If you read through the forum, it's not actually being neutered. The consensus is that the drivetrain may need to relearn/adapt after a software update. If you drive aggressively for a while, the pops and bangs will come back after every update.

when i first got my car there was never a single burble or gunshot backfire. only the occasional pop once in a blue moon.

then someone said i need to drive it very hard. so i took it out and drove for an hour between 4000-redline wide open throttle as much as possible.

then it magically turned into this symphony of burbles pops and gunshot backfires in sport plus, with gear stick in sport.

unfortunately the car is too quiet to hear them all without all the windows down, removed all the boot floor boards, seats down.

I'm in the hunt for a preowned M340. How do I know if the pre-LCI models have adaptive cruise control?

Look at the steering wheel pictures, It should have the distance +/- buttons

I thought that the full Sprint mode was exclusive to the LCI (Idrive 8) vehicles, but discovered that my 2022 car has it: if I hold the left paddlе, the transmission downshifts a few gears and the display changes to the sport configuration with a "Sprint" label. I think this came with the 11/2022 software update. Before the update, the downshifts were there, but I do not remember seeing the Sprint label.

You are correct. This was reported earlier in this and other threads. Nice upgrade feature.

I learned that I hate the windshield washer system. The stupid tubing sitting in channels is a PITA when wiping after washing the car. They keep popping out.

Are there any customizations for sport HUD in ID8 LCI m340? Was wondering if you can see any type of tach with rpms or even a gear indicator. I went up some curvy roads the other day and noticed missing a gear indicator while the steering was cranked. With the short ratios of ZF8, it’s not always obvious what gear you’re in lol.

My gripe is not that, but that there is no 'drip sweep' after using the washers. On most modern cars, when you use the washers they do maybe three or four sweeps and then after a pause of around 20-30 seconds, a final sweep to catch any remaining drips. I always have to do that manually on the G20. First world issue for sure, but it has so many other handy little features that it strikes me is an odd oversight.

Probably something you can code in

You could be right, but operating my iPhone is the cutting edge of my technical capability so there is no way I'm touching the coding on my car ....

I was thinking this as well, as my 07 IS 250 had this small touch

Same here. My other gripe is that the auto function for the wiper does not auto turn off after switching off the car. So when you start the car again, the blades cycle once. I had dried leaves stuck on the blades the other day and after starting the car, the leaves scratched against my windshield. It can also be annoying when having to “drive tru” car wash.

I never remember to turn off the auto function after driving. My E90 always turns off the functionality after shutting down the car.

I haven't noticed that being an issue. I've only ever had the wipers come on if the screen is wet when the ignition is turned on. I'd be annoyed if I had to switch the auto function back on every time I started the car as I always have my wipers on auto. But then I never use car washes ...

What I don't understand is it pushes the water in front of the wipers, the wipers push the water up beyond its reach and then it just drips back down and leaves a streak.

So I just learned that I can roll the windows down using my key fob by holding down the unlock button. But, I can't close them remotely, even with the app. Is there a way to do this via bimmercode?

This is my first BMW.

If you hold the lock button on the keyfob it should close everything the same way.
