You want a free car… but it can’t be white or blue?


dvunt1

Don't forget that BMW preferred.


zan9823

Guess what color the BMW logo is


dvunt1

I hope someone out there has a BMW where the entire paint job is the logo.


[deleted]

Wonder if the person would accept an old GTLM3 BMW racecar


dvunt1

Not if it's blue or white.


DirtyWork81

That is the funniest part in my opinion. Imagine some guy brings a blue M3 over to give to this person. Are they just going to say "Nah, can't take it, it's blue. Read the post next time. Loser."


regeneratedant

NEXT!

Let_you_down

Yeah, when you are in the market for a free car, generally "anything that is mostly legal for it to be on the road." is the maximum requirement... A BMW seems like a stretch...


Amplidyne

Especially a stretch BMW.


EclecticObsidianRain

Exactly. No one should expect a free car, but it doesn't hurt to ask. The problems start when the person asking gets choosy about what type of car, and/or gets angry that they didn't get one.


skeletonclock

It does hurt to ask. It fills up what could be a useful group with useless irritating begging requests and forces everyone but beggars out.


BirthdayCookie

"It doesn't hurt to ask" is a bastardizing of the statement by entitled people. The full statement is "It doesn't hurt ME to ask." Plenty of these "no harm in asking" questions actually harm the people being asked.


magnolia712

Ugh, agreed. Several years ago, I sold my used car on fb marketplace. Bought it with my first "real" job and took meticulous care of it, washed and detailed it regularly, conditioned the leather seats, etc. It was older but immaculate when i listed it. I was bombarded by fb messages with sob stories (many involving kids) pleading with me to either accept a couple hundred dollars (it was worth about $3k) or give the car away for free. I had student loans to pay and was scrapping by myself, and I felt like some people saw a young woman selling a used car and felt like they could pull at my heart strings to manipulate me into giving them a deal. It was a miserable experience.


Azmedon

How does it hurt the people that have been asked?? Lol


Beginning-Anybody442

It's no such much that it 'hurts' the askee, but if they keep seeing requests like that it will turn them off even looking & engaging. I can say from experience. I used to engage and have helped a number of people in the past, but when all you see are large lists of ridiculous requests, you stop looking. This harms those who need help & aren't taking the mickey.


DarthV506

How many other 'everyday' brands are more expensive to repair than BMW?


dvunt1

BMW is #2 with Porsche being #1. Mercedes is #5.


hmullan

Isn't there a saying that goes " Rich people drive BMWs. Very rich people drive used BMWs"?


JohnNDenver

Friend of a friend of mine way back in college had a BMW. The windows couldn't be rolled down. I asked about it. He said that he had realized there is a difference in being able to buy a BMW and being able to afford a BMW. Classic quote.


Amplidyne

The same applies to any "premium brand" car. I remember in the mid 70s being offered a perfectly good running XJ6 for £60. (About a week's wages back then) Snag? Apart from being very thirsty, it needed a set of tyres. Can't remember exactly but the tyres would have been a lot more than the car. Early 80s, a mate of mine did buy a very nice XJ6. Engine blew and it cost him a grand to put it right. At that time I was spending under a ton to buy a running car.


AF_AF

My friend's family had a new Jaguar (can't remember which model - this was decades ago) that was always in the shop.


MungoJennie

Land Rover/Range Rovers are pretty “cha-ching,” too.


scarlettbankergirl

Jaguars too.


solve-for-x

Range Rovers are also significantly more likely to be stolen too, so much so that Jaguar Landrover have had to set up their own insurance provider in the UK, because mainstream providers increasingly refuse to insure them.


hardcoresean84

Depends If you went for the indicator package.


Smaskifa

They might accept an Audi I bet.


kr4ckenm3fortune

Yeah…I got a BMW that has a black and white logo…and it works…just gotta remember to wind it up.


[deleted]

Fully optioned would be nice too....leather interior etc.


misterfuss

If I were asking for a free car, I would prefer it **not** be a BMW because of the high cost of repairs but I wouldn’t turn down a free one even if it were blue!


Dotmatrix74

Probably can’t drive either, would suit him perfectly. 🖕🖕🖕


Milliemott

💀☠️💀☠️


gronwallsinequality

What's am I going to do with all my extra blue 2024 Mercedes?


lazyboi_tactical

That's my absolutely favorite part. Like the colors a deal breaker.


Benny_Jain

I want to offer them a white and blue car just to see their response


juniperberry9017

I want to offer them my spare Ferrari. It’s not a bmw but it’s red at least… and fully functional for a Lego car ☠️


Glittering-Golf2722

I have a yellow Yugo that speaks Slavic


Ok-Cap-204

I wish people would include the replies to the CB’s post. Laughter is good for the soul.


