Some good things from trading in my BMW 2025 330i. o Went from 2.9% APR to 1.9% APR; as BMW is wants to move inventory. o 1K removed from the price; as I was in the BMW family. o A refund on my extended warranty. I don't know how much yet, as the person who does that does not work on Saturdays.

I hate how nickel and dime everything has become. Starting with the 2026 model year, you only get one key fob with your vehicle. BMW wants you to use your digital wallet on your phone to unlock your vehicle and authenticate you. I will probably order another key fob in the future.

Tomorrow, I will look into purchasing a new BMW SUV and trading in my 2025 BMW 330i. Chuck cannot get out of my car or his car (2025 BMW 230i) without assistance. We need to have a taller vehicle that can get in and out of -- for medical appointment, while I am still working.

Based on the last conversation with Chuck this morning, he might get discharged from the hospital later today. There is talk of another procedure. But, that may be an outpatient item in the future.
