BMW Adaptive Suspension Can Be Added via Subscription. Suspension As A Service (SAAS)
BMW's Adaptive M Suspension subscription has ignited controversy. Are you paying extra for features already in your car? Find out more.
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
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!"
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.
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 !
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.
