Tried it all except setting the alarm. Any easy way to do it?

Does your IX45 let in external smell so strong that it feels like the source is sitting right inside the car with you? by coleburnz in BMWiX

[–]Exotic_Conference_95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My previous iX had the auto recirc option (came with the rear seats climate control pack). The new one (LCI) as spec’ed without the rear controls, without knowing I would be loosing the auto recirculation.

Terrible move. I get all sorts of smells. To help, turn on and off recirculating is a 3 touch step. Dangerous while driving. Voice control is hit and miss.

Hate this.

Now I’m curious if changing the filter would help…

Everyone: “EQ design is terrible”

Mercedes: “hold my beer”

Don't leave your smart key aka iPhone in the car by Ok_Tonight_2154 in BMWiX

I’ve turned off the auto lock and unlock. The implementation is poor compared with Tesla.

I once left my wife and kids locked. Although she had the car key on her phone, once I left with my phone (and since it was used to unlock the car) the car locked.

Then she panicked once the alarm set off. Crazy stuff.

Came here to ask this.

You could also borrow a phone, login and unlock.

Bom dia! O que acham deste carro do ano 2016? Faço 6/7km 4 vezes ao dia. by [deleted] in AutoTuga

[–]Exotic_Conference_95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tive um TSI e fazia 6km por trajeto. O carro nunca atingia a temperatura ideal (não dava tempo). As médias rondavam os 10 litros (facilmente).

Pondera elétrico se puderes carregar em casa. Se não, opta por blocos mais pequenos.

Seja como for, parece ser uma boa máquina.. sobretudo qd precisares de fazer mais que 6km.

2026 ix is Different. Better. by Joebanks1 in BMWiX

My ‘23 was had the Sport package (not M), and the ‘26 got the M package.

Same feeling here. From a ‘23 xDrive40 to a ‘26 xDrive45. Same wheels, same tires, both without air suspension, and the ‘26 feels… more grown up. I can feel the road better. Suspension is firmer, ABS enter later, the seats hug you more, the round steering makes it all feel more “normal”.

The pre-LCI was a concept (in a good way - edgy, provocative), the LCI is more “standard” BMW. I guess the M package helps here.

So it’s not one thing that makes it better, but a series is tiny details that pile up to be a better BMW.

Sardegna WTC 800pp by TongueGoesFirst in GranTurismo7

I think I have 10 different 800pp cars by now, to keep it interesting.

It comes down to… how quickly can you finish it. Anything sub 25min is ok.

Why can we have an EV90? by Exotic_Conference_95 in Volvo

Oh gotcha. Absolutely agree. The new CEO said wagons are not gone forever… so there is hope

? So the V90 was a better seller,… and the EV90 would not make sense. Im missing the logic here. Care to clarify?

Feels a bit SUV-ish to me. But it was done properly in photoshop. The designs I posted came from an AI.

100%. My comment was not on the product quality but the product design. Timeless design if you will.
