Just Cars?

[open sigil]

my mom doesnt like suvs 🤣

also what the fuck

WHY

[wise mirage]

hell nah

[wise mirage]

ah i need one since snow is crazy here

[open sigil]

that should be enough to total the car

[wise mirage]

2 winters ago we got 17 inches in one night

crazy stuff

[open sigil]

if only m340is werent so expensive

[wise mirage]

over rated imo

[open sigil]

i feel like if they just kept the name 340i they wouldnt have gone up in price 🤣

[wise mirage]

540 is more executive

and cleaner

again undercover power

[open sigil]

540i is very underrated

[wise mirage]

if nobody sees the M badge then its hard to tell if itll gap your ass

[open sigil]

need to snatch one up before they rise in price

[wise mirage]

id say 540i

check out the new X1 M35i

you shouldnt get it but just look at it

its interesting

2L 4Cyl making 312HP

[open sigil]

is it b48?

[wise mirage]

impressive

i belive so

i think it might be a TU B48

[open sigil]

that interior is

interesting

i really dislike the new idrive lmao

[wise mirage]

yes

it is the B48

DCT too i beleive

[open sigil]

idrive 7 is my all time favorite

pretty easy to push power out a 540i too right

download horsepower from google drive or something

🤣

[wise mirage]

not much aftermarket support for exhasut and other stuff but JB4 and such yea

there is a Aftermarket downpipe

you can make your own exhaust since there isnt many

prep your car before tunig

tuning*

dont touch a tuning software till you DP and maybe even chargepipe

[open sigil]

i don’t think i will for a while after getting it

[wise mirage]

i havent even yet

[open sigil]

stock is probably plenty fast for me

[wise mirage]

i still need to get my emissons serviced before i do

i have a error for that but my shop caught it and noted i have a warranty

$2000 part

[open sigil]

got any sound clips of your x3?

[wise mirage]

yes 1 sec

keep in mind mine will be diff

i have a 8 port exhaust stock and your 540 will be 2 port

also discord compression

@open sigil ^

[open sigil]

damn thats stock?

[wise mirage]

yes

[open sigil]

that sounds great for stock

[wise mirage]

but its also a M Exhaust from factory so dont expect that from your 540i

this was the only year and model they had this kind of exhaust on a M-Lite car

after 2020 they muted the hell out of it cause the X3M came into existence

[open sigil]

i definetely want something to bring out the sound of the turbos more

[wise mirage]

then youll want a downpipe

probably remove the resonator too itll cause a "rattle" noise

without a matching DP

[open sigil]

so much money for the full setup

[wise mirage]

yea

[wise mirage]

i know i did my research i wanted a great exhaust for stock

[fathom brook]

Champagne color

Pour up a glass every time you take the car out with your pinky up

[fluid yoke]

Was looking at getting a 540i. I know m550i is more expensive to buy and run but if we look just at the car price, it's not that much more. You can find some that are maybe 10k more for m550 then 540

[fluid yoke]

@gentle osprey do you have 20 zones you drive by everyday? Those are the trickiest to follow the limit. When I was learning to drive there was a 20 zone near by I was always going 25/26

[gentle osprey]

Yeah, quite easy for me drop to 2nd and hold at the shifting notification on the dash as it's a blue motion van

[fluid yoke]

Very similar to what I want. The blacked out theme is nice. Just needs some slight visual mods. The wooden bits are really cool

[frosty snow]

Yep

[radiant lion]

That could very well be me😂our hotel is 2mins from Times Square

An accord on BBSs???

[fathom brook]

Im staying in times square this weekend and in chelsea tomorrow when i go for work

Probably fake bbs it is ny everything is fake

[radiant lion]

We're in Harlem going to fifth Ave rn

[radiant lion]

Real ones are worth more than the car right?

[fathom brook]

Yeah exactly

[radiant lion]

Last night on fifth

[radiant lion]

[fathom brook]

Lol saw my first G wagon in manhatten im in soho shopping today

Youre not Accademia britannica are you?

