    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

        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!

    What’s the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?

    The porcupine has its pricks on the outside.

    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.

    Remember when BMW got shit for a subscription for heated seats? Subaru has been doing that shit for some time now.
