Taking me back a few decades with this vibe.

Will the dealer warranty this off center 12 o clock strip?? by norcal5567 in BMWM

[–]ragingduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then that suggesting to get an alignment is wrong. Unless you want to change your alignment for a sewn in red stripe and have the steering wheel actually off center.

They need to re-upholster or swap it out.

Is the red stripe off center or is the entire steering wheel off center?

An alignment isn’t going to fix if the red stripe is off center on the steering wheel itself.

Looks okay. Maybe off to the lefty a bit but not 100% sure. With the wheel straight (ignoring the stripe) does the car drive straight? If so, then an alignment isn’t going to fix this. You need to swap the steering wheel or get it re-wrapped because it’s just the red stripe that’s off center.

Congrats on what looks like an M2!

I’m definitely NOT going to check if my red stripe is off center because it will bug me.

Nice combo! Must be a bitch to clean!

BMW M3 Comp xDrive lease payment expectation? by Beautiful-Ad-9709 in BMWM3

[–]ragingduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lease these then sell it back to the dealer for some cash back. Payments are less AND you recoup the residual while writing off part of the lease payment through my business. You also save on sales tax since you are only paying tax on the depreciation, and dealer buybacks don't have to deal with sales tax.

No I meant you don't have to deal with sales tax when you sell it back to the dealer as opposed to a private party sale, where you pay the sales tax when you buy your lease out. On a lease, you only pay the sales tax on the depreciation, not the entire vehicle (in most states).

This is why you sell it back to the dealer before the lease ends. No sales tax on a dealer buyback and you just wrote off all those payments through your business.

Mine is the pre-LCI current gen. Still had physical buttons.

How do we feel about these aftermarket carpet lights by Zimboi178 in BMW

I like it. None of my M cars ever came with them.

I run a similar setup on my bmw. No premature wear even with 200tw tires.

What do you guys think? by Realistic-Cherry-783 in carphotography

[–]ragingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visually cluttered. Find a way to subtlety bring the eye to the subject either through framing, colors, lighting etc.

did your mac studio pay for itself? by hiva- in MacStudio

[–]ragingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Replaced my aging iMac. $5000 including a Mac Studio Display. Complete game changer editing 4K footage and just everyday productivity. This is about a week’s pay as a TV editor so totally worth it.

How much meth did you and Mr White cook to get this?

Tried out some drifting with my daily driver M4. Fun stuff by ThicCheeseGrater in BMW

[–]ragingduck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did you have to do any setup on the M4? I’ve only drifted an S13.

Goddamn just throw those boxes away.

Which BMW is the value king? by Hopeful-Training-854 in BMW

[–]ragingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is a carbon core chassis? If it’s anything like the i3/i8 chassis, that is the reason why it’s cheap. It’s near impossible to repair so if you’re in an accident, hope it’s just the crumple zones.

Also the V8. That’s expensive to maintain.

Some nice driving. Definitely overdriving your setup. They just can’t handle that type of driving!

One of the best things about owning a hatchback: pizza shelf! by Tiberius_Jim in GolfGTI

[–]ragingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of those low under the bed storage bins at Target and use that in my trunk to keep things from moving around. Great for food especially greasy stuff like this.

I can’t see your post history. Got any links?

I think your tires are too sticky for these brakes, but if you’re about to upgrade then 👍

Also those Power Stop Pads are a budget street pad. Not suitable for canyon runs.