[fluid yoke]

@open sigil do you not want a brown interior? I like the full blacked out look but I feel the black interior is not as cool as the brown one? Most listed cars don't have it as it was an optional extra

[open sigil]

most of the ones i’m seeing are white with black interior

brown interior harder to find and will probably cost extra

[fluid yoke]

Yep. Black interior is cool but I want second car to have brown maybe as I have already had black and want it to be unique

Do you want a white one? I want a fully blacked out 540

[open sigil]

almost every single one i’ve seen is white 😂

i’ll probably end up with a white one with black interior

[fluid yoke]

You can wrap it if you want

Was thinking satin black

@wise mirage this one is perfect

but all the way in palm springs so far

pre lci m sport with all the packages

harmon kardon speakers 👀

[radiant lion]

DBX

[frosty snow]

So many

Right outside the core

Before freeway entrances

Even one by Manhattan Lamborghini

[frosty snow]

He lives in Chelsea

[frosty snow]

Burmester is better

So glad it’s optionable on Porsche

[wise mirage]

imo harmon kardon fell off in this era but the base speakers are no better

my biggest gripe with my X3 is the speakers....my 2014 320i speakers are much much better

[wise mirage]

the diamond knitted seats are better but i do like those

[wise mirage]

yeah thats pretty far, whats your list look like so far? you should calculate a route in order for all the ones you like

so you arent driving like a zigzag across LA

[open sigil]

it’s all over the place

2 in calabasas, 2 in palm springs, 2 in downtown la

[wise mirage]

yea so you should map it out in order closest to your house yk

so you arent running all over the place and passing dealerships as you are going to a different one

[open sigil]

problem is i haven’t found any good that are somewhat local

but i’d be more than willing to go a long distance if it’s for a good car

getting to downtown la will be no problem, going to calabasas or palm springs will be hour 30 or more

actually never mind, calabasas is about an hour and palm springs is an hour 30

[fluid yoke]

Thinking wether to do a satin black wrap on my current car

Wonder how much it would cost

[fluid yoke]

The second car was 1.5hrs away from me so I had a cruise down the motorway till I got to the dealership

[open sigil]

1
2
3
4
5
6

these are the 6 ive got on my list for now

1, 2, 5, and 6 are my top picks

3 and 4 are ehh

[frosty snow]

Yes

[frosty snow]

Market is like 3-4k full car vinyl in CAD, and 6-7k full car PPF. Convert to usd accordingly

[wise mirage]

Speaking from experience the speakers are pretty bad if it’s a mix of bass and treble all together some songs sound others I’ve heard better in a base model F-150 🤣 @frosty snow

Sound good*

[wise mirage]

To be completely honest I love to help point out what I see and stuff but all in all it’s gonna be your decision. It’s really how you feel in these 6 cars. Anything to do with reliability is constant so there really shouldn’t be any worries here

[gentle osprey]

Speaking of speakers I've got my amp placed in the back of my van. That's driving a little 10" under my seat. Upgraded the door speakers but debating putting my very fancy ones in

[wise mirage]

Nice setup! Very clean.

How’s the wiring look underneath the box ?

[gentle osprey]

Danke, I need to make a vanity cover for it

Wiring underneath is a mess at the moment I'll tidy it up though

Here we are

[wise mirage]

Ah that’s not too terrible if you choose to use vinyl for your vanity cover i recommend to use a plastic kinda insert to the holes for your wires cause vinyl can get sharp over time and shear your sheathing on your wires

And once it shears you can get shorts etc

Super annoying

[gentle osprey]

Yeah, I'm going to grommet the holes, the cover plate will be carpeted to match the rest of the van. I'll add some mesh to the front so the amp can dump it's heat. I need to get it off for a service as well soon

[wise mirage]

Nice idea carpet in vans always is a clean way to do it and gives off 70’s vibes

Maybe a little 80mm fan for the amp would be a nice addition if you are adding carpet and the likes

[gentle osprey]

Just a touch 😂

I have a couple of 60mm fans, could do a pogo pin connector if needed. It's a class A amp so it's not overly juicy about 180W bridged

I have a set of these which I should really put back to work. Just have to fathom a way to make them visible in the doors

[frosty snow]

Exactly

[open sigil]

we are gonna be heading to palm springs next weekend to check out that white 540i if it’s still there

already had plans to go there anyways so if it gets sold no biggie

[fluid yoke]

Do you know if those cars come with the fancy 5 series key with the screen? I don't know on what 5 series they use that key

[open sigil]

as far as i know those are optional upgrades

anything with idrive 8 is compatible with the digital key but you pay extra for that

pretty useless imo cuz you can just use your phone

[fluid yoke]

Yeah but it's cool

[open sigil]

oh man tuning is so confusing

[fluid yoke]

Why?

