    BMW’s Newest “Innovation” is a Logo-Shaped Middle Finger to Right to Repair

    BMW filed a patent for a proprietary screw that looks like the BMW logo. They say it looks cool, we’re worried it’s going to stifle repairs.

        @iFixit That choice of background music is *chef's kiss*.

        Also, I believe the Alt text should reflect that fact, it ads SO much to the description!
