Interesting. I haven’t seen it but wouldn’t be surprised.

Good point.

Yep. What I mentioned is barely even the tip of the iceberg. There's a lot more to it. But the bottom line is very much in line with your last sentence. You just have to wade through an inordinate amount of "data" to get there.

Last M3 with hydraulic power steering and a naturally aspirated engine, likely ever. Arguable whether it's the best powertrain, but it's definitely the best steering, and that doesn't matter, I don't know what does. Completely agree it's worth preserving. I'm assuming you mean the BE Bearings...

Only because I changed it not long before it needed a fourth 😬

With the original bearings, yes. There have been false negatives, but the false positive rate is negligible AFAICT. Starting sometime in 2010 (I forget when), BMW started phasing in lead-free bearings in the S65. To make a long, complicated, and contentious story short, the updated bearings...

Previous UOA here. 160529 miles on the engine at the time of this sample. For about three months right at the beginning of the OCI, the car ran only a few times, only for moments at a time, and only to move in and out of a garage, occasionally without its O2 sensors. Also, I discovered a...

Turns out nope. Bought this to replace it: https://www.trendnet.com/products/gigabit-switch/8-port-gigabit-desktop-switch-TEG-S83 NDAA & TAA compliant, to atone for my sins 😬

Appreciate the extended discussion – not least because I recently discovered a TP-Link device in this network, for which I might have a Cisco replacement kicking around and able to be swapped in... 😬

Sincere thanks, everyone, for the feedback. Ended up getting a UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra and a U6+ WAP. Haven't done much with them yet; just enough setup to get going. You can really tell this stuff was made by Apple alumni. The hardware and software all feels well made and well...

Thanks, folks. Based on what I'm reading and hearing so far, definitely gravitating toward the UniFi stuff. I'm not an expert but I know more than the average person and I'll happily learn more if necessary for the right product. Isn't Ubiquiti basically Apple Wi-Fi alumni in their own company?

I want the Wi-Fi router equivalent of a Toyota Hilux. Something I can set up once and never have to touch it again for like 10 years – no mysterious Wi-Fi drops, no needing to reboot it, etc. – even if it's subject to more than normal heat, dust, etc. Happy to consider commercial/industrial...

Halogens have a bit less glare and cause a bit less eye strain, at a slight expense to raw illumination. I ended up preferring that balance.

Different category. The DWS 06 Plus is much more performance-oriented than these.

Ah, okay. Got it. Makes sense, then.

Have you tried the Michelin Pilot Alpin series? I was a hair's breadth from doing as you described with our M3, for similar reasons, and the Pilot Alpin PA5 kept me in the winter tire camp.

That statement was referring to the 2Stroke 4.0, which just came out. I’m selling these because I went back to halogen.

Used, working perfectly as of when they were pulled. Fit H11, H9, and H8 applications. Until a few weeks ago, these were the most advanced, best performing LED replacement bulbs on the market. Not just high output, but better than even other high-end LED bulbs at replicating the correct beam...

Follow-up to this as the edit window has closed. The Cal-Van 66 has 8 settings for different brake fluids: generic settings for DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1, plus individual settings for 5 specific DOT 3 fluids. I tried all the settings in the unused SRF and they all showed 0%. Only used the...

With respect.... The main question was whether there were risks to opened brake fluid other than moisture lowering the boiling point. @ctechbob answered that. No one else even tried. The unsealed-but-capped bottle of unused Castrol SRF I have right now was opened ~7 months ago. I just stuck...
