My only problem/complaint is that the exterior door handles are somewhat creaky and cheap feeling... like they might be a problem one day but not today. This is my first BMW.... My old car, a 2014 Lexus IS350 F-sport, was one of the very first of the new generation... ~3000th off the production line. That car was mechanically solid but had plenty of new generation issues. I would expect similar from BMW, so I am only leasing this time around, but this car is feeling solid so far. Last edited by Giggler; 12-22-2019 at 11:18 AM.. |

Still considering my options as to recovering those payments... The SBM looks great after the tint and blacking out the amber reflector, but I’m a noob and don’t know how to post pics yet lol |

But yeah, my SA told me that they’ve had quite a few problems with the new tech in the G20s, and we both hypothecated exactly what you are. Even my replacement has the center speaker rattle in sport. At least my Bluetooth works now...? |

Okay, let’s see if I figured this out. I went with Suntek CIR 70% Windshield and then CXP 5% rear and on amber reflectors, and 15% front. Really liking how it turned out

The car should turn completely off after a few minutes if you don't lock it otherwise there's something wrong. You can also press and hold the power button for the radio/infotainment for a few seconds to turn it off without locking. I discovered this after returning my G20 loaner.

1: set it so it will lock as you walk away 2:"turn it off car" manually ... (push up on Idrive and it's in the menu) 3: don't open your car door until you turn off the engine |

340 Xdrive is an awful car
I upgraded from a F30 335 to G20 340Xdrive.
Its done 3000Kms in 8 months but has been back for repairs 5 times. 1. Driver assist system failed and the car drifted across to the next lane 2. No Signal error popping up on dash. Having to do hard reboots 3. Park assist system failed. Had to replace sensors and reinstall software 4. Lane change system failed 5. Sunroof rattles and after removing the headliner 3 times - BMW still can't fix the issue. My recommendation is not to buy this car if anyone is planning to.

I am about to trade in my non stop leaking 2014 435I with 49k miles. They are giving me 19k for it, not too bad seeing’s i owe 20k. I always lose on trades a little with bmw
Anyway I’m getting a 2020 mineral grey M340. June 2019. Was driven on a lease limited to 10.5k mer year, he got out at 16.5k miles. Clean vin no recalls, drives insane. Software seemed good to go for now, i looked at the service bulletin since it is a CPO. I still have 2 years left of the bunker to bumper and then the 3rd year of cpo warranty which is likely not bumper to bumper. I’ll get an extended that is for sure. My question is do you want guys really think these are a mess? All of them? At 16k miles on a lease being checked and serviced with no repairs but i think one software update looking thing, it seems clean. We all know that having a bmw means sometimes you have no car for a month. Both of mine have been that way in past. Wouldn’t your think that if it is in tip top shape now it will be good to go and problems would be ideal identified by now? Or with the warranty i should be fine for at least the 2-3 years and be low mileage anyway? Super hard to say. Anyone here since back in 2019 when this thread first started end up getting everything worked out real easy and went well in long run or was it a nightmare? I want to get the car and my 2014 is basically a lemon. If i were in California i could get a lemon law check right now for being in shop for 30 days oil leaks all over the place. They are saying porous cylinder heads and replacing the heads under my warranty ok the trade. I feel happy to get away from that since the metal is porous, makes me think what if the block is too? If the metal casting on the car was bad in one place why not the rest. I had to get a 2020 and be a mess again. Aren’t CPO’s so legit? It is it a joke how the certify the things? Do you think i should ask them to do a software update right away before i take the care or check it all? , |

Just out of curiosity, are the cars with all the listed issues German or Mexican built?
Can't say that I have experienced any of the problems listed in this thread except for the occasional bug in idrive, which a reboot fixes temporarily at least. The most frequent bug for me is that connected drive loses contact with the car which is kind of annoying but not really a deal breaker for me at least. |