You are trying to tune a car?

[open sigil]

some can be unlocked by yourself, some can be unlocked by shops in the us, and some have to be unlocked by a specific shop in finland

im just researching bmw tuning

[fluid yoke]

Ah yeah that is true

I'm more thinking for now doing a tune on my seat leon. The 540i is in the future for now

If I get a 540. It's long so maybe I'll get 340

[open sigil]

im used to 540i size

my altima is the same size

id like to have a m340i but those are out of my budget

[fluid yoke]

Yeah but you have a driveway no?

[open sigil]

nope

just garage

[fluid yoke]

When I get my tire fixed I will take a picture of both my cars right next to each other on our road to show how tight it is. Our cars are not the widest, everyone else has wider cars especially one long wide van is on our road

[open sigil]

parking with my mom in a nutshell

its hard for her to park in the garage when theres no cars in it, so if i come home after her almost guaranteed im gonna have to squeeze out or call her to move her car

gets tough

have to fold my mirrors in most of the time so she wont hit them

[fluid yoke]

Sounds familiar

Saw a dark blue 5 series that colour is also cool

I have to park on the street in front of the house and so I have to unfortunately be considerate of the neighbours and them having space to get in an out and also parking 1 finger from the kerb so delivery vans don't hit me as it happened to the neighbour last year or 2 years ago I cannot remember

I'll see what I'll get

I just got a text message my tyre will be delivered today. It's already in the boot 🤦‍♂️

[open sigil]

i wish i had a driveway

[neat isle]

[hybrid marlin]

All clean and filled up 🤙🏼

[proud tulip]

Apparently you can get a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. With a 392 in it 😂

only $110k

[simple bear]

Hellcat engine?

[open sigil]

r/t engine

and scat pack

[proud tulip]

Mhmmm

[proud tulip]

Apparently you can get a Wrangler with the hellcat engine as well tho lmfao

[hybrid marlin]

They’ve been out for a few years now

[hybrid marlin]

The R/T has a 5.7L, so not a 392.

5.7 - R/T
6.4L - Scat Pack
6.2 supercharged - Hellcat

[open sigil]

confusing now because the rt is scat pack

they’re all boats anyways

[hybrid marlin]

R/T isn’t a Scat Pack, they’re separate

I drive a boat too lol

~4000lbs

[open sigil]

scat pack is an option of rt

[open sigil]

but it’ll actually put the power down without wrapping itself around a pole

[hybrid marlin]

Lmfao true. I have gotten in some sketchy situations where I’ve kicked the rear out a little too far. It is RWD though

Nice thing though is it has a LSD

[open sigil]

i’m just biased against american cars

🤣

[hybrid marlin]

I personally don’t like them lol

[open sigil]

i like a few

ford gt, gt500/350, corvettes, etc

rest are crap

[hybrid marlin]

Yeah the, there are exceptions

Trucks aren’t bad either. Want a Raptor soon

[open sigil]

hopefully by end of september i’ll be in a 540i

[proud tulip]

Sunday was first ive seen one at all lmfao

Ngl. I kinda think a 392 Wrangler is... dumb tbh

[simple bear]

What is that, a big block in a Jeep? It's not that dumb

[proud tulip]

its very dumb seeing as 99% of Wranglers have always been V6s as far as ik, tho some have optional 4 cyclinder engines

[tough torrent]

Something you may or may not know Jeep had the 304 and the 360 V8's before most of you were even born. The Wrangler (CJ/DJ) had the V8s in them . I think there was a 5.0L V8 w/4wd in the CJ back in the early 1980s. The best engine Jeep ever made was the 4.0L Inline 6. Something you probably did not know AMC bought the Jeep car company in 1970. In the year 1987, Chrysler bought AMC and renamed in to Jeep Eagle Corporation then merged into Chrysler in 1990.

