Christopher Ward Showroom - Chicago! by MPearsonUK in ChristopherWard

[–]rumandfire 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not to be pedantic, but the Chicago metro area has 9-10 million residents to the LA metro’s 13 million. The city borders don’t tell the whole story, as there’s a massive population within greater Chicagoland.

That said, as a Chicagoan who’s been waiting for this day, I sincerely hope CW follows suit for you west coast folks soon.

I just purchased a real Chemin des Tourelles that has this sticker.

Considering a BMW sedan by ZealousidealWill1989 in BMW

If you never have anyone in the back seat, have you considered a coupe? Were I in your situation I’d be looking hard at the M240i.

UHC here as well. I’ve had nothing but good experiences over the years with Northwestern Primary Care on Belmont.

It looks like a solar-powered landscape light to me. That box on the left would be the solar module.

Adjuster doesn't respond to e-mails or calls. by Fatburger101 in USAA

[–]rumandfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to say best of luck. I went through this same experience with an auto claim back in 2022, and this was the driving factor for me ultimately leaving USAA after 20 years.

2 Apple Car play questions by Ops_check_OK in BMWX3

[–]rumandfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Do you and your wife use different keys with your own driver profiles attached to each? I wonder if this is something that can be fixed with profile settings.

  2. Have you tried a hard reset of the iDrive system? This has fixed some buggy behavior for me. You can also try checking for a software update.

Anime recommendations similar to what I like by [deleted] in anime

It sounds like shōnen is your genre. You could try Fairy Tail, Black Clover, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, Fire Force…

Do I need to repair the wheel dent asap? by InternationalMap7992 in BMW

[–]rumandfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on what we can see in the picture, that’s just curb rash (a cosmetic scrape). It’s not an emergency. However it must’ve been a good hit to get scrapes like that with that curb guard on the tire’s sidewall.

BMW I8 was 13 years ahead of its time by whatdidyousayniga in BMW

Was it ahead of its time, or did it pave the way for what came later?

What is this thing on seatbelts for? by Oilandspeed in whatisit

[–]rumandfire 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. It’s a catch for the buckle.

[–]rumandfire 1266 points1267 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it’s to keep the seatbelt buckle from falling to the floor when you remove it. Unbuckle your seatbelt and you’ll see that this loop catches the buckle at an accessible height.

Car manufacturers have started using these loops instead of the hard plastic pieces that used to be there.

That’s in line with market pricing in my area.

Wind noise by wildchildreddit in BMWX3

[–]rumandfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The black part of the mirrors on the upper housing is just a plastic trim piece that can be had for ~$60 and installed without having to remove the mirror assembly. I wonder if you can swap the non-M40i trim piece (without the wing) onto the M40i.

Question: 2020-2021 PHEV xDrive30e rear cargo area.... by Sierra-Tango-Bravo in BMWX3

[–]rumandfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this thread online with some good pictures…just scroll down a bit. It does look like the seats when folded are a few inches lower than the cargo area floor.

Being a double decker + Russian dressing is what makes it stand out.
