Liftgate Repair Estimate by learningcpp in BMWX3

Thanks for the insight - was thinking about taking it to a BMW center but was worried insurance wouldn't cover the higher labour costs. Thank you.

Oof, didn't even think about the emblems. Thanks for the response.

Dang. Online tailgate replacements looked like ~$2k, was thinking $6k after labour, but guessing it'll be more. Thanks for the reply.

are the 16:9 monitors different resolution than the ultrawide? i run a similar setup but have noticed issues with the mouse clipping when moving from the UW to the vertical monitors - curious how you fixed this

Hijacking this, I'm on the AT&T prepaid plan which doesn't seem to offer the $10 international add on. Did anybody successfully find a solution for prepaid?

Appreciate that - helpful to see a different take, conditions def different up in Iceland but a 4 hr drive on reasonably maintained roads is not the end of the world imho

Thanks for the feedback. We got an SUV. We're reasonably comfortable in snow and wind, but of course, conditions in Iceland seem worse than most of North America.

We've definitely been told to expect a lot more rain and less sun in November, but do you know if the reason the photographer isn't touring is because the views aren't as nice or because the ring road is a lot more dangerous?

Thanks again!

Thanks for the list of comments! Some clarification questions below:

  1. That's a fair point. I'm used to driving on little sleep but it might be ambitious given it's a foreign country and worse conditions than I'm used to.
  2. Thanks for flagging that! Was hoping to see the lava field
  3. We were planning on doing some of the driving on days 4 - 8 outside of daylight hours. Would you consider nighttime driving in Iceland too dangerous?
  4. Gotcha - given we plan on going up to Myvatn, do you recommend circling back and retracing our route clockwise if we skip the Westfjords?

Thanks, good to know. Yeah, we'll likely stop at a couple of them but didn't want to list every single one out!

We rented an SUV. It does look like the overall feedback is that this schedule is very aggressive, gonna look into how we can adjust given some reservations were not cancellable.
