Going home from work. I'm on the side of the road. I had my bag phone out (google it) arranging for a tow. I had several cars pull over and offer to help. It wasn't the other BMW's. It wasn't the Jag's or the Lexus. Invariably it was some beat up old truck, or some guy with a 12 year old Honda or something.

In my youth I needed jumper cables because it would happen on occasion. That's probably been 20+ years. I still carry them around. I see someone who needs a jump I pull up. It's my version of paying it forward.

so many times I have people tell me, "it started fine at home but now it just click/click/clicks. I clean the battery terminals and they are on the way.

I don't know how it works with the 2017 thru 2019 models due to their computer systems, but the rest it seems to work fine.

I guess because of that big-ass battery!
