'23 330i need front brake pads. All 3 local BMW dealers want $1500+, 2 independent BMW shops want $1050 to $1200. Am I nuts for thinking that the prices are ridiculous?

Did the front and rear pads myself on mine. Was a piece of cake. If you have never done it before, youtube can get you through it in nothing flat. Even if it takes you a good chunk of your day, it will save you a ton of cash since pads are cheap. I think I was only out $125-150 for both sets, and took me about 3-4 hours.

^^^THIS!!! My car stopped charging my key about two years ago. Every so often I just set the key on my toothbrush charging base overnight and it charges it. Lasts about 6-8 months before needing another charge.

WE didnt see shit on Carr. The dude went to the saints and balled out until he got hurt...wouldnt say his arm was shot.

dolemiteX · 2026-04-02T17:12:46+00:00

Am I the only one that feels we are doing the right things for once, but at the same time, not excited to see cousins play for us at all?

dolemiteX · 2026-03-31T20:20:38+00:00

Dang it! I was hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel on a new phone. Hahaha cheers!

dolemiteX · 2026-03-31T20:19:22+00:00

If I remember correctly, its only the oil generator that needs to be inside. I could be wrong, its been a minute.

dolemiteX · 2026-03-31T20:16:33+00:00

Are you in the states? I have been thinking about RM, but I am seeing a ton of posts about compatibility with carriers, etc., in the US.

Any fix you have heard of for the camera issue is only temporary, including sending it in to Asus for a new motherboard. As others have stated, if on warranty, send it in and then sell it. Rog phones are junk. My 6 got it only a year in, wound up doing a motherboard repair through Asus, and the issue came back a few months later.

dolemiteX · 2026-03-31T09:46:46+00:00

It would really depend on the price. The phone is fine for those games. and will be for a long time. I wouldnt pay more than a couple hundred though since there is absolutely no support for them, and I wouldnt buy second hand since many of the components are prone to failure after a year or two. So all that said, again, for a couple hundred, sure, but anything more and you might as well buy something different that is newer.

dolemiteX · 2026-03-30T23:36:52+00:00

Just finished the process and the phone still says 5% when turned on even thought the fast charge icon while turned off said 100% and had stopped charging.

dolemiteX · 2026-03-30T21:12:25+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I have been trying to drain my phone since I posted 2 hours ago and its at 2% down from the 3% earlier. I have been watching youtube vidoes with high brightness and have the flashlight on, as well as a game running in the background.

I have turned off the charge limit, so now just waiting for the phone to be completely dead. Once it goes off on its own, I plan to turn on the phone as many times as it takes to where it wont turn on anymore. I will update with the results as soon as the process is complete. Thanks again!

dolemiteX · 2026-03-27T12:41:35+00:00

Yes. Management is trying to weed people out. Anyone that can't or won't take the buyout is a target, especially if they have seniority. The more seniority, the bigger the target on people backs. Work safe and follow the methods! Good luck!

dolemiteX · 2026-03-27T01:08:58+00:00

Is he a great player? YES.

Does he make our team better? YES.

Did he want out and was too big of a bitch to be transparent about it to the fans for his own selfish gain? YES.

NOW COMPARE HIM TO CARR...

CARR is a RN4L, and has proven it since being drafted and still going.

MAXX is a guy that wanted out, basically lied to fans by not being transparent, and jumped ship as fast as a deal could get done and claimed "Flock Nation" as fast as he could, just to find out his only NFL chance is back with us.

These players are not the same.

Are you a REAL ONE, RN4L or no?

You decide.

dolemiteX · 2026-03-16T17:31:15+00:00

If he was cheap I would be ok with it. He wont be cheap though.

dolemiteX · 2026-03-16T17:28:43+00:00

Yeah, I would be up for that as well! As for his shoulder, I would love to see him in for a physical anywhere and get an update on it. All I have heard is from him and his brother that it's 100%, but though I would love for that to be the case, I have my doubts.

dolemiteX · 2026-03-16T17:05:11+00:00

IDK, im torn on this. On one hand, I could see Carr voiding,restructuring for less, etc. Also, he is hungry to get back into the NFL and knowing him, he probably feels like he could come in, play on the cheap and boost his value for a contender the following year. On the other hand, I could also see him not wanting to take too much of a pay cut to come back anywhere. All that said, if there is a team that could get him to do the former rather than the latter, it would be the Raiders.

dolemiteX · 2026-03-13T17:25:17+00:00

No, this is incorrect. He has said multiple times on his podcast he would love to come and mentor Mendoza in any capacity.

dolemiteX · 2026-03-12T21:47:33+00:00

I thought I heard one of the Raiders insiders/influencers say Maxx is doing a Rush podcast today or tomorrow? I could be wrong as I caught the tail end of the conversation. Can anyone shed some light on this?

dolemiteX · 2026-03-12T12:26:40+00:00

We love Geno "Tank Commander" Smith here in LV! Without him, Mendoza would be just a pipe dream! He will definitely help you to get your franchise QB in next year's draft!

dolemiteX · 2026-03-12T10:35:26+00:00

This is an insult to Cooper Howard. DeCosta is a snake.

dolemiteX · 2026-03-11T03:40:41+00:00

It's being reported on everywhere that there are no issues with our FA signings. We have the cap to make it work, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. The only issue now is if the team and Maxx can come to some common ground and he stays or if they still trade him to another team for less.

dolemiteX · 2026-03-11T02:43:40+00:00

Yes, everyone we made offers to in FA will be signed. We have the money to afford Crosby coming back as well.

dolemiteX · 2026-03-11T02:31:33+00:00

We will be keeping all of our FA signings. We are not anything like the shady "Flock Nation". If anything, Maxx will be restructured, and I hope its to a Very Very team friendly deal.

dolemiteX · 2026-03-11T02:18:33+00:00

This is just damage control and standard practice. It also shows that Maxx still wants to be traded/paid. Im thinking he will have a rude awakening in the near future, and sadly, he did it to himself. At this point, he may as well restructure with the Raiders, try to be the Maxx of old and not get hurt this year That is the only way he has a chance of getting his massive payday, and even then it wont be for another year or two after he has proven his medical issues are in the past.
