I personally think Tudor in 2026 is giving Omega a serious run for it’s money, A Black Bay One is in the 4-5k range (Without Diamonds and depending on MM Size) but a 36mm Blue Dial is $4,725 where an Omega SeaMaster Aqua Terra is 7k+ NEW. I personally think at 7 it’s a bit much, But in the 4-5k range on Chrono24.. It’s a better buy. Is Tudor now “better” than Omega? ]]> Watches Danyal.N55 https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2252597 Looking for DIY / Self-Serve Car Wash in Greater Boston (Foam Cannon Friendly) https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2252592&goto=newpost Sun, 16 Aug 2026 01:04:24 GMT Hi all,
I live in Boston and need a good self-serve car wash spot for a proper hand wash.
Main things I'm looking for:
Foam cannon friendly: Quick-disconnect wand or okay with bringing my own soap/foam cannon setup (want to avoid the shared scratchy brushes).
Anywhere within a 45 min drive of Boston. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I sat inside it and now it's ruined my car ownership BMW predilection.

These things I cannot find in any BMW my country is able to sell me.
  • amazing sound system (Bowers and Wilkins atmos!) - only have HK and it's not good. (My G30 has B&W and yeah even that is worlds apart)
  • 3 adults across the middle row - X7 can't do that even (i have full sized 3 teenagers with ice hockey gear!)
  • round steering wheel that is not thick as a tree - i'm a simple man!
I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Meanwhile I'm gonna live off my M550i and I am desperately trying to find something stop me getting into the EX90 ... maybe need to focus on how bad touch screens are without physical buttons ... that's it! Just get a F90 Comp!

So far I've looked at the X3, iX3, X7, X5 M60i - the most relaxing was the iX3 !

Be warned, if you like sound systems and round things do not get into a EX90!

Because I got into one in April and it's ruined me... ]]> General Automotive (non-BMW) Talk + Photos/Videos G30M https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2252498 White spots hard to remove https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2252479&goto=newpost Fri, 14 Aug 2026 23:35:56 GMT Any ideas what these white spots would be from on my dash?

I have the Sensafin vinyl seats not leather. I have been using Dr Beasley’s to clean and condition the soft and hard vinyl areas. At first when I detail it looks good but within a day or 2 the white spots come back.

I already asked Dr Beasley’s about it and they said it would not be from the product.

I would like to hear any recommendations for how to remove the spots and favorite conditioners for this type of interior.

Sadair's Spear | Koenigsegg https://share.google/oAtLkBHCs7SmYTlOE



Quote:
The Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear is a street-legal, highly track-focused evolutionary successor to the Jesko platform. The unique name pays tribute to founder Christian von Koenigsegg’s father, Jesko, whose final racing horse in 1976 was named Sadair's Spear.Powertrain & Extreme PerformanceThe Engine: Powered by an evolution of Koenigsegg’s flat-plane 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8.Horsepower: Generates 1,300 hp on standard pump gas and spikes to a staggering 1,625 hp when running on E85 biofuel.Transmission: Backed by the revolutionary 9-speed Light Speed Transmission (LST).Track Superiority: During shakedown testing at Sweden's Gotland Ring, it shattered the existing lap record by being 1.1 seconds faster than the Jesko Attack.Aggressive Aerodynamics & Weight ReductionsMassive Wing: Outfitted with Koenigsegg’s largest-ever active, top-mounted double-blade rear wing to dramatically increase lower-speed downforce.Advanced Cooling: Modified front hoods, larger canards, and underbody strakes improve powertrain and intercooler cooling efficiency by 30%.Weight Shaving: Engineers stripped 77 lbs (35 kg) out of the car by removing heavy sound insulation and using ultra-lightweight mechanical and interior parts.Turbine Wheels: Rides on bespoke "Air Core" carbon fiber wheels featuring a turbine profile that aggressively sucks hot air away from the brakes while adding downforce.Extreme RarityProduction of the Sadair's Spear is strictly capped at only 30 units worldwide—and every single one was instantly sold out during its private preview.(Note: If you were instead referring to a brand-new August 2026 release, Koenigsegg also just unveiled the 1,600-hp Koenigsegg CCGT1 at Monterey Car Week, which honors their historic Le Mans GT1 racing heritage).

WOW.... 😳🔥

The Revuelto SV still uses a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 combined with three electric motors and an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, but Lamborghini managed to eke out even more power.
The SV produces 1050 horsepower and 1051 pound-feet of torque, which is 49 more horsepower and seven pound-feet of torque.
That lofty output makes the 2027 Revuelto SV the most powerful production Lamborghini of all time.

However, the registration process has been confusing - the dealer has said that BMW is supposed to send us titling information that we can take to the DMV (or in our case the local licensing agency since DMV doesn't do vehicle registration here), but we haven't received anything for a few weeks now, and when we talked to BMW Financial Services, they made it sound like it was completely up to the dealer to take care of registration. I wanted to know if anyone had experience registering a leased car in WA from out of state, or any other cross-state experience, so I can understand what is supposed to happen? ]]> General BMW News and Cars Discussion cj088 https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2252470 Anyone with children in high school? https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2252461&goto=newpost Fri, 14 Aug 2026 19:19:04 GMT As a college professor, I understand I get more frustrated with my kids' high school than most parents. I've had 4 kids go through this school district, which is "exemplary-rated" - not saying much in TX.

I've had a daughter physically assaulted & was caught on camera yet the boy (much wealthier family than I) received no repercussions.

I've gone back & forth with the Principal because the students don't receive their graded work back, can't see what they missed on exams, teachers don't input grades until the end of the quarter, etc. "They may share their homework or tests with their friends & cheat".

Still three of my children have gone on to college, received very large scholarships, and are doing well in life.

My youngest is a senior this year, and already there are issues. He was supposed to take an honors anatomy & physiology course junior year but his counselor forgot to put it on his schedule. By the time they send out schedules - 1 week before school starts - he realized he didn't have the class. They said it was too late to add it.

He was also supposed to take 2 dual-credit college courses that the counselor "forgot" to enroll him in. The college instructor said he could still add, but his HS said it was past the deadline :mad0260:

Last Spring arrives & he meets with his counselor to select his senior classes & makes sure to have the A&P class on his schedule. Well guess what, received his schedule last week & no A&P class.

He fills out the required google form for schedule changes immediately & also emails now his new counselor - no response. School sent out new schedules the morning of the 1st of school with any changes - still no A&P course.

He went to see his counselor in-person & got turned away, "they aren't taking appointments". Filled out another schedule change request form - no response. I emailed the counselor - no response. He emailed the teacher of the A&P class, no response.

I have over 300 students in my classes each semester & respond to student emails within 24 hours (most times much sooner than that). That's on top of my department meetings, teaching classes all day, labs, working with my TAs, grading, etc.

I try not to be "that parent" but this crap frustrates the hell out of me. I know they are not that busy that they can't respond to students, especially when it impacts their next steps.

My son is applying to very competitive colleges & the A&P class is important for his intended major.

I will be ecstatic when I no longer have to deal with this school. ]]> Off-Topic Discussions Board JABCAT https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2252461 Aston Martin Valen https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2252453&goto=newpost Fri, 14 Aug 2026 18:11:23 GMT WOW 🤩 :bulge: nVIYU4f36aI WOW 🤩 :bulge:
