If you ever feel your job is useless just remember that someone, somewhere is installing turn signals in BMWs.
And breaks
The hell is a vanos? Is that like a buttfor?
VANOS is BMWs variable valve timing system
Thanks! That sounds like something that consumer products don’t really need, and customer services makes bank off of. I did the timing on 2 bmws and it was very simple. But they were mid 1980s 5 series, lots of under the hood space, simple engines.
Yesn’t. Variable Valve Timing (VVT) isn’t needed for a car to be able to run, yes, but VVT is the key to allow decent performance out of a smaller displacement, which also means major advantages in fuel economy. So you may be saving in repairs, however if it weren’t for VVT, you’d be paying what you saved in gas
You do realise almost every modern car has some type of variable valve timing, right? It’s part of how they get the combination of economy and performance they do.
Ze finest German engineewing
There’s a reason why Germans call BMWs “Bayrischer Mistwagen” (Bavarian shit can)
My favorite has always been “Bei Mercedes Weggeworfen” or “thrown in the trash at Mercedes”.
I always called them “Bourgeoise Meat Wagon”.
Y’all have cupholders?
My E39’s cup holders are completely useless. Apparently in Europe, it isn’t common to have a drink while you’re driving

I mean, I only drink water, but I still want a holder for it.
It isn’t common. As a driver you can be fined for distracting actions like eating or drinking while driving.
We don’t drink soders and it’s frowned upon to drink beer while driving.
You need a French van then, they’re made to have a bottle of wine in easy reach of the driver whenever he needs it!

Still didn’t install blinkers.
Don’t worry, those are the only stock components on a used Beamer because of how little they’re used
