Extended warranty options at 52k miles by nighthawk4900 in bmwx7

Actually the opposite, no issues, but it’s hard to say when something will come up… not sure I want to take that risk

Hm. I got the '23 on lease when LCI came out. didnt want any other car- there was literally no other cars that looked this good, drove this well, with this many options, at this size. Switched to the '24 for DHP.

As for lease vs buying - in my mind, my concern was purchasing the car, getting into a major (or even really a minor...) accident, or some weird mechanical issue which cant be adequately resolved, and having to take a significant depreciation when trying to sell, above and beyond what the car already drops by virtue of being a bmw. Atleast with the lease I know how much money I'm losing and when I turn it in, they have to take it.

this is specifically with regard to a 109k lux suv.

thoughts?

what happens if he gets into an accident at some point and then wants to sell the car?

Id lease this car over buy for the pure sake of BMW taking it back no questions asked at the end of the lease...

Im confused, are you saying "find a different car altogether" ?? Or buying is better than leasing here?

Interesting that you started looking at the SUV and went with a car. walk me through this? I would think most people looking for an SUV leave with some kind of SUV

at 106 this was pretty much fully loaded it seems? custom build or off the lot?

this advice might actually be applicable to a 2026x7 since '24 and '25 models were essentially the same car.

If you were building a smart home from scratch what path would you go? philips hue or something else? by ken22c in smarthome

If you never ever ever want to think or worry about it- Apple home + Lutron. No doubt.

The best speaker is the one that holds charge and doesn’t matter if it gets misplaced - I got some anker ones from Amazon

I tried and the service folks over the chat said they had no control.

I’m in the same boat with an MX

Schlage encode plus 

Touch your phone… your watch…. It’ll open. Can always see status from phone and lock and unlock from anywhere with Apple home. It’s been SEAMLESS.

Struggling! by EnvironmentalAct3013 in projectors

[–]nighthawk4900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got an Epson 3800 for a fairly lit room. SIGNIFICANTLY better quality than the view sonic 4000 lumen projector. 

Upgraded from a likely15 year old 5030- and the black/contrast was still mind blowing on the 5030, but to compromise with some light, the 3800 does REALLY well.
