Any issues on your new F90?

Day after getting my car the Sat Radio quit working, won't recognize the module at all. Dealer says they have to wait on new head unit from Germany... Other than that the car has been great.

Any other issues out there?

I've developed a creak in the passenger seat I can't find. Only 400 miles. Everything else great.

After 400 miles my pedestrian sensors failed. I was backing out of a tight spot and the auto break came on bringing the car to a halt. I wasn't in danger of hitting something since I was going less than 1MPH and was watching the cameras carefully. After it auto braked, I had a warning ever since and this feature is now off line. I have 500 miles on the car now and will get it checked out at 1,200 miles with the first service. Love the car, everything else is working well, but Apple Car Play which has a mind of its own. Sometimes it loads just fine, other times it locks up my iPhone X, even though the phone has the latest software. The BMW UI is great, and the BMW maps blows Apple's maps away. The voice commands work great with the BMW maps. Apple's maps suck, you can't pinch and zoom like the BMW maps, and Apple Maps don't use the the whole screen.

About 800mi for me, no issues. Running amazingly well. I opened it up for a sec during my commute this morning and WOW.

600mi and not a creak. Zero issues. Really enjoying the car much more refined vehicle than F8x. Have the B&W sound and very pleased.

B&W sound gets better every day. I do have rattles that the “haven’t paved since 76” northern California back roads beat into the car though.

Same mileage and my pedestrian sensors failed. Several other features went offline temporarily, and then everything reset and went back to normal. My CarPlay is hit or miss too. I'm in the same boat as you. Not annoying enough to worry about it until it goes in for the 1200 miler.

Do some hard stops and see if that helps.

Brought it to the dealer and they chamfered the brake pads. It is now worse. I told them to order new pads and rotors as the grinding noise is not normal and they told me to get the maintenance plan as wear and tear is not covered. Obviously the rest of the convo did not go very well for him and now I am waiting for BMW to approve the new parts.

I had a lot of issues with my X5M, BMW would just replace parts and the issue would keep coming back.

I know you had a lot of issues with your W213 E63 but overall from what I have experienced, MB build quality is way better than BMW.

I want to check how many of you have the brake squeal. This annoys the hell out of me. I had my F10 for 5 years and not a peep free the brakes . I’m at the dealer now and he says it’s a competition car and they may squeak. Well.... we’ll see if they do anything about. I’ll report back when I get back.

Does anyone know if there is a way to see/read text messages on the car screen and have the car speakers read them aloud without using Apple Car Play?

I had Apple Car Play on my Audi, and the texting was the best feature of it. My M5 I'm picking up tomorrow doesn't have the ACP, so I'm wondering if I need to buy it so that the car can read my texts aloud to me.

I’ve lived with it for 24,000 miles on my X5M. It’s brake dust. Wash the car and it’s quiet for 2-3 days. Then it’s back. I just keep them washed. 1200 miles on my M5 and it is quiet.,,,I know it’s coming.

I have an Android phone and do this. When you get the onscreen notification of a text message (assuming your phone is bluetooth-connected), just go to Notifications (I set the two-finger gesture to do this) and then click on the text message to read it, or click on text-to-voice to hear it read out loud.
