Cheers, I’ll give this a try as my windscreen, front bumper and bonnet are covered in bugs.

My rearview mirror shakes a lot, making it hard to see whats behind me in focus a lot. how can I fix that?
It feels secure when I manually move it around, but if I am on a slightly bumpy road or something it moves so much that I cant exactly focus on things behind me as well. |

Yep. Shows the wrong wheels, too.

Am I the only one who is constantly inadvertently locking their car when they go to grab the handle to open the door? Seems to happen a lot when the door is already unlocked. It’ll end up locking it on me.
The sensor to lock the door is right where your finger lands when you grasp the door handle. Like, why in the world would they put it there?! Put the lock sensor on the outside of the handle like every other manufacturer does. Sheesh!

I had to have my windscreen replaced due to a chip in the lower right corner generating a crack all the way to the middle of the screen, and the installer said I should replace the wipers.
I can understand replacing brake pads and rotors together, but has anyone heard of replacing wipers when installing a new windscreen? |

Just picked up my 23 X3 and have a few questions off the bat...
1) When I try to save CarPlay as a preset, it says "unable to save." Are you not able to save CarPlay as a preset? 2) Is there a way to display your milage at the bottom of the virtual cockpit at all times? Mine does not show up unless i cycle through the items on the right side of the screen. |

You can then go back to the main CarPlay menu by using the icons stacked vertically on the side of the iDrive screen. Haven't tried setting a short cut whilst in Google maps or Waze or Spotify, but it might work… |

you have to be one screen forward of carplay in order to save anything carplay as a shortcut...
Go into the idrive menu and click on the are where you would normally go into carplay... hover over the carplay button and then save.

This is correct and is how I did it. Took me a bit to figure it out. There are certain things you can and can't set as one of those magic presets. Pull up the audio sources in iDrive and there will be a list. One of them is CarPlay. Spin the iDrive wheel until you're selecting CarPlay, but don't push the iDrive wheel down. Long-press one of the magic presets and it'll be set to CarPlay.

Alright, here is a dumb one for you guys...
if you have Heated and Cooled Seats... where are the buttons for both? Is it one button that can turn on either?

I don't think that you can. It's kind of annoying. Ideally, I'd like the "Range" meter to show my trip mileage. You can also set one of the "Home" screen widgets on the panel display to show trip information, though. But, it's still a button-press if you're using CarPlay or any other screen.

Does the comfort mode in the live cockpit now feature a regular tach or some dumb power reserve dial that Ive seen? I suppose this is adjustable?

Mine is only 2 weeks old and I never noticed my mirror shaking/vibrating until I installed a Blendmount mirror radar detector mount this past Saturday morning. It was quite excessive. I have since minimized it by fine tuning the position of my radar on the blendmount, but it is still there a tad bit. It doesn't bother me so much now as it did on Saturday which it vibrated a lot. I'm hoping whenever I change out to NRF tires that maybe it will fully go away.
