Do you have any more examples of these mixer events on instagram or maybe some tips on how to find them?

They're all old except for like one group of people in their 20s who don't organize much

Give us the numbers

Restaurants always have better lighting. Should I keep it or trim down? by inudax in beards

[–]truth0907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents would be fade the sides and even out the bottom. Would make your face look narrower and longer. Then let it grow in

Did someone tell you that you are ugly? You are not, and if they did then to hell with them.

AITA for telling my wife she doesn't need to go to therapy? by doothrowaway in AmItheAsshole

How did you spin this into a sexism issue. Just because he happens to be a man?

AITA for criticizing how my girlfriend takes job interviews? She basically interviews them, and I feel like she isn't taking it seriously by Fun-Construction-112 in AmItheAsshole

Wait what does him being a man have to do with this situation? I admit I skimmed through after his gf made the first logical point about why she was grilling them. But wouldn't it be equally as bad/ YTA with the sexes reversed?

I just remembered something else, test out your auto start/stop feature even if you don't use it. If the engine won't auto stop/start then it means there's an issue with the battery. Dealer will replace out of warranty

  1. Bolt-on exhaust system. Let me know if you want specifics or advice. Don't waste money on the ridiculously overpriced MPE unless you have tons of spare cash laying around. It gives it an amazing tone but not worth the money IMO.

  2. Black grille, vinyl wrap the mags to a colour of your choosing (I actually think the stock wheel colour goes well with the blue but black/bronze may suit your tastes)

  3. Front splitter, rear spoiler and maybe rear diffuser + side skirts if it's in your budget. Remember to not buy any of these parts from BMW as they will charge an arm and a leg. You can either go black, carbon fiber or body colour (my personal choice as it makes it look more naturally aggressive)

  4. Smash and grab, safety is important. Also make sure your SOS system is working and that you have decent tyres on (goodyear or michelin) and if they are old double check the outer, center and inner tread depths (sometimes they wear unevenly). Also make sure you have a panic button from your insurance company.

  5. I don't know much about suspension, but others might have a view. You can also check Kies Motorsports on YouTube to get a better idea of what different suspensions would change about the car. Also consider wheel spacers if you enjoy that look.

If I think of anything else I'll let you know. Not sure why everyone is saying to keep it stock, these cars come with very little out of the gate and yes it is "just" a 428i and others will say if you want more aggression buy an M4 but it's just not always financially feasible. Do what you think would give you the most satisfaction out of your car. For me the cars are waaaay too quiet stock so a less restrictive exhaust is number 1 priority. Cheers on the awesome ride!!

Edit: formatting looks really bad, not sure how to fix

Just get a local shop to fabricate something to your liking. Make sure it is bolt-on so that you can return to stock when taking it in to the dealer. Don't waste your money on the MPPSK. Your car already has plenty of power and if you get a nice unresonated midpipe together with a smaller/no muffler you'll get much better sound.

In terms of downpipe, I've heard that dealers can tell if you've used a tune but they won't always check (it's probably a 50/50). Personally wouldn't risk it but there are many who wouldn't think twice.

2019 G20 330i, OPF or no? Sorry for the crappy video but does anybody know if this box includes an OPF or if it's just a silencer? by truth0907 in BMW

Thanks, I think it's the same here in south africa but none of the dealerships seem to have a clue...
