So a while back when I purchased my warranty from Jennifer, I asked her if my original $1800 price was bad. She replied that no, it was a good price but the deal she is giving us is better than even she can get for a warranty. I asked her why. She explained the owner was giving the forum this...

Someone brought to my attention that Apple started throttling wireless charging in the newest version of iOS. Not sure if it’s due to impact on the hardware or if it’s anticompetitive as some allege...

Yeah, BMW says to drive “immediately” also. Somewhat unrelated but I understand you brought it up to illustrate that perhaps not all the guidance in the manuals is based on what’s best for the car and may not need to be heeded.

I always follow the manual. Germans expect people to follow instructions and they’re usually there for a reason. Remember it’s a German motor. BMW was very vocal a while back saying it was important not to change the oil too soon. The first change is actually longer. Something about wearing in...

I noticed it on mine

They called today, still waiting on the ECU. Told me they have the car on a lift to keep anything from happening to it. Nice of them. Likely won’t have it until next week. Hopefully not much longer.

Some guy in UK who has a YouTube channel took delivery of his and drove to (and on) the Nurburgring). I think he goes by Shmee150 if you want to watch.

Service tech called. They know what happened. The headlight shorted out which blew out a ballast which blew out the “body ECU” which controls all the body lighting/electrical etc... They’re waiting on parts and are trying to get help from Toyota but they have no idea when. Additional update -...

I’d suggest reading the manual or you will be draining your battery. Do one of two things: Engage the parking brake after the engine is shut off Or Hold down the power button on the volume knob before you exit the vehicle I have also noticed that sometimes the auto stop will engage when...

Not really. It appears they’re gearing up to replace stuff until it works. Throwing spaghetti at the wall so to speak.

I just got 4 automated emails referencing special order parts being procured for my car: 1 x COMPUTER, LIGHT CONT 1 x UNIT, HEADLAMP W/GAS 2 x COMPUTER ASSY, MULTI

My desk charger doesn’t heat the phone anywhere near as much.

Car went in this morning. Was out of town last week so couldn’t get it in until today. They did give me a free rental so false alarm with the earlier comment. So far they’re stumped but we’ll see how it goes. I had to go into the work area to get my toll pass, it looked like they had removed...

This pic of mine capture the satiny look this paint has in certain lighting.

My X gets really hot in the car charger. It has a clear Tech21 case on it. Not sure if the case is the issue or if the alignment isn’t quite right and they put charge coils in a big area in order to make phone position more forgiving. Either way, the heat makes the phone slow down like crazy...

I got bored. They have the Supra in their model selector.

No. Arlington. I have an office in Herndon and Ashburn though. Easy enough to meet up.

There’s a sticker on the roof by the button saying that all the telemetry is being recorded and sent to BMW. Don’t know the full extent of what they send.

Short wheelbase cars are amazing in snow so provided you can get enough traction it should be decent.

Almost always sport.
