1. The autozoom feature during navigation is awful. It zooms out way to far. I've had to leave it in manual zoom. Hopefully Bmw fixes this in an update.
2. Can't receive text in a $60,000 vehicle??? I've read that this can easily be enabled but with so many other cars that do this including my previous, this should be standard.
3. Wind noise seems to be excessive.
4. No track forward or reverse on the steering wheel. This should be on every wheel. Luckily I was able to assign a gesture to do this.
5. No spare really limits my choice of tires when they need to be replaced. Will have to stick with rft's.
6. No remote start feature. Could have at least given the ability to turn on the rear defrost, heated seated and heated steering wheel from the app.
Now the list of things I love would be obnoxiously long so I'll end it here. What's on your hate list?  |
Hate is a strong word. Most gripes of technical issues with how our X3s operate are due to ignorance. Reading the manual does wonders. Just saying.

4. The scroll function is infinitely more useful than just track skip
5. You should have ordered the spare option, it’s like $300
6. I guess this is good? GM cars have had it for 10+ years, always seemed like a waste of gas to me. I live in Texas, so I suppose I don’t need this?
My only gripe: no auto-stop/start when in Sport Mode. If the M3/M4 can do ASS in any mode, why can’t an X3?

I agree 100% and to be transparent, I have a fully loaded M40i. In addition to CarPlay (wife uses it), with text messages and Android it works just fine lol. Voice control or you can even use the hand gesture and say "text messages". I think it also works with skipping tracks but I like the wheel as well.
16,000 miles so far and I am OK to say there's not a thing I "hate" but there is always room for improvement.
