Hey! Looking for a spot for a late lunch/early dinner before a flight out on my day trip to Denver.
First time there, unsure if there’s one thing I need to try.
Seen people talk about Sam’s #3 as a one stop shop or a Mexican spot.
Let me know a dish and a spot!
I was scrolling through the settings on my 2020 X3 M40i (iDrive 7) and noticed the “Engine Sound” option.
It’s currently on “Depending on driving mode.” Curious what actually changes mechanically if I set it to “Sporty” full time. Is it purely ASD through the speakers, or does it also affect the exhaust valve behavior?
Anyone know for sure?
X3 M40i, mid-50s on the odo. My shop uses Motul X-CESS 5W-40 rather than the factory 0W-30. It’s LL-01 approved so not off-spec, just heavier than BMW calls for.
Driven with some enthusiasm but not tracked, not tuned. Mild climate. Priority is engine longevity.
Anyone running 5W-40 in a B58 long term? Thoughts?
Curious whether the extra film strength at temp is actually worth it on a street car, and what interval you’re doing.
Worth asking them to use an oil they don’t carry?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to help my brother make a decision and would love some outside perspective.
**The situation:** He's a transfer student, CA resident. He got accepted to NYU Tisch Cinema Studies (pretty excited about that one, obviously), but he already accepted UCSB Film & Media Studies and secured housing there.
**What he actually does:** He's got a Twitter page with 4-5k followers where he reacts to and analyzes film/media stuff constantly. Watches shows and movies all day. He's really opinionated and good at breaking down why something works or doesn't work. He's mentioned potentially getting into sales/marketing because he likes having a platform and being persuasive about media.
**The money part:**
- NYU Tisch: ~$91k/year ($182k for 2 years). He's a transfer student so he doesn't qualify for their need-based aid promise. That's... a lot.
- UCSB: ~$17k/year tuition/fees, housing already secured (~$90k total for 2 years). As a CA resident, this is way more manageable.
**Why he might want NYU:** It's ranked #1 for film schools, the prestige, NYC is the cultural hub, connections are unmatched.
**Why UCSB might make more sense:** He's interested in analysis/criticism, not production. LA has all the streaming platforms and marketing jobs. He could graduate debt-free and actually pursue unpaid internships that build his brand. His Twitter presence is already his best credential.
**The question:** Is the NYU prestige worth $182k in debt for a transfer student who's more interested in the critical/analytical side of film and the marketing angle? Or does UCSB make more sense for where he actually wants to go career-wise?
Would love to hear what people think, especially if you've been through this decision or work in film/media/entertainment.
If you could have a protein bar with 28g of protein, 280 calories, and truly clean and recognizable ingredients, would you buy it for $3.99?
Think good taste, smooth texture with little to no chalkiness. Trying to imagine the perfect protein bar.
