duncan-uk Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 Auto lights I’ve learned to tolerate as long as you check after an mot or service. auto wipers I’d grown used to in the e39 as always on but on the f11 you have to activate each time. Early systems frustrated as they stopped when stationary so m25 deluge was a pain when stop start. seems the consensus is things that take away control/ stop you thinking are not as helpful as manufacturers think.

norseman Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Not sure what you are defining as 'early' systems, but on both my E34 & current E39 the wipers default to intermittent wipe, not stop. These daft ideas are the result of some geek, who has nothing better to do, dreaming it up & then marketing convinces the buying public that it's a 'must-have' consequently the car gets heavier & more costly to buy; then dealers screw the owner over with parts & labour costs. Cars today are only designed to function throughout the warranty period, after that ... 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syncrofred Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I wonder what a car would cost today if it only carried you from A to B and made you do everything yourself. Like my 1955 Austin. That’s a real wake up call after being cosseted and spoiled rotten in a modern transportation system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
