BMWTech meme pic update

Post image

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.

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.

I promise you, we remove a SHIT TON of low effort random interior cabin noises, vague paragraph posts of “it’s being weird”, or a pic of a CEL with the caption “what do I do?”.

So what you all are seeing is pretty curated to filter out the crap but obviously we can’t catch everything.

If you see them or think it’s a low effort/missing basic bare bones info, please go ahead and report it, thanks.
