Is Your Car's Tech Worth the Price? One BMW Feature Exposed as Useless

Spanish Car Review Exposes Useless BMW Feature: Is BOOST Worth the Hype? A recent video by NEEDCARHELP, a Spanish car review account, has gone viral after exposing the BMW's "BOOST" function as largely ineffective. The reviewer, whose identity is not disclosed, explains that the BOOST feature, activated by pressing a button on the steering wheel, only provides a noticeable increase in acceleration when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed. "Es puro efecto placebo," the reviewer states in the video, translating to "It's pure placebo effect." The video, which has garnered over 32,800 views in just over a day, has sparked a debate among BMW owners and car enthusiasts about the value of such features. A second individual in the video adds, "El cliente de un 992 Carrera S tampoco tiene palanca y estará contento," which translates to "A 992 Carrera S customer doesn't have a lever either, and they'll be happy." This suggests that the lack of a noticeable BOOST function might not be unique to this particular BMW model. The video serves as a reminder to consumers to carefully consider the practical value of technological features before purchasing a vehicle.
