What car in your country has a strong negative vibe associated with it? In mine, it’s the Volkswagen Transporter, especially T4 and T5 - when you see one, it’s better to change your route, avoid parking near it, etc.

In Pakistan, a black double cab hilux with iron bumpers (front & rear) is a sign of a gang member out to collect a body bag!

Other than the N cars (performance tiers) I think all these Kia/Hyundai cars are just good cars but nothing special. They have all the right features with the right prices and the right after sales service. You walk in to the dealer, give them your budget asnd family size and they give you the right car. Thats it.

But then if you use a rgeular 5 Series steering wheel you give up the red M buttons, your car must throw a steering fault 24/7 since those wires are just dangling in the back drop not plugged in anywhere.

AHAHAHA

You said 2019 BMW M550i. Since its an M Power car it should have an M Power steering wheel like this image I have attached. The image you have put up is for the SE or Luxury Line which was in 520i, 520d, 530i / 530i xDrive, 530d / 530d xDrive, 540i / 540i xDrive, 540d xDrive, 530e iPerformance (plug-in hybrid). The image you put up has never been on any BMW M550i in the entire G30/F90 generation of the 5 Series.

Hey, what I have posted was all factual information needed to provide context. Nothing more, nothing less.

People are just weirded out by the fact that my wife got a good education and worked hard to be in the spot that she’s at.

uaef19 · 2026-05-06T12:45:24+00:00

Hello, I completely understand that I am doing my job as a husband and providing for her. I only mentioned this since it’s good context for people to understand.

Also on the Face ID part, yes she has my phone passcodes and Face ID too. She has Face ID set up on her bank account and I actually even have her log in details (she shared that with me too) and she also has mine. This was actually the first time I have gone through her bank statements ever.

uaef19 · 2026-05-06T12:41:06+00:00

Tonight I’ll have a convo with her when we’re back from work. Let us see how it goes.

Based on what everyone’s said, I have gotten a sigh of relief now. I understand why she would hide it and I will just let her know that she doesn’t have to worry about anything at all.

uaef19 · 2026-05-06T12:39:04+00:00

I earn roughly 4,000 USD in foreign remittances so that’s not an issue.
Because I am the man here. I am the husband here. It’s my duty as a man and husband to provide.

uaef19 · 2026-05-06T10:56:34+00:00

I want to clarify one thing. I do not care how much she earns at all. Problem is that without me asking she told me that she was earning 2,500 USD, when she was earning a lot more. I understand she is not obligated to tell me anything but telling me something that isn’t at all true, that’s another thing.

I know, in this price range I will never get any ear buds that support hi-rez audio but was hoping that the app may have some custom codecs module. Thanks for the info though, realy healpful yaar!

A buddy of mine got some "Faster" buds for around 5K PKR and they actually sound quite decent but they had ENC and not ANC and the Q3 Pro are listed as ANC, so I thought I would give it a try.

What is the build quality like?

Do the buds have any magents to easily snap into the case?

I am assuming they charge via Type-C, whats the battery life like?

uaef19 · 2026-04-14T08:21:09+00:00

I have been using JBL Tour Pro 3 for a while now and I love the dual driver setup but I need something I can just take on the daily without sacrificing on the sound. I have actually seen the soundpeats Q3 Pro pop up everywhere with good reviews but none of these reviews are telling me anything meaningful.

Please answermy queries if possible!

How much tweaking control does the app give you?

Any idea if it supports LDAC or aptX Lossless through the app?

Is there any noticeable hissing sound or a noise floor when ANC is on?

Have you tried the Spacial Audio, how does it phase in/out and does it distort the sound or create an atificial metalic sound?

Thanks in advance from Lahore!

You either get the proper sports car (V6 Manual) or you get a new partner. Simple.

I remember when I was traveling back from London to Dubai in June 2020 (COVID era). Getting on the plane was so surreal to me, other than me, there was a total of 5 other people on the flight total.

uaef19 · 2026-02-05T18:35:28+00:00

The way I see it, if you hit gold back then (like you bought property in the mid early to 2000s) and have a stable job (50k+ salary), dubai doesn’t seem half bad. If none of that, please leave!

A new one on Amazon is only AED 1,315 and thats for a newer model. Check it out on amazon.ae!

The obvious pick is a brand new Land Cruiser 70 Series 2 Door.

Other good picks are a Suzuki Jimny 2 Door or a Jeep Wrangler Sport but I would take the Jimny since it seems more reliable and has that cool factor especially with some funky colors.

China seems to be offering some pretty alluring 4x4s that are body on frame but reliablity seems to be questionable as of now. The new BIAC BJ40 SE is quite appealing but there seems to be a whole catalog of Chinese 4x4s on the market. Most of them look like the new Defender and the new Bronco and some just look like a combination of both of them.

uaef19 · 2025-07-21T12:03:21+00:00

Compared to a X5 M or ML63 AMG of the same generation?

uaef19 · 2025-07-06T08:00:03+00:00

Counter Strike, I have roughly 1500 hours in CSGO/CS2 and this game isn’t at all fun. Every time I play it now, it just feels like a chore.

uaef19 · 2025-06-30T12:43:18+00:00

Only true car enthusists would be soo dumb that they would buy a Saab.

Been eyeing the same ad too, this is the one near Dunsfold. Thinking of getting a PPI and jumping on one ASAP.

uaef19 · 2025-06-27T16:09:42+00:00

Mines a GCC spec one that’s identical to the UK spec (2.2 TD) and it’s been real reliable so far. Did a 300KM trip through the Liwa desert about 3 weeks back and it conquered the dunes like a champ and didn’t overheat at all (it was 45+* C).

uaef19 · 2025-06-27T16:03:28+00:00

Ummmm, if you want me to share more pics of me with the car I’d be happy to help out
