      This will just be ‘poor’ people BMWs. The 200k M whatever will likely be free of this.

      It’s just a last ditch effort to mine what little is left in the middle of the glorious k shaped economy.

    I haven’t had a car that has tried this with me, but it will result in an instant selling of the vehicle or replacement of the infotainment system.

    Remember when reputable brand names cared about hurting their name and image by not doing certain things so they could be held to a higher standard leaving your expectations high that you will get a higher end product?

    To the extent I am forced to have a car, I am committed to avoiding anything later than 2014.

    Pre-Harambe cars only.

          Well, at least the engine’s running.

          I do get the blessing of going through ball joints and bushings like candy tho, so, tit for tat. I did recently also have to do the AC unit. I do all the work myself that I can. The AC unit was more fun than hard, had to borrow a buddy’s vaccum pump tho. The suspension can be… trying at times.
