Those with long vehicles, which entrance do you use to get into the Pacific Center parkade? I went down the Howe/Dunsmuir entrance recently and I thought I was either going to scrape the front bumper along the wall or curb my rear wheel when the ramp curves left to the ticket dispensers... lol...

Is the Robson entrance any better? Howe/Georgia?

Maybe give the Howe / West Pender lot a shot.

How long? I've gotten in with the X5 while it's tight I didn't feel like I was going to scrape walls. My bigger concern is when I get in and out with the M3, the curbs are so tall I would curb the wheels and bumpers if I'm not careful.

It's a 2020 G90, 124.4" wheelbase... lol the car isn't parking lot friendly

yray 07-31-2025 01:24 PM

keep going straight and you can wrap into the robson entrance which is slightly bigger i think

!LittleDragon 07-31-2025 06:31 PM

Thanks, I'll keep those entrances in mind the next time I need to go there... lol I've had the car 4 years and that was the first time I went into the PC parkade. I've gotten it into and out of Crystal Mall, figured PC couldn't be worse than that... it's not on the inside but the entrances are shit... but once I got inside, I notice all these trucks in there and wondered how they got in there without curbing/hopping the rear wheel on the curb. Now I know why 4 wheel steering is a thing... lol

RabidRat 07-31-2025 08:21 PM

They need to add 4 wheel steering to Costco shopping carts. Dodging around people is too difficult.

EvoFire 07-31-2025 09:28 PM

Oh yeah the G90 is huge. Crystal mall is actually not that tight, the problem is the people who frequent it.

i havent seen a single g90 in town yet. but when i dropped off the x5 at the dealership i got to poke around and sit in the g99 in the showroom. i hate that i like it.

I thought the icbc book said to occupy into the parking portion so you can block out bikes on coming up from behind

heck, people turn right from anywhere but the right

I have to ask but which wheels are these and how/why are your lug nuts stripping? Do you even have the correct size and length? :confused:

He's obviously the wrong size and length :lawl:

trollface 08-02-2025 08:22 AM

Also, aftermarket wheels often have cone/ball seat etc.

Don't but random 1.5 nuts. You gotta get the right seat.

I hope he knows that! :drunk:

dark0821 08-02-2025 08:49 AM

the lug nuts came with the wheels...

The lugs been abused since 2019, and they are the unbranded China aluminum ones (soft af)

All of them are kinda stripped, but at least still torques to correct specs except for 2.....those 2 will rotate on the torque wrench... and I am kinda scared to even try now cuz I dont want them to be stuck and cant take off my wheels

They are Konig Flow Formed AMPLIFORM 19 X 8.5

bcrdukes 08-02-2025 08:52 AM

How are you abusing the lug nuts? 100% pedal to the metal full torque from a red light all day every day? :confused:

You can't use an impact on aluminum lugs. You have to hand thread them, use a ratchet and then torque wrench.

Talked o the guy delivering gas today. Additives are added at the fuel terminal when the fuel is being loaded into the tanker automatically.
