I expect either Apple or BMW will resolve the software stuff. So far, I have three problems:
1) The wireless charging pad improperly activates Apple Pay and keeps it on the screen. It seems to charge but wonder if having Apple Pay active also drains the battery. 2) Can't use any of the digital key stuff iPhone. Thought this was supposed to work with both iPhone and Android. Maybe it is supposed to be Android only. 3) Music plans just fine over Bluetooth but the car does not always display the song that is playing and sometimes messes up with playlists. Fortunately, I would expect software fixes could solve all of this. Just a matter of when. |

Weird. I don’t even get that, except on my old iPod classic, which will let me scroll but keeps turning repeat back on. What iPhone and software version are you using? |

I'm using an iPhone XS with IOS 12.1. Worked fine with the F15 I turned in yesterday. This morning I was having this weird problem with it playing these two songs over and over. Needed to reload the playlist for it to work.

Thank you for sharing your issues with BMW. This is quite common for new model cars on the first year model. Most issues will be software related so it can be easily solved by future updates.
Porsche is a more reliable brand compared to BMW and they also has various issues on their new generation Cayenne initially. Most problems will be solved after 6~12 month period. Enjoy your new vehicle! |

Looking at another study, Initial Quality Study from JD power. Posche is ranking the first in 2015, 2016, 3rd in 2017 , 4th in 2018, all ahead BMW. I say Porsche is a more reliable brand for a reason. A brand which generally has less issues on their new cars is having problems on their new models cars, so it is common and forgivable for BMW. |

My 2016 F16 continually has hiccups in the electronics. I had a salesperson tell me with my first 2007 5 series that BMW is known for their Gremlins. I laughed it off but it has proven to be mostly true. I can live with the Gremlins as long as they do not affect the driving performance. I have never had an electronic issue where it affected the drivability so far.

guys i just noticed that if Ipod is connected near wireless charge slot it works fine when you start your car but takes time to load But when you put it on side storage compartment with type C slot it dose not see it till you remove and put back.
Screen mirroring on my Android phone well still shuts down before it even searches |

So, possible the usb type-c cable/adapter is the problem? I think Apple sells ones they “certify” but others may be iffy.
