In all seriousness though, there's just way too much inconsistencies being reported from users who have it - from the few who say it works well and don't report issues, to the many who have had problems with it triggering Apple Card and overheating or barely charging. Not worth the extra $500 IMO. |

I would have never realised that, worked for me too, just turn it off and don't worry about pressing the P button! Thanks

It’s a habit carried over from the A4 and SQ5. But in those cars, the parking brake also gets applied if a slight incline is detected. In the G20 though, I can’t seem to get the parking brake to turn on even if there is a slight incline.

You mean even if I was parked on my minutely inclined driveway? The reason I don’t like auto hold is it seems to sometimes activate even when I’m trying to very slowly creep forward. That’s why I don’t use it often.

Agree, but you can switch it on and off. It is useful sometimes on inclines/declines and stop/start driving

Love preconditioning my 330e through the app, heats the steering wheel as well!
Also like how the windscreen washer fluid is put onto the wiper blades instead of the windscreen directly so it doesn't obscure the view My kids love the interior lighting, so from the outside it looks like we're having a disco... |

Trying to change the content of the central display is not intuitive.
No doubt an eight year old could do it with their eyes closed. For me it's a struggle... |

You mean on the live cockpit or iDrive? I personally find the BMW system less intuitive than the Audi system. It’s so much easier in my SQ5/ex-A4 than in my 330i.

So when you have steering intervention when changing lanes, if you have your turn signal on, it doesn't intervene...

Most cars are like that. It would be really annoying if every time you changed lanes your steering wheel would either tug back or shake or make an audible noise.

Yes. And the 2020 B9.5 has a better live cockpit (IMHO) with one more view. The cockpit view changes in the different drive select modes unlike previously where it wouldn't.

Ugh, I kept switching lanes and getting pissed that it would throw me back. Now I use the turn signal when ever my hands make a sweeping motion left or right!

Just turn it off, I did. I hate steering intervention.

I hated how my SQ5 drove, but loved the tech. It was seamless and it complimented the experience versus BMWs that tends to regularly work against itself

What happens when you pull the ebrake button doing 20 mph? Ebrake drift?
