The new BMW's aren't that bad reliability wise. They however are very expensive. A 320i optioned like a base TSX is like $40k
The new M235i might be my next car eventually though.

 

I think I saw a blue one of the M235i yesterday.

The new IS's from Lexus are so mean looking also. I saw one which was F sport and it had the exhaust and intake added on I believe. Oh so nice.

 

maintenance is another killer.

100 dollar part for us is like 1500 bux for them.

thus, as long as i'm making chump change, i'll never own a bmw

 

Yeah the new IS with F Sport look pretty badass.

 

Looking to buy some leather cleaning products. Any recommendations. I've already dug around the forum and see Lexol, Leatherique, Leather Masters and Zaino thrown around. I was going to go for Lexol cleaner and conditioner because those are products I can walk in a store and pick up.

 

Yeah I wish I had 40+ grand laying around somewhere.

 

ive always used meguires and thought it was just okay. never left my seats greasy or anything which i liked.
but then...i found a deal on Lexol for like 6 bucks.
I applied the Lexol cleaner to my seats this weekend and all I have to say is Lexol wins over the meguires stuff.
lexol left my seats nice and soft without being greasy or shiny

 

I have a nice one but i forget the name, ill get it later.

 

That sounds so sick.. i want.

 

They really aren't too bad reliability wise nowadays. And you can still find them used at a decent price.. My buddy bought a 528i 2009 for less than what I paid for my car from a used dealer called "spanos" in Daytona, and he has a decent warranty through them.. Car is pretty mint too. I'm just a honda fan boy and can't stand BMW's cuz I think they are over engineered, shit that needs to be kept simple on a car they like to make complicated, but they still build a hell of a car.

Lexol>any other leather cleaner

 

Heard great things about Lexol.

 

+1

 

I had some Meguiars wipes in my garage. POS case it came in didn't seal properly and they dried out. I'm sticking to sprays from now on. Glad you (and Jaheri) like Lexol. It's rather inexpensive for a cleaner. $7 for a liter from Walmart lol

 

If only this dummy wasn't trying to make an exhaust video in a parking lot. The last 5 seconds were the best though lol.

 

I have been drowning everything I eat in ranch for the past few weeks. My work pants are starting to feel a little tight. Coincidence?

 

Swimming pool full of ranch, then you diiivvvveeee in.

 

Isn't this what you wanted? To gain weight.

 

Would rather dive into this...

I'm already fat

Yep. It's working I think. Although last year the same thing happened and I started eating normal amounts of food again and lost the weight in like 2 weeks.

 

 

Watching CP3 play makes me want to eat a Twizzler.

 

Did you see Charles Barkley do an "air bukakke" on inside nba???

 

FFWD TO 3:55

 

Don't worry Ryan.. In a few years, you will be complaining about being too heavy. That weight is hard to come off once you get older... You best believe...

 

lol I wish I had Ryan's problem.
i work hard to stay lean.

 

This is what everyone says to me.

 

i lol'd when you said you eat normally and you lose.
what the fuck is normal to you!? lol

i eat normally and I gain.
i have to create a deficit of calories with either exercise or food intake. or both.

where as you have to eat a surplus of calories.

 

QFT

everyone used to say that to me too. now metabolism is slowing down and i can't lose the weight like i used to. savor your power while you have it. it fades quickly and without warning.

 

I think part of my problem is I also run around and am pretty active every week. Burning a few hundred calories from that almost every day doesn't help my cause.

Eating when you aren't hungry is annoying, and can get expensive (why I've been eating so many potatoes). I'd imagine it to be just as annoying as having to eat less and watch your calories. It's not all rainbows and lollypops trying to gain weight. I've also joined a real gym and started lifting weights again.

 

Water weight maybe?

 

Hahaha. I didn't watch it last night. I usually do, but I knew the Thunder would win so I turned it off at the beginning of the 4th.

This was a few weeks ago also.

 

 

Lmao thank you roger. You are the gif king!!

 

Haha. I saw it on another forum, thought might as well. Too good not to post!

 

Carbon fiber swag.


Just gotta do 3 more lol.

 

Very true. But if you buy new or cpo you get free maintenance for a bit. After that and you're outta luck. I don't think the E46/E92 M3's are very bad though comparatively.

 

Got quoted a price of $280 for installation of springs + alignment from that One Stop place.

 

lol that's more than the cost of the springs.

 

CF makes it go faster right? Looks way better than original IMO, but i mainly did it to hide a few scratches.
