Newbie F90 Questions Before Purchase

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Considering the M5 and E63S. Still torn and know you can't really go wrong - However, number of posts on the E63S forums that indicate the car is having gremlins/QA issues.

Few questions for F90 owners.

1. Can you disable Auto Start/Stop and have it remember it between driving? Does it remember last driving mode (like M1/2) or does it default to Comfort each start?

2. Is the piped-in exhaust note over the stereo a plus or minus? Seems cheesy. If you replace the exhaust with aftermarket, does that go away?

3. Do the seat bolster hold you in enough? Are they adjustable?

Thanks

1. Can you disable Auto Start/Stop and have it remember it between driving? Does it remember last driving mode (like M1/2) or does it default to Comfort each start?

Yes, the car will remember the last setting on the Start/Stop. Unfortunately, it does not remember the driving modes, so it will always default to comfort.


2. Is the piped-in exhaust note over the stereo a plus or minus? Seems cheesy. If you replace the exhaust with aftermarket, does that go away?

This is personal preference.


3. Do the seat bolster hold you in enough? Are they adjustable?

Yes and yes.

Yes auto start/stop, no driving mode

Plus, for me. I love it.

3. Do the seat bolster hold you in enough? Are they adjustable?
Yes, and very very adjustable
Thanks

Auto start/stop on American spec. cars will remember last setting but European spec. won't, I'm guessing due to different law.

Both great cars but if you have to choose between the two the F90 definitely.
