Joined the club, got some questions

Hi all, just took delivery of my 21 competition in MBB last night. Been driving it all just having a ball. Had a few questions for those in the know.

Brake squeak. Didn't have it initial but does now when i'm coming to a stop. Floating rotors or?

Im using my iphone as a key. I havent been able to use comfort access to lock/unlock the car and it doesn't automatically lock even though i've selected those settings, whats up?

For anybody on the fence...Get it! It's a blast and im short shifting at 4kish until the break. As an all around vehicle its spectacular.

If you love music get the B&W totally worth it. Huge upgrade over the Harmon in my 18 i3s. And really its not much for what you're getting.

Seats are comfy, im assuming they'll get better as they break in.

BMW have taken a smart approach to software/feature set. They committed to a path over a decade ago and improve the software/features by steps. This is a huge improvement over my 08 bimmer, and still a huge improvement over my 18. Really impressed with the execution.

Gonna head back out soon it's a rare sunny day in seattle. Next steps... Tint, and BBS rims. 2021! Woohoo!

Are you planning to change to winter tires given you are in Seattle?

The digital key does not work the same as the regular. It does not have proximity capability. Nor comfort access. It only works if you hold it to the door

Brake Noises are normal.. you need to brake harder in general or later. The only non-OEM option is different pads but with that come compromises.
