As a newbie’ this would have helped me a lot before reading the NO VII thread.
Took me forever and a day because I was googling each acronym/abbreviation I came across.

 

[SubieRubyRoo]

BMW = Buy More Warranty

Break My Will (to keep fixing it?)

 

[BMW Dom]

Break My Will (to keep fixing it?)

You’ve probably spent more on HPL than I’ve spent on maintenance and repairs

 

[SubieRubyRoo]

You’ve probably spent more on HPL than I’ve spent on maintenance and repairs

I’ve got less than you would expect, only been using HPL for right around 12 months now. I’ve got about $500 total with them across 3 vehicles, partly because I don’t have it shipped. And obviously, if I wanted to go back to $19-26 oil changes, I can at any time. I just don’t feel like getting under the truck 4 times per year

I won’t tease you about your cost of maintenance and repairs, because with my luck you’d end up needing rod bearings by the end of the week

In case anyone cares, I have taken previous first version(s) of this acronym list compiled by Char Baby and wally6934, added all other acronyms I have seen on this thread, alpha sorted and de-duplicated, and corrected a few misspellings or definitions where I knew them and could find a reference source elsewhere on the web. Please private message me corrections/additions for this list via this forum and I'll keep it up to date the best that I can. I hope this helps others. If admins want to merge this work back into the original list, that's fine too.
