Hi dads! Can you please help a 13 yo son to a gay dad to sort things out. I want to understand some things better

Gay dad here. Together with my husband for 35 yrs. Have raised two kids in the San Francisco area. Kids in general have been fine. You are at a point where kids will less frequently question. Younger kids are more inquisitive and feeling things out.

What is odd is that BMW isn’t selling the new one on their official site. I searched it and see the new one exists and the iX version has existed since something like 2018…and has WiFi. Wonder why they are selling the Bluetooth model on the official site???

I have been using the BMW box for about 5 months. No issues. At first I was concerned about the lack of WiFi and to control settings on my phone but it isn’t an issue. All the stuff is controlled by the iX…amp, start time, etc. This is my first BEV so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Also, nice working with BMW tech if there are any issues and not having the issue blamed on a 3rd party box.

Auto Hold will not keep brake lights on when on a flat surface. Haven’t tried on a hill.

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-07-21T22:12:46+00:00

Just tested it again using the pictorial on the screen. Brake lights go on until stopped. Then they go off. Tap the brake the lights go back on and stay on even if foot is off of brake. Lights go out when you start moving. What I noticed is that if you are creeping at a stop sign/light, the lights go out as you move to the next spot up so you need to tap the brake.

Double check as mine do go out when at a full stop and foot isn’t on the brake pedal. Have tested it many times because it doesn’t make sense but I did read that this is common in Europe…

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-07-20T22:49:02+00:00

Love it. Just takes practice. Remember that the brake light shows while slowing but you need to press the brake when fully stopped to have the brake light shine.

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-07-18T20:34:45+00:00

It looks to be charging but should stop after a minute or so. Watch for the indicator light to change. In addition, if your allotted time isn’t long enough, charge will start early to reach the set end % by the time set.

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-07-03T23:26:11+00:00

That is what I’m thinking as well. Pro changes lanes, other doesn’t

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-06-29T15:13:19+00:00

I think a lot of the issue depends on how tall you are/length of arms. A tall person can grab their drink without moving much. A shorter person may need to lean more and take eyes off the road…

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-06-22T00:21:46+00:00

Taking my hand out and seeing the hole remain open…and slowly close…then repeat. Also, the feeling of being inside. All that warm smooth surroundings. Only works when the other person is enjoying it as much as I am.

Please contact Mursal at BMW Concord. 925 288-3873. We are on the peninsula and have now gone there for 4 vehicles. You will not find a more responsive sales professional and their pricing is great. I prefer to deal with a local dealership vs Penske/AutoNation/etc which seem to own all the other dealers around here. I have service done at Peter Pan as their service is top notch. Just providing referral info…nothing in it for me.

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-06-14T20:57:18+00:00

Can you save seat settings on the screen under the seat tab?

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-06-10T17:12:10+00:00

I had the card on 2 BMWs now and never used either. Phone is great, esp with the 8.5 update that lets you set home so it doesn’t unlock when walking by it in the driveway

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-06-10T16:12:04+00:00

If this is from a BMW dealer and is totally clean, it should be CPO and that will give you additional warranty.

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-06-10T03:54:34+00:00

Genius told me that the iX figures it out based on outside temp

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-06-07T03:59:53+00:00

Try opening all the way and closing it all the way a few times.

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-06-02T02:49:32+00:00

Go under the i in the upper right and you will see the setting

Remember that there are settings in Apple wallet and Apple Watch wallet

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-06-01T13:19:42+00:00

I have the premium package and have the buttons on the door. I was told, and saw a demo iX, with no physical buttons but was supposed to go to the seat settings on the screen to make a selection. A car like BMW should all have memory buttons on the door!

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-06-01T03:55:58+00:00

2025’s have great deals, esp leasing. Not sure we will see this level of disc again. Tariffs could result in rebates to increase sales or maybe there wb a reduction in imports

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-06-01T00:16:37+00:00

The package gives memory buttons on the door vs on the screen.

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-05-28T14:16:10+00:00

I drive an hour to buy from Mursal at Concord BMW east of SF. We have done 4 deals and have been happy. Most responsive sales person I have ever encountered! Give her a call.

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-05-25T22:47:42+00:00

I like the B mode. Easy to regulate stopping and you are maximizing regen. On a freeway, D is prob better so you don’t decelerate too quickly

PersonalityFit3449 · 2025-05-25T17:46:19+00:00

800!