Was overtaken from an m340i. It sounded nice but on that shit road even going the speed limit (30) is too much. I was going 30 and the whole time I was being tailgated and the driver was dodgy. Where I know the roads and the road quality is good I have and do speed but on that shit road with holes and random creases or whatever bumps in the road no thanks I have small profile tyres and low car

[open sigil]

talking about telling me to docusign and deliver it before even checking it out in person

I was thinking wether it's a 20 or 30 at one point and said to father eh there is no cameras so whatever 🤣 been to that area few times as currently there is a road closed so I have to go around

I feel slightly stressed as who knows if the idiot is paying attention and if I brake they may go into my boot. I am mainly thinking about wether there is cameras or not and I can floor it xd

[pliant agate]

I agree with the first part; if you brake, they may hit you.

However, I don't care to speed and therefore "flooring it" is not on my mind.

[fluid yoke]

Was going to ask what mods you doing

@gentle osprey uk is terrible when it comes to putting a nice tint on your car. Wanted tint but it seems all my windows have it but it's not dark enough

I found out yesterday my side front windows have tint but it's so minimal after half a year of ownership I noticed it

[fluid yoke]

Maybe exhaust mod? Or stage 1?

[open sigil]

nothing until the car is paid off

will be in a few months

even then im probably keeping it stock for a while

since its a 2021 the DME (ecu) is locked so if i wanted to tune id have to send it out to get unlocked

its perfect as is to me

quiet, comfortable, but can put power down whenever you want

[gentle osprey]

Perks of a van, only the back windows (if you have them) to worry over, I some one way privacy panels in, I can see out the back but you can't see in, an if you shine a torch because its not against the window it just reflects back and blinds you.

[open sigil]

@frosty snow how much was it to tint your car?

i got a quote for 800 USD for entire car including windshield

shop giving me a 20 percent discount because im a returning customer

[proud tulip]

Ol girl hit 230k last week

[frosty snow]

Scam

[frosty snow]

It was 220 windshield, 480 full car

Their material cost is like 160

For tints

[open sigil]

that’s the general price range here for a full car with windshield

[frosty snow]

damn, exp

[fathom brook]

Thats actually not a bad price for 800 if theyre using the best parts

My corvette invoice and i only did 2 windows and front. But i did do the best tint on the market

But i wanted best nano ceramic tint because its very hot in atlanta

My corvette is way cooler than the mercedes with the cheaper tint i got for it back in 2013. Tint still holding up well in the merc though no bubbles or discoloration, but you can tell the tint in nano ceramic removes more UV and heat

[frosty snow]

Mine is ceramic

I guess material cheaper up here

For 3m or xpel

[open sigil]

it’s full llumar IRX

[fathom brook]

You live in CA right? 800 sounds like a good price for IRX its nano ceramic

Maybe you can still shop around for an xpel tint like mine. Suntek also

I went on the xpel and suntek site and just mass contacted all their partner shops

[open sigil]

yep

this quote for 800 honestly the best one they’re giving me a 20 percent discount because i’m a returning customer

would be close to 1k without discount

Also is nano ceramic the best tint material? Don't know much about tints but will need to find out more as I want to black out my car

[open sigil]

for coasting/cruising on the highway yeah

[fluid yoke]

Yeah you could. On highway I still keep in sport as it's not that fast of a car so if I want to overtake I can immediately. It's 130hp

It does have torque though. Around 40 mph in 4th if I give 30% throttle or something like that it does push me back into my seat

5th on that speed still reactive when I give it gas but not too much

[open sigil]

dam

that’s bonus range for me to burn later

[frosty snow]

Cause it shuts off the engine when cruising under gliding mode as Benz calls it

But basically coasting and driving low rpm cruising already increases range

As you have your initial momentum

[fathom brook]

Yeah my 2012 E350 gets ~550 miles on a highway cruise. The executive class german cars have big tanks

Even the corvette gets about 450 it has a big tank and highway mileage i get about 30 even though its advertised 24 highway

Also the bmw engine is so fuel efficient its such a good engine

[open sigil]

to tune or to not tune 🤔

will void my warranty

[fluid yoke]

