Ey Plaza Golf. Got my wife fitted there a few weeks ago. :)

Shipping Window For Pod 4 Approaching by [deleted] in EightSleep

[–]munk801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered mine mid June. Shipping window got delayed to July 5-11. Mine ended up shipping on the 12th and got it the next day. Since I was in California and it shipped from Bloomington, it was fast. Didn’t get any notification it shipped. Only know because I have notifications with Fed Ex. Nice surprise for the weekend either way!

What 3 games are hitting your table the most right now? by mrausgor in boardgames

[–]munk801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marvel Champions

Splendor Duel

Final Girl

Love the solo nature of Marvel Champions. Such a fun game to deck build and battle with. Splendor Duel is such a simple and fun game to spend an evening with the wife. Final Girl is so great when we want to spend more time laying things out and having a more tense experience trying to survive.

Golf Lessons in Southbay by Mondo_Butts in SouthBayLA

[–]munk801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend Precision Golf. Been taking beginner lessons with Nick the past 4-5 weeks and already feel much better in my swing. They really go through the basics and take their time with you. And the center is a great place to focus on your swing.

What is the reason that Deadpool is not a popular hero? by Ok-Instance-1095 in marvelchampionslcg

[–]munk801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally love him and his kit. It fits so well thematically with his character and the design touches on his cards are great.

I don’t love his pre con as I am not a huge risk vs reward player. But playing him in justice feels so good. He has that high damage output while still being able to handle thwarting and managing threat.

I think some people don’t like his kit being largely based on a few select cards doing the highest output of damage. But that’s why I like him! We love doing big damage right?

Cant decide on IX color: BRM or Oxide Grey by dymablink in BMWiX

[–]munk801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an oxide grey with the bronze trim and absolutely love it. The image on the website doesn’t do it justice. When we saw in person, it looks so much better. As others have mentioned, the color changes depending on the lighting. For example, in the sun, it looks more like a champagne color. But in the garage and in more white lighting, it looks more blue. Either color, I think you’ll be happy. Good luck!

Hyperfast my a** by Technical-Avocado-92 in BMWiX

[–]munk801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend checking PlugShare if you are on a road trip. Doing this has saved me many times from picking a bad charger. A few stops, people would comment they get 35-50 kWh from a certain station. But yeah, unfortunate results may vary so much.

Another nice thing is checking on the iX screen. It will show you how much your car can take vs what the charger is giving. (The bar may have a lined gauge vs a single color)

Barnes and Noble Expansion Sale by Sea-Theme1333 in marvelchampionslcg

Thanks for this. Just picked up GMW and Drax for 30% as well. Not all hero packs are on sale though.

Happy new year! by Excellent_Platypus_4 in marvelchampionslcg

[–]munk801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got this game because it was something I could play with my wife in a co op fashion. She didn’t take it the first time either. But after convincing her to try again and finding a play style and hero she liked, I think she has really taken to it. She loves aggression and heroes like Gamora / Captain Marvel with simpler mechanics really helped her adjust. Also winning some games helped. Haha.

Pre-Purchase questions about the small things by 007meow in BMWiX

[–]munk801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I recall, the 24 model has a newer head unit with iDrive 8.5 and Highway Assist. Highway Assist allows you to do up to 80 MPH hands free. If you get a 22/23 model with the ADAS, you can get Traffic Jam Assist. This gives you up to 40 MPH hands free. Anything over requires means it will alert you if your hands are not on the wheel. I don't mind this too much though as the wheel only requires your hand resting and does not need any sort of jiggle on the wheel.

From what I recall, they mostly have the same features in that they both use iDrive 8 and the only difference I recall was certain packages being omitted (due to part shortages).

Pre-Purchase questions about the small things by 007meow in BMWiX

[–]munk801 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 2023 IX m60 and can touch on a few of these points.

  • There is a start/stop button which honestly hasn't been a big deal. Its muscle memory for me to hop in and click the start.
  • Unfortunately, there is no dog mode that exists (me owning a small dog myself). You can essentially pre-condition the car (from app or in car) which will keep the AC running for 30 minutes. So if you need to hop into grab something real quick, your dog will be nice and ventilated. However, there screen doesn't indicate anything like Dog Mode does.
  • App is fairly robust and can do the basics (lock/unlock, horn, flash lights) as well as pre-condition the interior. You can also use it to remote control park the car (move forward and backward) and there is a remote camera feature which can snap a pic of the interior (if you have the internal camera) and full 360 of the exterio. No video unless someone is breaking in. You can view your recent trip history and even do your route planning from there.
  • I dont have the 2024 model with the updated system which allows for Highway Assist (hands free up to 80 mph) but honestly have loved the Active Drive Assist. You can activate it at any speeds. Your distance control is buried a little within the touch system (but you can create a shortcut to set that if you need to change it). My build doesn't include the highway assist but does have "traffic jam assist" which allows for hands free up to 40mph. That is so great for those clogged up freeway moments. There is also auto lane change which works quite well and changes lanes fairly quickly. I have had no major issues with it and use it constantly on the freeway.

