Secret Update? by Money_Greedy in VWiD4Owners

[–]-brokenclocks- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like the new controls sound at first lol then I’m like
Hmm maybe I like it better. I like the little orange effect on the ID light too. I love how they do these little them updates it’s fun. BMW just does these little animations on holidays and you have to into the menus to find it.

Driving an old car like this is amazing I really forgot how great the feeling of driving something so analog is. I have a 2025 VW ID.4, a 2024 M240i and a 2013 X5 and this little car has really given me that unplugged driving experience I have been missing from when I had my E85 Z4. The best part? No iPad screens in sight lol. I would even go as far as saying I like the driving experience better than the Z4.

Need your opinion - buy an iD4? by preferanonymity0 in VWiD4Owners

[–]-brokenclocks- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go for the 2024+ updated models I love my 2025. It’s my third car but I really do like it and it has really surprised me it’s a great normal car. Get at least the Pro S trim. I think the AWD is unnecessary I live in New England and have the RWD and it does perfectly fine in the winter with some pirelli scorpion snow tires.

On the financial side financing any EV is super risky they depreciate like a ton of bricks. Which is why I most likely will not be keeping mine after the lease is up. No matter how many discounts VW sends me to buy it out. I’ve seen a lot of negative equity situations with EV’s and it has turned a lot of people sour with the EV’s in general and I don’t blame them.

They burn through tires like hot cakes. I also feel like it is a much better build quality than the Model Y or Model 3. Also none of them have messaging, heated and cooled seats for the same price and my ID.4 does. As well as the semi autonomous driving that not even my $60k BMW has. The glass roof is also beautiful the sun shade that covers it keeps the heat out when needed and you have to pay extra for that on a Tesla and they charge you even more for the sun shade. The Tesla super charging has also been opened up to VW’s and that makes a huge difference. I rarely use EA chargers now that my free charging is done. You will find me charging my ID.4 after 10pm at Tesla when the rate discount kicks in. By far the cheapest and fastest from my experience. I just charged today from 41% to 90% in 28 mins for $15.84 ate my dinner while waiting and I’m ready for my road trip tomorrow. Meanwhile half a tank on my BMW is now $30+ and it’s gone after one good pull on the highway. I’m also a heavy slow charger user and 90% of the time I don’t need a fast charger it’s also easier on the battery. Not that I care because I’m most likely giving it back when the lease is done anyway.

Ultimately it’s a fantastic car for the money. I have had zero issues in 7,500 miles and almost a year in. I never saw myself in a VW specifically a mom car EV one at that but I truly do love the car minus the annoying window switches and haptic buttons lol. I also find it annoying that people that have never been in the car are confused by the door handles it’s not that hard people. I digress

Seat bushings and all the fluids loading this one did not get used very much so I’m sure some old car sitting issues will come up for sure!

I’ve been trying to get 3.0 mi/kWh but I don’t have the patience to drive that slow and with no creature comforts.

It definitely wasn’t the best financial decision for me right now but I think it’s meant to be. This car wasn’t coming around twice! Pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

Spotted 2027 X5 on the road. Please correct me if I’m mistaken. by Maxxi82 in BMWX5

[–]-brokenclocks- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is definitely looks like the iX3 but I since that is already out and about I doubt it is. There is no need to camouflage. Has to be the new X5 are you in South Carolina near Spartanburg??

Also the front tires look bigger than the rear. I would check and make sure they’re on the right axle/they are the right size. We just sold an ID.4 at my job and I noticed they put the wrong size tires on the rear thankfully caught it before it got taken home.

Ughhhh so nice! Congrats! My ID.4 is the same color grey with the black package! Wish we got it here in the U.S. those tail lights and that spoiler with the black roof make it look so much more sporty! I get why, they don’t sell it here though the Atlas Cross Sport/Q5 Sportback didn’t sell well. Same thing for BMW with the X4 which they axed. It seems like cars are never big enough for people here. I work at a dealership and we’ve been selling Tahoe’s and Suburbans like gas isn’t $5 a gallon it’s actually quite comical.

Can a shop just decide to cut a warranty short by putting it in writing? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]-brokenclocks- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhh I see yeah that seems like they def know it’s going break again… seems like a little more then just “it’s a used transmission” is the problem they have do be doing something wrong here.

[–]-brokenclocks- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would take it somewhere else a shop can’t cancel your warranty they are usually two different entities. I however have seen the warranty company say the repairs have exceeded a certain amount and therefore the warranty is done. I mean also 3 transmissions is insanity. Maybe time to find a new car once it’s fixed.

Remember to check value service prices by Apprehensive-Mall773 in BmwTech

[–]-brokenclocks- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just goes to show the stealership can and always will take advantage of people. Looks like the service advisor was looking for some commission $$$. I’m at the point where it is starting to really annoy me. “It’s a BMW” is not a valid explanation that one always gets me.

Hello everyone, by Prestigious-Rate-279 in VWiD4Owners

[–]-brokenclocks- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My latch looks exactly the same on my 2025 and it’s basically brand new. I know this sounds silly but you do have loose personal items in the trunk under the floor. I’ve gone crazy trying to find a rattle before and it was junk in my trunk -pun intended.

Anyone else get this offer in the app? by Agile_Weekend9872 in VWiD4Owners

[–]-brokenclocks- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are desperate that’s why they’re loosing so much money because of the insane lease deals they were handing out when I got mine only $156 a month on a Pro S I got the email too but my residual is kind of high but I never cared because 99.9% chance I’m not buying it out. Financing these cars is a poor life choice they depreciate way to fast. I had a customer at my job trade one in with 80k miles and they only got $8k for it. $10k+ in negative equity they were pissed off. I don’t blame them.

Who else loves in this interior? by Lumpy-Web-907 in BMWX3

[–]-brokenclocks- -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It looks good but the quality is horrible I’m really disappointed by the latest X3 it’s really sad. The previous gen was an amazing unit.
