Non ethanol or top tier?

I just found out that gas from certain gas stations is labeled as “top tier“ because it’s better than what they sell at other places because it has certain extra things in it. I’ve been getting premium non ethanol for my 1997 2.8L z3. I see some people saying to get the top tier gas because it’s better for your car, but I also see some people saying to get non ethanol. i don’t have gas stations near me that sells “non ethanol premium top tier” so I was wondering which one I should choose. I only ever have had a beater car that I just threw 87 gas from random gas stations into. I had no idea there was a such thing as top tier gas until today. Whenever I got my z3 I would just go to Walmart and get non ethanol premium since they’re the only gas station nearby that had non ethanol premium. Could someone let me know what gas you use for your z3 and what I should be using? It may be a stupid question but I’m getting mixed answers everywhere. It looks like there’s upsides to both but I can’t have both at the same time

Any cheap car covers?

Does anyone know of a cheaper car cover tarp thing I could use for my z3? I have a soft top and just don’t want it getting messed up. I drive my z3 almost everyday so I didn’t want to get a normal car cover since it would be annoying to take off and put on constantly. I was thinking about seeing if there some sort of tarp I could throw on there instead. If anyone has a car cover, could you guys let me know what you use? Also, if it wasn’t clear, I’m looking for a cheaper one. Most of the ones I can find are like $100+

Halo (angel eyes) lights suggestions

Hey guys, I was interested in getting these halo lights. I like the blacked out ones more, but I wanted help with something.

which ones would look better with the color of my car? I have a picture of my car front the front posted to give an example. I want to get the black ones but I dont know if they would look good or not. Please let me know if you think which headlights (in pictures 2 and 3) you think would look better with it. Thanks!

Rough idle at start

I have a 1997 z3. It has 69k miles on it and is in good condition. When I turn it on, it sounds a little rough for about 30 seconds and then the sound dies down and it sounds normal. It drives really well, there doesn't seem to be any issues. Two things to note in this video before you watch it.

  1. The static sound towards the start is my radio because I forgot to turn it off.

  2. The tapping noise throughout the video is because it's sprinkling outside, it's not from my car

I'm not too concerned about it since it drives well, however I know that it shouldn't be sounding like this. I thought it sounded like it could be some sort of issue with a belt. In case you have it on low volume, the worst of it starts around 0:10. If anyone knows what's going on and can help, I would appreciate it.

Is it normal for food to move through me this quickly?

I’ve had bad digestive issues for years and finally got checked out about a year ago. i got a colonoscopy but they didn’t see anything wrong with my colon. My doctor believes I have IBS-C but I think it’s more IBS-M. I sometimes have foods (mainly fruits or vegetable) that I can visibly see in my stools when I poop. Today I had a salad/scramble bowl thing which had broccoli and these little clover leaf looking things. I ate at about 2:00pm and around 4:30pm I had to poop really badly and couldn’t hold it in. I had bad diarrhea. I looked in the toilet and I very visibly saw the green vegetables that I had in the salad, in my stools. Somehow two and a half hours after I ate, that food had already moved through my digestive system and needed to leave. I’ve searched some stuff up and everything is saying that shouldn’t be possible. I have not had any green vegetables within the past few days, I know for a fact that what I saw was the completely undigested vegetables I had from lunch. Having diarrhea multiple times a day is normal for me, but I’m wondering how it’s moving through me so quickly

Is a slow 0-60 my fault?

I have a 1997 BMW Z3 roadster and it’s a manual. I learned how to drive a manual about a month ago and I’ve kinda gotten the hang of it. I don’t feel like me shifting through the gears is fast, but I don’t think Im that slow. I got an app that tested my 0-60 and the first time I got 17 seconds, the second time I got 16 seconds, and the third time I got 15 seconds. The car drives well and is in great condition. Once I’m in 5th gear that thing takes off, so I was wondering if the slow 0-60 time is mostly my fault. I only did it 3 times but each time, I shifted better and shaved off a second. Like I said, once it’s in 5th gear it takes off and I can easily get up to 100 quickly..it’s just getting up to 60 is slow. It seems to accelerate relatively quickly, so I’m thinking that it’s probably my shifting that is making it take so long

Does fiber from fruit help digest the sugar in honey if you eat them together?

I am aware on how fruit works with the sugar and fiber, and how even though they are natural, honey and maple syrup are considered “empty” calories. I know that if you eat honey by itself that because it’s just straight sugar, that it digests a lot quicker and can spike your blood sugar level. I also know that because of the fiber from the fruit when you eat it that it digests that sugar a lot slower. My question is, is that if you eat them together is the fiber from the fruit that you are digesting also helping digest the sugar from the honey as well?

Account banned

I bought an AOT trading card pack from the store and got a foil card. Found someone selling it on eBay for $20 dollars so I thought I might as well list mine. I made an eBay account, listed it as a bid starting at $8 dollars, and about 30 minutes later my account got permanently banned. Does anyone know why this happene? Is eBay just this stupid?