Definitely to tune

How long till warranty is finished

If you want wait till it's over as I don't think you have much left of it then tune

[frosty snow]

You can tune to be more fuel efficient too

[open sigil]

2027 or 100k miles 😂

[open sigil]

if i did a tune it would be for more power, bolt on and stage one is easy 450+

man mine needs a FEMTO unlock 😞

DME would have to go to finland to get unlocked

[fathom brook]

I thought the B58 after 2021 werent that great to tune

[open sigil]

because of the locked DME

its just harder to tune

gotta send the dme to a shop in finland

theyre the only shop who knows how to do it and theyre gatekeeping from other tuners

huge tank and huge consumption

why not a sports suv? like x3 M, x3 m40i, x5 M, etc

[hybrid marlin]

X5 M is expensive af

I would look at a slightly used Maserati Levante

One with lower milage isn't bad, I wouldn't buy one new due to instant depreciation

It has the Ferrari 3.8L V8

What is a turn signal

[neat isle]

[open sigil]

idk but the hazards are the park anywhere button

[proud tulip]

[fathom brook]

Them turn signals in bmws are silent too thats why the owners dont use them. I always forget its on when i drive a bmw

[open sigil]

another reason was on the older BMWs, the turn signal would return to neutral position when going left/right, and then when they went to turn it off, they would accidentally flick it the other way

making them look very dumb from the outside

for example signaling left and then going right

so they just stopped using them

[fathom brook]

Lol is carlos still hiding from the government

[austere nimbus]

I’d rather Honda on top bc of their dirtbikes n stuff

[fathom brook]

Maybe they can help nissan make a true bmw competitor again because the type R isnt even beating the m340, but they can build up the 400Z to possibly

[frosty snow]

Then Nissan also has infinity

But all they do is fart in them

[proud tulip]

Oh definitely. Honda has some solid stuff ngl

[open sigil]

finally got the ambient lighting fixed

had a bunch of dead zones and right side completely not lighting up

fixed for free under warranty

[hybrid marlin]

Already having warranty work?

[open sigil]

the light strip was the only issue on the car

[hybrid marlin]

Ah

[open sigil]

they just replaced that entire part of the dash

[hybrid marlin]

Yup, they will never fix anything

Replacing stuff is easier

[open sigil]

i don’t think that specific part can even be repaired

and under warranty easier to just bill the manufacturer for the part

[hybrid marlin]

I'm sure it could, but not cost efficient

[open sigil]

the lighting looks absolutely amazing now though

too bad i do most of my driving in the daytime 😭

[hybrid marlin]

Raptorrrrrr

Sadly no ambient lighting

My Stinger had ambient lighting

[open sigil]

the only part of the lighting i don’t like (more of a nitpick) is the footwell lighting is very dim

[frosty snow]

Benz has it more subtle and can do two tone

[open sigil]

bmw can also do two tone

[frosty snow]

Cause u can dim and do zones

[open sigil]

there is a lot less customizability in the colors though

but you can access full color spectrum through bimmercode

[frosty snow]

Ye

[open sigil]

no idea why bmw locked it to so many few presets from factory

in the benz you can use the full color wheel

[frosty snow]

Yessir

[fluid yoke]

Same. It's barely noticeable. Maybe if I drive when it's pitch black I will notice it more

[fluid yoke]

Mine has a few colours I can chose from which is not that great. It has the dark blue I want but still want to be able to pick whatever I want

Also neighbour blacked out their volvo suv - looks cool and makes me want to do it on mine too

[fathom brook]

Could be worse you could have an american car you spent 95k on to have the amp die, electronics sometimes dont work, AC compressor seal needs replacing and leaked, middle glove box button popped out and broke

All in under 2 years

Atleast the mechanical stuff hasnt broken i guess

Oh and i had to get a re-alignment that chevy fixed under warranty for cause the alignment out the factory was bad

Meanwhile my 12 year old E350 only had one issue that my dad ripped the seat but they still fixed it under warranty

[open sigil]

on the corvette?

also the fishbowl life is coming to an end

been 2 weeks of pain

getting tints this thursday

[fathom brook]

Yeah the corvette

[open sigil]

dam

v8 tho

[wise mirage]

where you get that

[open sigil]

the bmw app

[wise mirage]

i think my 2018 is just a little to old for that

i dont have that option

[open sigil]

at least you can tune your b58 a lot easier

no major hurdles

[open sigil]

debating if i wanna go 15 and 5 again for my tints

i would like it to look uniform this time around so same shade in front and rear

15 i feel like is too light and 5 is too dark when driving

but i also drive mostly daytime 🤔

[open sigil]

got them down to 750 for whole car except sunroof

[fluid yoke]

Is there not 10 then? I don't know much about tints

If you drive mostly daytime then 5? When you have to drive at night just be extra careful and don't drive as quick?

