Should I choose a BMW vehicle with a Steptronic Transmission?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 2nd, 2022 12:12 AM Author: Laughsome fanboi haunted graveyard If you are considering the purchase of a new or pre-owned BMW vehicle and you are wondering if you should choose one with the Steptronic Transmission, then ask yourself this question, “What type of driver are you?” Are you the type of driver that likes to sit back and enjoy the vehicle’s engine as it shifts from gear to gear for you, or do you like to be more engaged with the vehicle and do the gear shifting yourself? With the BMW Steptronic Transmission, you have the option to do both; the freedom to choose which way you would like to drive. This highly advanced transmission system has been designed to give drivers the most flexibility possible, without detracting from the driving experience. After all, choosing a BMW is about performance and the Ultimate Driving Machine. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5165506&forum_id=2...id#44950641) |
Date: August 2nd, 2022 12:17 AM Author: Impertinent lay cuckold probably only $5000 to replace that transmission a lot of 10 year old BMW headlights have the tendency to melt requiring replacement
if you're a goy that goes to a (((BMW mechanic))) the will charge $650 for each headlight + $1000 for labor
so you get $2500 to replace your headlights |

Date: August 2nd, 2022 12:19 AM Author: Laughsome fanboi haunted graveyard I would charge that too if you paid that much for a car but you're too stupid to replace a headlight. Can you replace the bulbs with LEDs at least or does the dealer put another halogen bulb in there? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5165506&forum_id=2...id#44950660) |

i think there is some sort of method for aiming so you don't blind opposing traffick |

Date: July 15th, 2025 1:49 PM Author: Laughsome fanboi haunted graveyard You're supposed to aim them when you install them for that exact reason. It reduces the risk of head-on collisions, they say (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5165506&forum_id=2...id#49103388) |

An OEM one is like $1500-3000 depending on if you have the laser headlights or no (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5165506&forum_id=2...id#44950743) |

Date: August 2nd, 2022 1:46 PM Author: Impertinent lay cuckold i mean you can put as much money as you want into the headlights of a $10k car (which should cost $5k)
$2500 is the figure they throw around |

Date: August 2nd, 2022 5:21 PM Author: Laughsome fanboi haunted graveyard Seems like the cr move is to keep an eye out for headlights and grab them when you spot a bargain, then go shopping for a car that's compatible with those headlights. Too bad u have to pop the trunk to get at them or I'd probably just steal some. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5165506&forum_id=2...id#44953684) |

problem is the average BMW owner enjoys getting raped by mechanics |

|
Date: August 2nd, 2022 5:12 PM Author: Laughsome fanboi haunted graveyard I'm sure but ultimately it kinda defeats the purpose of an automatic doesn't it? Shifting isn't really an issue on the highway, and stop and go traffic is what kills your DCT. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5165506&forum_id=2...id#44953662) |

Sad!
