Video in motion for the kids.

I enjoyed ripping cocomelon shows to a flash drive for them to watch.

I never played around with the resolution. Right now all the YouTube videos have black bars on each side. What is the best resolution to resize the videos to?

Also does anyone have a recommendations where to download movies from? My oldest (15) is not a fan of the cocomelon and child shows lol

It seems like 1300x520 makes it happy. I downloaded that one from youtube too. I was surprised that it would fill up the display. I thought it would be limited by the system like MB.

It’s my wife’s, but when I drive it’s the Acoustic glass, so quiet.

I like the feeling of enough torque to pull away from lights in electric mode (45e), and feel like you're getting good (and silent) acceleration, even in a stupid heavy vehicle.

I also like the comfort seats, even though the massage is a little weak imho, and the heated steering wheel and armrests is an unexpectedly nice perk. Also, having the nav directions in the HUD (when using the built-in nav) is surprisingly convenient.

While I understand this forum is the “enthusiasts who buy cars to DRIVE not drive themselves” crowd, DAP has been a very pleasant surprise. I optioned it because its 2022 and I’m not a luddite; but overall I thought it was be of marginal use.

I couldn’t have been more wrong. I find I use it anytime I’m on a freeway; it just makes life easier. I don’t find it intrusive like some and I think BMW implementation of this tech is much better than average (I’ve not driven everything, but its a good balance IMO.)

Very underrated feature, IMO.

After reading 3Wagon's post, I actually had to google it... I was under the impression that this option could only be used for speed under 40mph. Am I correct? In any case, I do wish I had this option when being stuck in the traffic after a long work day.

Spend a lot of time on interstate highways. Love the acceleration, handling, looks and ride comfort.

There are two things: DAPro, and then there’s traffic Jam Assist, which is < 40. I use the DAPro - the enhanced cruise control w/ LKA etc all the time. Basically, after I got through break in, I haven’t been on a freeway w/o using it.
