2021 330ix M Sport: initial impressions
I started out wanting a M340i but settled on a Portimao Blue 330i Xdrive instead.
It's been three days and so far it is putting a smile on my face every moment. Specs: Black Vernesca with Contrast Stiching Premium pkg M sport pkg Shadowline Drivers Assistance M Adaptive Suspension Wireless Charging Remote Start Here are a few questions, things I love and some gripes. I will post detailed photos over the weekend. Loves: The welcome lights are very useful and very nice. I got the black vernesca leather with M stripes and it's such a nice subtle touch, matched with the M striped floor mats. Steering wheel is nicely weighted and chunky. LED cornering lights with automatic high-beam is very confidence inspiring at night. Kick open and close of the tailgate is very nice. Heated steering wheel: I know when it is on or off. My benz does not tell me this. You sort of....feel for it. Questions: How do I make the fog lamps turn on automatically with low beams? I'm having to press it manually.WHY!! BMW Hotspot, how do I know if its working?? Also, is there a LTE boost function, like a microcell? How do I open both exhaust flaps all the time regardless of the mode? How can I close the tailgate from the remote? HK sound: so not worth the money. Gripes: Wireless charger placement is very very annoying. Also, there aren't enough storage space. Everything feels shallow compared to a C-class...or a Honda/Acura. Ambient lighting: give us 64 colors!! Hell, add a subscription to a color wheel! |

2)It would be interesting to see the purpose behind this feature and how it works and if owners can chime in the usefulness of this, not sure as I have android phone and use data plan on phone. 3)Can't open both exhaust flaps all the time regardless of the mode. You would need to put it in sport mode upon/before startup or program and use your Sport Individual settings. Otherwise through coding. 4)Why use the remote to close, when you can push down on the power trunk button to close from the driver's side when inside or close the trunk using the kick function or press the close button in the trunk to close. |

An update on the previous post:
1) Fog lamps WILL NOT automatically come on with main headlights. Oh well. 2) BMW Hotspot works....I burned through the complimentary hotspot way too fast. 3) I removed the exhaust flap connector and now it sounds better! (I duct-taped the two ends) 4) I used Bimmercode with ODB Link CX (swapping out for MX+) and coded the auto trunk open and close. So convenient Does any by any chance know how to remove the white dome light above the charging tray? |

I did not. I wanted to order non-rt but I figured I'll just get a set of summer pros once it gets warmer and keep the stock set to return at end of lease
