I've said this way too many times but I wish I never sold my 172 Cup. Owned from new, 125k miles, damn my sensible 5 minutes when I thought a 200 would be better instead of a daily alongside the Cup. Sniff.
Aircon though, I have strong feelings about that, rarer it may be but it's the reason...
What about the gearbox/diff? 50kgs?
What does the exhaust weigh? 30kgs?
Nothing too exciting, just trying to work out how the rolling chassis weights of my i3s and my 172 Cup compare.
1000 kg kerb-weight is what caught my attention...and it has a faint whiff of BMW i3 in the quirky design/material choices.
If they're available when my i3 lease ends, I could see myself having one.
Thanks all for the responses and advice on a video editing laptop.
Trigger just pressed on a 17 inch MSI Pulse with an i9-12900H and RTX 3060 8GB. Looks like I should be able to give it a full 8TB of capacity too. Perfect.
Much as I'd love to, a desktop is not an option...I don't have a permanent base of operations at home so setup wherever I have to for an editing session.
You're the first to mention ti cards...I've seen some with these...what's the deal with them?
A 3050 ti is a better thing than a non-ti...
This probably doesn't qualify for this thread as it's only a laptop but CBA making a bespoke one, so...
Video editing and web browsing. That's all I do.
Will an i9 be that much more noticeably faster/smoother than a latest gen i7? For video editing/writing only, will a NVIDEA GTX3070 be quicker...

Eufy 2K security cameras, £65 each from Amazon.
I have the doorbell and base unit already.
Any reason I shouldn't grab a couple? Should I wait until their other 2K camera is discounted instead?
I'm tempted to chop my 6 in for a 7 Pro...based on the watch freebie and with a some solid value in the 6, a few hundred gets me much needed camera/video improvements.
Update on the charge socket pin thing; this little f***er has been extracted this morning...
However, it was wedged in so firmly that upon extraction it launched itself into the wider unknown, so that pin now has no tip. It still connects to our chargers OK though so normal service has been...
They work fine for me...the longest time I've spent in the driving seat has been an hour though...they lack lumbar adjustment but I've never felt a need for or missed that in any of my cars.
First problem surfaced with this thing today...
Went to connect it to the charger at lunchtime and the cable wouldn't seat properly. I eventually got charging with a colleague's cable bit couldn't fathom why mine wasn't going fully in.
Just took some pictures and spotted this...
The tip of...
Re. the brake lights, yes they do...but I'm not sure at what level of braking regen (and therefore retardation) they're triggered. I think it may also vary in each of the driving modes as the pedal position translation to the motor is way softer.
A video on this will follow...I'll have one on...
A friends lovely E36, recently given a complete suspension/engine/drivetrain refresh following a complete bare shell respray last year :love:
A few beauties at The Kennels :cool:
Then I went to my first ever Porsche meet......... :ROFLMAO:
I don't, I accept all defaults and just let it all run.
i learned long ago that obsessing over quantity, type, frequency, and placement yielded very little change in my earnings per 1000 views, undetectable in fact!
Having said that, with a different content type it may well be more relevant...
That's the best description of it yet!
And the fact that you say that, when it's now a nine year old design and has been discontinued, shows how absurd what BMW did here is.
Hopefully I'll get a chance to film an update video in it this weekend...to showcase the little thing's propensity to...
Yeah I only charge it at work Rob, Monday morning after battering at the weekend, and Friday morning in preparation for that battering.
So far my app is showing that I've fed it 493kWh of juice and that's allowed me to cover 1,877 miles.
What that works out at cost wise I've not yet calculated...
To give you an idea I hit that £1k tax free level with roughly 350k views, and 20k hours of watch time per annum.
So long as you're under that sort of level each year you should have no tax worries.
On the tax thing, you're permitted £1,000 of online earnings per annum before you need to pay any additional tax. Once you hit that level you'll need to declare it on an HMRC self-assessment tax return each year.
Two months and 1,600 miles in now, and this morning's commute was the very first time I've driven this thing in the rain.
F*** me. Sport Mode engaged, traction disabled, little 'drifts' everywhere, what a fun thing!
YE53 ZKW is what gave me my username...that's my car bought new in 2003!!!
Chaps I sold it to in 2011 bought it as a track car with Castle combe being their circuit of choice.
Where was this?
I drove 125k miles in that thing, sniff. I'm so happy it still lives on! Caged an all, nice!
