BMW infotainment system has been considered the bet in the market for a long time. Far from shitty experience.

I also own an i4 and I still prefer its navigation system to Google Maps or Tesla. Navigating to chargers works perfectly, and it notifies you in realtime if for some reason it gets occupied. Yes, Tesla sentry mode is really good, but I rea

Same here with a BMW and iDrive8.5 I’ve never used CarPlay with it. BMW infotainment system just works, and its navigation system is superior to Google Maps (more up to date and better high traffic alternatives). Said that, I’d still like t

You're not taking into account the type of usage that BMW have to Toyotas. Toyotas are usually driven by non-car-enthusiasts, and people that do care about reliability. BMWs on the other hand are enthusiast cars, driven quicker, modifi

They are probably suffering of user abuse more than any other brand in the market.

After your 3/5-year warranty at BMW you can maintain your BMW at your local workshop, and the costs are similar to other cars. They are not expensive cars to maintain, specially the latest models (F-series, G-series).

Yes, but mini cars only cover the lower and cheapest segment of the market, that is the UKL platform that BMW only uses for the X1, X2, 1 series and 2 series GC. So probably the highest complexity of the more premium platforms and features

It is not only how they are maintained, but also how they are driven. BMW's are sport enthusiast vehicles. They are probably used and abused and higher levels than typical Toyotas and Lexus. You won't see many Toyotas and Lexus in

Newer BMWs are some of the most reliable cars that you can buy. Minis and BMWs are essentially the same cars, just Minis are limited to the low segment, with less luxury features and smaller motors. That means that, as expected, the higher

It depends on the country. BMW are well known by any mechanic and parts are widely available, OEM and aftermarket. In my experience BMWs are not more expensive to repair than any Toyota or VW, but due to the increased set of features they h

What makes the n64 port differently fun compared to the other versions ?

by tirant 3y ago
That already exists. BMW sells you the modules for any of their EV batteries.

The only competitor I can think of is the new electric Mini, with a range of more than 280miles, but it's a two door hatchback and the cost is expected to be north of $30,000

Interestingly, all those features you mention are also available on BMWs from the last years. Your comparison is not fair if you compare against an old BMW. On the other hand, on all the Teslas I’ve tried I missed basic things like proper t

Aldi Süd was one of the typical free charging locations. Since this summer they have closed all their chargers and they plan now to start charging around 0.40€/kWh.

Not really. Electricity tariffs can be pretty competitive if you shop around. I own an EV and I have never charged at home, even though I have my own garage. My average electricity costs at home are around 0.30€/kWh. Meanwhile, 30% of

I own both a diesel (2021) BMW SUV and an electric BMW. The diesel has an average of 6.0l/100km since factory. It's slightly higher on highway (~6.5l) and slightly lower on national roads (5.0-5.5l). It's a typical 4 cylinder

In Germany there are already Smart Electricity suppliers which also provide a Wallbox in order to automatically charge your car whenever certain price threshold is reached. You could for example configure it to charge your car when prices a

It saddens me to read such nihilistic comments here. Specially based on such clichés. Under which metric is the planet complete ruined? and why do you think it's overpopulated? what's then the maximum number of people that should

Why shouldn't billionaires have more power than you? I assume that you come from a western country, and presumably you work on Engineering or IT industry. Based on statistics we can easily assume that you belong to the 1% richest popul

That's a very strong assumption to make. Because you are putting a limit on the capabilities of an individual and the cost of the problems and projects thet may work on.

It shouldn't, unless your only purpose is damaging that individual, which sounds to me like a not very humane purpose. Work is one of the main purposes and goals an individual may have, together with family. Denying that to anyone is s

Why shouldn't they exist? Are you really claiming that by accumulating certain amount of health you become harmful to society? If that is the case what would be that amount that you mention? $1,000,000,000 and what about $990,000,000?

I wouldn't prioritize so much sounding as a native speaker unless you fear discrimination that may affect your career or personal life. Under my point of view I view keeping your accent as part of your identity and something that makes

Interesting. I also came across Meditations from M.A. when reading Flow by M.C. I downloaded a license-free ebook of Meditations, but found the translation to be excessively complicated and ended up abandoning it. I really appreciate your r
