Did I miss the bit where you explain why you need a new bike?

I'm certain there's another XKCD automation strip which is a table of 'how much time saved' 'how often task run' 'how much time automation taken to implement' too.
Edit: There is! And the alt-text really got me.

I’ve spent the last two weeks looking for a suitable replacement while my family wagon was being sorted out. Got it back today and after a slightly extended route home it has earned its reprieve. Better the devil you know and all that. I’ve spent about 25% of its value keeping it on the road over the last few months 😑

You’re gaining a whopping 9hp I think! And (with the 3 series at least) going down a bracket in road tax over the n52. But yeah, injectors are £350 a piece now compared to <£100 pre-covid so you don’t want to be the one left sorting those out. Totally with you on the pre-LCI; all the cues are a bit purer.

The N53 gets a bad rep! Largely just noise, but make sure somebody else has done all the expensive bits first 🙄

On other BMW stuff my 60k mile E91 is having a period of its age catching up with it – after four years of trouble-free driving the injectors, nox sensor, mosfets in the ECU, DPV and a valve gasket have all needed some attention in the last 3 months, and we’ve had two long journeys home on a trailer 🙄 So I’m currently doing all my general stuff in the E86. Also loving life.

I really feel these are about to have their moment. So good for the money and the design has aged really really well (apart from the transmission tunnel cupholder). I saw a gent driving around in an immaculate 650 at the end of the summer, looked like he was loving life.

Yeah, I'm familiar with the layout at this end of things, but my journeying beyond the local hills is non-existent and the only working car I've got right now has two seats so my utility is low.
Is it an aftermarket tint or optioned sun protection glass? Because I’m not sure the latter is removable. I know that people on the zed forum swap out the glass instead. Agree it’s a bit marmite, it’s on both of mine and I’m not sold on it tbh.
