Huh weird that the german Autoindustrie is losing share on international markets
Bunch of white old dudes evermore "improving" this 10- years obsolete technology.

@iFixit most of capitalist "innovation" is just clever ways to extract more wealth from people.

This is about loosening a bolt, not about losing share on markets.

Don't overlook the spelling of "to lose" and "to loosen".

@iFixit *if* this happens the Europeans will be able to buy the tools (right to repair directive means tools will be available).

And then a Chinese shop front on Alibaba will sell bits and we are back to the same state as before.

Or it'll not happen because BMW don't want to spend the money on new duplicate tooling for their production line for an incredibly price sensitive market
