Buying a new car can be both an exhausting and rewarding experience. The car buying process typically will entail hours of research and multiple test drives. But when you finally decide to move forward with one, all the work becomes worth it\u2014or at least it should.<\/p>\n
Content creator Meme (@scaredandsobbing) shares her excitement of getting a new BMW. However, the excitement was short lived after trying to customize her vehicle. She documents her issue in a TikTok that has generated over 171,800 views as of this writing.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the grace of god I got a vehicle. Woohoo! Anyways I\u2019m sitting here and I\u2019m like \u2018I wanna personalize it. I wanna customize it. I wanna do a little coding. Play with the setting a little bit to see what I could do,\u2019\u201d Meme begins.<\/p>\n
Then something went wrong.<\/p>\n
\u201cI press start engine and the engine is just stalling,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
In a text overlay, she adds, \u201cBought a car and bricked it within 48 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n
BMW Panic<\/p>\n
Meme says she started to panic that she may have messed with the code too much. She tried to turn off the engine and it continued to stall. After three presses, the BMW<\/a> turned completely off. So she waited five minutes to try again, only to get the same result.<\/p>\n \u201cI decided to play around with the setting and make the car undrivable,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Meme then shares that her BMW is parked behind her father\u2019s car which means she\u2019ll have to break the news to him sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m gonna have to call the tow truck because I am parked behind him. So the tow truck is going to come and I am going to tell the man, \u2018listen I\u2019m gonna throw in an extra $100, drop me off somewhere and I am going to start a new life. Because there is no way,\u2019\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Why Did The BMW Get Bricked?<\/p>\n Comments included a lot of speculation.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, there are no settings you can access in the car\u2019s menus that would make the engine stall. Car manufacturers would not put anything in the menus that would allow consumers to \u2018total\u2019 their cars just by pressing a few buttons. You probably just ran the battery down sitting there playing with it without the engine running,\u201d one person guessed.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously she was using BimmerCode bro,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n \u201cYou said coding, which leads me to believe you\u2019re using BimmerCode. You should have a backup of all the car’s original settings before you start messing with it in your files somewhere,\u201d a second agreed.<\/p>\n What Is BimmerCode?<\/p>\n
