Maybe this is the reason...

^^ This!!! That's the one thing I miss about my old CTSV. Neither my F10 or F90 does this.

By moving the seat back I feel like I could get out of the car a little easier without rubbing the side bolster. The steering wheel moving up does help a little.

For me it is a bit more difficult because the seat goes way too far back... as if the B pillar get's in the way.

Not sure if this is a commonly known one. But if you put the car in sport plus then hold the up paddle before starting the car it starts with a louder startup.

Wondering if anyone else has these issues.

1. Does your dimmer switch not change the instrument display at all? Mines doesn't seem to work.

2.the trim pieces rattle/creek when you go over bumps? Sounds like very cheap plastic creaking. Very disappointed with such a pricey car.

I tried this over the weekend. It yields the exact same result for me as just putting the engine in Sport+ mode before starting. No need to hold the up paddle.

Not sure if it’s a common knowledge as well but if you hold the down paddle before starting the car, it will self reverse out of the parking spot and add 16 extra horses in Sport mode.

Same here. I have personally tried this half a dozen times and came to the conclusion that the comment on the video is false (along with some others…). Therefore, adjusting the revs in launch control mode is just not possible.

In my old F10, when switching the car off and opening the door, the music, radio, etc, whatever you have playing would continue to play, until you have locked the car.

In the F90, you switch the car off, but as soon as you open the door, music, radio, etc switches off.

Not a major issue, but a bit annoying. Even my kids noticed this! And there seems to be no setting in the iDrive to adjust this!

It is adjustable in iDrive. Mine is set to stay on until locked or timed out.

If you downshift using the paddles while in auto mode, the car will automatically go back to auto mode vs staying in manual. This differs from my ‘16 M3 with DCT.

I find this car has one of the worst turning radiuses I have have seen.

I hate to be pessimistic, but it really does. But, nonetheless, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. In fact, I just had a minor issue with this issue about 5 mins ago. I had to run an errand and my wife blocked the driveway 75% or so and I had to be inventive and finagle many way out to the street.

Couple of annoying quirks on my 2020 Comp.

USB-C in between seats does not stay connected. Have to unplug and replug.

BMW Connected App - 360 camera doesn't work for IOS devices yet.

How are these items not resolved yet??

The 360 works for my iOS device. Make sure you give your car permission to share the 360 camera.
