i laughed cuz i dont know what generation of bmw this was but ppl were complaining of cracking plastic parts breaking down i think as part of the cooling system
this is my logic
so how is that an advantage?
its not buying them 2 times moreHow is buying and changing out new tires 2x as often saving time vs simply rotating?
play. Why would I want to have 2 good tires and 2 shot tires? Car will handle like ****. And by buying 2 only, you are just delaying the inevitable of 2 more later. It's not saving you any money.
You’re a 911 guy so you would know better than most…. How’s the steering? That’s all I hear about is how amazing the steer by wire is in the CT. Can you compare the two?Say what you want but I love this thing
its not buying them 2 times more
i can't believe yall don't get what im saying
They look so much better wrapped
Can vary a lot from platform to platform
i respect that about your dadYou must have missed where I said it doesn't apply to vehicles that use staggered sizes or unidirectional, because I did state that. Yes, you can go side to side. But rotating on a car that uses 4 of the same sizes (my Mustang uses 235/50ZR18s all around) is the right ol
Don't take this the wrong way & no disrespect, but I'll listen to my dad, who can fix basically any vehicle from 1900 to the early 2000s (need software for the new stuff) over anyone else. I watched the guy literally rebuild a Model T from pieces he found in someone's garage and also built a "backwards" parade car, just by messing around and seeing one on Motor week when I was maybe 12, over anyone else. He's the smartest man I know and can fix ANYTHING!!
He's a interesting story why, to me, my dad knows his ****! Some guy bought a BEAUTIFUL antique Chrysler T&C from the Hershey auction back in September of 2003. I believe it was a '49, but can't remember as that was he time I was going through liver failure and was put on the organ donor waiting list. Car presented well but wasn't running right. Someone at the Hershey auction told the seller to call my dad. He said he'd look at it. It was shipped down (we are about an hour and a half away...75 miles) and he was checking it out.
Turned out to be nothing crazy and easy fix (for him and he called the new owner and said it could be picked up). Now by the time he was done with it I had gotten the call that a donor liver was available and I was at the top of the list. By the time I got out of the hospital (about 2 weeks IIRC, as my mind was elsewhere). I asked him if the T&C was picked up. He said no yet but a fully enclosed carrier was coming. Horseless Carriage!
He got the call on a Saturday I believe a week after I got him. I asked to go with him. He didn't want me to, as I had about 90 staples that closed my abdominal wall and upper torso. I insisted. When we get there, he told me to wait in the car (pickup was down the road at a church that had a large open parking lot). He came back and said "You gotta see what's inside.Two Ferraris and an older Maserati". Fun morning, even if I couldn't move very well. But some guy who didn't know my dad who paid a lot for this car at the time trusted him enough to send it to fix. Yeah, my dad is INCREDIBLE!
i rather buy 2 at a time tbhIf you’re buying 2 tires at a time and I’m buying 4 tires at a time you're buying tires twice as often
Researching prices twice, placing two orders, making two appointments to get mounted and balanced, etc
vs 10 mins to rotate tires 6-10x over their useful lives and doing all of the above once
Pure time perspective it's a wash at best and maybe saves time TO rotate
100%Idk... while I agree to a certain extent BMW has put out a lot of flat out unreliable stuff over the years
But yeah, more generally people don't know how to maintain vehicles and a BMW won't hide mistakes as well a Toyota
Also think a lot of times reliability gets conflated with repairs costs. More expensive parts and labor doesn't necessarily mean less reliable
The steer by wire is amazing. Definitely takes some getting used to. Initially you want to try and take big wide turns but you really don’t need to with it. The turning radius is surprisingly tight in a good way. You can make a full right turn barely turning the wheel. The handling is not that great. It’s still a massive car and you feel every bit of the 3+tons when you’re driving. It’s nothing compared to the 911. The 992 is much more responsive and you know exactly what it’s gonna do every time. But overall the cybertruck is a very easy car to drive. Just don’t expect to be a great track car or on backroads. But getting from point a to b is a breeze I almost forget I’m driving.
modern cars lowkey stand up to a ton of abuse, i did recently go 10k HARD miles no oil change
on an audi of all cars
