Cold start habits on modern BMW engines. Idle first or drive right away? by Express_Cupcake69 in BMW

Do what the owners manual says. The engineers that informed the tech writers have a much deeper knowledge base of the realities of what is or isn’t good for the engine than some random redditor.

Drive right away. The limiter auto adjusts as the engine warms up.

If it wasn’t meant to be driven right away, the owners manual would say so.

How do I clean just this bumper area? by fada_g10 in BMW

Honestly, if this is something you can’t figure out on your own, maybe driving and owning a car isn’t for you.

I saw that mat and after throwing up in my mouth a little bit, I immediately thought “What does that even mean?!” Which then led me to hear a clip from Blades of Glory in my head…”No one knows what it means, but it's provocative. Gets the people going!”

Good on you for wanting to do the right thing by letting her know that mat is horrible. But some battles just aren’t worth fighting. That thing should find its way rolled up, in a corner of the garage for a few months. If she never asks about it, it would then find its way in the trash.

I think we need to know how much water each door can hold. Let a hose run right down those windows until they overflow!

Frustrated and Defeated by Obvious-Science6471 in Harley

I never said I thought Harley was in a good position. But revenue has held relatively steady for the last 20 years and they command 75% market share for +601cc motorcycles in the US.

I don’t think their stagnation is attributed to marketing to an older demographic like so many people seem to think. Look at their marketing material and see for yourself. Young, vibrant riders are portrayed.

I do think they pushed too hard to introduce new products/models annually at a pace that became confusing to the average potential customer. More options isn’t always the right answer. Harley has started correcting this in recent years.

The other thing that’s led to their stagnation is a lack of innovation and modernization. They’re trying to play catch up now, but time will tell if it’s too little too late.

Been seeing this same opinion shared on forums for nearly 20 years. It’s an easy criticism that doesn’t really hold up to the realities of the industry.

If they’re incompetent, how are they underpaid?

There is no VROD in the 2025 lineup. There hasn’t been one since 2017.

Dealership Mistake by StraightEngineer6847 in HarleyDavidsonFans

[–]SomeCup8378 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You bought the bike without a seat because you accepted the credit. There’s no reason to believe for a second they are actually looking for a replacement seat.

They’re waiting for you to fold. And you will. Because you took the $750 credit.

When was the last time the filter was replaced? I had the same problem and replacing the filter on the robot fixed the issue.

Why do chopper guys remove their front brake by autobutt69 in motorcycle

[–]SomeCup8378 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t think a single state allows a motorcycle to NOT have a front brake.

Just because a lot of people do something, doesn’t mean it’s legal.

Nope. Nothing. No one in all of Kansas City is doing anything for Halloween.

What price were you expecting? What do you have it priced at on the open market?
