Which is the better car?
The X5 M or the Macan GTS?
The Macan is nice. There is def a quality jump from BMW to Porsche.

Fuck the low riders, my car was lowered by the previous owner to what most consider the "perfect" height and I'm scraping like a motherfucker anytime there's a dip in the road. I have to watch out when I'm doing some quick transitions if the road isn't perfectly flat since I have to worry about my suspension bottoming out. It sucks and I really need to find the time to put the stock springs on it. I'd say your car height looks perfect as is, if you want to do some suspension upgrades look into some firmer shocks, but don't overdo it or you'll lose some of the character of driving a BMW. Maybe some good Bilsteins.
So the transmission finally failed on my 2014 Pathfinder with 59k miles on it...while I was merging onto the freeway nonetheless. Thankfully got home safely.
Of course I was beyond the 5 years covered by warranty (bought it in late 2013). Thankfully because it’s such a shit car Nissan extended the warranty to 84k miles so the transmission got replaced for free....otherwise would have been more than $5k to fix.
Fuck Nissan
So I have a real vehicle ( pre 90s, pre piece of shit) and a daily driver (2004 Nissan sentra, pre Renault collaboration garbage.) Most times the best option is renting a spot in a nearby garage. This never worked for me,I refuse to drive one vehicle across town to park it and drive the other. So I literally sold my last classic for a classic with stronger bumpers. Swapped 85 Monte Carlo to 84 square body truck. I chain the steering wheel, and please back into it. I don't get a dent and the other car is fuckkked.Does anyone have any creative solutions of where to park a second car if you live in a apt. Don't really want to park on the street and my family members I don't trust. People move in and out of my apt too frequently for me to make a deal to use their space.
How does a transmission with only 60k miles fail

Since you left News & Rumors is just any news, not necessarily Neo Geo related. It was even dropped from the subforum's description. Dark times.

Everyone has a perception that Porsche is “better” but in reality their two doors are second to none, however SUV’s BMW is far superior. Macan GTS previous and newer generations are great cars but BMW’s technology, handling, literally everything is superior. Especially the real M, no competition. Porsche has a little more “cache” I guess but that’s about it. Land Rover
Since the LCA is the last thing you touched before the noise that's the first thing I'd check. One thing that can often go wrong is tightening the bolt while it is in the air, suspension bolts should be tightened with the car on the ground under the full weight. Also it's important that it is torqued to proper spec and not just "good enough." the LCAs on my car get an almost unbelievable amount of torque to tighten them properly.
That said, a "thump thump thump" that gets louder as the car moves faster sounds like a wheel bearing to me, but it would be a huge coincidence for a wheel bearing to go out when the last thing you were messing with was a control arm. I don't think it's a CV joint since those will usually make clicking and popping sounds when they go out.
Well...here's one I didn't think I'd be posting to again this year.
I'm pretty sure I told you all that last April, my 2017 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel blew the motor at 27,xxx miles. Thankfully, it was fully covered and despite being a pain, about 6 or so months later, I got a new engine.
FF to about a month ago and once again, the replacement long block started giving me that same "marbles in a trash can" sound like it did before. This time around 32,xxx miles.
I decided it was enough.
I began shopping around and yesterday I got a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with their current "80th anniversary" package...which is nicely loaded. I didn't want to pay for the 5.7l V8 or its rather shitty MPG, so I got the V6, which has infinitely more pep than the diesel ram ever did.
With my commuting more and using my truck as a "truck" less and less, I decided that a new truck with a chugging V8 wasn't the smartest move. After having a truck since Feb of 2014, I guess that time has passed. Funny enough, now my wife and I both have Jeeps...with hers being a 2020 Cherokee Limited.
You had two motors get you a combined 60k miles and still stayed in the same corporate family for the new car? That's commitment.

Bump for this thread. What have ya’ll been up to?
KYB GR2s (which my stock shocks are based off of) are a fine regular, but not exceptional shock.
