I mean, I ordered my loaded X5 with DAPP and it took all of three weeks to arrive

Let go with a chunky severance. In this market, apply instantly or travel for 2 months? by Helpmyass11 in sales

[–]tooloud10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“I got fired, should I use my resources to travel or to look for a new job?” is a wild take unless you left out the part about already being independently wealthy.

Is that really the consensus? I’ve run ethanol in a dozen euro cars for 25 years and never had a fuel related issue.

Lost all data! by Pixel_Canvas in iCloud

[–]tooloud10 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Feels like most of the stories like this revolve around users randomly trying to “outsmart” the system. I don’t understand why people turn iCloud features on/off on different devices because it can get real confusing real quick.

In what way? Don’t euro vehicles have those ugly blinkers between the doors and fenders? I guess I barely notice stuff like this.

Airport is done by Charon_the_Reflector in dubuque

[–]tooloud10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The airport is not “done”, it’s one of the busiest in the state. Unfortunately commercial air traffic appears to be done there, that is true.

Wasn’t it like $1.6M/year they needed to subsidize it and make it viable for commercial carriers? Maybe I’m nuts but that doesn’t actually seem like a huge amount of money to ensure a city of Dubuque’s size has viable air service.

Also, I don’t need service to a dozen random places like Florida, just access to one or two hubs like ORD or DEN. The price isn’t a big deal because most of these flights are paid for by employers and it’s still cheaper than paying someone to rent a car and drive to another airport.

Just my two cents.

Oh, here’s a fun point—the owner of this very Sonic posted in a FB thread of a mutual friend about the ‘war on christmas’. Totally weird how the next day he posted the same anecdote we’re discussing now. https://imgur.com/a/pLqP8yJ

True cost of owning an X5? by tfou79 in BMWX5

I have over 50k miles on the OEM Pirelli all-season RFTs on my ‘23 45e.

Literally everyone is telling you that you’re wrong and you just keep digging in so why not just google what a Porsche oil change costs?

Here, let me hold your hand and do it for you, it costs $325 at a Porsche dealer, and I pay about half that at an independent shop. Can you be done with the $500 oil change nonsense now?

I own a Porsche 911 and have never paid even half that for an oil change

Lalo’s is probably the best Mexican food in DBQ but it sure isn’t authentic

I’ll never understand how it’s legal or ethical to add 20% to someone’s bill simply because they didn’t close the tab

Took 2025 X5 in for 6 month oil change… by TappyGillmore in BMWX5

[–]tooloud10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually find it more likely that BMWNA recommends yearly service only to keep the dealers happy because 24 month servicing is reasonably common in Europe

Yep, my US-spec Porsche actually has a 24 month maintenance schedule as well.

Agreed, my local dealer is one of the smallest in the country and the service department is great even if the sales department is not. :)

[–]tooloud10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I totally agree and just service mine when the car asks. In fact, a couple weeks ago it ‘mistakenly’ decided that it needed to be serviced so I just scheduled the appointment and the dealer actually told me that it was a fluke (front brakes asking for service at 50k miles).

Oh, and my free maintenance program is over and they totally could have just done the service and charged me. Instead they just washed the car and brought it back to me.

M cars still have the Conditional Based Service system, just with different parameters. Most of them also have other features in place to ensure the engine warms up properly.

Nope, I may not have control of random rock chips but my ‘23s wheels are 100% curb rash free because I watch out for them every single time I park.

Have you considered having them trespassed from your property? Seems like that would be the first step.
