Nostalgia is an inescapable and often expensive drug. It is often a very fun kind and probably the best recreational kind. Picture me last summer thinking how good it would be to have a proper Super Soaker water gun fight with my kids only to find that they are: No longer available All similar products on the market are crap. So I found these which I have not bought...but probably will this summer: https://www.spyraone.com/?locale=en Bape Culture posted:Cars are loving stupid

Why get one of those when you can easily spend twice as much on a vintage water gun? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Entertech-...VwAAOSwNNFforAy Bonus: Cops will definitely shoot you if you have this, AND it shoots water up to 3' for over 11 minutes on just 4 AA batteries!

lol I just looked at the prices of those water guns after reading the reactions and thinking “how bad could it be?” Im guessing they’re so expensive due to German Engineering.

NitroSpazzz posted:The S14 is seriously crap at low revs but get it into proper operating range and it's an amazing engine. That said there's a lot of other cars I'd consider for even 50k before buying a E30 M3. There's a reason a plug n play m54 is probably in my e30's future assuming it ever rolls again. The 4cyl options for those cars were always positively gutless and my superETA is definitely showing its age and heft even if its cool as hell. Maybe I'll put it into a Mastercraft one day...

If any of you have E46 Floormats embroidered with the M3 logo on them BMW no longer makes them and they're now quite sought after item on the forums. Guess I was lucky to pick up a new set a month or two ago. Now I want to take them out of the car.

BMW tries to keep their product line streamlined. They barely have room as is for the X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Z4, i3, iXwhatever, i8, M2, M3, M4, M5, M4 convertible, M8, M8 convertible, M8 Gran Coupe, X5M, X6M, X3M, and X4M. A wagon model would make it too cluttered and confusing.

So, back in August I bought a CPO 2016 M235i. It's been great, but a couple days ago the windsheild washers stopped working. I've been trying to find the fuse for it, but the only diagram I found was for the fuse panel in the trunk which doesn't seem to contain the fuse I'm looking for. (next to the picture of the washer there is a picture of a car on a lift?) The fuse panel located in the engine compartment doesn't have a diagram at all, and I can't seem to find one anywhere online. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

The wagon we bought just has the regular steel suspension, although has the sport package so it's slightly lower. I didn't want to go out of my way to add complexity to a car that we're putting serious miles on. Residency Evil fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Jan 14, 2021 |

If it's like the F30 sedan, there's another fuse box in the passenger footwell, right hand side below/in front of the door hinges. That's where the horn fuse is, anyway. It's under the trim and a bitch to get to. Is it still under CPO? $50 might be worth it to have them gently caress around with the trim?

It should be still covered under CPO (until 2022, I believe), but the nearest dealership is over an hour away, so I was hoping I could just check out the easy stuff before having to make that drive. Cojawfee posted:They stopped putting the fuse box behind the glove box? I did not see any clips to access one in the glove box. There is one in the trunk near the battery and one in the engine compartment near the washer fluid resevoir. Irritatingly, the only one that has any sort of diagram is the one by the battery, and it is just a slip of paper tucked into it that has icons for everything. There is no diagram at all for the engine side fuses, and no mention at all in the owners manual for one behind a kick panel.
