am not interested in how it works, its just another example of useless bavarian engineering.
So because a plane crashes and kills all onboard it’s a useless technology?

I see my bad in quoting you. You’re one of those who enjoy the sweet taste of ignorance regardless its consequences.

Yes, it is an example of great engineering as such designs have made life
better for the citizens of the world unlike those who have to import machines from
china before they can manufacture an HB pencil.
Before you reply, please come up with a "good engineering design" that cannot kill
under all circumstance.

Not every automation is necessary if you ask me. Automatic door is certainly over the top for me. Remember 1992 when honda automated its front seat belt in the accord? That did not fly. It was discontinued. Remember Mercedes Benz innovation of single wiper? That was still discontinued. I don't see BMW continuing this one. It's a misadventure. These things are seen more in the US. Europe still produces cars with manual transmission. In the US almost every car has automatic transmission.

i dont know why you re all quick to make reference newly released vehicles without sampling users opinion, mr boateng is not after bmw money, he just wants to drae attention to defect in the vehicle and wants bmw to take responsibility for their defective door shutter.
