Silliness. Come on BMW, do better.

AI was surprisingly good at walking me through the controls & settings of my Generac generator when I was doing annual service on it in the Spring. Unfortunately AI will also provide inaccurate information very confidently, so I make sure to verify all important AI provided info before using it.

Can you imagine if one of them were a BITOGer, how they would drive the boss crazy reminding them about scheduled maintenance.🤪

That's so nasty, my browser blocked it..

Just ordered this little 3/8" to 1/2" adapter. Found myself wishing I had one when doing an oil change on the 535d; I scanned my toolbox in vain thinking I had one, but nope. It will allow me to use a 1/2" drive 27mm socket on my 3/8" drive long reach ratchet to remove the oil filter housing cap.

BITOG is like the neighborhood bar, where I would sit in a corner booth and avoid certain of you.

Do you have any family or friends local to you that could recommend a trusted local independent shop?

The love of working on cars has been gone for me for a while, and I ache pretty good for a couple of days after an oil change. Anything harder than an oil change goes to the shop for me these days. And don't get me started on brakes. I HATE BRAKE WORK with an illogical passion and refuse to do...

I have at least 2 Jersey Mike's near me but have never been. I should probably try them.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm going to see The Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald in October. It'll be my second time seeing them. First show was good.

I have "Retire today" in my google calendar for my 60th birthday. I feel like putting something on a calendar has a way of making it more "real". We'll see how it goes.
