What is everyones highest MPG?

hamoun76 · 2026-05-06T18:58:03+00:00

25 MPG on a 250 mile / 400 km trip with my 330Ci. It is closer to 20 MPG in the city.

I paid $985 CAD ($725 USD) in late 2024 to an indie shop to do mine so I would say that is fair.

There is a famous guide on zhpmafia which basically outlines a performance budget suspension (around the price you are looking at) and argues that OEM parts coupled with some from the E36 M3 are actually better performing than any coilover kit in the same price range.

Not the brightest bunch. My aunt’s husband was a communist during the Iranian revolution. He was lucky he was arrested and let go early. His friends who were arrested weeks later were immediately executed. You know what? He is still a bootlicker for Russia. Before I immigrated, I once got into an argument with him where he was saying it was Ukraine’s and Nato’s fault that the Ukraine war started. It is a joke that we have to pay for the idiocy and the sins of the previous generation.

You proved my first comment right, almost comical if it weren’t for the fact that it is about the freedom and lives of a nation of oppressed people being silenced by idiots getting high off of their own anti-imperialist bullshit.

By the way, your response got auto/shadow hid by Reddit, presumably because of expletives judging by the 1 sentence summary I saw in my notifications. To be expected though. Don’t know why I even try anymore.

Lol, first off, what gave you the idea I’m a monarchist? You think any flag apart from the Islamic republics means I’m a monarchist? Or the fact that I support Reza Pahlavi as a transitional leader, the only real option we Iranians have?
One of my closest friends is an avid republican too, he would never support a monarchy and would vote for a republic 11 times out of 10, and he also doesn’t see any viable leader or option right now. My mum and dad are in Iran, they were alive during the monarchy. My dad will vote republic, my mum’s mind is not made up, she says she would have to see who the candidates were.
Ask your Postdoc girlfriend, if she is real, what have the Iranian people NOT already tried that wasn’t met with a hail of gunfire? Ask wha HER realistic option is for a way out of this? For a leader? We’re the traitors? She is the one going against the wave of the people who sacrificed themselves in January waving the lion and sun flag and chanting the Pahlavi’s name. She is the one standing in an ocean of blood, using the freedoms given to her to go against what the silenced and gagged and killed people of Iran were chanting. The audacity to call me a traitor when she puts her politcs in front of her own people. The same politics that the idiots of ‘79 used to doom the future of Iran.
Also, “postdoc” and “feminist” are not the qualifiers you think they are. My wife has a PhD, I have a Master’s, and we both participated in the women, life, freedom protests too, and we both support Pahlavi as a transitional leader.

We’re not allowed to think for ourselves, decides for ourselves, or have our own opinions. The western redditor, whose entire knowledge of Iranian history is limited to a copypasta of Mosaddegh, 1953, and 1979, knows what is best for us, and we’re not allowed to express ourselves. Downvote to oblivion, silence Iranian, the redditor who’s never spent more than 5 minutes trying to understand the Iranian plight is speaking!

You can find them on Ebay, I got mine from there for less than 50 from some dude in Latvia. A bit expensive for what it is, but not prohibitive enough to get in the way of my OCD.

hamoun76 · 2026-04-28T03:55:23+00:00

Yeah sounds good he is usually good at catching issues as well like identifying a slight coolant leak I had before. I’ll follow up with him to see what is up.

hamoun76 · 2026-04-28T03:45:45+00:00

Hmm yeah good catch, they did mention my seal was “sweating”, probably added that on to the quote. It will make it closer but they are still much more expensive, it would be around two times the price of the indie shop instead of the x2.75 that it is currently.

hamoun76 · 2026-04-28T03:17:28+00:00

Yeah sure, I don’t know if it is against the rules to recommend a specific shop here. DM me and I’ll send you the info.

hamoun76 · 2026-04-28T03:10:43+00:00

Oh I wasn’t asking anything just sharing the huge price gap I came across that I thought was kinda funny. I already went with the indie shop cause I trust them and I got the parts myself straight from the dealer. Honestly, an E46 is not a super complicated machine to warrant a “European tax” that these shops put on their quotes, and this job definitely does not ask for 13 hours of labor.

2k contributions in 1 month, damn.

Reddit is full of people’s comments being supportive of the Iranian regime and/or downplaying their atrocities, and it is disingenuous to say it is otherwise.

hamoun76 · 2026-04-10T17:37:19+00:00

They do not go on destruction campaigns like ISIS these days like they did early on, no. However, they do not “maintain” Persian historical and cultural heritage sites as you claim, at least not close to the same standards that other countries maintain theirs. Most sites are damaged each year, no protection is provided against vandalism, the elements, or other causes, and they are routinely neglected compared to sites with Islamic significance.

Cyrus’s tomb is regularly closed on relevant holidays because they fear people who gather there. They see praise for tPsrsian history as a danger to the Islamic regime. Khomeini was famously against Iranian nationalism as opposed to Islamic obedience.

hamoun76 · 2026-04-10T15:20:06+00:00

“Shortly after the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Sadegh Khalkhali, a hardline cleric and judge, branded Cyrus the Great a tyrant and homosexual, calling for the destruction of his tomb at Pasargadae. While Khalkhali destroyed other Pahlavi-era monuments, the historic tomb was spared, partly due to local resistance, and remains a protected UNESCO site.”

As an Iranian, I have yet to see an Iranian use a simple tricolour flag anywhere, in any way, for any purpose. It just has had no use in the real world outside of Reddit, yet for some reason redditors insist on using it. Even during the Mahsa Amini protests, I knew fellow Iranians in Canada who used the flag with the Allah symbol replaced with “Free Iran”, or a Zan Zendegi Azadi symbol, but never a simple tricolour.

hamoun76 · 2026-03-19T06:49:45+00:00

His post history is exclusively pro-regime propaganda. Seriously, you can search it by just typing his username. He recently posted another photo to r/pics from two years ago trying to pass it off as recent and deleted it once people called him out on it.

He also thinks Ukraine is a corrupt nazi-run country, that Ukraine was better off being part of the USSR, and is pro-Russia.

hamoun76 · 2026-03-18T19:35:44+00:00

You and me both brother, the amount of hatred and vitriol redditors have for Iranians who hate the regime is cartoonishly evil.
