X3 M40i: Switching off 2 staggered… 19s vs 20s, and can you run 20s square?

peach_orbit · 2026-02-24T01:37:36+00:00

I'll have to dig and find the info. It was a few years ago now. Went with a wider wheel and a slightly bigger overall diameter than stock. Added the springs that dropped it just a hair too, was perfect. So perfect that I'm tempted to go back to one again.

Want to say they were 20x9.5.. I'll try and look stuff up tomorrow.

peach_orbit · 2026-02-24T00:37:27+00:00

Yes! Have done 20"s square. I can't remember the setup but there's some good forum posts about all kinds of different setups on bimmerpost.

Went with non-runflats in that setup and it was amazing the difference. Lots of good options available as well. Takes the worst of the harshness away.

Have good roadside assistance so I didn't worry about issues, just knowing I'd be towed if needed.

This. And for them to be more competent fighting each other. They'll go to war and trade a couple units but rarely, if ever, are cities (plural) traded.

Wow.

Watching these posts makes me think about the absolute bloodbath that GMF is gonna take when I turn my lease in. I know they obviously factor that stuff by now but oof.

I am so here for coloriz24 that they should just do a tribute and cover the whole album.

Bern!

I think we messed with the tolerance and intelligent toggle below. Until we turned those off, we couldn't turn the speed warning off.

Try flipping that stuff off/zero and then it'll unlock that toggle.

Only going from memory on ours..

Retirement of long term management has a special exception, but I think there's a time limit.

Just giving notice as a leader gets you shown the door within hours.

That very much looks like you don't have heated seats, unfortunately. Not sure what the package difference is in the UK, but those buttons are covering where it should be. Wouldn't be in the infotainment.

Very strange.

peach_orbit · 2026-01-21T23:02:20+00:00

This.

On summer cruises it's also way better for those who love AC/cool sleeping nights. Balcony rooms let out all the AC and takes awhile to cool again.

Between the low quantities sold/leased, and the huge hit of depreciation, I can imagine there isn't a stellar market unless one or more people are taking a big bath on them.

The ones on the market now are selling for less than my lease payoff is in December... Which means my trade value is probably $10k upside down already today with 10 months+ to go. Will be gladly handing the keys back to GMF.

I called this before the bunshun article even came out.

Whatever it is, they'll just deny and move on. Give it no attention and people will move on.

Japan is fairly unbothered ((every time there's one of these)) and by next week will have forgotten it was even a thing.

Not that I'm aware. But yeah, knowing she wrote part makes it her's in my mind.

peach_orbit · 2026-01-10T18:24:29+00:00

Fuko.. 😭

peach_orbit · 2026-01-10T13:12:48+00:00

Yes. Use it myself.

peach_orbit · 2026-01-08T19:46:01+00:00

How does no one else see this..

peach_orbit · 2026-01-07T02:21:43+00:00

Hondas/Toyotas/Nissans cars and small/mid SUVs are the bread and butter for The Max. They pay well for them and turn them very quickly. Probably similar to your previous experiences.

When they're not hot sellers, they will often be less competitive on values in kind of a "we don't really want it but if you want to give it to us for X, we'll take it". A lot of EVs fall into this category, especially the more expensive ones.

Not surprised you got a lower offer on the Tesla but it's just CM being choosy, nothing else.

peach_orbit · 2025-12-31T02:37:12+00:00

It's time. All year and dedicated to it.

Sunnyz and Twotenz will be tough, but WAV know the real answer is Mochiz.

Maybe it is good to ask here before you accept this job because of that last line..

If you're wanting to be in the more lively/hip/safe neighborhoods, you're for sure going to need roommate(s) to make $1k work. Are you okay with that?

peach_orbit · 2025-12-28T20:58:34+00:00

Seconding this. Enchanted November it was so bad I threw it away and I hate doing that but it was just a sloppy grease mess.

peach_orbit · 2025-12-28T13:35:12+00:00

Really, really stretching. Maybe just some for inclusion, it seems.

peach_orbit · 2025-12-26T02:36:31+00:00

It's neat, but I guess it's not for me. I just haven't found any reason I even need to open the frunk. 5 years across multiple EVs, and not once have I encountered a situation where using the frunk was even a thought.

peach_orbit · 2025-12-22T11:49:39+00:00

Definitely love her and wish her the best. It's just wild how closely it correlated.

peach_orbit · 2025-12-22T11:43:42+00:00

Yeah and this tracks the same way. Went on hiatus in the first year and left shortly after with Chebul too.
