My Concerns about certain items ....

HeatJoey · 01-07-2024, 07:39 AM

When this comes out I’ll be ready for a new car but some major concerns :

No more coding ? So we can’t fix a few things, most notably ASS. This is very annoying

No buttons or gear shift ? Also very annoying.

Are they going to fix these rocks they call seats? My current m40i seats are terrible

Last item is motor… will it get any more power or identical to current ? I suppose this isn’t terrible as the current b58 is very nice but if your updating everything and making it an m50, give it a little more power? lol .

These items are very close to deal killers for me. Will have to wait and see I guess.

Almost forgot, this may not be important to some of you but I cannot deal with brake dust… for my current 23 luckily they make powerstops that are cheap and great, but with a new design we might not have such simple replacement parts at least for a while? Ie we knew the 23 used the same calipers and pads as the 22.

ASS is annoying with 48V system (that doesn't mess 12V starting battery) and AT? Go see VAG cars with 1.0L TSI and MT, how they shake in every traffic jam. And all this happens on the 12V battery.
"Rock" hard seats might be resolved by choosing Sensatec, Sensafin material over leather.
Do not expect M50i V8 engine in X3... There is still the X3M (Comp.) option, if you want to go higher.
