    Car keys seem to be following the mobile phone trend in that we made them as small as possible at first to show what we could do and then they got bigger and bigger again. I'd guess from experience of owning tiny phones and keys that it's because the bigger ones are harder to drop / lose.
    The phone connectivity thing doesn't annoy me but I'm confused by it. Multiple manufacturers support Android and Apple easily so I'm not sure why BMW choose to ignore almost exactly 50% of the market. I know plenty of rich people who prefer Android.
    I have a 360 camera in my car and 90% of the time it's of no use but parking in tight spaces like an underground garage makes it a brilliant thing.

    It's about time someone came up with the idea to release the hood by pulling the lever twice. Much easier then releasing the hood then feel around under the edge if the hood for the safety release. Very smart BMW.

    I have the same engine/gearbox combination in my 2019 BMW M240i Convertible and it is really heavenly. The car encompasses everything a 3 series should. It's a true successor to the E30 in that regard. The SUV Shape in this X3 is a neccesary evil, but the drivetrain truly shines.

      DC Williams I’ve had a 335 coupe, X5, 545 and a z4. All started warping interior and engine leaked oil left and right. Half of the engine is made of plastic. Unless you’ve got experience with that many bmw and seen a different pattern then I’d beg to differ. I’m certain Bill would agree with me on this topic!

      @kriscarmelo Před 3 lety

      DC Williams also I highly doubt you’ve bought four brand new bmw and driven them past 100k miles. Buying used bmw after its been refurbished doesn’t give you the experience to doubt my comment. You’re reprobate behavior only indicates that you’re the one who owns a Kia. Furthermore, you sound like the type who would rip off your Kia badges and put on those M Badges AMG Badges and v12 badges on your Kia and hope no one notices. That’s the kind of person you sound like. Lol