[open sigil]

i don’t think there’s a 10

i like 5 but it might be a bit too crazy for me

[fluid yoke]

So 15 then

What does 15 even mean?

I know about TVL or whatever it was the Acronym. In the uk 75% of light must come into the cabin from the front windshield and front doors 70%

[open sigil]

visible light transmission

so 15 means only 15 percent of visible light goes through the window (darkness)

[frosty snow]

5 only good in back, it’s so bad at night with rain

[fluid yoke]

Hows the laws with tints

Uk laws are stupid for tinting 75% for front and 70 for front side windows. Back and rear whatever you want

[open sigil]

technically illegal but not really enforced unless cop is in a bad mood or you did something else and they stack that fine on top of it

[gentle osprey]

Having had to move a vehicle with heavy front tints in the dark, I can apprentice why it's not legal in the UK. I could barely see where I was going.

[fluid yoke]

Is there some tint where outside its black and you can't see inside but from the inside you can see perfectly

[frosty snow]

https://www.instagram.com/godwintse/reel/C-n6d7rRfOv/

[frosty snow]

One way mirrors

Cause of the film it’ll block out light at night

But 20% ceramic tints will do that

[open sigil]

tint is always lighter from the inside because the light is reflecting from the outside

no tint by design is lighter from the inside

[open sigil]

never seen this before

gas station in utah

never seen 85 before

[open sigil]

those front plates 🤮

[fathom brook]

85 is regular in a lot of states like how 91 is premium in some. GA is 87 89 93

Thats also why its slightly cheaper

[neat isle]

Pricy

[open sigil]

nah this is pricy

tourist town by grand canyon

only gas station in town, so they charge whatever they want

5.29 for 87 is unreal more than a dollar more expensive than california

[fluid yoke]

Seen a place where it was £1.8 per litre when everywhere else it's around 1.4/1.5 at that time

[fathom brook]

Buccees in auburn alabama was 3$ even for 93 last week when i was going to destin. Cheapest ive seen all year

[open sigil]

im paying around 4.4-4.8 for 91

[fathom brook]

You making CA money its all good

[open sigil]

it hurts though

would be near 90-100 bucks for a full tank from 0

[frosty snow]

By law for Ontario

I just don’t run one cause it looks ugly

[frosty snow]

Canadian prices even worse

[fathom brook]

Do you just pay the ticket if you get one?

[neat isle]

I just paid 3.39 for 87 thinking it wasn’t great

[open sigil]

@wise mirage got a question you might know the answer to

whats the engine code for a 2021 540i

b58TU, b58TU gen2? or something else

2021 has the 48v mild hybrid too

[proud tulip]

Google :P

Orrrrr

Look on your engine

It should have a build plate on it saying what type it is

Or etched into the block itself potentially?

[open sigil]

they use a bunch of diff names and versions its not that simple

only vin is etched in the engine bay

[proud tulip]

Ahhhh gotcha

[fathom brook]

just ask the bmw dealership to run it for you call them tomorrow

Says online the b58TU2 isnt out yet on the g30. And your car is a regular b58

The b58TU1 has the 380hp engine and yours has the 335

[frosty snow]

If camera ye, if police fight it

[open sigil]

what’s confusing is that the 2019 has a TU engine

[fathom brook]

I think youre confusing the i6 and v8 engine codes

M550 N63TU2 started in 2019

Atleast based on what these forum people are saying on bimmerpost

[open sigil]

google says b58 is TU since 2020

and then TU2 since 2024

[fathom brook]

Not every bmw model changes the same year as the other models. 2021 540 has the 335hp engine its a regular B58

