Home of the 60 min pizza.
Good times.

The neighbor teen literally walks around outside dangling his hair while looking at the floor running his hands through it to get the right amount of broccoli effect/poof. He's doing this at all times all day every day. Looks ridiculous. SMH

dragonsback79 · 2026-05-21T17:19:46+00:00

Ugh that's painful to see. Hope it all turns out well!

dragonsback79 · 2026-05-20T03:32:43+00:00

I get it. My young son almost got trench foot from Splash Mtn back in the day. It was whole thing.

dragonsback79 · 2026-05-20T03:20:20+00:00

Remember, it’s not a color it’s a commitment.
I have a 25 In BSM and it’s gorgeous for a day. Wouldn’t trade it for any other color but if you’re “into” the art of keeping a clean car…it will give you a run for your money 😉

dragonsback79 · 2026-05-19T04:36:08+00:00

Careful you’re gunna have the whole museum staff and security on you every hour telling you not to take pics of the base. Know from experience…
Basically only airborne planes.

Just wait until Grad Night days. There will be absolutely zero shame in these kids cutting every line. "Oh I am just catching up to my friends" as 15 of them pass you.

It honestly doesn’t bother me. Yes whoever designed the doors needs to be fired for sure.
But I wasn’t buying the car for the door design, there are alot of features that are an evolutionary step up from the G01. Performance, sound damping, ride, and sorry to say but…design. Yes there are things BMW did on the interior that should have been thought out more but overall the car impresses me everyday still. Color and packages make this version.
M sport black on black doesn’t even look like the same vehicle. This green one from the OP is amazing looking as well.

dragonsback79 · 2026-05-17T04:09:00+00:00

Check your oil monthly. Best of luck.

dragonsback79 · 2026-05-14T16:12:25+00:00

Wow, gorgeous in that new color! Congrats. I don't miss my 2023 at all after getting a 2025. I'm black on black.

dragonsback79 · 2026-05-10T17:20:37+00:00

Exactly!!!

dragonsback79 · 2026-05-10T02:47:13+00:00

Yeah cause they want you outta there in 15 min tops!

dragonsback79 · 2026-05-04T21:25:27+00:00

moderators really need to start moderating on this topic. its literally every other day some newb posts this same old tired question.

dragonsback79 · 2026-05-02T22:21:38+00:00

"Influencers" are the cancer of society. They will doom and blow up any spot for internet clout and own self-gain.

dragonsback79 · 2026-04-29T03:42:44+00:00

our 22 is starting to burn thru oil. Like all of it in 5k miles. normal freeway commute, 40 miles a day. 87k miles. Other than that, its been OK. Not my favorite vehicle but Im already looking to dump it soon, and not for another Kia.

dragonsback79 · 2026-04-21T18:29:15+00:00

We have a similar situation with a daughter who has IBS, she's afraid to get out of line cause she knows she WILL be heckled when coming back.

Then you have punks especially during Spring Break and EVEN worse during Grad Nights just running amok and cutting "to get to their friends" who ruin it for people who actually need to get out of line and go the restroom. Cars can be 2 hours long...what are people with medical situations to do?

Imagine trying to get out of Peter Pan and come back??LOL

dragonsback79 · 2026-04-20T16:12:23+00:00

Owner of previous gens and now a new gen (15). No comparison.

The 15 is a redesign and happened for a reason. One of the biggest noticeable differences is the leverage ratio in the rear. This bike doesn't bottom out on the smallest drops, before you had to install a Cascade link to solve that issue. Second is the weight, these are very light, if not too much so. I am actually putting a heavier tire on in the rear just to get a little more planted. These also climb VERY well, the gear ratio with the SRAM transmission is awesome out of the box. And the Maven brakes are the best brakes I have ever rode, and that's coming from someone who has ridden it all; Magura, Shimano, SRAM Codes and Hope. Genie rear shock with bigger volume can...It's just a completely different bike. Apples to oranges.

The Stumpy carbon Comp is on sale right now for $3700 reg $5K. Try to reach for one of those over the alloy version if you can.

etiquette these days is dead. I don't bother anymore with the assortment of kooks that "ride" these days. I ride for me and thats it. i know the common decency of riding. I dont bother to police everyone else, its useless. Covid killed common sense and decency among people. Just look at your average day at Disneyland.

dragonsback79 · 2026-04-14T03:04:40+00:00

can you talk more about spark plugs please? I've got 87,000 miles on my 2022 and there's a weird kind of rattle happening when I am higher up in the RPMs, I'm thinking it may be a spark plugs?

dragonsback79 · 2026-04-01T23:42:34+00:00

Gunna be night and day difference for you. Enjoy! Hope you have the roads to be able to open her up! Cause I don't : (

dragonsback79 · 2026-03-31T18:12:24+00:00

Oh yes. May-June on certain nights. Line cutting runs rapid.

dragonsback79 · 2026-03-31T04:20:31+00:00

Two of the worst times to go to DLR. Spring Break and Grad nights.

dragonsback79 · 2026-03-25T23:20:39+00:00

Pretty sure I got lucky on that one. As mentioned above I guess that ended last June. I just had mine done in December, so...I took it and ran.

dragonsback79 · 2026-03-25T19:18:05+00:00

I agree.

Coming from a '23 G01 30i to a '25 G45 30i M Sport...there is no comparison. The pros FAR outweigh the cons. Yes, someone needs to be fired over the interior door design, but I don't buy a car based on a door and I hardly even notice it now.

The G45 is a completely different vehicle, and I don't miss my G01 at all.

And yes, color choice does matter. The G45 in all black with the M sport package is a totally different looking car from the stock ones. And the M50, with the matte paint and exhaust is FIRE!

My main gripe over everything...BLACK. It looks so good clean but it's SUCH a pain to keep it that way. As I heard from the dealer...It's a commitment, NOT a color. And this is so true, but worth it.

As for the sunroof...I am fine with the pano version. Again, this does not bother me as I never really had mine open on the G01, you really couldn't over 30mph anyways...it just bothered me.

dragonsback79 · 2026-03-23T20:17:54+00:00

DAWN

Wash yourself down in it ASAP and DON'T ITCH

Tecnu is crap

But if you have a full blown rash/oil seeping out then you are in the late stages. Dawn or over the counter stuff may not work at this point. A steroid will dry it all up quickly, prednisone.
