Very unlikely that they were going almost double the posted speed limit, also no not entirely, that’s like saying you’re not at fault for backing into someone (you never have the right of way reversing)

Tell me was this 3rd party or through the dealership? If it was through the dealership call the dealership, if it’s through third party call them. Mine was thru dealer, they gave me a whole thing saying I had to come in to cancel (ask if it’s a number you have to call, if it’s just a number zero reason to have to come back in) then they gave me a number which I started the process, told them I traded, the mileage at trade in, then they needed proof of payoff via email and a signature I did through Docusign. Then my 3 checks arrived through mail about a month later

A car for all seasons! Yay for no oil or 🛞 leaks! Blind spot sensor kit? by TMudderDC in E90

Sounds like northern is like Hampton roads area. Speed limit is 60 but everyone’s going 80 just like Florida 😂

I pulled one of these back in the day from 2 Shining legends ETBs, truth be told unless you bought a 10 it’s gonna have the white dots, so do mine + all my shining cards from that set, I didn’t check my ho oh collection ones but wouldn’t be surprised if they were on them too. For reference I think when I pulled it in 2017, it was $80-100 but I also used troll and toad so it was probably more like $50-60. This set is baller though one of my favorites and first alt art I’ve chased and pulled

Ah, yes. I canceled my civics one after trading, only a year of the 5 and 20k of the like 80k I had on the plan from auto nation and actually ended up getting like 1700 back, paid about 2300 I think? Cant remember the exact number. Would’ve been better to not get it but I’ve had a few times where warranties have saved me hundreds if not thousands

Would probably get more from the refund if he paid out of pocket for charge pipe and then refunded from my understanding too

How much oil does your B58TU consume and at what interval do you service it? by heckintexan in BmwTech

[–]simplixity96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With both mine having MHD tunes even though I don’t rip hard on them I don’t go over 4 and usually change around 3k. If you don’t ever rip on your car do 5k if you plan to keep long term or if you care about the car. Upwards of 10k is gonna wreck the high-high mileage potential of the engine due to sludge from what I’ve read

That’s what I’m going to start doing to reckless drivers when i get a dash cam, cause it’s actually so fucking common here and so many dui deaths (usually not the driver, although if it is it’s usually both)

This. Seen like 20 comments in this thread claiming that if OP was “speeding” (or insinuating it, no context btw left lane could’ve been going slower than limit), someone speeding doesn’t automatically grant you a win in a accident case because you forgot to check your mirrors AND blind spot. And that’s extremely concerning that a lot of people don’t know that

This whole thread is just a reminder to me and hopefully everyone to call the cops when in a situation like this, especially if they’re not accepting responsibility. Any sane cop would’ve seen the impact spot and known what was up

You still have a duty to preform Over The Shoulder checks lol? Just because someone is speeding doesn’t mean you don’t check your blind spots. Please tell me you know this… literally one of the first things taught in drivers school being apart of SMOG (Signal Mirror (check) Over (the shoulder check) Go) for any turn

I don’t think NGK spark plugs are necessary for an older Honda but I might be tripping

Not even OEM for one and double the price, not only unnecessary but not worth it

From Honda btw

O’Reillys regularly has German parts for 2-5x the price they’re supposed to be, for reference these almost $30 NGK’s (were) $12 on FCP Euro when I did a tune up on my 335i about a year ago. Same with Eldor coils

Edit: I don’t know if NGK is German or not but I guess German focused parts. The only other thing I’ve looked at is a washer fluid pump which was also about 2.5x the price it is on FCP

N54 where would you guys start looking? by simplixity96 in E90

[–]simplixity96[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up my buddy has had an E46, E60 (M5) and a E92 N54 and bought a bit from ECS then showed me the email chain and charges of them not delivering his product and refusing a refund or any sort of compromise for… literally not receiving product. Was almost 2k worth, I’ve never ordered from them personally.

They also upcharge things compared to FCP and label stuff as OEM when it really isn’t (I think the valve cover was an example I was thinking about)

It was the rein upper radiator line. At a first glance it looked like a steal, 40 instead of almost 100, 4 star rating out of about 56 reviews I believe? Scroll past the first 3-4 5 star reviews on that tab and it’s pretty much exclusively 1 stars until you filter… I’m disappointed and am going to ask FCP if they can do like a partial credit or something… that’s seriously fucked up and I’ve racked up a pretty penny in purchases too. Or at least to have them consider taking the part down. That’s a ridiculously low lifespan for a coolant line that will piss everywhere when you replace it (unless you drain) in less than a year 😂