[open sigil]

i see

i’m losing my hair trying to figure out which charge pipe i need to buy

has to be for the exact engine

[fathom brook]

Call bmw tomorrow theyll tell you. Better to ask them

Or drive up to the dealer

[open sigil]

i’ll give them a call

lotta stuff planned for this car

catted downpipe, upgraded charge pipe, intake, res delete

should give a nice sound while not being obnoxiously loud, i’ll keep the stock muffler

and then down the road send the DME out to get unlocked

[fathom brook]

Thats so weird did they never drop the current 382hp engine in the 540? I thought they did but cant find it

[open sigil]

the 540i has the 335 hp version

m340i gets the 382hp since it’s an M

[fathom brook]

That sucks i guess they didnt want it to eat sales

[open sigil]

but theoretically they can achieve the same power figures

[fathom brook]

Nah i hear the 335 b58 is more tuneable. My friend had the supra and said it became harder with the 380hp engine

[open sigil]

afaik the power differences are just tuning though

[fathom brook]

Oh the 540 was never a m540 i didnt realize i thought it was

[open sigil]

i might not even tune too tbh, with bolt ons probably like 20 extra hp anyways and the sound will be great. cars already plenty fast for me

[open sigil]

yeah it’s never been an m lite

there’s an optional m sport package that’s it

comes with m sport bumpers front and rear, wheels, m sport steering wheel, and stiffer suspension

[fathom brook]

I guess thats why the 840 has the 335 engine cause its not a m840

Can pick up a 840 and 850 for half its price after 1 year

But all the reviews say its so bad. 5 series platform with way more weight

[open sigil]

840 is pointless

just get a m340i or m440i if you want 2 door

probably cheaper or same price for more power

[open sigil]

and 5 series is already a boat 😭

[frosty snow]

Why the M lites 😂

[wise mirage]

@open sigil don’t call BMW

They’ll just void your warranty the moment they find out what you are trying to find your engine code for and they aren’t stupid

They know you are finding it to do mods

Find it yourself don’t call BMW

I also believe the B58TU has the “TU” Flexfuel fuel pump

But do not take my word for it

I do not want to be responsible for you shoving E85 down your cars throat and then being shocked your engine doesn’t like the spice

I have the X3M40i with the 355HP B58 Gen 1

No need for a DME unlock but like I’d tune it anyway

[frosty snow]

My friend runs e85 on his supra

But yea u can find the engine code etc yourself

That’s what forums are for

[fathom brook]

Run race fuel 100 octane

[open sigil]

that’s why i go to this shop for tints

battery tender hooked on the car even put a towel under the cable

This?

[frosty snow]

I would not recommend putting that on your car. if you have ceramic tints that’s already more than enough

Just do 20% or below tints

Sending this video again, 5% for reference

[fathom brook]

Lol why she covering her face like that 😂😂😂

Drug dealer tint definitely lowers the cars price

[open sigil]

i may have gone overboard

[fathom brook]

as well as disabling the idrive warning at start

Anyone heard of Carbon SunTek?

[open sigil]

suntek is good but i’d get ceramic instead of carbon

[frosty snow]

yea but ceramic has betting heat rejecting

[frosty snow]

50? the rears you can do as dark as you want too, keep in mind that tint stacks, even at 50% on the front and 20% all around it has the mirror look from afar

you can look at the S classes if you want that chameleon style tint

[open sigil]

looks like a. cop magnet lol

[fluid yoke]

By law 75% at front and sides 70%. Rear doors and boot whatever I want I can do

[open sigil]

i don’t know about where you’re from, but the law isn’t really enforced here

[fluid yoke]

Uk

Don't know how it's here with sticking to laws as shops say it's illegal to do 20% front, for example, don't think they would want to risk it

[open sigil]

do a lot of people have illegal tint there

shops will do it they just make you sign a form acknowledging it’s illegal and it was your choice

[fluid yoke]

I'll look into it

Ah ping I was looking to mention you

Pingu

[gentle osprey]

Shops wont do it. Well ones I know of won't as the wavier is not binding in the eyes of the law

[open sigil]

guess it’s a lot stricter over there

[gentle osprey]

Bulk of the cars with heavy tints are either DIY or from abroad where laws are different

[fluid yoke]

But how enforced are laws in the UK?

