This did give me a reason to finally try Bimmerlink/Bimmercode for the first time since I purchased them along with the USB-C to ENET adapter for my Android phone. Bit of a connectivity learning curve there but I have no permanent errors stored according to Bimmerlink. In fact all it showed was these: |

I can recall as a Product Planner at a domestic OEM in the 80s working with a Program Management cost reduction task and coordinating with Design Office to convert the leather on the cushion and backrest bolsters to vinyl from what had been a fully leather seat. The seating surfaces (inserts) remained leather for cushion and back. This also caused us to have to meet with the advertising expert in the General Counsel's office to determine the proper new language for catalogs (remember them?) and ads..."leather trimmed seating", "leather seating surfaces", etc. For one car, we took the entire rear seat from all leather to all vinyl when we learned about the rear seat occupany rate being so low. But, another premium model survived with 100% leather seat trim sets and even had matching leather on the door trim panel. All ancient history by now...

You can see the opposite effect by winding it up in a lower gear, then letting off the pedal and letting the car slow in that gear. Engine can be turning 5,000 RPM or more but the MPG will be 90. |

Dynamic or Adaptive Brake Lights
I saw someone else ask about this but no one posted an answer. Therefore, I want to raise the question again about Adaptive Brake Lights.
I know BMW has had this feature on other cars (M3 and M4) for example for many years but, does the G01 have this rear brake lighting as standard equipment, if not what option package includes it? This is where if you brake very hard a second set of lights will turn on (being brighter), the intent is it will catch the attention of the driver behind you. Thanks, |

what kind of oil interval are folks doing right now on their M40s?
I am at 15k miles and I had an oil change done at 5k that I paid for myself and then another one at 9.5k as part of the annual service. Now, my next free annual one is in October but by then i'll likely have 18k miles which would be a 9k mile interval. It's really dumb BMW doesn't let you move these oil changes up ahead... so is everyone paying for an interim oil change? BMW claims a 10k mile interval is fine but it seems sketchy to me.

Once a year for me as I'm a low mileage person being retired. 3k miles last year. Before that I was at 7500 miles max.

Can I buy BMW Maintenance Programs Online?
Hi All,
BMW website directs me to "My Garage" with a "Buy Now" button for extended maintenance plans. Since the vehicle isn't delivered, I don't see any options for purchase. Must I purchase at the dealer or can I purchase online? Dealer says I have to decide by delivery day. Genius said I could purchase anytime up until when the first maintenance period expires. Any help appreciated. Thank you! |
