Guess that Awkwafina song now needs a partial re-write. Isn't Bernie Madoff dead? He's dead, right? Nah, that motherfucker not dead, he in jail getting booty-rammed by the feds, getting tossed by a dude named Big Ed, in a hotbed,

USB stack error I seem to recall, can't remember if it was a scanner or a printer they plugged in.

Not to be confused by Ripple, a Galaxy-branded chocolate bar made my Mars.

Different brands use different formulations, apparently the brand that the dealership puts in at BMW/MINI doesn't play nicely with some of the brands from supermarkers. More of an issue for newer cars though, I will give you that.

Nah, BMW uses tablets for it's screenwash that are about £7 for six, each makes 5 litres. BMW Part number: 83122298202 Less shipping cost/environmental impact too. 30 litres for around £7 (plus a few pennies for water) doesn'

As nearly always - SUVs are the problem. Smaller, lower cars don't seem to have the same issues.

Battery pack might be better really, you could move the centre of gravity slightly lower than the fuel tank and engine on a ICE version.

It is where I live, so weird visiting the US and seeing "ask your doctor for" adverts. If I asked my GP for a specific medication they'd look at me like an alien.

Other cars in the same class had it as standard - for example the Fiesta ST or the Polo GTI, I just didn't like the cabin or the ride quality on the Fiesta compared to the MINI. And the Polo felt totally bland. The Fiesta and Polo are

I have a 2019 MINI Cooper S with Professional iDrive, I can confirm it is buggy. It's the best system, but it's still awful.

Sounds no worse than the factory Wireless CarPlay on my 2019 F56 Cooper S. It's infuriatingly laggy and buggy. Best bit was that when I ordered the car is was a near £2k option to add it because you had to buy the upgraded Nav option,

Yeah I've been having that issue. Along with the email inbox bug they claim to have fixed but is still very much live and well on my iPhone 7 Plus.

Depends where you live I suppose. A Jazz (what it's called in the UK) starts at £15k, a Smart back before they went electric only in this market was well under £9k.

The vehicle had an huge fuel cell installed, it's likely they had much larger fuel pumps added to account for increased consumption caused by having a higher intake pressure. As for electronics, what sort of upgrades are you imagining?

As someone from the UK who's driven a lot in the US, to cut road deaths you guys should just make your driving test more standardised across states and also much more difficult to pass.

They don't sell the A1 in the US, and that version is actually the S1 and cost £27k for the base version when launched here in the UK. It's a bit of a one-off they sold hardly any of them. Again, there are fast A3s but the vast ma

Other manufacturers have done it, look at MINI. That started off as a Morris Mini-Minor, turned into a Morris Mini/Austin Mini, then just a Mini, then Rover Mini, then BMW turned it into it's own brand, MINI. Ford are presumably j

Like healthcare in the UK, private companies presumably won't go out of business but will instead offer a more expensive alternative for those willing to pay. An example I have is my Dad who at 60 needs a double need replacement, the N