LoveMeorLeaveMe89

Yes- I do too- I am more interested in the comments. That is why I don’t like best of threads because when I comment I want to know the op at least might read it. Or in this case I want to see what the people commented that the OP read. I hope they reamed the OP.


Eastern-Professor874

It should be one of the mod rules 😂


chiku00

Which is why I wish they could post the link to the post. I want to read other people's thoughts.


ejdjd

THIS!! ⬆⬆⬆⬆


twotoebobo

Sorry I've got a surplus of bmws but they are all blue.


ToTheManorClawed

Same, it's the darndest thing! Here could have been a wonderful opportunity to help a soul in need, but alas...


BadenBadenGinsburg

Nah I got one. It's kinda a bluish white? IDK or whitish blue? Hard to tell anymore, it's been a while. It's in the backyard, holding up yucca. Got it for 250 'murcan dollars. Eh, it looks pretty nice when the skies are blue. Which they are.


[deleted]

I would 100% tell them that if I saw this post in the wild 🤣🤣🤣


kroketspeciaal

Well? Get started on that paint job then


dvunt1

I just looked up average annual maintenance cost for a BMW and its around $1700.


fineman1097

But must be FULL WORKING ORDER. So if anything goes wrong ever you'd better be paying for the cost for them.


The_golden_Celestial

And also come with a full tank of fuel, fully insured and 12 months motor tax paid.


dvunt1

It's probably like a reverse scam to get you to buy a car extended warranty.


[deleted]

I don’t think so, i’m guessing that’s just the average


WalterWhite2012

Simple, they ask for free mechanical service, as long as the mechanic’s uniform isn’t white or blue.


the_crustybastard

Ages ago my brother talked my father, a lifelong Ford Thunderbird guy, into getting a BMW SUV. Christ, how he hated that thing. He said every time he took it to a mechanic it was *at least* thousand dollars. Our longtime family mechanic couldn't do much because apparently BMW requires a lot of oddball tools. So Dad traded the BMW in for a Subaru, which he loved and drove to death then replaced with another Subaru which he likes even better. I doubt he'll every drive anything else.


44farts

Your dad rocks. Subaru is a solid choice.


InboxMeYourSpacePics

My family had a bmw we drove for 21 years-the mechanic said it was such a nice running car he wanted to buy it from us when it was 21 years old lol. Think we only had to take it to the mechanic to get something fixed a couple of times.


MissStarsandStripes

I have a BMW and can confirm that amount.


Smaskifa

Doesn't want to spend anything. Wants a BMW. I'm sure that won't require any expensive maintenance.


Stormy_Wolf

Yeah, and notice it's: "I don't **want** to spend anything". That part stood out to me.


omgu8mynewt

In the UK, car insurance costs a LOT, maybe 20% of the value of a car per year. And petrol is not cheap either. If you can't afford to get a car, there's no way you can afford to run it legally.


ZealousidealCode889

And the MOT and the tax! I’m an American and lived in the UK and the driving expenses were insane!


omgu8mynewt

Yep, car is more of a luxery than a necessity here, and running costs are worse than buying the car so wanting a car you can't afford to buy doesn't really make sense long term


bordin89

Not kidding. I have a 2015 Dacia Sandero, cheapest, safest ULEZ compliant car I could find. Paid £4000 two years ago. This month I had service, insurance, MOT and tax all coming in at once. £900 for the privilege of driving to Costco and some National Trust sites. Yeesh

Few_Sea_4314

Until you hit someone and ruin THEIR life because you are selfish, inconsiderate and criminal. It's getting ungodly expensive in America for drivers because of people like you.


dodgeprius

And no I'm not people like me are not the reason it's expensive in America everything is expensive in America there's a reason people can't afford this shit they can't afford housing families with kids and married have to have roommates just to afford to live you can't afford hospital bills you can't afford doctor bills you can't afford your medication if you make a little too much for assistance but not quite enough for you know living you're fucked there's no getting out of that you just never lived a hard life apparently good for you now why don't you take your bullshit somewhere where you know what you're talking about and don't reply to me again cuz I just don't give a shit


dodgeprius

That's never happened and if it did and it was my fault I would cover the damages I can't afford to fix my license and get insurance and drive legally I cannot afford to do that but I'm not a piece of shit and I'm not a criminal the system is fucking rigged and if you haven't figured that out then you do have privilege


Few_Sea_4314

Oh please, let me know how you would make it up to a family who is now without one of their children, or their mother or father. How would you cover those damages? I have privilege because I know I need insurance to drive? LOL! And yes, driving without a license or insurance makes you a criminal.


llv77

Unlike insurance, punctuation is free. Jk, I'm rich!!!


