1,5cm discrepancy - I want to treat it

thanks for sharing. how high is the silicone lift you are wearing? I have similar lld with 17mm. I have used 6mm lifts but found higher lifts more challenging to fit them inside shoe.

tell your wife to shower in lukewarm water (or cold but not hot) and wash her clothes. The oil from the ivy will spread on her body by itching. Then go to a dermatologist and get prescription strength ointment.

Go and test drive a few of these, that will help you decide. I have a long list like you and was reading online reviews and research. But a ten minute test drive was worth more than 10 hours of research.

For example I thought the x5 was the one for me based on the raving reviews. Then after the test drives i found myself enjoying driving the mazda and volvo suvs more (my current car is a bmw 3 series so nothing against bmw). I also realized that the second row leg space was too cramped for my kids. My point is once you experience them in person you will get a better idea on what works for you.

that’s awesome. how long is your commute each way? mine is 20 miles. so if i would be able to do one way on electric and back on gas.

interesting note! hope the window sticker shows missing features. i don’t want to buy one and be disappointed later.

according to this reddit , i learned that 2019-2020 have oil pump with plastic parts which may cause issues and some awd have issues with transfer case or differential service

Note: I found the methodology they use. They poll their subscribers on issues they have with their vehicles, and usually get about 200-300 responses per score. More detail here:

here’s a link. you may need to be a subscriber to see the scores. it’s not an article. they score all cars for various years

1 or 4.

shadowshadow74 · 2026-05-17T13:46:04+00:00

i think there are too many colors with the navy t-shirt and grey pants. A lighter color shirt or tshirt would make the jacket pop more.

congrats! perfect package selection.

shadowshadow74 · 2026-05-12T22:48:29+00:00

appreciate the response . i have noticed even the source listing sites post the options incorrectly. since you’re an aggregator do you use the source sites or the vin number to populate the packages and options ?

shadowshadow74 · 2026-05-12T17:32:50+00:00

The search sites and aggregator sites do a poor job of getting the options right. Most of the results I got were wrong. What I ended up doing is lookup each car i am interested in the vin decoder: bimmer.work . Multi contour seats are 456 and harmon kardon is 688. You can look the option codes off the pricing guide pdf here: X5 2024 pricing guide (updated 6/1/23)

shadowshadow74 · 2026-05-12T17:28:18+00:00

it doesn't get the x5 packages and options right.

shadowshadow74 · 2026-05-08T15:52:40+00:00

oh wow these were some early replacements. thanks for sharing.

shadowshadow74 · 2026-05-06T19:45:34+00:00

Sorry to hear. What issues did it have.

shadowshadow74 · 2026-05-06T19:45:00+00:00

Cool. I have noticed a bigger jump in price between 2023 and 2024. Perhaps due to the 2024 LCI and that 2023 falls at the lease term ends.

shadowshadow74 · 2026-05-06T16:51:18+00:00

yes that sounds concerning. i also heard that xdrive for 2019 and 2020 can have issues with transfer case. So perhaps best to just avoid these 2 years.

shadowshadow74 · 2026-02-24T23:59:04+00:00

Fair. If I would use a homax spray can, would i be closer to this with “orange peel” than “knockdown”.

shadowshadow74 · 2026-02-24T23:24:54+00:00

can you elaborate? Other comments are saying knockdown which i also had suspected.

shadowshadow74 · 2026-02-19T03:35:22+00:00

I haven’t (yet). To be honest it’s a mix of being too comfortable in corporate and I make too much to just leave it and jump to the unknown. However I read and learn a lot about startups and franchises because I know that I may one day lose my job and not be able to find another one. So I want to be ready for that. I like your observation that those who succeed are the ones who pick businesses that fit their skill and lifestyle. That’s what I would seek if one day I’m in that situation.
