They tried doing it with blinkers but none of their drivers noticed
Lmao.
I was charged 150$ to enable the recording feature of the local, built in cameras on my car... All the recording happens locally and nothing is sent to the cloud... Literally paid to use what I already had... Yay capitalism
and you paid for it 🤦♂️
Next it'll be ABS and seatbelts

What's the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?
The porcupine has its pricks on the outside.
As I said elsewhere, 🖕 BMW
Not like I'd ever own their overpriced garbage in the first place. I've worked on them (since the 70's), they're over-hyped trash from a durability standpoint. And how they put things together makes maintenance a nightmare.
They could learn a lot from Japan, who's worst brands are far better
Any observations on Mercedes and Audi?
Allegorical, but I have 2008 Mercedes C300 (W204). I purchased it in 2017 with 90k miles and I'm currently at 190k. It's still my daily driver and overall I remain pretty happy with it.
The tl;dr of this car has been toyota-like reliability with maintenance/repairs being uncommon but more costly when they need to be done. I wouldn't assume my experience is indicative of Mercedes overall.
I'm not a mechanic but I am an engineering technician and test driver in automotive T&V
All the luxury German brands are great cars until the warranty runs out.
After that, the car will last as long as your bank account can hold a comma.
Changed the battery on my friends BMW it just took removing 5 parts/covers/crossbar, 16 bolts, 2 clips and the battery was ONLY 350$. German engineering at its finest!
Everyone told him not to buy it he did it anyway.
Oh, I almost forgot his gas pedal keeps unclipping from the bottom when there is a bit of sand or rocks on the carpet. Told him to press from the bottom instead of the top so it stays clipped but does he listen !
Well to their credit I was never considering a BMW in the first place because to me personally I just don’t see the value of the offerings.
Because you're not blinded by ego.
What BMW owners think they have:
The envy of all other drivers on the road.
What they actually have:
An overpriced four wheeled trash can.
I never thought I would be happy to own a 2012 car with over 100k miles but here we are.
Last tweet:
“The suspension is killing me”
Remember when BMW got shit for a subscription for heated seats? Subaru has been doing that shit for some time now.
Nope.
kill it with fire
Oh I cannot wait to hear about this on ATP.
I'd rather invest in a Tacoma.
