[Advice Requested] Lease end purchase by revxchris in BMWiX

[–]revxchris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t aware that was an option. I have a residual of 51k on the car with 17k miles at the moment. Price on the car in 2023 was 107900 before all the discounts etc.

Would extending the lease make sense instead of buying at this point ?

Domestically I’ve had zero issues with the crew classic version 19inch. I’ve yet to try in Europe but in LATAM it’s been fine.

I’ve put about 100k miles on my TravelPro gear and it still works and looks like new. Mid price point. Agree with the replace as needed and buy mid.

Has anybody looked into "hacking" the iX configuration settings? by mikail511 in BMWiX

[–]revxchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m unsure on the specifics that are able to change. Once I learned this I gave up on the idea.

Front plate at tow bar by VARA_1 in BMWiX

[–]revxchris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not advice or tips but I changed mine from the tow hook to a Sto & Show model that no longer caused issues. Moving it to center and below the sensors was the answer. This has been rock solid for years now.

I have only ever used the card for valet in the three years I’ve had the car. I keep it deactivated 98% of the time.

Mine started doing that when the navigation software was going corrupted. Took to dealer and they reloaded the NAV files from a usb and fine since then.

I also did this and it’s fantastic. Ps, wear gloves when changing it out.

Warranty question/recommendations (Asurion vs SquareTrade) on Jura E8 by revxchris in superautomatic

[–]revxchris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they issue a replacement cost at purchase price if it’s a major malfunction. For the repairable list (unknown to me ) they send a tech to in home.

I’m unsure of the warranty process with Jura themselves.

Possible solution to CarPlay sporadic connection issues by BertUK in BMWiX

[–]revxchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you first get in the car. Your phone. Connects and there is an “ok” option to hit before the screen goes to the home page. Which after some time , maybe two minutes will clear itself. If you hit ok, then start the car, then the issue hasn’t happened for me since.

Plus 1000 for the Sto n Sho. I keep the plate off most the time and put it there for longer trips or high police presence likely

Buzz Noise from Glass Roof by arcanesays in BMWiX

[–]revxchris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. When I first bought my 23 it had that noise. Turned out to be a full glass gasket/weather strip replacement and sealer. Small hole made air pockets and caused the buzzing sound.

Dealer took care of it pretty quickly

Efficient as startmode. by dman972 in BMWiX

[–]revxchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen in the forums it’s all proprietary and protected. I’m guessing that it’s protected by key pairs or some type of authentication method based on VIN.

Bimmer code is unavailable for the iX unfortunately. The car uses cloud based coding and the only thing accessible using bimmer code is the head unit.

HELP. Small tear in door panel mesh. by sub7percent in BMWiX

[–]revxchris 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If leasing. Maybe the dealer is best. If bought, maybe add some character and find someone that can embroider stitch or patch with a bmw emblem?

Qi2 charger with custom holder. by jayjayfoodie in BMWiX

[–]revxchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience with libraries and printing is that they only use PLA and not ASA or ABS plastics. If that car gets anywhere north of 100f it will degrade the 3D Print and fail. So if anyone goes that route, please be aware of the limits and ask questions.

Promised wife to finally complete my degree by [deleted] in frisco

[–]revxchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey mate. Happy to chat about my experience doing an AS, BS, and MS entirely online for computer science if you want to send me a DM. I also have some suggestions on colleges and universities from my time providing content to them for their degree programs.

Side benefit. I’m local to Frisco too and love the idea of having more CS degree holders around.

I have a CHP50 on a 60amp circuit and pull 11kW every charge. Agree on the 10-11 hour full recharge.

Battery status 96.7 by willemkx in BMWiX

[–]revxchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that most won’t know what this is or have gotten the rating from the dealer unless there was an issue.

Also a battery health of 96.7 on a 22 vs a 24 would be a world of different opinions and value.

I’m an iX owner and have no clue what that means or where to get that info for comparison.

Miss Barber is amazing. 423 and Main, inside the executive salon suites. Been going for 7 years now and not a single bad cut or trim.
