As you say, it now just seems to rely on online search which, of course, often doesn’t work properly. Why can’t these car companies just leave things as they were?!

You can still use the dial input and if you move your hand towards the screen a keyboard pops up from memory.

I have the search function available in navigation which pops up the manual input wheel of letters and numbers, although I am running software version 11/2020.45.

It must have been installed by BMW HQ when the car (330e) visited Immingham for its HV Charging investigation over Christmas 🤷🏻*♂️

Hey BMW, take us to Sainsbury's, Next, McDonald's, KFC, Starbucks or Costa, and home again 🙈. I've struggled to 2180 miles since 1st September :

I've never said it to the car, and didn't appreciate you could change the word/name🤔

I can hear Kitt and Michael having a conversation back in the 80's.

Can I 'Hey BMW turn on Extra-boost' in my 330e 🤷🏻*♂️

Not sure about extra boost as I don’t have a hybrid, but it will change to sport and eco pro then back to comfort with voice commands.
