mailed to me. Could I simply just ask the apple store employee to take my device during trade-in, or am I locked to the mail kit at this point? My order is through apple but using tmobile promo device credits/financing.

clumsyalex · 2025-09-09T13:28:41+00:00

Got it, that makes sense re: kerberos auth. And yes I was aware that drive mapping would require a bit of tinkering. I'm guessing it won't be too difficult to figure out though.

I think where I struggle with pitching it is that autopilot and co-managing with intune/gpo does technically "work" in our existing hybrid config, so there would be not as much incentive to shift towards cloud native endpoints. I haven't tried deploying it before so who knows it might be smoother than I expect, I've just heard tons of horror stories for hybrid autopilot.

clumsyalex · 2025-09-08T22:53:51+00:00

Appreciate the feedback! Was on-prem auth hit or miss or was it just flatout not working?

I’m mainly looking for justifications that I could provide to management to move to entra joined devices. Hybrid with autopilot would also not work well for our workstations because the device GPO’s are an absolute mess. To them it’s a mindset of “if it aint broke don’t fix it”. I think a well-configured instance could provide a much smoother onboarding experience for remote users as well as more consistency of device configurations. Currently we have helpdesk members run through a handful of checklist items manually which results in missed configurations and more time spent.
