You don't have to say "over" at the end when you're writing things out.

Someone help me, my overpriced and non-unique status symbols are fighting!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Funny, but there is no such thing as an overpriced status symbol.

How would they wireless charge when it's being held in their hand? Only explanation for not using a turn signal.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nah they just can’t be bothered to pay for BMW’s add-on Turn Signal Subscription. For only $5000 per year, any BMW owner can get access to up to 50 blinks per month.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is the blinks counting each instance of turning on the indicators or the blinks themselves? If it's the latter BMW drivers might only have enough blinking quota for a single turn sitting at a red.

Eh, the joke works both ways as 50 turns is still probably only a day's worth. I just wanted to be fun and add a bit of substance since you (probably intentionally) was vague on the specifics.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think they’ve been doing this the whole time, and that’s why BMW drivers never signal,brake at the last second, and roll though lights,,,?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Nah they just forgot to refill the blinker fluid again

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Ha ha, joke's on them. It's the only wireless charger I've found that doesn't work with my case on so I never use it!

BMW continues the tradition of being an asshole

Bmw wireless charging: exists
New iPhone: breaks

Must be bmw's fault, flawless logic.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it only affects iPhone 15, it could as well be an Apple issue

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Apple continues the tradition of being an asshole

As someone who owns a Supra, good thing I don't have an iPhone.
