Bro you're loaded, isn't that a monthly subscription like heated seats?

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

Looks suspicious. You should immediately pull off on the right shoulder.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Typical bmw driver, checks out

"What is that useless pedal to the left of the accelerator for?"

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

That's the break check peddle. You press it really hard on the highway to make sure that the person behind you has good breaks.

When using the turn signal handle, "Down is left, Up is right."

This picture is obviously indicating the car is down.

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Do people really have to remember like that? The handle moves the same directions as the wheel does.

[–] Squirrelanna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

Yeah lots of folks don't realize when their car is up or down.

Turn it off! Every blinker has a limited number of blinks, and do you know how much a BMW dealer will charge to refill it?

"organic synthetic" is a nice touch. Reminds me of seeing "organic" salt somewhere

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

its $250 for a chevy

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 15 hours ago

Yes, this is very dangerous. With BMW, Mercedes and Audi, leaving this light on for more than 3 ticks will cause an explosion. That's why you never see these brands using their turn signal.

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 12 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

BMW used to be king arsehole of UK roads, back in the 1990s. This mantle was usurped by Audi in the new millennium but not everywhere it seems.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago

Now it's tesla

This is what happens when NYC votes Mamdani.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 2 points 12 hours ago

There are also regional variations of many other vehicles that have this same useless indicator.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Your no-blinker fluid is low. Though botox requires a prescription so it's not super easy to fix.

[–] baller_w@lemmy.zip 57 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Best “car guy” trope I’ve ever heard is that BMW signals work fine and the drivers use them. They just emit a spectrum of light that the poors can’t see.

As a BMW driver myself, I’m on the opposite end of that spectrum. I signal my intent to an obnoxious degree. If I get into an accident, the other motorist can’t claim they didn’t know where I was going.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 17 points 22 hours ago

Well if it's their word against yours, since you're driving a beemer they'll automatically believe them when you claim you were signalling.

[–] square@lemmy.zip 5 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

You have to oversignal in modern BMWs or the wheel vibrates and tries to correct the other direction. Forced merges, lane splitting, any deviation from straight down the middle even when it's obvious that you have to do that thing, the car bitches at you if you don't signal.

The first thing they teach you in bmw driving school is how to deactivate all that shit so you can still be an asshole on the road

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 5 points 17 hours ago

They know their drivers.

Just ignore it man. Mines been doing that for months.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 11 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (7 children)

To me this joke should be about Teslas, not BMW...

Just based on what im seeing when driving. I was starting to think that Tesla made that function very difficult to use or something.

[–] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Newer Teslas have the turn signals as buttons on the steering wheel

(As well as an official $500 "retrofit" traditional stalk and steering wheel)

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

They don't even have some kind of raised tactile button. It looks like a shitty toy button.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That seems super annoying to use actually. It all makes sense now.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

You have to take your eyes off the road to figure out if Top or Bottom is Left or Right until you got used to that asinine design.

Check your blinker fluid 🧐

[–] JATtho@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

I once asked a friend to what common technical fault (motor, bearings etc.) bmw cars usually start breaking. "Usually, BMWs are rolled around lightposts in the winter, so they never really break." Was his answer. I'm still gobsmacked of his honesty. xD

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 83 points 1 day ago (9 children)

BMW: Why do my turn signals hurt?

Morpheus: You’ve never used them.

Too lazy to make the actual meme tonight. Someone else do it for me.
