Amazing, heavily optioned 2024 BMW iX xDrive50 (Dark Graphite Metallic over perforated/ventilated Oyster interior)

$2,200 cash incentive to the buyer.

Location: Dallas, TX (Local DFW, Austin, Houston, OKC preferred, but absolutely open to out-of-state if you arrange the shipping logistics).

Amazing luxury electric car. I ordered a new vehicle and do not need two at this time.

July Payment made - This means you get a full month of driving completely free, assuming responsibility for only the final 8 payments on the contract while getting the vehicle for all 9 remaining months.

9 months total remain, can easily be extended 2 to 6 months with BMW giving you 11 to 15 months with a great car.
Residual ~50,500

Incentive options

You can choose how to apply the $2,200 incentive based on your driving needs:

Option 1: Low Payment

• Effective monthly payment: $455 (Base contract is $787.37)
• The Math: (8 payments × $787.37 = $6,298.96 contract cost) − $2,200 cash incentive = $4,098.96 net cost ÷ 9 months remaining.
• Current remaining miles: 4,405 (~500 miles/month)
• Maturity mileage: 22,505

Option 2: More miles

• Effective monthly payment: $676
• The Math:  use $1,000 of the incentive to buy you 4,000 extra miles from BMW FS, and you keep the remaining $1,200 in cash.
• Current remaining miles: 8,108 (~901 miles/month)
• Maturity mileage: 26,208

Key Features on this Build:

• Driving Assistant Professional package (Includes the highly sought-after Hands-Free Motorway Assistant)
• Sky Lounge Panoramic Glass Roof
• Climate-Controlled Seats (Ventilated AC & Heated)
• Harman/Kardon Surround Sound System
• Shadow-Line Exterior Trim & 4-Zone Automatic Climate Control

Vehicle Condition: The vehicle is in excellent condition, garage-kept, and completely clean inside and out. It has been incredibly well cared for. The car is officially parked and will not be driven anymore, meaning your available monthly mileage buffer will only improve while the transfer processes.

Lease Extension Bonus: If 9 months feels too short, BMW Financial Services easily allows you to extend this lease month-to-month for an additional 2 to 6 months at the end of the term, letting you ride this ultra-low rate even longer.

Very eager to move this vehicle. DM asap.

Should the Bible be required reading in Texas public schools?

Texas has approved new reading standards that include Bible stories and scripture as required reading in English and literature classes.

Whether you support or oppose the decision, it will eventually affect public schools across the state.

Do you think this is about teaching literature and history, or does it cross the line between church and state?

Anyone else miss the Tandy Center lights?

I remember going to Steak and Ale on Camp Bowie in Fort Worth on July 13, 1985. The day Live Aid was airing. 😆👍🏻

Texas voters?

Or the Texas Legislature?

Congressman Keith Self's proposal to repeal the 17th Amendment raises questions that go far beyond politics. This opinion takes a closer look at what the proposal could mean for Texas voters.

These AI Cameras log and store your license plate, face, any defining characteristics about your car. It's like having a warrantless police tail following you wherever you go

DFW has nearly 4,000 AI Cameras all running a very outdated version of Android (Android 7) with a myriad of known security vulnerabilities that are NOT going to be patched due to the OS being no longer supported by the developers of Android

That means this isn't just a problem for our civil liberties but also a matter of national security that the people in charge are too equal parts corrupt and incompetent to understand.

Contact your local city council members:

Fort Worth:

a script to follow:

"Hi, I'm calling about the 4,000 AI Flock cameras that have recently been installed in our community. These cameras log and store license plates, and vehicle details, creating a warrantless tracking system for every resident.

I'm calling to urge you to take action to end the cities contract with Flock and end this warrantless surveillance program.

Thank you."

edit: removed the bit about the operating system in the script.
