  That MR2 is sitting in the back and looking at the Supra like: "Kids are so fragile these days."

  It's always entertaining watching someone else struggle with German cars.

  The fact that you didn&apos;t curse like a sailor is entertaining in itself. You have the patience of a saint.

  BMW managed to over complicate a simple door-latch that can make the car inoperable. Truly marvelous engineering 👏🏽

  Classic example of an engineer that pulls their pants off to fart.

  I asked my high school buddy why he has 5 BMWs. He said he needs that many so he can have one running to drive.

  I like how the video to change the door latch on a bmw is longer than the video where he removes, disassembles, and reassembles the entire engine of a tacoma.

  I am an automotive engineer and you summarized perfectly the German mindset. &nbsp;Complexity for complexity sake. &nbsp;It is in fact the BMW business model.<br>Now you have to ask yourself, why? &nbsp;Are German engineers dumb people? &nbsp;I have worked with many German engineers. &nbsp;They are not dumb. &nbsp;So why? &nbsp;Complexity exists for profit and as it turns out, it is sometimes harder to design something simple to perform the same task.<br>As to why Toyota adopted BMW door architecture and not a LC500 door structure you referenced? Simple. The latch switch is part and parcel of the BMW harness which utilizes BMW body control modules. &nbsp;The Supra as you point out is a BMW through and through. &nbsp; A LC500 door architecture which is much simpler and even more elegant in design is incompatible with BMW&apos;s BCM&apos;s.<br>The deceitful world we live in if not smart enough to understand &apos;many&apos; modern cars are designed with excessive complexity for profit and replacement part sales out of warranty.<br>It has grown, much worse in the last even 5 years. &nbsp;Hybrids with redundant drivelines aka two powertrains in one automobile are an absolute joke and automaker money grab.<br>Hard to buy a good, simple analog car now. &nbsp;Automakers know the public is ignorant and take advantage of this fact.
