Windows/doors/trunk open/closed status, any stats I can see in iDrive, and I'd like to have a ton more controls from the app. Essentially I want the app to be an extension of iDrive.

Having non-grabby brakes is even more important on a performance car where precise modulation is key. Grabby brakes have nothing to do with stopping power.

Sometimes OEMs do give grabby brakes to fool consumer into thinking the brakes are powerful. Same with aggressive throttle tip-in to make people think it's "peppy" on a test drive. IME, BMW does not do that.


OP - have you tried doing a series of hard braking? Performance brakes benefit from getting some heat in them every once in a while. Both my M and P cars get grabby if I baby them for too long. Normal driving is not sufficient heat for an M car.

No complaints

I don’t understand what the mention of the seat is about? The gestures will sometimes shut off the stereo if you move your hands there too much but rarely. I like the gesture that gives you the best route home from wherever you are. The brakes could not be any better, perfect is hard to improve on. The auto pilot in stop and go traffic works great.
