The interior features extended black Merino leather with special M Sport tri-color stitching. Only 500 of these special cars will be sold in America and include special matte grey wheels, five unique paint colors derived from classic BMW hues, and carbon-fiber exterior bits, including a carbon roof, front splitter, and carbon-tipped exhaust pipes. Aluminum Rhombicle trim is now applied to the interior in place of Aluminum Tetragon, and BMW Individual Frozen Pure Grey II has been added to the paint palette in place of last year's Oxide Grey Metallic.īut this is also joined by the introduction of the M3 Edition 50 Jahre, which celebrates 50 years of BMW M. The optional built-in Driver Recorder dashcam is now a standalone option and no longer part of the Parking Assistance package. Other updates include adjustments to equipment within the various packages, such as the removal of BMW's gimmicky gesture controls from the Executive package. The most significant addition for the 2023 model year in the US market is an interior update that brings the BMW iDrive 8 software and Live Cockpit Plus that incorporates a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen in one curved display. Conducting a review of a BMW M3 has never been more multifaceted than it is now. But the 2023 M3 doesn't have it easy competitors of the BMW M3 include the razor-sharp Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and a new monster in the form of the Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance, both of which address the same audience in a completely different fashion. Thee's a six-speed manual on the base version, while an eight-speed auto brings an added layer of precision to Competition derivatives. Its CLAR architecture means the M3 can play host to both rear- and all-wheel drive systems, with a base model utilizing a 473-horsepower turbocharged inline-six to drive the rear wheels, while the Competition variant has 503 hp and a choice of drivetrain configurations. ![]() The G80 generation was first introduced in 2020 when its controversial grille set tongues wagging, and it hasn't stopped dividing opinions since. This famous lineage started with the E30 in the 1980s and has evolved into something larger than the original car's creators could have ever imagined.

Users are able to extend the Alexa capabilities by installing "skills" (additional functionality developed by third-party vendors, in other settings more commonly called apps) such as weather programs and audio features.

Is it worth the $20 premium over the Soundcore 2? Absolutely. While other speakers may sound better, you’re going to have to spent much more money. However, the Wonderboom is more rugged and can be clipped to a bag.įor the money, we can’t think of a speaker that offers a better balance of features, build quality and sound. Competitors like the UE Wonderboom give the Flare a run for its money in terms of build quality but we give the Flare the slight edge with sound quality. ![]() The Soundcore Flare is an amazing value in the sub-$100 wireless speaker segment. However, you can stretch the battery life by disabling the light show entirely. With the LEDs set to medium intensity and listening at 50% volume, we managed to get around 8 hours. There’s slight distortion so those who like to listen to music loudly will want to invest in a larger speaker.īattery life is rated at around 12 hours and will depend largely on volume level and the brightness of the LEDs. ![]() Similarly, highs are a bit uncontrolled and sound harsh at times, especially at high volumes. ![]() With the Bass Up feature enabled, we find the Flare produces slightly more bass than the UE Wonderboom but both lack the visceral impact that larger speakers provide. That being said, for its size the Anker Soundcore Flare can get loud and produces admirable bass. In fact, all of the EQ presets are quite subtle, shifting the tonal balance of the speaker slightly. Enabling the Bass Up feature helps bass response a tiny bit but the effect is very subtle. Sound quality of the Anker Soundcore Flare is overall balanced but highs can sound a bit harsh at times when the EQ is set to flat. The app also allows you to adjust the EQ and toggle the Bass Up feature. You can switch light modes either by cycling through them with the light button up top or from the mobile app. The LEDs can be set to pulse with your music to create a light show or can be switched to a soothing breathing mode. The bottom of the speaker features a rugged rubber base and a light ring. On the back of the speaker you’ll find the power and pairing button along with a rubber flap protecting the 3.5mm jack and microUSB charging port. Pressing the light button cycles through various modes while a long-press will shut off the lights. On top of the speaker you get controls for music playback, the RGB LED and a bass boost button. ![]() ![]() So please, don't hop on that amazingly big horse and wave that flag.

He acted like he was bothered with my request. Someone needs to tell the chefs that an English muffin needs to be toasted at least twice as long as a piece of toast! The English muffin was warm but not toasted at ALL! When the guy that delivered our order, I asked him for some butter, ranchero sauce and ketchup for the hash browns that should have delivered with the meal, but wasn't. When the order arrived, my English muffin and jam was on my sisters plate with no butter. A carb was also supposed to be included, so I ordered an English muffin.

This luscious sandwich above is known as the B.E.A.T Sandwich. Yes, we ordered something from every single section. If you’re more of a savory brunch goer, this is the dish for you! While I enjoyed the barbacoa, I preferred the Bella! Bella! Benny which featured slices of prosciutto (my weakness), Taleggio cheese and perfectly poached eggs on toasted ciabatta, topped with cream cheese hollandaise, balsamic glaze (my other weakness) and arugula. What is sure to be a San Antonio favorite – the Chilaquiles Benedict – is composed of barbacoa beef over a stack of ranchero sauced tortillas and melted cheese, with poached cage free eggs, roasted poblano hollandaise, pico de gallo and cotija cheese.

Cover the floor with a drop cloth, because lime plaster will stain.Ĭlean the wall thoroughly with soap and water, then roll on a plaster bonder, which not only bonds the fresh plaster to the old surface, but also controls how much moisture the substrate pulls from the fresh plaster. You’ll be trowelling a 1⁄16″- to 1⁄8″-thick layer of new plaster onto the wall, so set yourself up with a temporary bench with plenty of room for tools. Next, prepare the wall for the new plaster skim coat. For really damaged areas, apply screws about 4″ apart. Areas that have pulled away from the backer wall must be re-anchored with drywall screws set through 1″ square cardboard washers (these help keep the screws from going too deep you want to snug up to the plaster, not punch through it).

Woodwork reveals are preserved, trim work isn’t disturbed, and it’s even possible to add your own color to the new plaster and combine repairs and finishing into one operation. A much less damaging, cost-effective approach is to re-anchor the plaster with special screws and apply a nylon mesh fabric embedded in a thin coat of new plaster. Many people paint or paper over such cracks to make them disappear, but these half-measures don’t eliminate the fissures, which will eventually reappear.Ĭontractors tend to suggest various radical approaches as a solution-even completely removing the plaster and lathe, and replacing it with gypsum drywall.
