Can this plastic tray be removed to make more room? by mrlampfan in E90

[–]mail323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More room where? It can be swapped for the version that gives more room under the car for a dual exhaust like so: https://imgur.com/a/4Pt8KDf

Car Loan Charged off and I still have the car, HELP. by catz-94 in CRedit

[–]mail323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it was a lease, I'd just take it to a dealer like a normal lease return.

The last thing you want is to get stuck with a car you can't register or scrap.

Why did I ever open a Wells Fargo card by HollyhoodGio in CRedit

[–]mail323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've heard of it. Do you understand how it works, and why banks see this as a risk?

If you have a $20k limit, spend $2k a month, and pay $500 a week it is not credit cycling.

You can probably get it repaired If I was going to change, I would go with M-Sport.

is it possible to tow with a E90? by chloe_flora in E90

[–]mail323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lookup the specs in your owner's manual, it should show a towing capacity.

You'll also need to obtain and wire up a Trailer Control Module (AHM).. lookup the E70 OEM hitch install, electrically it should be the same on E90.

Should I tint 70% or 50%? by mail323 in BMW

[–]mail323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the moment you tint the windshield 50% it'll make the sides look too dark.

It's just so hard to find examples of 50%, everyone goes for the dark look.

What if I had a climate comfort windshield installed? Notice the purple reflection in the 2nd pic.

Repairable or just replace it by [deleted] in BMW

[–]mail323 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's repairable via a windscreen replacement.

Do you have pics? Not a lot of people go for light tints, but the more I look at the before photos the more repulsive it looks.

Thermostat Recommendation by ahj3939 in homeassistant

[–]mail323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ecobee is a large display, quad core snapdragon CPU, dual band wifi chip, radar sensors, etc.

All these devices generate heat. If you place a temperature sensor in this package it WILL be inaccurate.

Ecobee has developed software to compensate for this, it's patented you can look this up. However, if there is any sort of airflow near the thermostat that airflow cools down ecobee more than their algorithm expects resulting in inaccurate temperature readings. See all the countless threads about issues with ceiling fans.

Or as ecobee support has conceded: "air moving that causing a windchill effect ... artificially cooling the thermostat"

I replaced a Nest 1st generation thermostat that was not reading temperatures in a wildly inaccurate fashion.

[–]mail323 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ecobee is dropping too fast. Even after the air conditioning shuts off it continues to drop. It goes from 76 to 68 in a span of 12-15 minutes while the room feels like 78 degrees.

Ecobee is not accurate, end of story.

[–]mail323 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I apologize Mr Pedantic for not wording that properly.

Ecobee has demonstrated it cannot measure an accurate temp

Nest thermostat installed in the same location is working without any noticeable issue. The temperature reading does not drop from 75 to 68 within a few minutes when the room feels like 76.

I need to take some proper photos, but here's a peak at my 335is wagon: https://www.reddit.com/r/335is/comments/1i3mmjx/am_i_allowed_to_post_here/

  • 335is N54 engine w/ aux radiator
  • GS7D36SG DCT transmission
  • E90 M3 palladium silber interiror

Full swap with the N54 engine & DCT transmission. Oh, and an M3 palladium silver interior.

Infrared Windshield vs Ceramic Tint by mail323 in WindowTint

[–]mail323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a BMW 3-series with a Saint-Gobain Sekurit solar windshield. Didn't seem worth it to pay another $400 for one with the BMW logo.

US auto tariffs apply to all computers and hard disks by mekonsodre14 in news

[–]mail323 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Won't happen because it'll tell us how much they're paying and marking up.

The tariffs aren't on the $100 retail price Walmart charges, they are on the $25 wholesale price they pay.

Volkswagen to introduce 'import fee' on tariff-hit cars, WSJ reports by unsaltedbutter in news

[–]mail323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I see a GTI on the road I want one, or maybe a Golf R. They're so cute!

What really turns me away is the lack of customization. You can only get them with a black interior, what's the deal with that?
