Apart from that.

Also, my next DD is going to have auto dimming mirrors, fuck people who use their brights on the interstate.

Your e92 doesn’t have an auto dimming mirror?

In an M3, I assumed that was basically a dash-mounted dome light, part of the normal illumination.

Also surprised by this.

That’s not the M3 though. Hopefully that means the fix will be cheaper.

My guess is thermostat or water pump.

That’s the 3.

The M3 goes: money, lol.

FWIW, I *hated* the auto dimming OSRV mirrors on my wife’s X3 - they were always too damn dark at night.

To the point where, if my next car is a BMW with those things, I will swap them out for plain mirrors.

Auto dimming are overrated. Invest in rear foglights or even a rear-mounted LED bar!

It does not. M3 does, but then again it’s got 10k in options on it.

My brakes started squeaking...they are almost 7 years old, so likely time for new ones.

Nah, they don’t tell you when those break. Source: thermostat when bad in the M3 and I had no idea.

Its just telling you that you need to have a professional make sure the engine is still there.

The rears on mine got replaced at 15k miles.

Dimming side mirrors would be awesome. My rear-view automatically dims, which I admit is quite nice!

The ones on my M3 are pretty fantastic.

Oh, sorry. They all look alike. ;)

They are. I believe even my dads Buick had an auto dimming drivers side mirror.

Yes, get another M3. Wait, you said cheaper.

Woah...I am rapidly approaching 70k. But I am currently looking at Porche Macan GTS...I feel like I am cheating

I see you have the oil temp gauge and not the fuel economy gauge. Lucky.

I believe all e92s came with the temperature gauge. Could be worse could have nothing there like my 128i.

I kind of assumed that stuff had become standard equipment.

I don’t think so, unless it’s changed recently.

Hmm, wonder if they’re different or just different preferences.

WilliamsSW > Chariotoflove 02/02/2018 at 11:44

I’m sure he will get another one eventually. There’s a pattern there...

Why are you photographing your gauges at over 80 miles per hour?

His Stigness > E90M3 02/02/2018 at 11:49

A lot of times I found thermostat codes before the customer fucked up the car. And if you’re lucky the thermostat will break the right way and stay stuck closed.

But the water pump code doesn’t help much because it just stops working.

Nothing would be better than a needle point ping to the 30-12mpg you’re getting.

NO! That just means they are good.

Sigh....no...

I go with the tried and true method of wrenching and engineering going, “Its never done that before...I better check...”

And yet you encourage us all to look at BMW’s?

It’s a sensor problem, it only seems to happen when the car is really cold. It’s gone back off.

I put 2000 miles on an explorer running on 5 cylinders. Sometimes you just gotta limp along. I don’t think anything is actually wrong.

The weirdest part of that story is that it was a 4-cylinder Explorer....

2015. I’m probably a little picky about seeing things - I would rather be blinded occasionally than feel like I might miss something in the dark

Amen on the rear fog lights.

Well, if you know better than German engineers, I guess you better do some wrenching, lol. I was surprised when they never mentioned during that video that they also do it when worn out, but I’m not as smart as Porsche.

6 years of no squeaking = Great
Sudden Squeaking = Worrying

I think that is correct German Math :)
