Yeah, they cut back the benefits for 2017+ models. The BMW dealership made me sign an acknowledgement that I was informed that the benefits had changed since so many people were expecting the old incentives.

Well... it use to be like that but not anymore :( For your car it's only 3 years, not the brakes and it won't transfer to the next owner... You probably wouldn't hit the brakes anyway but the bigger negative is no more free windshield wipers.

Now the key question is did you get your 1200 mile service done on time? hehe :)

You can tell this 'UFO' is the IR lens reflecting her iphone camera ...

It's probably similar to why this Dog Sled Camp and surrounding areas in Alaska look green. The image processing doesn't work well on glacier snow areas and it will pick up on a color and then apply it to shadows. If anything the camp should be full of yellow snow :)

For the Antarctica stuff I suspect its just harder to get good photos especially with all the darkness 1/2 the year so a lot more junk has to be stiched together.

Listenting to teh secret camp video reminded me of something I breiefly mentioned a while ago. I did actually find something once that had a bit more credibility for a base being meant to be kept secret. I posted the co-ordinates at Politics Thread but the site has since scrubbed the visual...

I think it is space moles havesting the inner earth!! Ok...I hate to put an end to the fun but I spent ~5 minutes and figured out what it is... I know, actual investigation makes conspiracy theories boring and its more fun to not put practical effort into it and come up with interesting ideas...

Get ready to pay the remaining half plus some extra high rate interest on top of that if you drag it out.

Even without a waiver professional tuning will not 'void the warranty'. Legally the 'Magnuson Moss warranty act' protects you and only problems that can be directly correlated to your modifications can result in denial of warranty claims. So in this case any powertrain issues wouldn't be...

Dang... So I had to do a test to see where my shift points were with full automatic mode(8 speed). I wouldn't hit 3rd until 60+. It would also hold the RPM fairly high ready for me to get back into business. Down the road a ways it realized I was done and goes into a sane gear level/RPM...

I would sure hope it wouldn't always hover the RPM at 1200... A car like that is going to have more than some simple drive vs overdrive mode. I think the distinction is automatic in the sense that the car 100% decides the shift point vs a car that automatically performs the transition between...

Yeah, that's what I call a money shift hehe :)

Just because you don't have a clutch doesn't mean there isn't any thought/skill that goes into deciding what gear to put the car in at any given point. Any sport car with an 'automatic' transmission has a mode where the driver still has 100% control over what gear the car is in at any given...

There was a similar base like mapping west of the Dugway proving grounds in the middle of nowhere which has now disappeared from the heatmap. Its probably some storage for some nasty chemical weapons that are still around.

Good thing we have some anti-Bolgs here which are the Globs!

We have found 200+ year old mosquitoes in amber. So I propose someone dispose an iPhone in a vat of gorilla glue for historical preservation :)

I think they are referring to some bad inner city areas

I love the interior color. I'm not a fan of the browns. From the picture the shiny look to the seats look like they could use a good cleaning. I've seen before and after shots of this color after a good cleaning and you can restore it to what the rear of the headrests probably still look...

Congrats :) it may not be at the levels of the Mustang but check out some MPE comparison videos if you haven't already like

I'd look into a 340xi w/ track handling and adaptive M and add the MPPSK if one doesn't have it (likely not on a lease for a while since it didn't become a port side install option until late 2016). The 340 adds a bit more power and M235i and more luxery especially of you get the tech...

Don't worry, it's ok if you need to come up with a conspiracy theory to explain how a kids toy works if you don't understand the mechanics of it. How else can you explain that the elevator automatically reverses direction when turning the crank in a single direction?

So I was fixing an old toy from the 80s and I think it was actually made by the gods! There are no batteries or anything. You twist the crank and the elevator goes up and somehow it knows to come back down without even reversing the direction you are cranking. How do they even do that without...

Rocks are a combination of minerals. Next are you are going to tell me air isn't a gas because air is actually a combination of gases and you can't apply calculations meant for gases on air...

You actually bring up a good point that helps me understand your poor thinking in all the topics that come up. You take an extreme and consider that the normal case and use that as an argument. Anyone with a basic knowledge of rock hardness would know sapphire at a scale of 9 is closer to the...

So even at 7 its still not the "2nd hardest material on the entire planet " Thanks for finding a quote that proved your comment was wrong though. I was hoping for a challenge :( lol

Hmm try again.. diorite is only 5.5-6 on the MOHS scale...

Yeah... I no longer think this was unavoidable like the released dash cam makes it look like. That road looks very well lit. She would have been able to see the bike at about the 26 second mark in that video. The impact occurred at around the point the driver was at the 34 second mark. I...

You prett much described the 'Lane change' maneuver taught at the BMW driving school BMW Performance Driving Schools - bmw courses (has a good top down video). I think it is what would have been needed in this case to completely avoid an accident. The idea is there is no time to break and you...

My 340xi has the MSport body with the black grill and I did that with my grill. They are actually plastic inserts designed for the grill but the same idea.

It's the automatic DCT. In sequential mode there is plenty of room to control shifting so I like the system. Unlike my automatic 340xi the DCT in automatic mode still has some behaviors you would see in a manual like if you are in reverse but facing down a hill you will roll forward where I...

Yeah I was lucky and paid less than $500 in taxes. Then you have places like Denmark where there would have been at least 100% additional tax, maybe 150% if the laws haven't changed yet.

A post appropriate for St. Patrick's day. My 2018 M3 ZCP in Java Green. Some day when the sun comes out I'll get some good pictures =p Interior with custom Java Green stitching also.

When the company I worked for was acquired we had a lot of people in their 20s/30s cashing out with 7/8 figure bonuses. They hired financial counselors to address early retirement strategies for us. As BrutalTM mentioned one important aspect they covered was the depression pitfalls people...

Around here most of my prime packages are delivered by Amazon and their couriers(random person in their own personal vehicle) and they often toss the package and don't ring the bell but my camera picks them up so I'm prepared if they ever do break something. After that stuff is delivered by...

I first read about global warming actually causing cooling in Eroupe/ East US coast probably 10 years ago in Scientific american. For a good explanation you can see a more recent article How Climate Change Could Jam The World's Ocean Circulation that doesn't get into any save the Earth mess...

I just picked this up and have a team of 4/5* with T4/T5 gear. Is there any reason to keep the old red/yellow T1-T3 gear? I've been using old purple gear for feeding but I'm not sure if I should be feeding and/or grinding my old yellow/red gear.

70 coins gives 33% (even though the UI shows 11) 15 coints gives 7% (even though the UI shows 2)
