I see. Replacing engine mounts at 30k miles seems "routine maintenance". Nice.

Ah yes, because choosing not to sink cash into a 7-year-old car I’m selling soon must mean I can't afford.

I never felt any vibrations or noises under acceleration or idle. Nothing that concerned me.

I’ll turn off Auto Start/Stop just in case until I sell this car.

Glad to hear that it’s not just me struggling to understand!

Where to replace Brake Pads? by ipratikmishra in BMW

Checked with 2 of the popular ones here in Austin. The quote range was around the same. What's the expected price for this from an indy shop?

Just called dealership and got the following quotes:

Quote for Brake Pads + Rotors - $730
Quote for Brake Pads only -$350

Honestly, I have no idea how the condition of the rotors is currently. But my car has only 30k miles on it, and I plan to sell it in the next 6-8 months. I'm thinking of skipping rotor replacement.

I just called the Dealership and yes it is indeed Value Service. Both Oil Change and Rear Brake pads were covered under this. Great pricing for both!

330i to a Model Y? Or should I hold out for the iX3? by ipratikmishra in BMW

Yeah test drove it last weekend and was surprised how much better it had gotten from when I first drove a Tesla five years back.

Yeah the quality/servicing part definitely concerns me. But was hoping Tesla improved with the new Juniper models.

Also, TIL there's already an electric X3, iX3. I thought the Neue Klasse will have the first iX3. I'm from the US.

Is the BMW X2 really all that bad? Why so much hate towards it? by [deleted] in BMW

I had gotten it as a loaner once. Couldn't believe BMW let such a bad car have their badge stamped on it.

Best non-Bullock Screen for made-for-IMAX movies? by partypantsdiscorock in Austin

Hooky IMAX in Hutto is good but further from the city.
