as the person above u pointed out, those are not exclusive issues to m50i, or even x5. nonetheless, they are issues, and thus bad things, that one shall know and consider when buying it, vs buying a different car.

without re-posting what i wrote before, here are some of my biggest complaints:

key/account/profile is confusing and unnecessary
tech is full of bugs. drive recorder, bmw connect app, carplay, either break and require reboot or don't work at all
seat ventilation is useless (see the tread i started)
built in navi does not accept a new home address even though google map api already does for more than 10 months. bmw navi obviously has online capability so not sure why it can't fall back to google api when its built in db yields no record?

dont get me wrong it's still better than all other suvs in its class that's why i bought it.
