What’s something you NEED right now, but cannot afford?

Tommy-G · 11-17-2021, 03:07 PM

(Stolen from another page. I know since we own BMW's we are all broke from maintenance issues etc but I love this idea)

Everyone check to see what others say! Maybe you have it and don’t need it. Maybe you have a “connection” to get it and can help someone out who really needs it

Mein11 · 11-17-2021, 03:33 PM

Fun idea, but what if...., you have everything you need.

A list of wants is all I could come up with. A GT3RS and/or Betty White.

M_Six · 11-17-2021, 03:49 PM

No real needs (except maybe a vacation). Don't even have a "want" that I can't afford. Of course if I hit the lottery tomorrow and suddenly found myself with millions in disposable income, I could probably be enticed into buying a beach house or something. It sux that you can't win the lottery without buying a ticket, though.

Tommy-G · 11-17-2021, 03:52 PM

I would love to get my oil leak fixed. Ever so slight. Probably a valve cover gasket but all my friends were BMW mechanics up north and I have yet to find a good one here.
My Cadillac mechanics don't want to touch a BMW bc they're skurrrred

An MRI machine for the clinic.

King Rudi · 11-17-2021, 04:17 PM

Time. I need more time.

Also, a new concrete driveway poured, roof and landscaping. Would also like to have new flooring and my bathrooms remodeled.

A new car! * Price is right MC voice*

I can guarantee you there is nothing anyone here actually 'needs' as everyone is posting with WiFi and has a warm place to sleep.

Everyone posting here is in the top 5% of world income - so yeah.

I would think that’s a no brainer and a must have no matter the cost

My partner and I have priced some between $1M-$3M. depending on size and model. But we would need to add a stand alone addition to the building which has to be completely isolated from the strong magnetic field and prevent havoc with our electronics. And there's the cost of installation and maintenance. So, as you can see it's not a cheap proposition. For the time being we have to refer out patients to a large center with a wait time of up to four months or a private MRI Clinic if you have $1000 per session.

Turkish Pickle · 11-17-2021, 05:59 PM

Need? Maybe a new closet would help. I'm running out of ideas on what I want to wear lately. The clothes are fine I just don't like them as much anymore :/

Want? A new closet, and some mods for the 330i would be dope!

grannyknot · 11-17-2021, 06:06 PM

I need a new back but would settle for a knee joint and shoulder socket.

If there really is a 4-month wait for a donut of death scan in your region, all y'all may want to consider renting a truck-mounted portable MRI and shuffling it between clinics on a regular schedule:

This portable MRI unit was recently approved by the USA FDA, and seems to be targeted for small-market clinics and hospitals:

Maybe Santa Claus will bring one...if you've been good all year.....
