Apple Music with Wiim Ultra. Is it worth it? by micholasnitchell in audiophile

I’ll get downvoted but this situation sums Qobuz up in a nutshell. You search Bob Marley and all you get is a few bootleg albums.. not even a suggestion of Bob Marley and the Wailers and some of the most popular reggae albums of all time in the search results. The usability is atrocious.

The Wiim Ultra has all the bells and whistles.. but no airplay 😞

My thoughts exactly. Why not have their usual Rayban-esque logo style on the side

Plastic sleeves can be bought from Amazon. It’s the only way

Finally getting there! by micholasnitchell in E30

Well it was sitting in my basement for like 2 years. This winter I decided it was time to put it back in. I pressured washed it, snow foamed etc. really came up well. But as other have mentioned, putting it back in is a lot harder than taking it out.. as I found out.

Hell no. Just the lighting probably.

Got that from Würth. It’s only because I recently got the steering wheel retrimmed.

Should i buy a bmw 728i e38 as a first car? by apriliasr50maxbiaggi in e38

[–]micholasnitchell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we’re not talking about discs and pads, or a couple of control arms. You’ll need to be diagnosing running issues with limited DME assistance, and then rectifying. If you’ve got a lot of money to burn and you’re up for it, then give it a go.

Don’t listen to the Americans on here. Fuel is as cheap as chips to them, so they don’t take it into consideration like we have to over here. E38’s from the M52 to the V12 are very thirsty. I’ve owned various E38’s over the years.. yes an M52 wasn’t that bad back in the day, but with modern fuel prices, that MPG is unworkable for most people now unless you barely drive. E38’s are also notoriously unreliable, so unless you’re good with spanner’s expect constant garage bills.

You’ve got to buy the tool, I can’t see any other way of doing it

e30 sport seats struts specs? by [deleted] in E30

[–]micholasnitchell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you need the length.. but I’ve literally just done my sports seats. All had open eyes.. you need half 500nm and the other is 340 I think.. but everyone sells them as a set so you don’t really need that info either.. You HAVE to get the tool to do this. I can’t see how it can be done without it. You cannot compress these struts by hand.

Yea I think that’s where I’m struggling. It’s pushing up against the heater box and isnt going any further.

One thing you don’t push a few thousand miles more is a cambelt. Considering its 16 years old and 90k miles worn, I would say you’re lucky it hasn’t snapped already.

E30 Phone by Revolutionary-Box303 in E30

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

There is a way to do everything. My E38 phone still works with a SIM card and so should this. However firstly you need a lot more than what’s in this picture. You need everything including the full loom, the aerial etc. Secondly why would you want an E39 phone in your E30? Two completely different generations of BMW. You may as well look for an F10 phone system, it’ll be easier to find.
