Best Features

Hi all, I am (im)patiently awaiting the delivery of of my new company car which is due mid-December.

I have ordered a 330e m-sport in metallic mineral white with the fine wood oak grain open pored trim, tech pack, extended storage & heated steering wheel.

What is your favourite or most useful feature on your G20’s?

Hopefully this will give me even more excitement for delivery of my new chariot!!

The new idrive system is a nice step up from what i had in the 4 series. Apple car play, wireless charging. Just the little things, all add to a great infotainment system. The feature I didn’t know i needed was the HUD!

HUD is a winner, as is Heated Steering wheel but the Driving Assistant really is the business.

The standard Driving Assistant? As I have not gone Pro version?

Also I have seen that auto main beam can be added via the connected app for £160. Winning!!

Does anyone know if Active Cruise Control will be able to be added like this? As this is the 1 feature I would’ve really liked to have had

The driving assistant pro is really good - one of the must have features if you do a lot of longer journeys in my opinion. The standard will just nudge you back into lane if you drift out, but nothing else - still better than nothing though. I was very selective in my options, but the below was what I wanted and felt I didn't need anything else:

M-sport pro package
Harman Kardon sound
Driving Assistant Professional
Heated steering wheel
Lumbar support

HUD is easily my favourite feature but closely followed by the Spotify app. I use the car quite often without taking my mobile phone so having my playlist available whilst using the cars data is really useful. HK is also pretty good and my wife reckons sound/bass improved with the last software update - 07/2020.60

How does that work? I thought you needed your phone with you to use Spotify.

Not if you use the app on the car itself - uses the cars data connection rather than from your phone.

I'm pretty underwhelmed with Apple Car Play. No nav in the instrument cluster along with no ability to freely browse through Spotify is a let down.

Standard iDrive all the way for me!