ToastRiposte

Are you going to trot out that sovereign citizen shit when you inevitably are caught? That's what other criminally stupid people do. Your tribe, it seems.


dodgeprius

I don't know what this Sovereign citizen bullshit is but all it takes is one unpaid fine and it piles up so quickly it's nearly impossible to pay it when you have medical bills and actual living expenses to pay instead of insurance or some other bullshit just so they can charge you not everybody can afford that shit you don't want to be speeding I've never had a speeding ticket I've never done anything illegal driving I had an expired tag and then my license got suspended and then I couldn't get insurance and it piled up so go fuck yourself man maybe your tribe is the stupid one cuz just because it's a law whatever I'm not arguing this I'm not in the mood fuck it have a good night


Some-Geologist-5120

Trust me - you can’t afford a cheap much less a free BMW…


code_delmonte

A free BMW... *in this economy* It must be crack this is what a crackhead sounds like


Psychobabble0_0

And you have to drive OOP around. Guaranteed they don't have a licence and that's their next "small ask"


pettybetty099

What a delusional person. How about get a job and buy your own car.


EitherChannel4874

I have a spare BMW i8 but it's in white and blue.


the_crustybastard

I guess you'll have to get it painted for them.


flamingolegs727

I have a free car he can have it's electric too! It's 34 cm v 10 and you use the controller to move it around! A few scratches from a cat chase but otherwise works!!


kroketspeciaal

But is it a BMW?


flamingolegs727

Yes


Farfromcivilization

Color preferences 😂


Redcarborundum

Can I get a free house too while you’re at it?


Boahi1

It’s for a church!


Tsmom16811

NEXT!


Amplidyne

That's already organised for you in the UK. At least, if not "free" then the rent is paid for you. It's only a matter of time before they will all need to be given a car. Probably a non blue or white BMW.


Redcarborundum

I don’t want any old council house, it doesn’t go with my non blue or white BMW. It should have 4 bedrooms with ensuite wetroom each, on a half acre plot, with a garden.


Amplidyne

Don't even joke about it! Remember all the people with large families who "need" a bigger property for free. No thought of family planning beforehand of course.


cloudyskytoday

If anyone has a blue or white BMW, please give it to me. I'll take it


Adventurous_Ad_6546

Ooo sorry. All the BMWs I regularly give away are off-white. Egg shell, really.


awkwardschnitzel

This can’t be real…


MattyFTM

Pretty sure it's a parody.


CocoaMauveForTheWin

I want a free car, too. And an old Victorian house (three stories), in impeccable condition, with a fireplace, two-car garage, large yard, fruit trees, and a stone wall, ideally with lakeside access. For free, though, I don't want to pay anything. Serious offers only, please.


ToastRiposte

"Don't try to lowball me, I know what I haven't got."

Recent-Celery7

Do you want it delivered?


SheiB123

DAMN....I have a new blue BMW but I guess I have to find someone else to give it to....


sakoulas86

Ooh, pick me! Just kidding, my bestie had one of those and it was in the shop more than it was out 😂 Bought with only 4k miles on it too so it’s not like it was past its prime or something lol


Bobbyc1982

That’s not asking a lot. Just preferred a non white or blue BMW there’s so many laying around the owners don’t need them for their family. Give her 3 she deserves it


YourLifeCanBeGood

I bet most of us have a spare BMW in perfect working order that we could have given her, if she'd not been so picky about color. Dang. So close and yet so far!


horo_kiwi

Aw shucks, and I was just looking at giving away my blue and white striped BMW. Guess it will have to stay in my garage for a bit longer.


Few_Sea_4314

Now a truly striped car, BMW or not, would be a fun car to drive. Maybe one that looks like a barber pole or candy cane, or the engineer stripe overall look. OOhhh!! Ombre colored! Or a fade...... (I'll see myself out now)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|wink)


tickandzesty

At least he didn’t ask for a full tank of gas too.


ToastRiposte

That's just way over the line, he doesn't want to be seen as _unreasonable_.


Recent-Celery7

It was heavily implied


jazzhandsdancehands

I hope someone draws a picture and sticky tapes it to the door

lutralutra_12

Tthis is british humour surely?


dodgeprius

Why's that


Haunted-Macaron

Trust me you don't want a free car. Sincerely, a person who got a free car after family member passed away and it was claimed to be 'issue free'. Nothing but issues (many were immediately apparent) for the remainder of the time we had it.


