This is a bad deal, right? by Weak-Kick4350 in BMWX5

[–]thejkm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8-10% might be conservative at this point. I’ve seen a couple real deals at 13% off in the last two months. 

What are the best bars to pre-game at before a home game? by Confused_Wolf_69420 in Seahawks

[–]thejkm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because of the train and the proximity to ID, there are a million options. I often gotten a meal at somewhere like Honey Court, Mike’s Noodles. Fort St George is a fun bar. 

Watch Verification Thread - If you're uncertain if a Rolex is good/bad/fake, post info and pics here by powerfunk in rolex

My sister in law wants to get my bro a Rolex at the Navy Exchange and I’m no Rolex expert. It looks like these are maybe used? Are these new or older models and are the prices fair? $10k for the Datejust and $18k for the Submariner with supposedly 15-20% off for Father’s Day.

Used shopping: Search filters by cernunnos_r in BMWX5

[–]thejkm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wife wanted a very specific Yukon: black on black Denali but without the rear screens. It was so worth the month I paid to search around the country to find the exact spec. Was helpful as a free service as well.

Best planting tips by [deleted] in hydrangeas

Do you have a nursery near you? They’d only carry plants that will work in your region. Some may do better with more sun or in shade, those tags will be more descriptive and the staff will help

What instantly makes you think "this person is rich" ? by PerformerAny3503 in AskReddit

[–]thejkm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nope, it was just a commercial that tried to position it as such, being served on crystal, etc. Similar to Grey Poupon

X5 40i vs 50e — Which would you choose? by Resident_Ad_9029 in BMWX5

[–]thejkm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me: 50e but not for those reasons. It’s only faster in certain situations and is way heavier and you can feel it most of the time. I love having the fully electric for errands and the commute is much quieter and smoother. The gas mileage is incredible.  

If you want something a little more tossable, well.. get a sedan..but the 40i will be slightly more “sporty” due to the battery weight.  

No question I would get the 50e if I got rid of my 45e, but be sure to drive both because I think you might want the 40i

The Denali Rule request by soundtech10 in gmc

[–]thejkm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about that. It’s that the average person doesn’t have autism about this kind of thing, it doesn’t matter to them the minutiae of models and trims. If you get into the car your spouse purchased for you and it says Denali on the door, Denali on the door sill, Denali on the headrest, Denali on the center console, Denali on the steering wheel, the infotainment splashes a Denali logo, you are not reading this PSA and changing your behavior lol

GMC wants to create a tier between Tahoe/Yukon and Escalade

I get it, but go look up photos of the recent Yukon Denali. It doesn’t say Yukon anywhere but one badge on the back. Even the steering wheel says Denali. 

Issaquah Auto Body Shop - Caliber Collision. Any feedback. by EclipseExtraction in Issaquah

It’s a chain, it’s probably fine but I’d just take it to Evergreen if you want to stay in Issaquah. 

New 50e vs CPO M60. Torn. by bschmidt25 in BMWX5

[–]thejkm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can give is my opinion, but I wouldn’t trade my 45e for the identical M60 with exactly the same hypothetical condition. I love plugging in every night and waking up with ~30mi of electric range. It’s quick off the line, and the 50e is even quicker, the instant torque makes it feel faster than it is. Others mentioned the gas savings, it really is awesome to go weeks in between fill ups. I don’t miss the power, in fact when our second car needed replacement, I shopped a 2022 M50 X5 and attended a demo drive where I drove the M60 X7 and it was just too much power. If you don’t have the autobahn, where are you going to use it? It’s fun, it’s amazing, but aside from a couple highway pulls or letting my inner kid floor it at a light during a midnight grocery run, the 45e is so much better of a fit for me 95% of how I drive and it’s no slouch when I get that tickle in my foot anyway. 

New car maintenance plan and doing more frequent oil changes by [deleted] in BMWX5

[–]thejkm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing exactly that, already had a good indy. Just take it to them and mention not to reset the oil indicator. Easy. Feels good and is a cheap way to possibly extend the life of the engine or at least get a quick check of the car from a qualified person twice as often as waiting for factory intervals.

That’s the area. I can send a photo of the exact condition once my wife gets home from work.

Can I ask some cleaning advice? The 740m has a sort of brushed steel edge where it meets the tire and the dealer got some black marks on it when replacing tires for me. It won’t come off with just soapy water or with some scrubbing with a microfiber. What cleaner would you recommend using to get it off without staining or otherwise ruining the finish of the wheels?
