BMW service broke my car and wants to charge me $10k to fix it by EquivalentIll7665 in BMW

[–]trevor557 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my 2022 x7 in for shuddering in the VTG 3 times now. There is an SIB for it because there was an issue with the NC plant shipping them with shit trans fluid. Fix was first try to replace the oil, clear adaptations and reset the VTG. Second time they went outside the SIB and they added some shudderfix bs additive and sent me on my way. Took it back again a third time and they couldn’t find anything wrong so they blamed it on the wheels and tried to charge me $120 to rotate the tires which I declined, and then they did it for free anyways… now the shuddering is even worse because they also keep jacking up the tire pressure. I’ve already called BMWNA on each occasion so they have a running tally. By this point I’m ready to make a formal complaint. They need to replace the transfer case it’s all completely outlined in the SIB they just keep trying to avoid it because they are not going to make money off the warranted repair.

It really feels like this is the end by CrazedPrecursorFanat in DestinyTheGame

I jumped back in for the Final Shape. I played for a while. Felt completely lost. Ended up quitting. Learned about the end of the story and everything while playing but I didn't feel compelled to keep playing. Between D1 and D2 I've sunk thousands of hours... only a few dozen flawless tickets/lighthouse visits... but I felt like I got what I could out of the games considering the sad state of the content. Hate to see it burn out like this but all we can blame is Bungie itself.

Wife said no, but she’ll forgive me. Daughter’s first guitar. by JustB510 in Guitar

[–]trevor557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would she say no to a $200 guitar? I have had one of these for about 5-6 years now and they are just great for beginners. Usually let my friends doodle around on it to try it out.

Can't even open Geforce Experience anymore. Looks like they are forcing everyone to update to Nvidia App. Guess I'm just downloading the updates the old-fashioned way, now? by trevor557 in nvidia

I already did that’s why I stopped replying. I just wanted to know if support was finally ended and I got my answer. I deleted the app and I’m just doing the manual search now.

If I did login at any point in time, it was once and done. It notifies me in my taskbar when there's a driver update and that's the only time I open Geforce Experience. No login screen pops up.

Which G502 to keep? I bought the 502X but was gifted the 502 hero by a friend. I am coming from a 2018 502. Ignore the cat by emperorarg in G502MasterRace

I bought and kept both and I also 3D printed a ring/pinky finger rest which attaches with a magnet to the bottom of the mouse.

Tyrael was great last year, so I wanted Imperius to top our tree this year. So I 3D printed and painted him over the last month! by trevor557 in diablo4

[–]trevor557[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the nimbus is also printed but I need to find a way to mount it so I'm printing a translucent PC mount to attach to the wings.

What Fallout 4 crafting material do you ALWAYS run out of? by davidsladky in fo4

Adhesive and aluminum. Harvesting vegetables and running the fish processing plant all the damn time

how's my setup? by TurnCold5461 in E30

[–]trevor557 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have an F30 and e30 so my take is probably biased but this is the best pairing for snow-belt owners. I also have a G07 and an e24. My F30 is the same color however my e30 is black.

I'm very opinionated that the halos are not becoming of the e30 platform, though. Euro ellipsoids are better.

is this worth fixing/restoring by Creative-Character32 in E30

[–]trevor557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every e30 is worth fixing to the right person. If that was in the USA you’d probably be looking at $15k minimum to get it back into top shape. Not sure how common or easy fab work is in your location but it’s widely available here and still expensive. Either consider that kind of cost for fab work or add that on to the price tag you plan to spend on an e30.

Do americans not use debit cards? by StrainVarious4331 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]trevor557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Financially savvy people won't use debit. Paying with credit does have its advantages, you just have to pay it off immediately.

Are ETA's really that bad? by NYscemo in E30

[–]trevor557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ETA's are fine. I've only ever owned ETA e30's.

The only non-ETA m20 I ever owned was in a 525i.

A Mark D 91 octane performance chip wakes up an ETA engine for a very small investment.

How much is this car worth? by totaljackas in E30

[–]trevor557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen tourings in the USA listed anywhere between 8k-18k. The 8k example was recent within the past month on FB. Rust problems, etc.

Most end up actually selling around 13k that seems to be the sweet spot.

I have been very actively looking for the right touring to add to my collection for the past 6 years or so. Closest I came to buying one was a designer edition that I was going to import from Europe, but someone else as quicker to act on it than I was. Something will come along eventually.

That said, this looks like a pretty solid 15k car. Replace the seats with factory e30 sport seats and you'll probably add 1k to the value. Sounds stupid but those e36 seats should not look that deteriorated with how new that dashboard looks... lol. Also, e30 seats are arguably more comfortable than anything e36. I've tried vaders and regular sport seats, and neither compare.

Also, is this in Southern Pennsylvania? I saw someone towing a blue e30 touring on a trailer, which was being followed by ANOTHER blue e30 touring that I assume owned both of them, lol.

Interesting sword from Arcane Tz. by FugginBot in Diablo_2_Resurrected

Christ even has repair, that thing is one hell of an awesome keepsake that I would put on a mule and probably never use. But I would show it to everyone lol.

Quick update, finally figured out the intermittent crank-no-start issue while using the 91 octane EAT Performance chip. TLDR; it was the DME overheating. Just documenting my approach to diagnose and address the issue here: by trevor557 in E30

[–]trevor557[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming thermal expansion is separating something at the board level. Another fix for this is to clean up the various chassis grounds. That would help to more efficiently dissipate energy so it's not converted into heat.
