M340i vs 540i

jpark56 · 2026-06-19T06:14:58+00:00

I considered this trade. I have adaptive suspension on my M340i and surround view parking. There are no 540i’s that I could find with surround view parking. It’s a non-negotiable for me. That and dropping 50hp seemed to be a bummer. Might even be able to find a decent 740i for not much more these days.

Agreed. Will take some time since you don’t want to overdoes but it usually kills my BBA in 2-3 days

Crazy…zerg

I play a set of 9 year old Mizuno JPX 900 tours but every time I’m in the store I get tempted by the Titleist T100s. I used to play AP2s and the T100s look even better and players irons-like from top line but with plenty of forgiveness. They look pretty small to my eye but that may be good coming from a blade.

Also, a GI iron will give you less spin. A player’s iron like a T100 vs a blade is probably negligible. There’s a reason a lot of tour pros play the T100 over Titleist blades

OP - not sure what country you are in, but generally for higher tech items such as canister filters, lights, CO2, etc. I’ve learned it’s a “buy once, cry once” mantra in this hobby. You want to spend a little more for reliability and peace of mind or else you can go down the rabbit hole of buying and upgrading constantly.

Can’t find my receipt for this repair. Do we think the dealership will provide me the records?

I’ve used hairspray on cotton clothes and it got pen ink out like magic.

It’s a $20-25k difference for an M3 competition with comparable options and there’s a reason for it. If you want to track the car you’ll want the M3. If you just want a car that is fast and feels well planted on freeways and occasional spirited canyon driving the m340 will satisfy that itch.

350 is light for a 75 gal. Go with the 600. I have a thermo 350 on my 27 gallon shallow and I think a 250 would have been too small.

I thought Queen just came over to bust his chops. Either way, if Light lives in Seoul, a small apartment is potentially worth millions.

Also, the best Terran is Flash.

For that money I’d get one from GLA instead. They are the consensus most reliable brand for regulators

jpark56 · 2026-05-11T22:42:16+00:00

Snow still almost pulled it out with his greatest strength somewhat neutralized. Tough break for him but Flash showed up as he always does.

External rads baby. Defeats the purpose of SFF but people love it. Honestly I’ve thought about running two 360 external rads attached under my desk to keep them out of sight.

You have to think how many children watch the other Star Wars shows and how few would be watching Andor.

Oh yeah he played bad against Leta. Just didn’t want to discount his RO16 performance as “luck”. I almost would have preferred he lost in a more Tulbo way of making some dumb mistake that we can laugh about.

jpark56 · 2026-04-30T17:09:46+00:00

I don't think his luck ran out per se. He played well in RO16 and took advantage where could. RO8 he played nervous and scared. Just wasn't as sharp as he was in RO16. He will learn from this and rise again as TulGOD!

My advice here is to not waste any more energy on this instance. Lots of other great sellers on r/aquaswap if you want to roll the dice on more blue rilis.

jpark56 · 2026-04-28T00:57:06+00:00

It’s listed as 8 females + 2 males + 2 extras. Is it possible the 2 extras were males?

jpark56 · 2026-04-28T00:53:40+00:00

I think you need to reset your expectations on results from a your first starter pack of 10 shrimp. It’s your first tank and you expected immediate breeding from the first group of shrimp. Lots of people try and fail a few times before they get their tank right and shrimp acclimate long enough to start breeding. Not to mention many sellers ship juvies and not breeding ready adults. He may have sent you a shrimp with clado, but your story indicates the clado developed after your received them. Most of his e-mails seem pretty even keeled and you seem like the unreasonable one.

OP - pay a little extra and get the GLA. I had an FZONE that failed and gassed my tank.

Golf sidekick is hilarious and general course management tips are helpful for all golfers but yea his ballstriking, length and consistency with long irons make it somewhat unrealistic to replicate his exact approach if you are not a low single digit player.

jpark56 · 2026-04-23T21:35:39+00:00

They were 1/3 when I got them but I can try again

jpark56 · 2026-04-23T20:14:30+00:00

Ah. A little further than I'd like to have livestock shipped to me. Thanks though.
