I was referring to the Amazon basics oil, which meets dexos1 standards, but not dexos2 or dexosR.

Geez, I hope you are joking! That oil doesn't meet the standard required for our cars' engines. There's a reason that it's so much cheaper, and it's not just marketing & profit.

Awesome price, thanks for the heads-up! I just looked online, and it seems that the actual market price of the Mobil 1 ESP/Supercar today is $11.49/qt. Ouch.

You have a bad attitude and obviously don't trust anyone. And I agree with you 100%. ;) Some of the posts above are confusing; we must use the DexosR formula, right? What I'm not clear on, is if that ESP variation conforms to that standard. Apparently the Supercar version does. A quick...

I've not been in the CT4 market, but from everything I've read and seen, that's a pretty strong deal for a new 6-speed, especially a 2024.

I'm not a fan of PPF for many reasons that we won't get into here, but I have had it on two cars (installed before I bought them) and I gotta say, in certain circumstances, it can really save your bacon. Glad it worked out for you, dribs. As an aside, let me state that people who key other...

I had to look that up (misophonia). I suffer from it as well, although my manifestation is that sometimes when people talk, it makes me crazy and I just want to smack them. I may be stretching the definition a bit though... ;) I mention this because your post struck a chord with me - I just...

Hey Buddy! Where the heck were you two months ago? Check your spelling; it's always a good idea to proof-read your ads.

The iDrive system crashed repeatedly (like every 3 minutes) when using navigation. Replacement of that (3 attempts) caused USB port to not work. Then steering issues (2 attempts, one visit with regional BMW engineer) resulted in new steering rack, loose lug bolts, disconnected "performance"...

I've used attorneys to handle all of my tickets. Here in NC, you end up paying court costs and typically the attorney wraps it all up in one fee (around $350 IIRC) so it's not even worth my time to take off from work, drive downtown (or worse yet, out of town) and pay to park, deal with the...

OP, I'm happy to see that it all worked out for you (eventually) and that you are happy, and that you did get another BW. Reading this saga reminds me of my M2. It made something like 6 or 8 trips to the dealer, either for repeated attempts to fix a problem, or to fix stuff that was broken by...

I had an OG M2, and it was cute/boy-racer on the outside and the interior was OK, but my God did it beat the crap out of me on the road. And miserable understeer on the track. And the road noise was atrocious. Did I mention that the ride quality was crap? I drove an M440i at one of those BMW...

I wouldn't expect a puddle of water to bend a wheel, but who knows these days. Any decent tire shop will put your wheel on their balancing machine for you and measure run-out. I think it's run-out. Wobble. You know, if it's bent. Lots of places (may require shipping depending on where you...

I knew about the first part, but am now glad to have learned that I no longer have to worry about filling up while it's being dropped. Thanks. My Costco is relatively new (5 years?) and as much volume as they do, they probably get a tanker every day or two, so it's always fresh. Kind of like...

I go to Costco because they are a top tier gas supplier and much cheaper, and the only Shell station near me is similarly incompetently managed. However, the downside of Costco is that the stupid, arrogant, annoying people who go there annoy the crap out of me... don't get me started! I try...

Resurrecting an old thread. Part of my daily drive is on a concrete highway, and it's loud. It's the tires, they are high performance and that's one of the trade-offs. Of course, it's also the reduced sound insulation. I had a similar complaint (among others) in my M2, and some forum members...

You and me both, bruh. My first one (2003) was a constant battle to fix the little crap going wrong (it was only a few years old and 18K miles) until it got totalled. The second one (2000) never ran right, and the third one (2003) was high mileage and by then I had lost the desire to deal with...

Hmmm. I've owned a few BMWs that were literally problem-free. A few, like 2 (out of 15). Thinking back, it could actually have been 3, and those were the most recent ones. Pretty solid. This is overlooking the "they all do that" issues that are just part of the design. I had a Mercedes E...

I remember one of my BMWs (I think it was an E46) had a buzz coming out of the headliner. Rather than deal with the dealer, I pulled it down, stuffed a paper towel in there, and voila! Problem solved, no toothpicks required. I had a similar issue on an Audi S5 (the cool one with the V8) in...

You can thank Covid. Remember, not too long ago, people were paying thousands of dollars over MSRP for a Kia? I mean, if that ain't crazy, I don't know what is.
