bmw remote door locks

There is something very comforting about relying about a strictly mechanical pins sitting upon the contoured surface of a key, as opposed to relying upon software to work, in order to gain entrance to one's car.

Think iDrive, and you'll understand what I mean.

Until the key breaks off in the lock.

Or the car is stolen, of course.

I am coming to believe that no one will be able to afford (or even want) one of these new BMWs with all the complex systems--or any other "premium" car--after the warranty has expired. The total charges to BMW (under the warranty) was $5800 for replacing the key receptacle in the steering column! And I seriously doubt that even some fairly astute owners could have done the job (after buying the parts) if this were to occur after the warranty expires. Any one else have problems with the comfort access system?

Odd. I don't recall kicking your ass. What's your problem?

Odd. I haven't noticed you kicking molehills, much less anyone's ass.

I thought you were going to unsubscribe from the group now you no longer have any interest in BMWs? Why are you still here?

Oh, I see, you're just an asshole. What you claim you "thought", asshole, was obviously not based in reality. Or were you just lying?

Because I want to be, asshole.

Well, at least chuckleheads like you provide peripheral entertainment.

So, tell us. Exactly whose ass *have* you kicked around here? No prevaricating now, you made the claim, so give us the names and dates, then we can all look it up in Deja/Google and see how smart you really are.

C'mon, you can do it.

As do idiots such as yourself who seem to react with excessive negativity to any criticism of their beloved brand of motor vehicle.

Since you asked nicely, I've posted a link below. Note how Jeffy exits the thread (i.e. runs-away with his tail between his legs) without withdrawing his claim we were "both wrong", even though I made no errors and he made at least two quite egregious errors.

When did I do that? You seem to be even more drunk and confused than you usually are.

If you think that's an "ass kicking," then you *really* need to get out of your mother's basement more often. That was more like a limp-wristed flap with a wet lettuce leaf. It's the best you can do?

So, why *are* you still posting here? Why do you refuse to answer that question? Mining gnomes want to know. Mining gnomes are fond of entertaining chuckleheads like you...

I've been trolled by better than you, child.

What, that's it!? Just the old "troll" cop out?

No ass-kicking? Where's the legendary ass-kicking Dizzy gone? Did he ever exist outside of your own imagination? Do tell.

Meanwhile, creep back into your mother's basement with your tail between your legs. You've got nothing. Your bluff has been called.

Hehe. Not too bad. My troll-o-meter gives you a 7.2! 8)

I'm sorry, but if want an ass-kicking, you'll first have to say something really stupid.

Like, for example, when Jeffy Strickland claimed that the 328's motor had "about 30% more torque" than the 325's motor, despite it having only 12% more displacement.

For a really memorable ass-kicking, like what Jeffy got, you have to say something phenomenally stupid. For example, when, in the same thread, Jeffy Strickland divided 328 by 325, and found "actually less than 1%" difference, as if THAT had anything to do with the torque of the motors!

Of course, if you're as much of a "man" as Jeffy Strickland is, you can move beyond "idiot who just got his ass kicked" and continue-on to "dishonest asshole" territory. For example, when, in the same thread, Jeffy Strickland claimed that we were "both wrong", in spite of me being absolutely correct and him being egregiously wrong on at least two points!

It's all right here, and to this day he will not admit that I was right and he was wrong. That tells you a lot about his character.

Go and lick your wounds, dreamer. I've finished with you now.

Use the other key in the other door. ;)
