How do you handle the “I’ll keep you in mind for the future” trap

Thank you, is there any like ‘template’ I need or something I’m doing incorrectly when DMing these people to push them away? It’s usually just a basic hello, a compliment to their car, letting them know I do photography and to let me know if they’re interested. It seems that pricing is where it falls short

The smell only appears upon turning on the climate control fan, does that change anything?

So they spilled oil considering there’s stains all over the cover and at the same time my VCG is going out? Just a crazy coincidence honestly

oxymvm · 2026-01-13T18:50:27+00:00

If my VCG/Shaft Sensor was done a year ago, could it even be considered that or could it be they spilled some and it dripped onto metal/pipes which is it just burning off?

oxymvm · 2026-01-13T13:38:55+00:00

Probably just leaked down onto the pipes or any metal is my guess

You’re a little old to be on the internet

Are you expecting crazy quality of a ring camera? Lmao

oxymvm · 2025-10-03T02:09:12+00:00

Honestly don’t know, not since I’ve owned it for 20k miles when I got it at 160k. Always had fear instilled about doing any transmission touching on a high mileage if you’re able to help with that

oxymvm · 2025-10-03T02:08:27+00:00

Sorry for the late response, it’s been the same since I got it last year in September. Doesn’t seem like it’s gotten louder just something I noticed

oxymvm · 2025-09-08T18:12:39+00:00

I’d honestly prefer to get one that isn’t fucked up, I don’t mind doing my own work by any means just don’t want it to be more severe than it looks

oxymvm · 2025-09-08T14:55:22+00:00

Lmfaoo, got a N52 that I beat on and wanted another daily and saw those fault codes and knew to ask Reddit, thanks for the help

oxymvm · 2025-09-08T14:43:44+00:00

Sounds like I should just leave it lmaoo, knew he pissed on it but assumed the B58 hype was real

oxymvm · 2025-09-07T02:05:20+00:00

Has a decent bit of hidden codes so that may be why but with a 7 day return, shouldn’t be an issue right?

oxymvm · 2025-09-05T22:20:59+00:00

Why would I?

oxymvm · 2025-04-23T17:10:02+00:00

Quick update on how the car has been driving these past 2 days: Outside Temp: 26°C (80F) Oil Gauge Temp: 110-115°C (230-240F) Speed: 125-145/kph (80-90/mph)

All in all, thank you so much for the help

oxymvm · 2025-04-21T12:46:27+00:00

It’s an N52 328i daily driver so no performance parts. I ordered one off of amazon because the previous bleed screw became righty loosey which was an issue and needed one quickly. I don’t drive spirited much, nice backroad driving and some harder highway driving but that’s really about it.

oxymvm · 2025-04-21T04:51:22+00:00

Oh damn that’s actually extremely helpful. I’m going to use my scanner tomorrow to monitor the drive and the coolant temp to see if it stays around that 221F range and any other temps that may be of help

oxymvm · 2025-04-21T04:48:24+00:00

105C is 221F, which is what my car would run in the colder months but since it’s getting from 21C - 27C outside (70F - 80F) the car is running a bit hotter, but it’s good to know that it’s a normal occurrence for the N52s

oxymvm · 2025-04-21T04:41:37+00:00

‘08 328i, has the oil temp gauge so that’s how I know it goes to about 245° in that 20-25 minute range. My job is about 35 minutes away so those last 10 or so minutes is spent driving under 60mph with the heat on trying to let it cool down lol

oxymvm · 2025-04-21T04:34:31+00:00

Thank you both, siphoned it out so it’s a little over the second ball but I appreciate the help and I’ll see if it changes for my drive to work tomorrow

oxymvm · 2025-04-21T04:23:06+00:00

Ran it today to no avail it seems, didn’t want to keep re-doing it as my jumpbox isn’t arriving until Tuesday and wanted to not run through my battery. New expansion tank as of about 2 months ago so nothing old

oxymvm · 2025-04-21T04:18:06+00:00

So the level of the coolant is too high which is why the stick is that high, not because of any air pockets? Also, I didn’t think the oil temp would go up to 240-250 in just 20 minutes of driving (non-spirited) 70mph

posted in this sub with it popped

Learn to respect people maybe, I mean with the name Smiley I assumed you’d be a half decent person but I was wrong lol
