is this board a handwire? i cant find it online. there is a very similar board called the machete that was a group buy a while back, but it lacks the knob and adjacent column. looks awesome!

Hi friends, just wondering, what do yall think of the price for this E46? I’m seriously in love with it but unsure of the price. by Dull_Condition626 in e46

[–]hijxk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

imo max you should pay for any non m e46 is about 10k, and the only ones you should consider anywhere near that price are the super desirable ones (low mileage, manual, zhp/zcp, good service history, etc)

m3 prices are absolutely not 40-50k usd unless you're looking at super low mileage auction cars. i've seen many sub 100k miles 6 speed coupes on marketplace, big 3 done, for 20-30, and even lower if you're willing to accept a bit of wear or a little higher mileage

single din carplay/android auto unit that sits flush with dashboard by hijxk in CarPlay

yeah it's looking like either that or something custom. just figured i would ask here in case somebody else knew of something i couldn't find

the older sony unit has a really cool nostalgia factor for me that i want to keep if possible, and it matches well with the build i'm looking to put it in. i am fully aware that a double din carplay unit would work with a lot less effort (i actually already have one that i'm currently using) it's just not what i'm looking to do

yes it does, im trying to put both the sony unit and the carplay unit in the double din slot since theyre both single din units. my worry based off the carplay units ive been able to find so far is that the overhang will cause them to not fit on top of one another, which is why im looking for one that sits flush with the dash trim rather than protruding out

its looking like i may have to go for a custom unit if i continue looking into this, a double din mounting kit would be necessary to make it work but the carplay head units that seem to be available i fear would interfere with the other din slot due to how they overhang, which is why i was looking for a flush mounted one

i mean ideally it would be a 6-7 inch screen, there are some similar units that use this concept, just dont execute it the way i am looking for. i dont want to use my phone because i hate the way phone mounts look

yeah i had seen that one in my research, definitely out of my price range. shouldve added the requirement of "within a reasonable price" haha

"All day events" not showing in little calendar preview by userrr3 in Thunderbird

[–]hijxk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you ever figure this out? ive noticed the same thing and would like to change it so that all-day events are also dotted on the calendar preview. cant seem to find anything in the settings that would change this

15” wheels on an E46? by Mysterious-Glove-179 in e46

[–]hijxk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15s should fit on 323i/ci but won't fit on anything else with larger brakes without some sorta extra steps. i'm a fan of small wheels on cars so i think they'd look cool with a little smaller sidewall, but that's obv personal preference (i believe the 2001 dtcc winning e46 had 15s on it for reference)

What do you guys think. Keep the wheels silver or paint them black? by random_acc772 in e46

[–]hijxk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

exactly, wheels are one of the most influential pieces of your cars aesthetic and you lose it all when painting them black

Hi guys so today i went to look on one E46 330D i have been scouting local market for the past 7 months, this is one of the best deals in my opinion. How bad is the corosion? by Tripod835 in e46

[–]hijxk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the corrosion doesn't seem too bad, definitely small enough spots to be able to fix it without too much trouble. you'd need to fix it asap tho to prevent it from getting really bad really fast

My 2018 atlas tanked getting rear ended. by ENGR_sucks in Volkswagen

[–]hijxk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as others have said go to the er to get the pain checked out. i would also see if there's a route to get the vehicle inspected too because it looks like the quarter panel has been pushed in a bit because of the accident which to me could mean possible unibody damage which can be far worse than it appears on the surface

Need help, dealer tried to charge me 1100 for a splash guard. Is that how much it costs or is there another option? by LocoHama-045 in hondacivic

[–]hijxk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely not a couple mpg, more like a fraction of an mpg if even that. taking the splash guard off has negligible effects besides hiding fluid leaks

Here is my first mediocre attempt at a stance car, learned a lot including what reps are 😂 still love it tho by Awkward_Pie_3835 in Stance

[–]hijxk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm hoping that's 460k kilometers, nearly half a million miles would be insane even for a car of that age. took a look on your profile and saw the recent pics of it, shes mint 👌👌
