Apple issue only? Works well with all my Android phones...
I can't speak to cough, Android lol but so far my iPhone 12 Pro Max. iPhone XR and regular iPhone 12 exhibit the same issue. The max seems to have the more serious overheating problem in my m340i. All 3 charge extremely slow in the wife's X3.

I always use it. Doesn't really charge the phone. But it keeps it from draining, which is a plus for guys like me whose phones are always near-dead.

Agreed it does exactly that in the X3. With that said, I purchased the wireless charging option for my beemer (X3). Not an option that barely maintains the battery and doesn't do what's advertised. At least the usb-c ports charge decent fast but I hate cords all about. OCD sh!t. Lol

I'm a touch confused with M seat belts. Are those different to the M stitching already present?

They are the same thing. In 2021 the were only available with the M performance edition units. Not the normal M340i.

People think these "M-lite" cars (thats what i like to call them) are M cars cause the have the "M"before the model name.
Very sorry for your clients.

When I was ordering my car in April my CA actually recommended I don't order it due to reliability issues and how hot the phone gets and I'm glad i didn't. She had told me that a client of hers bought a 330i brought it back a few days before I went to the dealership to place my order and had them remove it. I get the clean look of no cords, but I have no problem plugging in if it prevents my phone getting fried.

I do confirm it's structural as it's the same as on the M3

It's beautiful on a M340i !

So what, I doubt you'll complain about selling your clients M-lite vehicles, right?

As many of us that actually own an M340i, we know that we'll destroy most cars on the road today, "lite" or not. I laugh at so-called "true M-car" owners that bitch about this. If it bothers you that much, get a different car. Maybe deep down it bothers some pre-G80/82 owners that this current M-lite (M Performance) vehicle is neck and neck with them in some ways. In addition, it's not like this is a cheap car. Shit mine stickers at a hair below 70 grand.

Oh by the way, perhaps it's getting harder for you to explain to your uneducated clients the difference because the gap has closed?
Couldn't say it better my self. My sticker is a hair over 71k. And now that 21' are able to be tuned. Forget abt it!!!!!! Jealousy is a killer. My m-lite is better than your m. Deal with it. And damn. First the red interior now the cf roof. Always get screwed. That's exactly what I wanted and the trim. Whatever is what it is. And please don't get me wrong. I love the f/xx gen. But I'm not the one talking sh*t.
