V, straight, boxer

Not a strictly G20 question but has BMW ever employed a boxer engine?

where to get M Performance & other parts

G20 3 ers look great!
The damn service guy at Essendon BMW loaned me a 330i when I had the wife's 640d in for service a little over a month ago & . . . cut a long story short, I have my M340i in Dravit on its way with ETA end April (though in the current climate anything can go wrong).

Can anyone recommend where to get the following (pref in MEL):
1. P style rear spoiler
2. paint protection film (have it on the 640 & swear by it)
3. tailor-made sheepskin seat covers and
4. exhaust upgrade (delete particulate filter, upgrade muffler maybe)

Just picked up my G20 320d here in NZ recently. Took me a while to find the right one with the HK sound, comfort access, driving assistant pro and 360 camera but I'm absolutely loving it. Huge change coming from an E82 135i but a positive one, the handling is significantly better and I quite like the power delivery of the diesel.

One frustrating thing is an error with the emergency call system, have been told that it needs a new TCB and they're currently on backorder but not too far away. so no maps, connecteddrive etc wondering if anyone else has had this issue? Other than that I'm stoked with the purchase!

No, she can't open or close the sunroof. Pity as it would be one of the more useful features

Apparently the upgraded assistant in 07/2020.xxx will allow more control over windows from what I've read.

However I find it all a bit gimmicky... hey BMW, wait for her to respond, then say open sunroof, wait for her to open it. A bit like asking the change the cabin temperature.

It's so much quicker to just reach up in a second or two and press the button.

Especially with the driving assistant doing most of the heavy lifting on the cruise to work, I find I have move time to press a button or two.

On another note, Anyone else noticed the new Windows automation app that appeared in my vehicle apps last week

Hey Guys,

just a few questions as I'm taking delivery next month.

is there anything I should look out for when taking delivery? because when I took delivery of my X3 last year I gave my dealer a whole list of stuff to check, quality control was pretty bad in the US plant, so luckily I got them to check and fix a few things.
anything that I should look out for?

also is apple car play free? or do I need to pay for the subscription?

@DrMilan - when I got my car I got them to install it before pick up? If you want genuine then go the BMW or there are aftermarkets out there check out Mj mods or JD one of the forum does sell parts too
