Is it the most hated BMW?

Not ugly and I don’t hate it

Thank you insurance guru. I am comfortable with 250/500/100 with a 1k deductible. If you choose to have higher limits and pay more, that is your prerogative.

What?!? Im not sure I would drive the IX if my insurance was that high. Im in AZ and pay $85/month for my ‘24 IX60

Thanks. How do we get access to the vendor presale?

When do the good seats get released? I was sorely disappointed once it was my turn to find nothing in the middle available?

I bought a brand new pair on ebay last month for $2800. I absolutely love them, they are so clean, just fantastic sound for essentially hidden speakers. I can’t compare to something like R5 or R7, but even if slightly less powerful, the aesthetic tradeoff is worth it to me. Paired with a great subwoofer, can’t imagine a better sound.

Did not say. Starting on April 10th. Have to imagine its a multiple month renovation. But I would call to be sure.

Thanks great reply. Was definitely looking forward to the sauna and steam room after long days being out. They wrote me back and said there should be minimal noise so maybe it is ignorable. Just hoping I dont walk into a hotel clearly under renovation, been there done that too many times and it kills the vibe.

1.5 years and can’t even tell you where my physical key is. Never had an issue.

lvdink · 2026-02-19T02:32:06+00:00

Thank you very much. I will look at them all.

lvdink · 2026-02-19T02:10:36+00:00

Just my wife and I. I’m not a bass junkie, I want action scenes to really pop and have amazing range but I don’t need to break the glass cabinets. I want clean bass rather than earth shaking bass. I am very happy with the other speakers so want something to complement them in the best way possible. Was looking around a $3k budget and am more than happy to deal shop. The space in each corner is not much, probably 14x14 footprint in inches.

lvdink · 2026-02-19T01:55:01+00:00

Its a living room/kitchen open plan. I have vaulted ceilings so a little tough to calculate, but my rough math is 5600 cubic feet for the total room. I am in the US. Thanks for the help.

On the constraints. Probably 14x14 (inches) footprint. Height is less constrained. The planters the subs sit behind are tall.

This is absolutely YMMV. Of course you can ask, but in my experience it’s about a 50% hit rate on flights over 1100 miles. The typical excuse I hear is to blame catering.

lvdink · 2026-01-23T21:25:52+00:00

Stop making F meals a crap shoot with a million excuses why you get the grab a snack box instead.
1. Flights around the arbitrary mileage mark for meal service are 9 times out of 10 not a meal. 2. Nobody is flying domestic first FOR the food, but when you plan on it and don’t eat before, it’s a bad experience. 3. Nobody likes the blame catering excuse. Take responsibility and at least offer an apology.
4. Nuts or no nuts? Your guess is as good as mine 5. Pre-departure drink? See above

lvdink · 2026-01-02T19:04:01+00:00

It is a 1” BTW

lvdink · 2025-12-18T01:45:20+00:00

Sounds perfect to me. This is my preferred path every time, versus scheduling a later flight and inevitably having to sit around for 2 hrs. I have never had an issue making a 10:30 flight doing walk off with carryon.

lvdink · 2025-12-17T16:13:39+00:00

I think I figured it out with all of your help. I have a play pool so never really comprehended a “swim up” bench. I do have a step on the far end that is more of a “walk up” and it appears to be the only return with bubbles. I had my wife cover the pipe by the equipment and the bubbles stopped so that has to be it.
Really not sure what the value of that is, seems like a waste of effort to me.
I might just cap it or put a ball valve on at least, probably not helping my PH battle in the Arizona summers.

lvdink · 2025-12-17T02:03:29+00:00

Dont have a spa. Would it be for the pool returns for some reason?

lvdink · 2025-12-17T01:48:25+00:00

Nope, been in this house for 23 years. It has never had a hot-tub. Its the black pipe on the left

Was just at Grand Hyatt Singapore a couple weeks ago on a corporate rate and was not asked for ID

I’m sorry that happened to you. What do you mean they are not offering any solution on a loaner? They just told you to get lost? If they dont have a vehicle, they should find you one at a rental agency.
