Passed on the Z4, just not ready to buy yet with all this poo poo going on and I didn't like being pressured because "moving tomorrow better buy it now" Was a pretty car tho I'll give it that.

I've been rocking Firehawk Indy 500s and they are pretty nice. About half the cost of getting PS4s.

flightless greeb posted:Looks great! Really like the F10 - would love to grab the M5 one day if I can ever afford the maintenance on it and decide I'm sick of manuals. Did you have the coyote brown leather in your older car? I'm in love with that color. Nah, just the nice boring black! I will add that the white seats that are still pretty popular are aging like poo poo on the used market.

I ran PSS for the longest time but the Indy 500s are a fraction of the price and perform nearly as good... I am not pushing them to the limit that PSSs require, for sure.

Half the price for a car that eats tires for breakfast, brunch, elevenses, lunch, supper, dinner, dessert, and midnight snack is appealing

I don't know exactly what size you need, but I clicked around various years for M5s on the firestone site and every 20" option didn't have any tires.

Is there anything weird you have to setup to use Spotify over bluetooth on an android phone for an i3? My 2016 i3 just got delivered today, and i can't get Spotify to play audio. Castbox plays podcasts fine but for some reason the car won't play audio from Spotify and doesn't show the track details. The Spotify app also doesn't show up on Connecteddrive or media like I've seen on some people's cars. Any ideas?

Tried a...reboot of the phone?

Yeah, tried that & reinstalling spotify and connceteddrive, updating the car and a few other things. FWIW I chucked a post up on the reddit i3 forum and the first reply was someone saying they're having the exact same issue. For now I've solved it by using google music instead, I'll try it with my wife's Samsung when I get a chance, maybe it's something weird with my phone...

Always play music over Bluetooth when I'm in the car but usually using poweramp to play music on my phone. Went to try Spotify today and I get nothing. Shows it's playing and is connected but no music through the speakers even at max volume. Tried poweramp again and it worked fine. Even tried opening Spotify through the BMW connected app but same issue.

Some people are just paranoid about posting their VIN online. The same kind of folks who block out their license plate when they post pictures of their car online. No big deal, IMO.

 I had forgotten how terrible prepping things for paint is. All four calipers have been sanded with 120 then 400 grit. I'm going to use my Dremel to remove the front casting marks as well as get in the nooks and crannies. I'm going to shoot them gloss black, mask of the M logo casting and shoot that with the teal, blue, red, white and seal and finish it all with clear. Hopefully this turns out ok. Wish me luck.

Polished calipers probably wouldn't look too terrible depending on the asthetic you were going for and how often you actually polished them. hitze posted:I'd paint them brake dust grey Great idea, it'll provide the illusion that I actually drive this car. quote:E: good pic for a new page.

There are two kinds of truck owners 1) waxes and polishes truck every sunday 2) drives off the dealer lot, does not buy the bed liner, immediately goes to home depot and throws 400 lbs of firewood in the bed of the truck

Mr. Apollo posted:I’ve see that a few times in ads and wondered what the catch is. It indicates a couple of possibilities with BMWs 1) its been hit. (This was and is a huge thing with e36s (and maybe other chassis, but that's where my experience lies)) as from factory all panels had a label with the VIN. If it has a replacement panel, it's labeled DOT-R) 2) it's stolen 3) flood car/etc. Lots of BMW VIN decoders online can tell you the factory options. If something was changed or replaced, real easy to tell from the VIN and pictures before you go look.
