My G20 arrives next week.

This is going to be a long week... my 330i is expected in at the dealership early next week.

How are you guys finding your first weeks of ownership..

cant beat the excitement of a new car.

getting used to Idrive is pretty mind bending though. create a driver profile thats mapped to a key ( based off your connected drive login that the dealer should set up ) - seems to make things easier with bluetooth/contacts etc.

I've ended up using 'Hey BMW' way more than i thought, to avoid mucking around with Idrive while driving.

Congrats on the new G20. Good luck and enjoy.

I spent the first week personalising all the settings etc. Also got the windows tinted , ceramic coating done on the exterior and interior protection (for what they are worth - don't usually bother with them).

My car has now done 600km in just over two weeks. Tried to test out the laser high beam the other night on a country road but couldn't really tell when the laser kicked in on top of the LED high beam.

You're going to love it ! I've had mine 2 weeks. Didn't really drive it in the first week with all the crappy Melbourne weather. But spent the last 2 weekends in better weather going on long drives into the country. Gembrook, Healesville, bunyip Forest.

Done just under 500kms now, and used to the thick steering wheel, and power delivery - there's so much torque. I feel like you don't need to push hard at all - it's smooth AF !

Having issues with my connected drive and Apple CarPlay intermittently but hoping to get that resolved soon with an update. Also going back to the dealer next week to fix up my tint (bubbles) and redo some paint protection / detailing on the rear bar (still minor swirls and marring).

Not the best experience getting these extras added on by the dealer. Only did that to have a one stop shop and pay for convenience. Not my smartest decision in hindsight.

Ive never been a fan of the voice control, but from the little time I spent testing driving the G20 I think I probably would use it a bit more. Gesture control is actually pretty handy as well. iDrive has always been outstanding, MB and JLR were appalling

Yeah my first petrol car in a long time, so really looking forward to not having to deal with turbo lag.. Tech issues I can live with through updates. Im not as impatient as I used to be

Absolutely, will be great to be back behind the wheel of a BMW after a seven year hiatus.

Have had the car a month now. It's currently at the dealer as some clips came loose (?) - don't know exactly what happened in the sunroof visor. I was getting a rattle of some sort on bumpy roads.

They're now keeping the car the entire weekend (Friday to Monday) to fix it.

Update

Apparently they can't work out where the noise is coming from so it's still at the dealer.

They've requested BMW Australia to assist and are going through Munich for assistance !

Not happy.

Unfortunately these things happen with very first models. I'm on my fourth car that's been the very first and the Mercedes was by far the best for least amount of issues but BMW have been the best at sorting them the quickest

I'm sure they'll sort it for you pretty quickly. Auto Classic have been great with me
