Had the opposite experience today. I was driving on a main road slowing down for an approaching red light. There was a Disco pulling up suddenly from a highish speed to a Stop sign on my left.

X traffic alert must have sensed that the Disco wasn't going to stop, so the 'fireworks' started. The brakes slammed on with the ABS activating. Warning buzzer activated and red side view of a car 🚗 flashed on. It was quite a show! Heartbeat accelerated a few beats as well!
Hurray it works!
Hope the seatbelt didn't try to squash the ribs

So my question is, did your G20 come with wheel lock nuts or is this not standard anymore?
Wheel locks are a dealer installed item. It's an extra upsell. The factory doesn't install them.

Yes, in certain situations, I do use the parking assistant, but the visuals are not as clear as in the F30. Maybe I should turn off all the yellow and red warning indicators for a better view.
I tend to be over cautious of kerb rash on the wheels. This dates back to when I test drove several cars without a problem and then picked up my brand new 540 Schnitzer and kerbed the front wheel within 30 minutes of owning the car!! Was I pissed off, or what?? I’ve never put myself in that position again.

Hi Ikester

I asked the same question to the dealer when I picked up my car and nope they don't supply any

They cost $164.50 for four

You are so right.
The moment I did it, my body just went icy cold.
Only one person to blame!

So I'm usually pretty clued up with tech but this has me stumped

Every time I get in my car i receive a pop up suggesting a destination, in the morning , it pops up with my work address and during the day it comes up with my home address etc I have to clear it every time.

I've turned off the learning of destinations feature in the sat nav as well as disabling my location in connected drive but notice it still logging my trips in CD and still insists on suggesting destinations every time

Any other suggestions how to disable this annoying feature

Hopefully this should help you out:

Tilt controller forward, then select notifications. Tilt right to settings and select settings.
Under Notifications for, unselect Automate my Habits . I think that should fix it, but if not Scroll down and unselect the check box under Show at Start of Journey (notifications and recomm) And then scroll down to Show at end of Journey and unselect whatever you don't want.

I've noticed that BMW are now too miserable to put sound deadening insulation under the rear speaker shelf. Probably because you don't notice it's not there unless you are a contortionist.
I'm pretty sure all my past BMW sedans have had insulation fitted under the shelf.
But I do have insulation under the bonnet...seems that only comes with the 2 extra cylinders in the M340i and doesn't come with 320 or 330

I posted this in another forum but I might as well post it here too.

I have water dripping from these 3 holes. I suspect these are the holes to drain the AC condensation. My 2 previous cars did not drip as much water onto the ground as the BMW.

I'm not too worried because it's just water and it appears to be draining from somewhere its supposed to be draining from.

I have a BIG issue to post here

Noooooo , none for us thanks we already had some

Now I understand what Eco Pro is for , I vowed never to use it, but traffic is so bad, I thought I would give it a go , saving the earth from fossil fuels and all .... so no power but then again at 5km/h who needs it. , I do like the Blue Effect though.

I nearly had a heart attack, used the sun visor and did not clip it in properly , so was making a clack clack noise, thought it was coming from the centre speaker in the dash, then i thought that was an issue on the forum that I hear mentioned...Oh no... then I realised hhahahahah

Microphone not working when switching from Airpod Pros to Car

Hi Good Folk.

So I was on my Apple Airpod Pros having a conversation , then I got into the car and the audio switched to the car all good.
But then the person could not hear me
Called from the car using Apple CarPlay mutliple times but same result.
So I got out the car locked it , got back in held down the volume knob to switch the system off and then did it again to switch it on
And all was good.

I also tried Apple Maps to speak a destination , it could not hear me, so Apple CarPlay must of got confused when I switched from my Airpods to the car.

For a moment I thought the microphone in the car did not work anymore ..pheew.

The wireless charger is seriously going to ruin my iPhone XR. Every time I use Carplay on wireless charge, the phone gets extremely hot. Also, wireless CarPlay drops out audio every time I go anywhere near an automatic tolling point. The reader must disrupt the wireless connection to Carplay. Both of these issues are really starting to piss me off.

Yup I found it heats it up a lot so I don't use it
I just charge my phone at home
The wireless charger tray is my sun glass holder hahaha
I have not experiencing dropouts yet but will check next time I go through a toll

I think you need to go into setting and then data privacy to accept the new terms. The notifications never came up again after that.

That's strange. I did it once and the notification never came up again. Sorry not sure what's causing your problem. 🤔
