I still see it in the App Store. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m typing this from it. I see it listed in the App Store.

Well thanks you guys! I swear when my phone was restoring from a backup it kept saying the app wasn’t available anymore. I even went & searched for it. When I would try to download it, I would get the same error message. But now all of a sudden it’s there. I redownloaded it. The whole IOS17.4 bricking was weird. I have never had an update brick my phone. And I have had a new iPhone every year since the 3GS.

Ha! I was gonna say the same

so i think i've finally realized that saying "f25 lci" would be the same as saying "g01", am i right?

No. Completely different.

An F25 LCI is just a slightly updated F25, so still an F25. G01 is a brand new model from the ground up. LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) is just a mid life model update, rather than a new model

I thought the M40i did not have the auto start/stop button?
For the US, it’s on the 30i but because the M40i has the hybrid battery added it does not have the auto start/stop button on the console.

So why does BMW put the auto start/stop button on the M40i for other countries?
This is a 2024 M40i and has the start/stop button look at time 3:46

I think (ASS) contributes to CAFE (US fuel requirements) along with 0w20 oil, in other markets the B58 uses everything from LL01 to LL04 oil in a variety of weights including 5w40.

It is a little weird to be honest... i think 2022 still had the ASS off button on the M40i... my 2023 doesn't have it but I've coded ASS out so I don't care but either way it would be nice to have a button... i'd bet its something to do with legislation that forced them to remove it.

When coding the G01 with bimmercode, is this the same as G30?

When I was test driving 2023 xdrive and m40i, I asked the salesman why m40i doesn't have ass button, he said US regulations requires to keep the actual emissions same as what producers promised initially... or something like that. Maybe that's why we still can buy a 6 cylinder? Anyway I coded it out immediately.

[jsh139]

My 2022 does not have the ASS button. I was under the impression that all LCI M40i cars in the US had the button removed. As for why it is still there in other countries, that's anyone's guess.

that will depend on the year of each.
lci has different coding possibilities
the latest bimmercode has excellent mapping
you can use expert mode for both
the same interface can be use for both

I thought the ASS button was removed when the MHEV tech was added to the G01 M40i from LCI. The 4 pot G01's still have because they don't have MHEV.

I have a Pixel 7 Pro Android. Every single time I make the first call from the car, there's a lot of loud static starting with the dialing process. Enough so that I immediately kill the call, wait a minute then redial. The 2nd and subsequent calls are trouble-free. After I shut off the car, lock it, and then reenter it later the cycle repeats. Does anyone else have something like this?

I have had a pixel 7 and 8 and randomly have this problem. It's not very frequent but as you said, hanging up and trying again solves the problem. The problem is when you get a call from someone that you don't know like a company and you can't easily have them call you back or call them back. I've had the problem on several BMWs, so it's not just the X3. I don't know if the problem is on the BMW end or the Pixel end.

I have the fuse pulled on my M40i to keep the LH exhaust pipe open all the time. I've noticed that in cold weather I only get steam from the right pipe, not the left. Even when the car's been driving for a while and fully warmed up the RH exhaust is hot but the left isn't.

Anything to be concerned about?

The right pipe thing is a normal BMW thing but it should even out to both of them eventually after the car is warmed up. Lots of threads on this

Yeah - I've read loads of them but no-one seems to mention the uneven distribution of the exhaust across the two tailpipes. It makes me wonder if the valve on the LH pipe is actually fully open - I get plenty of noise on startup and when warmed up, but there's not much back pressure and as I said the exhaust tip doesn't get hot the way the RH one does after a longer run.
