So I'm learning a lot about this car that I purchased retroactively after buying it
I didn't realize the car's transmission also needs to be put into Sport mode for full power and tune activation. And I also didn't realize that when doing so it pops and crackles a lot until I had my friend record a video of it.
Leave it to BMW to soundproof their cabin well enough that you don't even hear the exhaust popping
I really appreciate the tune that the previous owner had for this car. It only burbles/pops in Sport+ with the transmission also in Sport+

A 2023 Toyota Camry or 2023 Honda Accord
Accords are really nice, but only if its the 2.0T; the 1.5T is just bad. The rest of the car is pretty alright, the Honda interior is pretty decent. The Honda infotainment is really nice.
The Camry is a tad outdated in a lot of ways, but tbh I prefer it. Toyota just seems to do a lot of things better, like the safety tech and overall interior design. I am biased towards Toyota, but I do own a modern Honda; so take that for what you will.
But ultimately I think you should drive both and decide for yourself. The correct choice mainly depends on which is cheapest, best suits your needs, and which you like the best. If neither seem to make sense, just get something a bit older and lightly used; there's no reason to compromise, especially on a car you will be driving a lot. This also applies to the dealership, even if you decide you want one or the other make sure to shop around and see which dealership is best and can give you the best deal.

everybody is way slower than the speed limit when its fine to go way faster
they go way faster when they should be under the speed limit
left lane means nothing

I dont understand why the left lane is supposed to be the fast lane
It should be the slow lane
And everyone stays on the left
Then they go on the right to pass or get off
Then as many cars can get on as they want and the people already on the highway arent in the way

well to me
its the fast lane because its the furthest from where you do get on and off
and the shoulder
to keep distance from the slower traffic
i really dont care where it is as long as i have a fast lane
most of the time im driving every lane is the slow lane

Was going that fast

Eh i don't generally judge truck drivers too much because that's a lot of mass to try and manage
But the one thing that pisses me off is when they sit in the fast lane for absolutely no reason

Know that BK2 sign.
Bärighetsklass2, something not Swedes doesn’t know what it is.

Swedish sign for limited weights.

There is several classes there for max weight, length between axels and axel weight
civic spoke
I guess that other places might just use tonnes?

My truck's allowed to weigh 23,52 tonnes on BK2 roads. Which I guess you could just call secondary roads? As opposed to main roads.
It's a whole process to figure out what you're allowed to weigh.

That sounds like a chore

how would I fix loss of engine power in a Diesel engine

how would I fix loss of engine power in a Diesel engine
Anything else that happens? Or is it just "Loss of power"?

I haven’t even bought the thing yet, I’m looking at the “things that are broken” sheet
it just says “loss of engine power”

953k miles????
Chief that engine is probably on its way out
wispy cloak
A new engine or a rebuild

It could be simpler than that
But with the mileage
It's a ticking time bomb honestly

Do you run a bus line?
near lantern
moving people from my place of work to a nearby parking lot
wispy cloak
Do you have the licensing to operate that bus?
near lantern
I ain’t gonna be driving it I’m just looking to get it for my work
wispy cloak
Well then tell them that they can get this bus but it is likely a poor financial decision
Also why are they putting you in charge of buying the bus
They'd have to have somebody with a CDL and air brake cert to drive it
wispy cloak
Tell them that it's likely an incredibly poor idea to get
As it will have high maintenance and operating costs
near lantern
this bus used to be owned by North County Transportation District in California as number 1143
wispy cloak
Definitely do not buy a government owned vehicle
Especially if maintenance records are not present
It has front end issues, rear end issues, power issues, and brake issues
wispy cloak
I'm saying buy another one
Government owned vehicles are known for being run into the ground

I think shorter buses are cheaper and don't require the special license, so that might be a route to explore compared to dealing with a big one
civic spoke
I think shorter buses are cheaper and don't require the special license, so that...
Probably depends on what it is. Here a small buss that you can drive with a normal license would require it to have a GVWR of 3,500 kg or under, and have fewer than 8 extra seats.

Steering bushing are knackered, that's a replacement
If y'all need a bus for transportation, get a school bus
Easier to keep running
Likely mileage will be lower
civic spoke
Usually decently maintained, too.

Maybe it's because you didn't go into detail on what's wrong with it
"Loss of power" can be caused by so many different things
It could be fueling issues, boost issues, pcm issues, or just a plain worn out engine
And based on the mileage
I'm gonna say worn out engine
It's like saying "my computer won't turn on" without providing any other details
civic spoke
Could be as simple as a clogged fuel filter.
But details are limited.
So no real troubleshooting can be done.

that’s the thing, I don’t know what exactly is wrong
they wont tell me
stoic ledge
Then we don't know either 🤔
wispy cloak
that’s the thing, I don’t know what exactly is wrong
Which is another reason I wouldn't buy it
If they won't tell you specifics then it seems really shady

even for a diesel thats pushing it
that right there my friend
is whats wrong with it
engine rebuild 100%
it probably has lack of power because it has a farts worth of compression at this point

literally just find another bus its more trouble than its worth lol

Were you riding the small frame hondas?
rugged lynx
200cc honda with balloon tires and no suspension
i cut the thing up so it couldn't kill anyone else lol
rugged lynx
chain will pull start. it was kind of big
I have the engine though, it can go on something with 4 wheels or 2
rugged lynx
yep that looks like it
wispy cloak
Those aren't really the ones known for being death traps
Usually it's the ATC110 and ATC125
Small and way too fast for their own good
It's a shame that you cut it up because the large frame ones are actually worth some money
wispy cloak
They're designed so that the tires are the suspension
rugged lynx
i guess parts of the frame still exist
