Confess here

[UncleWede]

I want to sabotage my wife's fan.
I bought her one of the bed ones years ago, so she could have her cooling but it not blow on me. She bought another one and put it on her nightstand, to blow in her face. Byproduct is I have to set up a wall of pillows, or sleep upside down to try and avoid the air. I simply can't sleep with someone constantly touching me (air)

….I confess that I cannot fathom why women's hair gets everywhere. It can be found in the oddest places. Trace evidence. No good!

I confess that I just added another 10 TB disk to the upgraded NVR (security camera video recorder) that I finally got around to installing/configuring over the weekend.

I confess that I just checked every heat/smoke/CO detector in our house, and confirmed that each was reporting to both the alarm panel and external alarm company's central station.

I confess that I moved the garden pick from our detached garage to our living room (while I was out there checking the smoke detector), in case I need to fabricate an emergency house exit in a hurry.

I confess that I also just went onto Amazon and ordered three new security cameras, network switches, and direct-bury network cables. None were on sale...and my DW didn't object to the expense. (Heck, she suggested picking up a few trail cameras for backup.)

I also confess that my hands are covered in EEZOX, in case all of the above fail.....

^^ That's a lot of confessing.

I think about that when I'm riding in an Uber/Lyft or someone else's car. I'm like damn they could commit a crime and take one of these hairs and place it at the scene. Luckily, your cell phone pings towers and tracks you everywhere so that would be a helpful alibi. I watch and listen to to many crime shows/podcasts.

It happens. It's not a far-fetched thought by any means.

Only question is why put fake badges on…

I can't get OEM ones! I don't want to wait another 3 months for them. And in Germany you can order a new 330i from the factory with these roundels, BMWNA limits it to the M340i and M3 for some reason.

Not to be a smartass but if you can get OEM ones I will gladly buy them at MSRP off you, I just can't even order them lol

Didn’t know they offered them in 330is!

Yeah lol, you can even order them on a 116i if you get the M package

I got towed to the dealer again this morning. FML! Car started shaking violently and making these loud metal on metal banging noise from the under carriage. It was so loud, it sounded like an car crash. Car went limp. I'm happy it happened where it did. I was literally 2 minutes from merging on to the highway.

As soon as I saw you post in here I just KNEW it was going to be this. I'm sorry you are going through this - at this point, I'd try to lemon it. I just don't see this having a happy ending.

cmyx6go I didn't want to like your post because there is nothing to like about that. Happy you are safe! I agree with this statement above. I know it's not that easy but someone needs to answer for the amount of issues your brand new vehicle is having.

My sales guy is out today. I want to explore them buying it back. I don't care what the issue is, I don't feel safe. I don't want it back. I'm just not sure if this is something done at the dealer level or if I need to go through BMWFS. I'll keep you posted.

If they do not push the conversation up the BMWNA chain, it's time to look into a lemon law attorney. Your X is clearly defective. What you're dealing with is ridiculous.

Man that sucks.....Lately you have no luck with cars
Even the loaner broke down on you.
Hope you get it sorted out soon.

I confess that it may be time for cmyx6go to come on over to the Porsche side.

I vote for a GTS variant of the Cayenne or Macan….


….or YOLO and get a Taycan!

I need a SUV version. Cayenne Turbo Coupe? The GTS would be great but we're getting a bit pricey. Plus all the damn options that have the residual cap.

What's the budget? I'm here to push the P-Car narrative.

I still didn't get the X3 sold yet.

Somehow, me and 48-gabillion others were on the line with BMWFA yesterday because we received a notice our payment was late. F-ME! I electronically transferred to you back on 6/17! Send us a screen shot. But, I need a payoff amount, so I can sell this thing off!!!!!

Pull it online.

Sooo, SA just called. He said that a bolt to the drive shaft got elongated after the previous repair and pretty much broke off. It scratched/damaged the heat panels. They have to replace the Giubo and drop the exhaust to check it out but think it's only cosmetic damage. Parts are due in tomorrow and it should be ready by Friday. I don't know if I care.
