Kinda upset with the current status of my car. So much I want to do, but so many other priorities. On top of that, this car has gotten 3 claims on it since my ownership.

The accident back in September
The hit & run back in December
The hit & run back in July

I haven't claimed my windshield & hood yet since the same rock chipped my hood and windshield.

A lot of stress comes from being a first time homeowner. I learned about bad property tax is. It's the same as my insurance. Home maintenance takes a toll. Trying to do everything right cause I never liked how my dad took forever doing stuff at his house.

Everyone I meet assumes I'm a drug dealer cause of my car & age. Which adds stress, but luckily I've only been pulled over twice in my M3 vs 8 times in a month a half with my old 335i.

Renewed my insurance/tags.
Last year with my 15% discount it was 5,555.65CAD/year for pleasure use

This year it's 4,879.00CAD/Year (20% discount) for pleasure use, but once I get a job, and I take this car to work I'd have to switch my insurance over to work, and cost will depend if work is under 15km or over 15km

If it's under 15km then my insurance is $5,045.00 or so, and over 15km it's $5.3k

And yes, I have 0 at fault accidents, 0 tickets.

Almost coming up to a year of ownership since I got my M3 also, bought the car with 86,900 KM, now it has 122,000 KM

Plans for this year (Sept 2018 to Sept 2019)
- brakes + rotors
- Save up hella money
- Take care of all aesthetic defects
- New rims(want to do an aggressive setup)
- Suspension (????)
- Wrap (????)
- Exterior Aesthetics (????)
- Tune (????)

(???? = depends on how I feel about doing everything)

But I gotta remind myself, I have this car for the long run. I can do everything slowly overtime. I'm an adult now and gotta be responsible.

If you read all this you're an absolute madlad & a legend

Wanted to be unique...it’s growing on me. That’s the beauty of being able to make changes and adding personal touches!! If I miss the other label, can always switch back, but for now...it’s definitely my choice.

Did a diff fluid change. Bought the car used so had no idea when it was changed. The tech started to drain the fluid and it look just like it came out of the bottle. That was a $150 wasted.

I did Gary... price? So seem you guys like us pay big for the insurance. What does the 5k CAD cover mate? Over here it does provide coverage for damages "anything not being wear items" up to a certain age/mileage.

Ty, it was made, I simply ordered the parts from IND, and the S65 emblem was from EBay.

Went to cars & coffee today, saw a nicely sorted M6, not my favorite 'M' model, but this one looked really clean. And yes, I only took a picture of the wheel

Let me introduce you to the fuckfest dumpster fire that is ICBC. In BC we don't have an open insurance market.

I just copied what my dad has for insurance on his car

Comprehensive - $300 deductible
Collision - $300 deductible
Liability - 2mill coverage

A factor that plays into our insurance is that, it's basically government owned. Private market. Just in the past year they stopped insuring cars worth more than 150kCAD, and you'd have to go through another insurance policy like through your house insurance.

Things that play into pricing:

- How long you've had your license
- Tickets
- Accidents
- Where you live in BC

Solo_M_Tech · 08-18-2018, 07:18 PM

installed my stud kit finally and had my bro Ravi from v2 Labs ( look him up on youtube) do a quick photo shoot for his channel! here are a few as she sits now.

E9T.two · 08-18-2018, 07:38 PM

Tinted front windows to match rear

TeamBFT · 08-18-2018, 08:36 PM
