I'm hearing brake pedal noises (creaks) when applying the brakes. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Add that to the list.

I have issues with my leather door tops and dash which have ripples/wrinkles in some spots, not sure if it's a big deal or if others have the same thing

Is it normal for the hazard warning triangle to stay lit after I locked the car? Last night I noticed the switch lit up on the dashboard and then it went out after awhile. This morning I went to the car with out keys and saw it lit up again. The only other light I see is the blinking red alarm light. Is this a glitch?

Here’s a list of all interaction points that drive the customer experience - and all the points of failure
ConnectedDrive Website - Map Update Selection Labels are cryptic - I can’t select my region as a result and I don’t get the free map updates [5/23: FIXED - NEW CONNECTED DRIVE WEBSITE] - Can’t Add Newsfeeds [5/23: REMOVED - NEW CONNECTED DRIVE WEBSITE] - Can’t Add email account (for mail delivery to vehicle) [5/23: REMOVED - NEW CONNECTED DRIVE WEBSITE] - Can’t change billing info [5/23: FIXED - NEW CONNECTED DRIVE WEBSITE] - Can’t change personal info [5/23: FIXED - NEW CONNECTED DRIVE WEBSITE] - Vehicle phone number is inaccurate (see WiFi hotspot doesn’t work) [3/20: FIXED - BMW/ATT ADDRESSED] iDrive App - Ongoing problems using 3DView. You have to log out, log in. From the car, from the app, delete the app, sign back in. Maybe it worrrrrks maybe noooooot. Super fun - Connectivity issues with vehicle at purchase. Took multiple Genius calls to get my vehicle setup properly. This has been a widespread problem experienced by many. Nice first impression on pickup day. My Garage Website - Frequently down for maintenance. - Inaccurate and inconsistent production status data. Old/outdated process/steps are listed. Fairly useless and disappointing initial impression Genius Line - Genius’s computers off line - sorry, call back - Put on soundless/endless hold - dead end - Disconnected - Phone systems down Genius App - None of the videos work for the G05 (the only purpose of the app - do they test any of their software - at all?) IDrive7 - HUD forgets suppression settings for media choices and lists them all - Frequent need to reboot to connect via WiFi and Bluetooth - CarPlay disconnects and wont reconnect [3/2019.35: IMPROVED - STILL DISCONNECTS BUT LESS] - Apps wouldn’t load/update for the first 3-4 weeks of ownership [FIXED BY BMW] - WiFi hotspot doesn’t work (what a disaster that has been) [SEE ABOVE - FIXED BY BMW/ATT] - Could not get 3D view to work for a few weeks - “Store” doesn’t seem to work or link to anything [5/23: FIXED - NEW CONNECTED DRIVE WEBSITE] - There are others - I trip over so many, so often, it’s hard to remember all of them. Vehicle - Check Control: Reduced Parking Assistance (on for a few weeks - vehicle has been washed to ensure no sensor disruption) - Check Control: Chassis Limited error message (related to prior issue - going in to service in a few weeks). - Flakey comfort access. Works sometimes, doesn’t others - Ongoing squeeking noise each time the vent for internal/external air circulation opens or closes (in center console). - Steering Intervention is a lawsuit waiting to happen - In near zero temperature, the steering seems “off” - others have experienced much worse steering issues in extreme cold - Windshield seems very susceptible to chips - Harmon Kardon’s default balance/EQ settings are a joke. Sound Stage is biased to the right and front. Vocals seem to come from the passenger’s door. Getting the rear speakers involved requires some extreme settings. Sounds nice when tuned properly but WTF? - Auto Start Stop enabled by default at every start (I’ve coded off - but it’s still crappy for BMW to foist that shit on us to meet an EPA number.) 95% of this stuff is software related. I’ve mentioned in other posts. It’s a shame BMW can’t figure out how to do software - you have to actually try to be this bad. They have the hardware - they’ve nailed. Amazing. All that said - I love this car. Much is minor - most can (hopefully will) be addressed by BMW. Last edited by lumpydog; 05-23-2019 at 02:25 PM.. |

you mean the lowest Auto setting? Auto adjusts airflow to hit your desired temp ie it'll obviously be loud if your interior temp is far from the target temp so this isn't anything new. Be glad it's not the AC from the F15 X5

I don't have the issue with my Android based phone (Samsung S9+ or Note 8) so it's an Apple issue. Having a payment app open while near an NFC antenna is not the best way of doing things ie what's happening with iPhones here. I do agree that BMW should have a way of disabling this but it's not really their fault directly.

Don't forget to add non-functional cornering lights to the list!
