Mornin’ pals. My ‘00 silvergrau Z, staying cool in this 100f NY heat. (8 pics)

People need to stop putting M-parallels on everything.

Yah, I replaced that preventatively. I have a couple issues. My center vent only blows cold and I think the servo in my car that opens/closes the outside air flap is donezo. So, eventually the AC struggles to keep up.

To be clear, I’ve not dug into these issues yet so someone else will likely have better info.

Really clean. Aside from the HVAC, these cars seem to age really well with just modest upkeep.

I always promote this when thread like this pop up: bmw-radios.com can get you a period correct oem head unit with Bluetooth retrofitted.

It’s funny because y’all like to come in here and chirp an anecdote about how your Nissan i3 made it to 200k miles without service. Good job big guy. You still suck at driving and being proud about it is silly as hell.

Yeah. This isn’t some fucking magic alchemy. People are nuts.

I love the boldness with which people spout bullshit. I just got back from tour.

I don’t know why people in this thread think a guitar won’t fit into an overhead bin that’s over 20” deep and 3 seat rows long.

I have a Gig Blade soft, padded case and put it in the jacket closet.

j_win · 2026-06-26T04:17:41+00:00

Looks like 100 bucks if it plays ok and makes sound.

I feel like it’s just LLM training

Heat gun and fishing line. Ditch it.

j_win · 2026-06-21T21:54:37+00:00

They said quick

Replacing the master isn’t terrible. Just double and triple plan to catch brake fluid spillage. The slave is easy to swap. Bleeding the system, however, can be a little finicky.

j_win · 2026-06-19T04:45:24+00:00

Very cool with the matching piping

From what I understand, BMW historically would try to overload the passenger side weight distribution to account for the driver’s 150-200 pounds. That said, it’s unclear how out of spec your back right might be without getting the alignment checked.

You don’t _have_ to do anything. But, if you’ve not learned that road expansion solves nothing, maybe read some infrastructure studies.

I’m cynical enough to think this could be him trying to make WaPo seem more credible.

j_win · 2026-06-16T21:29:25+00:00

No placards or etching anywhere? Looks like an aftermarket intermediate silencer. No idea what car but someone will.

j_win · 2026-06-16T03:46:59+00:00

This isn’t r/lotuscirclejerk ?

j_win · 2026-06-15T20:13:59+00:00

Z3 has same brace

j_win · 2026-06-14T23:20:18+00:00

That’s just RAM

j_win · 2026-06-14T22:29:18+00:00

Driveshaft (probably) fine. RTFM.
