They have over-engineered the everything, because that is what BMW does. That is what they have been about for the last thirty years.

It's also how they got a lot of things very early in the game like radars. They had adaptive cruise control in 1999 (similar to Mercedes).

Yet somehow adaptive cruise is a rarity on the BMWs out there, often requiring an option package that few dealers spec. (Though I think this may be finally starting to change with the 2025 model year).

Sadly, they’re close to 100% caught up to automatic transmissions in North America.

>>Scound+np
Are you advocating for manual transmissions?

>>dyausp+SG
In european cars for sure. They don'tilike autos there so they are an afterthought.

though it also means nobody will steal my truck in the us as who can drive it?
