Some Strange Issues

2020 Giulia Ti Sport 75k miles. Well maintained by myself and dealer. 2nd owner.

Having an issue where after the car starts it makes another start pulse within a split second of the initial start. I don’t know what to call it, it’s like after the car starts it’s like someone hitting the accelerator pedal slightly.
Sometimes the car idles roughly after start.
I also recently got my tank filled up and right after starting the car I got two alert indicators, Service Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA) and Service Lane Keeping Assist (LKA).
Shortly thereafter, when braking I noticed the RPM’s bouncing below 1k and the car felt like it wanted to stall but it caught itself.

There has been some suspicion that my EVAP canister needs to be replaced. I last had it replaced in 2022. But not sure what the ABSA and LKA has to do with any of this.

Battery recently replaced and is good.

Intel - One person's FOMO story

Feel I need to admit this, if anything just to make myself feel better, so maybe I can then move on.

In November of 2025 I sold my holding's of Intel for $37/share. I got assigned in a covered call trade and at the time I was happy about it. I made a little profit and figure Intel will always be where it was at.

Then things happened.

Then some really big things happened. As of close today it's at $124.

I feel there are lessons to be learned here, just don't know what they are.

Thank you for reading.

▲ 6 r/M340i

Hi. Just so in love the the M340i and hope to get one at some point. I tend to do a ton of research before pulling the trigger on something like this and I came across an interesting "window sticker" tidbit and was wondering if something like this is what you enthusiasts take into consideration when shopping around.

Was checking out specs on a particular 2025 M340i xDrive and noticed the VIN was different than others I have seen with similar specs. After closer inspection, the reasons seem to be due with where some components and final assembly come from. In this case, final assembly was in Germany and the engine and trans were also from Germany, unlike how I have seen where its final assembly is in Mexico and engine from Austria.

So my (sorry for tying so much) actual question is this, is this difference (pure German car) compared to it being part Austrian and Mexico something that is sought after more than the others?

Honestly, if and when I intend to buy I'm not going to care. Was just an observation.
