They tried doing it with blinkers but none of their drivers noticed
Lmao.
and you paid for it 🤦♂️
Next it’ll be ABS and seatbelts
BMW, soon: “Warning - you are almost out of your free braking credits for this month! Purchase additional BMW Premium Gems that can be exchanget for braking credits at the rate of 13.7 to 1 and into acceleration credits at the rate of 12.864 to 1 now, or activate the Braking Unlimited subscription to receive unlimited braking credits and a chance to win 4 free hours of air conditioning!”
MBA mode: Why is accelerating more expensive than braking? Let’s flip that pricing around! Let people put the pedal to the metal and then gauge out their eyes when they realize they will need to stop!
Subscrptio automatically activated and charged if the car detect an emergency. Codified by the bipartisan bill: “Kids road safty and protection act”
KRSPA
Needs some word starting with y at the end and it could become KRSPAY
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
I’ve also heard stories of a Mercedes giving you 1 000 000 km (or 1 Gm) as long as you take good care of it.
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.
kill it with fire
Nope.
Oh I cannot wait to hear about this on ATP.
I’d rather invest in a Tacoma.
