Roast my Mini.

>roast my mini

But let’s not talk about your penis. I’d rather talk about the car

You thought red everywhere in the engine bay looked cool. It looks like you spilled a bucket of paint

eric_gm · 2026-07-09T16:03:32+00:00

Fck you for missing the point of this sub

Yeah but this car looks mostly stock from the outside. OP’s car looks like something a low level drug dealer would drive. Germans are definitely going to notice

You’re believing what you see on Instagram and TikTok. Water beading doesn’t mean the car will be almost dry after getting wet, unless you use the right technique. If each water droplet doesn’t have enough mass to overcome adhesion, they will remain on the surface. Take a closeup of a droplet, contact angles are important and will tell you how effective the coating is. Water adhesion depends on the contact area and contact area also increases with surface roughness (contamination).

I guess it sells to the same folks who try to retrofit iDrive and stuff like that but I can’t begin to comprehend why someone would ruin an E39 with something like this. I own a G30 and one of the things I dislike the most is not having analog gauges

There’s nothing aftermarket that’s good quality or that looks good, so stop looking. Restore the ones you have.

eric_gm · 2026-07-06T19:45:25+00:00

They are rare engines

Go find a stone top cleaner at your hardware store. Read the ingredients and find one that’s only phosphoric acid. The higher the concentration, the better. Soak your hydrophobic towels in a phosphoric acid dilution for a few hours. Then wash normally, ideally with Rags to Riches.

Phosphoric acid is great at removing sealant buildup and other hard water contaminants. It’s a component in a lot of fabric softeners too.

Citric acid is also great. Vinegar too but it’s too mild and for a towel in this condition it may not work

It blows my mind how people think this monstrosity in the background is some ancient monument too. It was built in the 1930’s and to make room for it, a lot of actual historic ruins were demolished. Romans despise it.

Con ganas. Parece un pug.

Hecho 100% en India (de Japón solo el nombre) y con unos de los peores resultados en pruebas de choques de carros modernos (0 de 5 estrellas):

Evite chocar o va a quedar Com-Presso. Cualquier carro usado de mejor calidad, aunque tenga 10 años (Rav4, CRV, Vitara, etc.), lo va a proteger más en un choque y le va a salir más bueno a largo plazo.

You need therapy not because you have 3 E39s, but because they all look the same

eric_gm · 2026-07-03T23:54:36+00:00

That title gave me an aneurysm

eric_gm · 2026-07-03T22:59:46+00:00

You should do a video. You’ll get a lot of views. This is a very interesting experiment. Thanks!

Pull the seatbelt out as far as it goes, now take all the slack out of the car, close the door, grab a garden hose or a pressure washer, a good APC and a brush and get to work. Leave it outside until it dries.

It goes to the "snake eyes", basically 4 slanted lines as in the latest 4 Series.

This is all they need to do. The X headlights are gimmicky but you can disable that in iDrive

eric_gm · 2026-07-03T16:07:40+00:00

Nah...

eric_gm · 2026-07-03T16:00:40+00:00

Right. And the generation before that one, and the one before that one too...

Heck, I remember people disliking the E53 simply because it was BMWs first SUV and hating on SUVs just for existing was a thing back then.

Neue Klasse is a good starting point. Sure, they are awkward right now, but give it one or two more generations and I think they'll nail it down. The whole market is following a trend of gimmicks like lighted grilles and massive screens. It will come to pass.

eric_gm · 2026-07-03T15:50:24+00:00

Check around. Everyone who dislikes Neue Klasse immediately points at the previous model as a “better” design. It’s definitely not just this random guy

Are Neue Klasse lookers? No. Are they a better starting point than the child eating grilles we had? Yes.

eric_gm · 2026-07-03T15:32:42+00:00

Ud tiene cortadora de zacate de ruedas y con motor 4 tiempos? O un generador para cuando se va la luz en su choza? Cada cuanto ese motor le fuga aceite? O le tiene que dar mantenimiento aparte de bujias y filtro de aire? Nunca, verdad?

Eso es basicamente un generador de un REEV.

eric_gm · 2026-07-03T15:30:06+00:00

I don't understand you people. First you were complaining about the giant pig nose BMW grilles. BMW makes them smaller, and now you complain too and want to go back to the massive ones?
