Officially Out of Commission for Nineteen Days or More
For my annual checkup, I visited the eye doctor this morning. If anything was wrong, she wanted to know. She asked me about the black spots I've been seeing in my left eye for months, and I told her. She photographed my retinas and conducted all of her tests. She went on to tell me that I needed to ...

Re: Poor Construction Quality
With leather, it's expected that signs of wear won't be noticeable until at least 186 miles (or 300 kilometers, not 300,000) have passed. The seats bear the BMW Individual label, so I knew they were real leather. The ventilated cooling system is housed in a two-tone leather seat.

Re: Poor Construction Quality
The sports seats in my previous G30, which were Leder Dakota/schwarz/exklusivnaht, showed almost no wear after 300,000 kilometers.
No matter what file system I tried reading the USB drive from—Fat32, NTFS, EXT4, Linux—it just wouldn't work.

Poor Construction Quality
Salutations Everyone,
Is it incorrect to say that the new G60's construction is subpar compared to what BMW is known for? The driver's seat shows signs of wear and tear, and the rear passenger seats, which have not been used or sat in, have dent marks. My G60 has 300 kilometers (or 000300km) on the ...

Adjusting torque
Hello everyone, I should know better than to rely on online sources, but I made the error of thinking 50 nm was the main bearing cap torque setting for 380 SL. Now I'm starting to doubt my abilities because I believed it was Conrods.

The manual charger release should not be overlooked. Even I can tell that they would seldom ever require that. Worst case scenario: you need a DC fast charger but the handle gets trapped in the connector. At least they'll be aware that, below the liner, inside the trunk, there's a pull tab.
