My car is being picked up in LA Monday and shipped here.....should I worry CA people?

mjr24 · 08-19-2023, 11:58 PM

It's coming in enclosed trailer.....but now I'm a bit worried with the hurricane. Is it really supposed to be that bad or is it media overhype?

I'm probably more worried about hail or wind.....

Obviously no disrespect....hopefully you Cali people will be OK.

Honestly most likely just going to be some rain doubt we’ll get hail it’s way too warm. You should ask the dealer to move your car into the showroom or garage that way atleast it will show up somewhat clean.

Hillary is expected to be a Tropical Storm when it hits southern CA. Wind can be an issue, however the larger concerns are flooding and tornadoes. Hail is not common in tropical storms.

From a south Florida resident, best of luck to all in CA, AZ and NV who may experience Hillary.

No, assuming the last year of someone’s lease on 22. Needed something to hold me over until I decide whether to go for the new M5. Want to see the release first…

Hillary was a joke.
I have seen worst tropical rain back in home town where billboards and trees were toppling from its foundations, yet people are still roaming around and party.
Our governor, mayor, and news media blowing it up for no reason but to start a panic.
Anyway, congrats on your M8 OP.
In reality I would worry that it is gone missing than Hillary.

The people of Palm Springs might not agree with you.

Ben, unrelated, have you done a lot of intelligent high beam coding on the 8 series? I thought you said once that you've done them.....but that they still wouldn't be as good as if it was done at the factory due to some settings. I may be remembering wrong.

I had the intelligent beams coded on in my AMG GT a few months ago and they worked pretty well....but I don't know how much that differs from Benz to BMW.

Yes, I have done Anti-Dazzle coding to many laser lights.
But, if you ask me is it as good as the Euro counterpart? I don’t have answer to that since I haven’t seen Euro laser light in person, and side by side to the US laser light to compare the difference.
Until that happens, I would say after coding it will work similar to the European laser light.

I agree. Should’ve clarify that I was talking about LA County.
I know that Hillary will bring hell to Deserts area.
But, those area will have issue regardless of Tropical Storm. Even Monsoon rain will give them hell.

But, but muh global warming!

If only there were more Teslas in CA, all of this could have been avoided.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
