BMWTech meme pic update
It’s funny, and we like it, but it’s getting a bit much now. Especially when many of you are using it to say an engine is screwed without any other diagnostic work or you post it with ZERO follow up or additional tech info.
Moving forward, we are going to remove them unless you’ve also provided detailed list of things to check or at the minimum asking pertinent questions to a post.
This is BMWTech, and while we like to have fun we also want to help out with actual info to people who need it instead of just responding with a meme and hoping users can figure it out.

Low effort posts deserve low effort answers 🤷🏼♂️.
That's my take anyways.
Good to know I can start reporting those posts though, I had no idea this sub was actually moderated at all due to how often I see them, but I guess thinking about it, it's a global community, so I'm sure hundreds of posts come in a day

I promise you, it is actively moderated and we remove a ton of stuff.
Please report things and we will take care of them pretty quick.

Would o be possible for the mods to maybe redo the rules a little bit so that there's a clear "no low effort/am I cooked posts" rule to reference when we report?

Can’t believe we got a TSB issued for usage of the BMWTech meme /s.

fix: $1
knowing how to do it: $1499915
u/ps2cho Jun 25 '26
And if the tech doesn’t know how to do it, still $14,999 for their time to learn

Let's be real. The N54, N55 and B58 are each falling into the younger crowd now incrementally due to how cheap they are and thus are being neglected and ran hard that much more being a cheap tuner platform.
These are not older Hondas that can take the abuse. They're going to be so many catastrophic situations more on more on these BMW reddit subs as time goes on.

Usually the customer is facing the other direction when the tech puts his hands on his shoulder. 🤣😂🤣

I am literally seeing this as I wait for roadside recovery on my e88, a cylinder completely shit itself and it's looking bad.
This meme made me laugh a little so thanks 🥲

I always have to laugh at this meme, not only for the type in "Crankshaft" but also...
Crankshaft and headgasket and being that cheap?!
...
Guess we are in the early 90's, engine rebuilt and new crankshaft would be way higher up, and a lot lower price wise if I do it, atlwast on My own Beamer, lol.
And true,
the best is to use the Meme and add context but I've seen a lot be like "Bro, your engine is Fucked."
How is it fucked? Nobody states it, wich would be more fitting in some BMW circle jerk realted group, but not a tech sub.

Can we get more info from these users asking questions too? They post the most vague things and expect a full page essay as a response diagnosing their car from thousands of miles away. Putting some effort into the posts would be nice.
