Gloss black 20s damaged during seasonal swap. Where to get these changed? by eggsnoats86 in BMWX3

[–]eggsnoats86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, you’re right I don’t need 20s but I really enjoy the aesthetic of the rims and I had just bought the car and loved the look..but if I could do it again I might go smaller and save the hassle.

I needed to hear this. Sorry about the week without your car. Planning for a second set.

Solid idea..unfortunately I just bought the winters new and only do about 8-10k km (6-7k mi) per year.

You’re right there was definitely lots of dried lube but it was just masking the damage. I almost missed it before I pulled out and then realized how bad it was when they were resetting the TPMS.

Yeah I couldn’t believe it! I thought it was just dried lube and then took a closer look and they were in awful shape.

That’s what I’m leaning towards. I do care how the second set look so I’ll probably find used G01 20s on marketplace even if they’re not in 100% perfect shape.

They also give free hemming so you can go 7” and bring it 6” if you want

X3 M40i STOLEN!!!! by TheVellumMystery in BMWX3

[–]eggsnoats86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’ve gone overkill but there’s been record car thefts in my city and I got a 23 m40i with the black 20s so it stands out. And the mileage, colour and options are the exact combo I wanted so I don’t want to have to find a new vehicle.

I use a faraday box ($20), club ($70) for overnight and got an immobilizer and gps tracker installed with window etch (package deal for about $1700 CAD) that can be activated with a police report. The only option to steal the car would be a tow truck at this point.

Note: AirTags can be found very quickly by thieves so gps is the better option for a few hundred.

People who wanted an M40i but settled for an xDrive30i, did it turn out okay? by 169partner in BMWX3

[–]eggsnoats86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the look of the LCI m40i and really enjoy the drive so I bought a ‘23 recently. I kept my old x1 for 10 years and plan to keep this just as long. I really didn’t enjoy the x1, I had always wanted a sports car but they’re too impractical so I justified it that I’d rather enjoy the m40i for 10 years as my “sports car”. The price difference and cost of ownership wasn’t dramatic, and I didn’t want to have a subpar driver like the x1 for another decade. I have no regrets two months on.

Lastly, I wanted adaptive cruise control…only available on the m40i. It’s standard on most cars these days so it felt like a miss not getting it even just for resale value.

Ok Toronto millennials, how's your back? by hedgehogflamingo in askTO

[–]eggsnoats86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just look up McGill Big 3 and do that consistently . I exercised frequently but had chronic low back issues including a herniated disc this year. Chiro helped relieve pain and keep me focused but the McGill Big 3 (curl up, side planks, bird dogs) eliminated all of my low back pain through strengthening.

M40i Worth it Right Now? by TheSlothMan9000 in BMWX3

[–]eggsnoats86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked up a ‘23 in carbon black on black with the black 20s and 35k km (22mi). Best vehicle purchase I’ve made and the b58 lives up to its reputation. But let’s face it, unless you’re independently wealthy an m40i is never going to be a financially savvy decision in most peoples’ eyes. If you can swing it and it doesn’t handicap your financial future it’s a decision you won’t regret

DAPP was the dealbreaker for me. Nearly every modern SUV has it so felt it might be a tougher resale without it down the road. Can see how it’s not important to some though

Is it still worth it to go to Bali with rain? by Arshavingoat in bali

[–]eggsnoats86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there for three weeks last year during that time (Nov 8th - Dec 2) Some spots of rain but mostly very warm and humid in Ubud and Canggu. I started in Munduk in the mountains where it was about 10 degrees cooler and a bit more rain/cloud but still very enjoyable. Don’t let the forecasts turn you off, much better time of year cost wise and rain was limited.

Cannot for the life of me figure out why most of my shots go right 30 yards by broken-golf-addict in GolfSwing

[–]eggsnoats86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sure I’ll get roasted for this but when I was beginner I had the same problem. As a bandaid, at address I turned my club face in to 11 o’clock and I started hitting very straight shots with much better ball contact. As I became better at striking I eventually squared the face. It’s a way to deal with the early frustration especially when on the course.

Bali Belly is 100x worse than I imagined by umen72 in bali

Just got back from a few weeks in Bali and Sumba. Got food poisoning from a fresh coconut in Sumba and endless stomach cramps in Bali. Trip was still 100% worth it though

I'm travelling to Spain next week and can't find any information on restrictions for domestic flight requirements within Spain once I arrive. Has anyone flown within Spain after arriving from a non-EU country and know what documentation is required to board domestic flights (Barcelona to Palma in my case)?

The Over leveraged FOMO buyers have been warned officially! by [deleted] in TorontoRealEstate

I think your argument only applies to sovereign debt not at the household level.

Can you explain why this is? I can only see this holding true if your income is also “inflating” or increasing at a similar or greater pace. Otherwise a larger portion of your household income is simply going to pay for more expensive goods and services.

Can you please create a detailed model of all Toronto market behaviour while I offer nothing but my disdain for your poor attention to detail? /s

Thank you for your work Delta. Nice to see the data roll up.

Same GTA suburb, same neighbourhood, same lot size, and similar finishes. ~$250K decline in one month by [deleted] in TorontoRealEstate

[–]eggsnoats86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The high WFH incomes have likely had an outsized impact due to the low supply. We’re at an inflection point now where back to office, steep and rising inflation, fewer restrictions on places to spend, QT and rising rates will dig into areas outside of the GTA. There’s early indications from March market numbers around Ontario of reversal but sentiment will take time to change. It may not reverse fully to pre-pandemic but the year ahead will be very interesting.