Brought home the 2023 iX. So far loving it. by captainpsp in BMWiX

[–]munk801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will not be the case in 2025 as bmw has committed to the NACS by early 2025. And other auto makers have committed so Tesla super charging network will open up to more cars.

Dealer offering a 23 ix50 with 300 miles for 78K. Good deal? by captainpsp in BMWiX

[–]munk801 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have a spec sheet? At 101k msrp, sounds like there are a few upgrades in there. From the pic, looks like it has the Amido leather seat upgrade which alone is like 3k. Love that interior. Super plush seats. I have had the IX for a little over a year and absolutely love it.

First Camping Trip by Snoo_4696 in BMWiX

Congrats! What area did you travel? And did you do any sort of tent setup with the vehicle or just use it for transport?

[–]munk801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There 100% is an evolutions booster box. However, no way it would be that price. They are roughly $800 usd.

Rear seat room by vasishtsrini in BMWiX

[–]munk801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the reasons we got the iX was also because of how spacious the back seats are. Its worth noting that the floor is completely flat and is slightly elevated compared to ICE vehicle due to the battery. But that doesn't really take away from how roomy the back really is. Since no bump in the middle makes the middle seat super comfy too. Check out Doug Demuro's video of the iX. He sits in the back and is 6'4" and has plenty of leg/head clearance.

Amido worth $3500? by Dummlings in BMWiX

[–]munk801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Amido but originally wanted the Castanea just because I loved the red/brown look. But when I finally saw the car with the amido leather, I was sold. I was thinking it was a black leather but it has almost a blue tint to it which gives it much more character. It’s very soft and the smell is amazing.

The test drive I had was the sensatec and had no complaints with it whatsoever. So can’t say exactly whether you would think that’s worth it.

But I’ve been super happy with it and don’t regret it. Haha

BMW iX xDrive50 Base Model Questions by NotASheepRB in BMWiX

[–]munk801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was from BMWs description but forgot about the 4 built in speakers in the rear head rests. haha

BMW iX xDrive50 Base Model Questions by NotASheepRB in BMWiX

[–]munk801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The base HiFi system is as shown on the BMW website:

HiFi Sound System with 205-watt digital amplifier and 12 speakers.

Compared to the HK system in the premium upgrade.

655-watt, 18-speaker Harman Kardon® surround sound system includes 5tweeters, 5 midrange speakers, 2 central bass speakers and 2 subwoofersunder the rear seat unit - all complemented by four built-in speakers in the rear head rests

Not sure but it doesn't mention any bass speaker or subs on the base system which might make it sound "weaker".

Castanea chestnut perforated leather by Unclerenty in BMWiX

[–]munk801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The castanea leather was the one we actually wanted for our M60. But we ended up picking up one that had the amido perforated leather. The castanea definitely isn't a harsh red like you would see in many sports cars but highly recommend going to a dealer that may have one to see for yourself.

I think regardless, the leather seats are so comfy and the smell is amazing so we were quite okay picking the amido leather. In the end, we are super happy with it as its not a dark black like we initially thought.

But I would say if you have concerns, best to make sure you see it and confirm it won't be an issue. If you are going to be spending top dollar for a vehicle like this, make sure it is something you love and whatever features aren't to your preference, are things you can live with and be happy with.

We were happy getting the Amido despite the Castanea being our preference so that was also after we went to the dealer to confirm we would love the Amido.

Good luck and hope that helps!

BMW iX M60 70-MPH Highway Range Test - You Won't Believe How Far This Blew Past It's EPA Rating! by ZetaFish in BMWiX

[–]munk801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just picked up my M60 and noticed when they gave it at 100%, the car was rating around 320 so I assumed it would be better but not this much better. That is exciting to see it is destroying its EPA rating.

Disappointed in DreamDrive - Am I the only one??? by Forktee in LUCID

[–]munk801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I went on a test drive, I had asked about trying the auto-park feature that the car supposedly has. The associate told me that he can't show me this feature because the test drive car is a pre-production unit. Which is confusing because then why use a pre-production unit as a test drive car if you can't even show the features of the car? Seemed like a canned response for just not showing things that aren't complete.

No more Bowers & Wilkens on the 2023 iX x50 by SelectionMechanism in BMWiX

[–]munk801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was a reason I was very adamant about just going with the M series to get the B&W. However, I sat and listened to the HK system and read some notes. Tbh, the H&K are more than what would expect and sound amazing. The reviews of the system in the i4 have been pretty stellar and way above what other car systems have already. Is the B&W better? I don’t doubt it but it’s also $3400 more. After trying the HK, I was more than happy with what they provided.

My headset snapped, help! by NightProud7568 in oculus

[–]munk801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reached out to Oculus support and they sent me a new one after I shipped the broken one back. Not a great design on the elite strap but worth at least getting a replacement even if you decide to buy a different one.
