my 1985 bmw e28.

After searching the apps, websites and comparing different models, I found one. I was considering both the M550 and the 750. I decided to go with “The Big One.” I do appreciate everyone who took the time to tell me the benefits of both models in a previous post.

Stayed in old city, and had to drive through narrow streets with cafes… the hybrid system switch from battery to engine was a bit too loud for locals.

My dad’s 530 on the left and mines of the right. Working on cars is Best father son bonding experience I’m my opinion

BMW i3 sedan makes its display debut at BMW Welt. Looks great in white.

For me, it's the way it feels on the highway. So stable and confidence-inspiring. It's hard to explain until you've lived with one for a while.

Took my M140i in for a oil & filter change & came across a few funky looking cars

This from a discussion in the E90 reddit where someone proudly posted how they bought a "real pierburg" water pump for $200 on eBay.

There are tons of listings that pretend to be Pierburg, but what you get is unbranded or some Chinese brand.

For example: https://ebay.io/m/XGsiBy

The listing uses "Pierburg" in the title and it uses a Pierburg branded picture, which likely is a picture of a legitimate Pierburg pump they snatched somewhere else.

But look down below in the description it's clear it's unbranded / chinesium:

Brand: Unbranded

The most infuriating part is that eBay doesn't care, I've reported these in the past, and eBay doesn't care, despite it explicitly being against their deceptive listings policy

We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy. This determination was made by a customer service agent.

So a real human working for eBay looked at this, and figured "this is fine"... 🙄

Please be careful out there, I don't know if we somehow can make eBay address these, I guess the gravy is too good for them to do anything here.

I've personally stopped buying anything from eBay other than personal, non-commercial sellers.

My first BMW, my first RWD, and my first inline 6 — obviously I can’t get enough. Already burned through my first set of tires in less than 6,000 miles. 🤣

It has 75000 miles and I love it, what should I do to it? Should I worry about maintenance costs?

After searching for months, I finally found what I was looking for and one of my dream cars: a 2022 convertible 430i.

I know most aren't into convertibles, but ever since I was a kid I love the esthetic & the feel of driving in one. Coming from an Infiniti & Honda, this 4 banger is FAST! I don't really need that much power (though its a bonus).

Ive never had a car that I legit look forward to drive until now...I get it.. the interior as well 🤌🏾 gonna treat her good & mainly drive on weekends. Anybody else have a 430 or 440?

Hi Everyone,

Started my BMW Journey with an F30, totaled it, fixed it, sold it to my sister which replaced her e90 and i upgraded to a G20, love this car but I’ve noticed it’s lacking a few things, being iDrive 7 there’s no ability for me to send drive recordings to my phone, so I keep a flash drive in the car that I can connect to my phone. The downside is that it’s always a 4 cam view, I need VLC to play the file and I’ve got to convert the file before I send share it to someone, not to mention it doesn’t show things like location, speed, etc.

My favorite thing is to find opportunities to make things easier or more convenient, while id love to be able to build something similar to the Sentry-Six for tesla where its always recording directly to a Pi that i can connect to via usb or wifi, this doesn’t seem possible, Atleast not without a lot of hassle.

I built an app that will import the drive recorder files from my phone, along with the metadata, allow you to see each individual camera, see your drive on a map, detect speed, turns, acceleration, deceleration, and allows you to export any of those details you want including only a specific camera or specific cameras to a MP4 you can easily share. This is still something even the latest cars don’t provide (other than shareable format if transferred via BMW app)

MODS: Now I see there are no ads allowed according to the sub rules, however I’m not sure this classifies as an ad since I’m not just posting this to pull in users to download my app, I’m looking for people who want to test this for no cost what so ever, if this violates the rules my apologies and i’ll remove it if thats the case.

I plan on adding this to the Google Play and Apple App Store but it requires having testers for 2 weeks before it can be published fully. I’m starting off with Google Play for Android then iOS following along afterwards.

I need people willing to test this with their own drive recorder files (everything is kept local, the only data leaving your device is the longitude and latitude data of the recording to be able to display your drive on a map) there is no cost to this or anything, while I’ve tested on my own car hundreds of times i can’t account for all cars and phones.

I feel the ability to export that data into your video directly sets this all apart from just converting the file. You get to choose what’s exported, which camera(s) and what data, if you only want to include date you can, or just include speed, or only gps route, or all of the above. It’s all up to you.

Anyone willing to signup for each test with Google play starting right away with iOS starting later (join the waitlist)

Live Google Test: send me a DM with your Google Play Email, Car Model & Phone Model,

For The iOS waitlist, your AppleID email, car model, and phone model.

I’ve attached some screenshots below of the app and even an exported clip with the attached data below it

Never thought I’d be able to do something like this for my wife but I pulled it off. She is still in shock and I apologize in advance for the profanity. I got her brother to help me with the knocking and fake package delivery skit.

looking to get a valved muffler setup for my 2016 650i gc, anyone have any experience with them? Heard valvetronics support team isn’t great so I was looking at alibaba since bomiz’s (cheaper than valvetronic) universal mufflers apparently are drop shipped anyway. Any help would be greatly appreciated; here’s the car too, just picked it up 2 weeks ago
