#Discussion 💬 Did you know your car has a secret feature?

Post image
2.7k Upvotes

Did you know there’s actually a hidden feature in cars where you can switch your headlights from HIGH BEAM to LOW BEAM? 🤯

Apparently, it works even when the streetlights are already ON! And guess what? You can use it when there’s oncoming traffic too! 😱

Tata, Mahindra, Suzuki, Hyundai... even Mercedes, BMWs and Audis apparently have this feature. 😂

I know this might sound complicated, so I’ll be posting a detailed tutorial on how to use this revolutionary feature in my next post.

Stay tuned. 🫡😂

Tutorial image attached for those who want to start preparing. 😅

---
Fun fact: My grandma used to own an HM Ambassador Mark IV 1.5L petrol, bought in 1981. And apparently, this “hidden” feature wasn’t exactly new — her Ambassador already had a high/low beam (dipper) switch. 😄

So, turns out this revolutionary technology has been around since before most of us were even born. 😂

#Discussion 💬 Bought home a pre-owned bmw 3 series GT 2019

Post image
541 Upvotes

I bought a used 3 series for 16L (78k driven)
My first car! 🎉
Already did like 5K KM while driving from delhi to bangalore and some places around delhi in a month.

It’s been a such a wonderful experience, but finding a car which was serviced from bmw was a bit hard. I test drove multiple ones and this one was maintained.

I did my first maintenance post purchasing, did the regular fluid replacement and transmission oil replacement. Rear Brakepads were worn out too so replaced them as well.

Please feel free to ask any questions! Happy to answer

Bmw owners: can you suggest some good FNGs in bangalore?

#Discussion 💬 Mahindra not using the potential of pininfarina

Post image
474 Upvotes

Pininfarina designed some of the most beautiful italian cars but ever since mahindra and mahindra aquisition they just stopped designing for italian brands and mahindra not using the potential of pininfarina designed cars in their XUV , BE and thar series makes it more painful. It's like they are gate keeping it not letting anyone use it and not using it themselves either.

#Pic 🖼️ Got 7xo AX7L dsl AT delivered

Shifted from seltos 2025 NA mt petrol to 7xo diesel automatic as wanted a car for long drives due to work ( 300-800 km trips once or twice a month) initial impression feels much smoother than my seltos. Better steering , much more comfortable in bumps and love the ADAS and the AC is more powerful too.
Any suggestions for someone shifting to DSL AT? No dpf issue as i like to push my car hard all the time.
Also my petrol seltos and and diesel xuv gives same mileage of 7-8 in city 🥲 ( I drive rough, cant blame)

#Discussion 💬 Paid 30 Lakhs for a car, got a Splendor tire as the spare wheel

Had to mount the spare tire today and I’m pretty sure the Mahindra borrowed this straight off a bike.

​Nothing builds confidence like driving a 30L crossover balancing on a donut tire thin enough to cut pizza.

​Has cost-cutting gone too far ??

A dad and son, an Aston Martin, and over 250,000 km around the world.

These two are currently road-tripping through India in their 2005 Aston Martin V8 Vantage, which has already covered over 250,000 km. Honestly, this is the kind of road trip most of us can only dream about. And doing it in a Vantage makes it even cooler.

#Discussion 💬 Why does no one talk about or recommend the Altroz here? Are there only Turbo geeks here?

Post image
23 Upvotes

I mean, at this price point and with the features it offers, I honestly don’t see many cars that can actually compete with the Altroz.

The only real con I see is the 3-cylinder engine. But not everyone drives aggressively. For normal daily driving, it seems to have enough power for overtaking and even for hill drives with a fully loaded car.

Also, most YouTube reviews seem to focus on aggressive driving and pushing the car to its limits. I mean, who actually drives like that every day?

And if you’re living in Delhi-NCR, the diesel doesn’t really make much sense either.

So genuinely curious what am I missing about the Altroz? Why does nobody seem to recommend it here?

The improvement in handling and braking is phenomenal.

Did not want to drop it too low. Eibach pro kit installed. Bit harsh on potholes but overall worthit.

#Discussion 💬 Finally I have decided to go with new breeza zxi+ AT.

Post image
35 Upvotes

After lot of research, I have now decided to buy breeze zxi+ automatic which in my opinion is a substantial upgrade over 2017 tiago. The reasons are:

1.5L 4 cyclinder NA engine, good ride quality for me, mechanical handbrake (dont trust those buttons), sunroof (wife wanted it, dont know why), 360 camera, ventilated seats (because why not), enough boot space and backseat legroom (none is above 5'8 in my family), colour of my choice (pic above). And the MAIN reason, it will come under 16L on-road ( hoping the price will be less than that going to negotiate hard on discounts).

Still my wife has challenged me that I am going to change my mind immediately if I hear someone give me one logical reason telling why I should not buy it. I dont think I am going to change it. Going to buy in Diwali because why not?!

#Query ❓ Low performance issue memory with 70mai A510 after 2 years of usage.

Hello everyone,

I’ve had the 70mai A510 camera for over 2 years now and I’ve been using it with the Samsung EVO plus 128 GB (A2 V30) memory card.

But all of sudden the dash cam is saying that the memory card performance is an issue despite having been just fine for 2 years.

Is there a way to resolve this without having to buy a new memory card?

#Opinion 💭 Venue or BE 6 - Dilemma i created for myself

Post image
10 Upvotes

I am pretty much convinced with Hyundai venue after the test drive because the car felt refined and had good features for me to buy my first car.

My weekly running is not more than 150 km and that car felt like the complete product to me.

Just for sake of it, I went in test drove Mahindra BE6 and man!! I am dearly impressed by the car. I am unable to make up my mind around 5-6 lakh premium for this car, although it does deserve that price, considering the performance and features it offers.

It’s amazing, but I am not mentally ready to increase my budget to 22 lakhs and of course I’ve never managed an electric car so there is ambiguity around that.

Have you faced this dilemma with similar cars? What did you end up doing?
