Comment on BMW’s Newest “Innovation” is a Logo-Shaped Middle Finger to Right to Repair
innermachine@lemmy.world 2 hours agoI also highly doubt this screw is made with intention to keep users out of repairing their cars. I guarantee they are dress ups for engine bay/ interior. Having the bmw logo along panel screws looks far more diff than a bunch of torx screws. Every car requires either special tools or special software to work on, NO exceptions in modern vehicles. You cannot truly clear error codes from a Chrysler without a subscription to their gateway and internet access. You can go in limp mode where there’s no service and ur 5k scanner won’t help you without wifi. I don’t give a crap about special fasteners that’s the name of the game, my gripes are what they do on the computer side of things to lock you out.
