I'm back to BMW with a new G20 330i M Sport (I had a F30 3 series about 5 years ago)

What a car! The 330i engine is impressive, fun and even sounds great and has all the power i'll need (In the UK)

Handling is so much better than my previous F30 abd the build quality inside and out is greatly improved! Only in the first day of ownership and have already had people comment on how impressive it looks. The park assistant plus especially is pretty specials. The 360 view is definitely a feature i'll be showing off to passengers.

My spec is:
330i M Sport Black Saphire
M Sport Plus Package
Parking Assistant Plus

Not sure I'll be changing much else to be honest. The only negative is the lack of Android Auto. How on earth has BMW not offered this yet with a higher android marker share compared to apple? Pretty much every other car manufacture offers both as standard.

Looks great! Are those the black shadowline exhaust tips? They look great!

What are your impressions about G20 suspension vs F30 suspension?

I've got 19's so it's slightly more firm but not overly noticeably plus the M Sport Plus has adaptive suspension which gives a more comfortable ride.

My commute is fairly on rural with bumps etc but it's not uncomfortable at all.

In the demographics that BMW is targeting, (upper-middle class) iPhone marketshare is 70% in Europe, 90% in USA. Android market share is very high on cheap phone market.

Cracking car, looks fantastic.

I had read that BMW don't offer Android Auto due to how data is used by that manufacturer vs Apple use of user data. BMW actually are looking out for their customers.

I think!?

Mercedes, Land Rover all target the same audience but they offer Android Auto so I think that's a lame excuse.

It doesn't overly bother me and I just have a phone mount for Waze but I'm sure some potential long commute customers could potentially be put off due to lack of this.

And no.. Please don't suggest I get an iPhone

It's absurd. I agree.