[open sigil]

you can still get 70 percent film which is transparent but still has all the heat blocking properties

[gentle osprey]

Very, so if you are stopped and the tints are not legal you get points and a fine, then the chose to remove them there and then. Or the vehicle is seized as its not road legal

[fluid yoke]

Uk generally does not get much heat. A month or month and a half ago I was wearing a semi thick coat so heat rejection in tints not that important?

[open sigil]

doesn’t really sound like you need it then

here in california it’s a must

[gentle osprey]

True, he factory tints on my van are slightly green and are supposed to reduce heat

[fluid yoke]

Mine are blue ish

[gentle osprey]

Also numberplates the police are super hot on. I got a warning as my fronts fading

[open sigil]

here in california a large majority have illegal tints, so it would be a pain for everyone to get ticketed. most cops probably 90 percent don’t care about your illegal tints unless you do something else to catch their attention like speeding

then you will get a ticket for tint along with whatever else you did

[fluid yoke]

Also here they put fake signs of speed cameras and I have done way over the limit and no ticket. Probably some do actually believe there is cameras

[gentle osprey]

So, the camera signs are all legit, just because the camera is not there at the time. doesn't mean a mobile van cant rock up an start work

[neat isle]

That’s nice. I might need that.

[frosty snow]

same

[frosty snow]

50% they cant even tell unless they have a tint reader fyi xd

[shrewd topaz]

Andrew Schulz looking ass

[frosty snow]

the G wagons have too, polarized, comes factory

[frosty snow]

damn, if only police enforce that here

we have ppl with faded plates, or peeling, for intentional purposes when they go through speed cameras or red lights

[pliant agate]

Wow, that's....interesting. 🤣

[frosty snow]

Just a sample of some of the obscured ones

The flapping gets me every time 😂

Some cars intentionally keep it dirty

[tough torrent]

In my area they keep the plate dirty to bypass the speed cameras 😂

[fluid yoke]

In a place where its just empty land with no poles. No spot for a van to hide

[gentle osprey]

They can't hide by law

[frosty snow]

toronto police here hide behind trees, and bus stops

realistically with dp, charge pipe, intake, and stage 2 prob around 450hp

How much was it stock?

For that money and mods your doing +115 hp is too little of an improvement

[open sigil]

i can always push that further

stage 2 91 octane is just lowest i’d do

power and sound

[fathom brook]

dont tune a 540 its not worth it, its a boat

one guy at the gym offered to sell me his 2014 E550 sedan because i asked him for it as its a unicorn in mercedes cars. its the final year non AMG V8 for the E class but he tuned the car and im like nah i dont want it anymore

you just wont get your money back for that investment

[pliant agate]

Gonna clean the headlights.

[frosty snow]

Yea I wish they made AMG for 2 door

Instead of just 550

So I had to settle for the E53

Cause 550 had a coupe

[fathom brook]

My problem with the E550 coupe and vert was it is a C class platform they just badged as an E and reviews of it were bad

You just gotta jump to a S class coupe

[pliant agate]

After. We need to let it dry.

Headroom diff

[frosty snow]

Reminds me of the Eq lineup for Benz

Light everywhere

Even on all the seat backrests

[hybrid marlin]

To those who drive manual do you guys leave your car in gear when parked?

[open sigil]

if i ever hit a curb with cams like this it would be an actual skill issue

also problem with my windshield tint - the car thinks it’s darker outside so it’s dimming my displays

but should be an easy fix with bimmercode

[proud tulip]

skill issue

[frosty snow]

you hsould be able to manual override

they have an ambient inside but also manually adjustable

[open sigil]

it only allows adjustment at night for some odd reason

[frosty snow]

on thats interesting

no knob on ur dash? or near the front of the car anywhere?

[open sigil]

there is but doesn’t allow daytime adjustment

[dim goblet]

Wheel scratching killcam from multiple angles

[open sigil]

i think it would be impossible to curb these tired

the sidewall is so thick

[proud tulip]

Never say never

Anything is possible :P

[frosty snow]

[proud tulip]

Never cared for soft tops

[frosty snow]
