Hi there - do we know if valet mode will be a feature on the idrive 9. I find it crazy that older models have this but not the newest models.

My M3 arrived at Bremmerhaven today, final destination BMW Performance Center, Spartanburg SC. Anyone out there in the same or similar delivery slot or recent East Coast delivery that can comment on timing moving forward?

Anyone had similar experiences? What can I do?

Miles Driven: 341.3 Range left:41 Total gallons filled up: 14.097 341.3/14.097 ‎ = 24.211 mpg But my car says my mpg is 29

Just got it with 9000

Hi! I'm planning on buying an BMW X1 and have the following options with similar pricing:

1. New 2024 X1 with convinience package - MSRP $39K after discounts

2. Certified Pre-Owned 2023 X1 with premium package - MSRP $38K - 10K miles

My primary concern is whether I should put higher importance on having the first 3 years covered by BMW (they have a complimentary service program for the first 3 years) + security of owning a brand new car vs. having more features in a car.

I guess I don't know how to put a dollar figure on the first 3 years of maintenance.

The differences in financing don't worry me as much because I can put a larger deposit to offset the higher interest in buying used.

Have you been in this situation before? What option would you recommend?

Hi, My family just bought a 2018 X3M40i and it does not have carplay or android auto. Is there a way I could possibly code this is? maybe using bimmer code or something similar?

What is your go-to tire? I have offset rims/tires and ice is quickly approaching. When I had a Golf R, I really loved the Nokians but I’m curious if y’all have had better luck with different tires.

Hey everyone,

I'm in the market for a new car and want something with a little HP. Use to race cars when I was younger and my previous car was a Q50 Sport.
Right now i drive a 21 4runner nightshade and as much as I love it, I miss having some power when I want it and started looking at new cars. The m340 hits all the needs and wants I just don't know how I feel about the front end.

Any m340 owners here? Would you recommend it as a everyday car?

I have gotten an alter to check my tire pressure but I thought this seems natural? I should mention I am sub zero temperature right now. There are some options to reset tire settings but I don’t wanna screw something up.

Going to look at a 2008 128i, had 146k miles $4800. What are some things I should look out for during the test drive?

Drove a few x3 30i g01 last week, I gotta admit that the ride is smoooooth !

I’ve extensively driven the glc300 and boy ! That thing feels slow and rough compared to the bmw.

Best part is when I realized i was driving a 4 cylinder when I thought it was an inline 6 !!!!!!!!

What’s bmw secret to make a 4 cylinder this smooth ?🫠 I WANNA KNOW

I want to join the Beamer crew now 🫢

I drive a 2020 7 series and I'm just wondering why is BMW so restrictive with their ambient lighting options? From what I understand the lighting is just RGB strips that can be changed to pretty much any color in bimmercode, however, I'd rather not do this because I don't want to void the warranty. Is there any way to unlock more colors?

I want the map orientation to always face north. I can change this in map settings on the Infotainment Display (screen in center console), but the change doesn't reflect in the Instrument Cluster (screen behind wheel and on the heads-up display). Is there a way to make the Instrument Cluster also display a north-facing map?

Ok looks like a deal. Currently 39 degrees in the am where I am. The cold doesn’t bother me. My last car had remote start so I kinda got used to it. I woulda thought a bmw would come with this feature due to everything being extremely digital

Sometimes it’s refreshing to see someone who is content with their purchase and hangs onto it until it dies or isn’t worth the maintenance anymore. Hopping car to car every 3-5 years is pretty consumerist and “keeping up with the joneses”. Any single owners that can share pics, records and their story? :)

Hello all, I have a g20 330i xDrive (2021) and recently it receives a message saying automatic pdc parking assistance malfunction. it only ever happens when im about to park or getting out of parking, so basically when going from reverse to drive. It then plays the forsaken BMW chime, and then goes away once I reach a high enough speed, but happens without fail. I tried cleaning the censors and windshield but it still occurs. I do not know how to get rid of it and would love help as it is very annoying.

Dealer I’m looking at has 3 very similar spec’d new 2024 M8’s (all 3 MSRPs are within $1500 of each other). Their initial offer is 6.41% off MSRP (plus $11k in rebates on offer this month).

Wondering if that’s decent or if I should ask for more off, since they are last year’s model and they have 3 of them still (actually 4 but one is grand coupe which I’m not interested in myself).

Yo guys im looking to buy my next car, thinking about this amazing car right now.

161000 kilometers, but at a fairly low price. Is this something i could look into more? Or a definite avoid? Also if the mileage aint that bad, what should i be looking out for before going forward with it? Thanks in advance!

Hey folks,

Just bought a 2019 440xi Msport. I did the inspection myself (OBD, visual, mechanical) but I missed checking the door unlock because it was kept unlocked for me. I heard the beep and ticked it off in my checklist. My mistake. Can't go back to them immediately because they're 3+ hours away.

Both driver and passenger doors do not unlock with the remote or with comfort access. The car beeps, I hear a faint click like a relay but the lock pin on the door does not move up. Has to be unlocked by inserting the key into the door barrel. Weirdly, locking with the remote and comfort access seems to be working. Although, locking drivers side via remote/comfort does not seem to lock the passenger side.

I suspect it's the actuator, but both doors dying simultaneously is a bit of a stretch. Any tips or advice?

Also, if you know any non dealer bmw specialists in or around the Philly region, please let me know. I do most of the work on my cars so I don't feel like paying the premium at the dealership. TIA :)

am I an idiot for thinking about getting PPF for frozen pure grey paint? just the front bumper/fenders/hood.

surely it won't look and feel the same after PPF?
