Love it: The M buttons! So easy to get the car into the mode I want. Performance and handling! Car is a joy to drive.

Not worth it: Wireless charging, awkward place + too small for my Pixel 6 Pro phone (even without the case).

Could do without: Heated seats/steering wheel, massage seats (could have reduced some weight?). Gesture control (that was faulty when I bought the car). I wish the engine cooling did not need fan to come on after I switch off the engine even with ambient temp in the mid 60F and without spirited driving.

too many to list but here’s some unique ones:

Pros: seat extender, assisted driving good for longer trips, drive recorder

Cons: useless charging location, wish dash was more configurable, brake dust

Like: Programable M1/M2 buttons on wheel.

Dislike: school bus brakes-squeak at every stop. BMW says this is by design.

Like: Radar Cruise Control

Dislike: minimum distance of radar cruise control is TOO far from vehicle in front out you, perfect 'cut you off distance.'

For you boys with the funny looking dash I guess... the OG dash is always in M Mode

I thought he was referring to the drive modes.

OG Dash > LCI Dash, no argument about that lol.

Arrow Brakes!

For those with excessive brake noise and dust, I've been running these pads (https://acgautomotive.com/product/bm...-complete-set/) for ~5,000 miles with no issues at all.

No more embarrassing moments pulling up to stop lights or going through drive-thrus.

I'd highly recommend them!

I like the break squeak.

Like most things about the car -- power, styling, spaciousness

Hate with a passion: that tacky ass interior trim. I keep hoping someone could find an acceptable wrap or something but nothing doing it seems

Could be worth checking out, but had a bunch of the people on here who have had aftermarket pads (all diff brands) who seem to do well for the first 5-10,000 miles then the squeals re-appear.

Sucks because if it does work, I would do it in a heart beat, only issue is I have the extended service plan that pays for brakes and everything else, and Ive tried multiple times to see if they could replace them with something different or if I bought aftermarket pads to swap, and they say no. And sucks I would have to pay for aftermarket install and parts when its free for the OEM, they just suck. (at noise and dust, they dont suck in terms of performance)

Definitely love the lock button on the trunk lid. And I have _never_ gotten the foot trunk open to work. Ever. I've just given up on it.

Like: being able to use my iPhone as a car key

Dislike: Apple Maps won't display on the main menu screen, you have to be in car play, full screen for maps to display

I've had to stew over this for a few days

Favorite feature: a tie between the moment I mash the gas and get pinned into my seat- and walking up to the car, having it unlock and the L lights glow, M seat lights on. Such a welcoming feeling.

Least favorite: the worst AC and ventilated seats I've had.

I had a macan as a loaner from Porsche, and a 330i from BMW in the last 2 months both cars put the f90 to shame. I froze in the 330i and my back went numb in the macan.

+1 on the seat lights. Everyone always comments on that with me, and I totally forgot to mention them on my post in this thread.