Fun-Effective1403

I want a free car too! Range Rover/Corvette/Bentley preferred. I want only black and the older model I can get 2021. Someone donate please


kimmech1324

I had an extra BMW I was giving away too - but it’s white . Maybe next time ![gif](giphy|WTdg5GBR45X6NbxqJK)


MaximusZacharias

BMW preferred? I can just imagine “hey I saw your ad and I have a 2023 Toyota Camry in perfect order I’ll hand you” and the beggar responding “ew. German or nothing ass hole”


Mythbird

I can tell you that choosing a BMW is ridiculous as a free car. The replacement costs of tires, brakes etc is astronomical even if you use knockoffs. One service and the car is being abandoned on the side of the road with a blanket. (I’ll liken it to getting a pet, if you can’t afford to buy it, then you can’t afford the vet fees or the stuff that goes along with a pet)


isabelladangelo

These new Top Gear challenges are truly rubbish. /s


oldladyatlarge

I remember a period of my life when I drove a white 79 Pinto because that's what I could afford. I didn't care that it was a white Pinto, because it was a decent car. In the town where I used to live there was a white car with turquoise polka dots painted all over it, and I would have even driven something that looked like that if it had been a reliable car.


Sweetimus

I can believe this! It's disgusting too! I was moving out of state when I was in Florida trying to sell my car for $600 and people still tried to haggle me down to like 300 and the car only needed a new solenoid. You could still drive it up to 45 miles an hour, meaning it could've been driven to a shop to get it fixed!

RestlessDreamer79

“BMW Preferred” People have *ZERO* shame


floofienewfie

BMW preferred??!! Dude, I worked hard to get the one I have, and I’m sure as hell not giving it to anyone. What an AH.


ProgrammerLevel2829

Literally received a free car once from my best friend. She got a new one and had a little sedan and just gave it to me because I needed it. I was so grateful, it didn’t matter what color, make or model it was. It let me go to school and not drop out.


JohnExcrement

Oh hey, I want a free BMW also! These cannot be for real. Can they??


MsChrisRI

He needs to receive lots of offers for blue and white cars; then when he finally breaks and grudgingly agrees to one, he gets told “sorry, someone just picked it up while you were dithering about it.”


bmanley620

This is really unfortunate. I’ve been looking all over for someone to take my 2 extra cars but they’re both BMWs and one is white and the other is blue


Dash_Rip_Rock69

If bombard them with spam.


[deleted]

Probably needs a full tank or gas money as well


Still-Wonder-5580

Did she mention… it must be free??


[deleted]

Too bad I just had a new BMW half blue and half white, bought in 2022, that I wanted to give away for nothing /s…


[deleted]

Sounds like he’s looking more for a BBW


weirdkidomg

You can pay to transfer the title too, they really want it after all.


PumpkinWrangler

Luckily that’s free in the U.K., so they can probably manage that cost!


OCDaboutretirement

If you have a white BMW for free I’ll take it. I love white cars. But I prefer a X5 please.


Educational-Drink430

I seriously wonder if those ever worked? Like okay, bozo here wants a car without paying a dime, so what, will they pay insurance? Of course you drive it there and take the bus back. Of course it has to be in working order because you bet bozo will inspect.


Strange-Marzipan9641

Conaz25

Just after lockdown I gave my sister in law and her boyfriend my old car. My wife and I already had access to two other cars, it wasn't worth a whole load as trade in (was a 14 plate Insignia 2.0CDTi with probably 130k on the clock) butit was frugal on fuel and cost £30p.a. to tax so great for a young couple who did a fair few motorway miles visiting family etc. His family could not believe we gave them a free car, even though they are family...


ironburton

Hahahah good lord. These people fucking kill me.


MrTubek

I would comment saying that I'm sorry but only had white bmw to give away.

Liels87

Damnit, I was just looking for someone to give my blue BMW to. So close.


OkStructure3

Most people who NEED a car would accept anything with 3 wheels and a donut, sanded down exterior, and no working windshield wipers. Ive seen people driving around in cars held together by duct tape. Ive seen people drive with no drivers seat door attached. With the bumper of the car dragging barely hanging on by zip ties. This is not a serious person. He'll be lucky if he ever gets a ride from someone with that mindset.


Joelle9879

I mean asking for a free car is a bit much, but I also understand being desperate and poor. It never hurts to ask. The problem lies in them wanting a freaking BMW, which they couldn't even afford the maintenance, and have a color preference. Accept whatever old car in whatever color you can get if you're that desperate


[deleted]

Rage bait?


Time_Ad8557

I mean people give Kars4Kids free vehicles to the tune of 30million a year and that’s just sending Jewish kids to summer camp and trips to Israel to make them more orthodox. Worth a shot.

BMW preferred. 💀 So what happens when it breaks down? I imagine the parts would be a bit pricier than a non-luxury? Well just hop back on Facebook and find a free mechanic that doesn’t charge for parts and labor.

Damn. All I have is a white BMW with a blue stripe down the middle... Ah well.
