Me like. Looks a lot like the 2019 540i I had. And oh yes the upgraded interior (which I think you got from the peak inside) is one of my must haves on BMW. I think my wife has a sensitive tush.

Anything but black! We already have Cognac in the X5 so the Ivory White will be something different.

I have the cognac in my X5 also. On Lime Rock gray metallic paint.

- ingredients: Canola Oil? All of the other crap you don’t need? Whey concentrate?
- protein per serving, lower than it should be (32 vs 36)

Consider this instead:

I've tried that. Didn't like it. I'm OK with some veggie oil. As long as it's not loaded with sugars, blends effortlessly and tastes VERY good, it's a winner for me. I've been in this fitness and protein game for over 30yrs. So I'm picky to say the least. I've bought tons of the stuff in those years and I've thrown away a shit ton as well. But hey, variety is the spice of life.
Forgot to mention... I mix it up literally. I rotate between this, Iso pure, Body Fortress and. ON, in keeping with the whole "variety" I mentioned.

Right protein for the right time. I tend to mostly use whey isolate or casein depending on when I take it. Sometimes I use a mix of both. When I'm on travel, I'll pick up Premier Protein of Muscle Milk shakes as they are widely available, even in the remote places I go.

That 'is' a long ingredient list and lot of filler, though, TX. For a 70g serving, less than half is protein. If it works for you, though, all good. I also totally get the unfortunate trade-off between quality product/protein/BCAA profile and taste.

Here's the what I'm currently taking, Whey Protein Isolate and Micellular Casein; both from NOW. The whey is on the lighter end for grams/serving but it has a relatively small ingredient list and only a handful of 'other' per serving. It isn't as chocolate-y as the Double Rich I used to get from ON but adding a scoop of natural or dutch cocoa does the trick for me. Adds fiber, too. lol

Great conversation guys regarding protein. And I will definitely admit, the one I posted is more on the Meal Replacement side of things.
Here's my splurge Protein that I finished up. For overall quality, it's one of my Favs. However, at twice the cost, or @ $100 / 5lbs. My 2 teenage boys also share, so we go through protein regularly.

Quad Lock MAG mount with wireless charging. The close shot makes it look a lot bigger than it is. I'll grab Wifey's phone later to take a shot of my iPhone mounted. I also had to replace my older Quad Lock case with a new MAG case.

I've been buying parts for this for a while now, but it's finally close to being done. I repurposed an old cabinet in the basement to be my network closet. Aside from the modem/router/switch/patch panel, there are two RPi boxes and a Dell box (headless). There is a temp sensor in the upper left corner and a door sensor, so when I open the cabinet, the strip light turns on and then off when I close the doors.

Nice! I'm looking to build "something" to hold storage among other things for the house as a whole. Hopefully a hub for the home, but all wired. I'm not interested in wireless smart home, but I'm fine running cable throughout. Just an initial thought without any research - home isn't even complete yet - but I've already got a specific place planned for it with ready access to the attic to run throughout the house. Should be an exciting project... especially since I have no idea what I'm doing!

You can never have too much conduit. When my brother and I installed the one conduit run from the attic to the crawlspace, I thought it'd be plenty big enough. Not so much. I wish we would have installed a second run. He's coming out here next month, so maybe we can do it then. I'd love to run more CAT6 to other areas of the house, but first I have to finish installing walkways in the attic.

Good point! Its proposed location will be right up against an exterior wall in a room's closet to be used as a media room. So, long (and many) runs to anywhere I need it to go as the only things near it are other bedrooms and my office. Everywhere I feel I need "stuff" is going to be clear shot across the house.

Can't wait to build my spreadsheet

Dreame h12 pro wet & dry vacuum for garage floor clean up! Game changer.

And the base cleans itself and dries the roller brush.

I have an R56 non-s with the 6spd. I bought as a non-runner in December and man was it full of leaks. Spent about $3k total for the car and any engine part / gasket you can imagine. Thing runs fantastic now and no leaks. Even did the timing chain, crank gasket and valve seals and also upgraded the coolant crossover to the metal version from ECS. Wasn't the easiest car to work on but once you put it in front end service mode it wasn't world ending. Getting ready to do the suspension once the parts get here. This car has the most hidden features I've seen.

It's maintenence Monday with a tensioner and pulley kit and a spare tire.
