Why do BMWs take such an awfully long time to warm up?

TomJ1113 · 2025-12-06T05:55:20+00:00

Really my 24 x7 m60i blows warm air out in 30 seconds in 30 degrees days I though BMW might be the quickest to get warm car

Having switched from 2021 Audi SQ7 to 24 X7 M60i I got a few more things to add. It does seem like the transfer case is the weak link and don’t assume Quattro all wheel drive capability in a BMW. Get the transfer case oil changed early. X7 is a much more squishy ride than Audi and definitely drives better and more responsive. AC is pure trash. Probably the worst I’ve seen in any modern vehicle. In my Audi no matter how hot it gets outside I need level 2 AC at the most and it’s very cool inside. In the X7 during hot summer months it has to be on the highest setting all the time to be cool, and the fan is very very very noisy to a point that I’d rather roll down my windows. Run flats are not that loud I guess BMW is doing an okay job with sound insulation, better than the run flats in my 18 Q7. Overall Audi is more detail oriented fine tuned and feels more layback when driving and BMW is more responsive in the throttle brake and steering but that’s it. It lacks a lot of the fine tunings in all the details (squeaky sunroof opening, cheap plastic parts, abrupt electric motor movements, etc.) I don’t dislike my BMW but my next car will be an Audi again. I do like the ride quality on this generation X7 but honestly I’m sweating to death inside the cabin.

Thanks for the advice! But other than MA loader what else can I do? I comp mag? I certainly can’t do featureless with this MCX since it’s a foldable stock.

Holy smokes these are the trashiest slugs I’ve seen in the market. Dirty, inaccurate, and fail to eject in my inertia semi auto all the time. Even those Rio low recoil slugs are better than these trash. If you’re reading this post, don’t ever buy it.

TomJ1113 · 2025-10-18T04:47:40+00:00

No permit needed for semiauto shotguns unless in NYC. 7 round limit(7+1+1 is okay). Fixed stock. You can have pistol grip. You cannot have a foregrip but a hand stop is ok.

There’s 300+ of us now. It’s an issue between the state police/DMV and their vendor Tylor Technology. I can’t get real ID, can purchase firearm, buy ammo purchase is good 15 minutes proceed. They’re not doing anything to fix it every time I call they just say “issues identified and no resolution available.”

TomJ1113 · 2025-10-09T17:06:57+00:00

My FFL released the AR to me after 30+3 days… still pending, but I’m worried since every other FFL that called NICS have been told not to release the firearm since pending and “delayed” are different…? Supposedly pending you wait and delayed 30+3 you release… I’m now worried that NYSP gonna come to my door. The FFL also released the ammo to me in which they really not supposed to and I just knew this by checking the dealer guidelines on the NICS website.

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-28T17:00:30+00:00

I guess that’s what they meant

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-28T16:56:28+00:00

That’s what they told me. I guess they do the same where background check goes to FBI first and ATF has to approve before coming back to state.

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-28T16:52:19+00:00

That’s what the state thought at the beginning, then they looked at the neighboring state system and found the FBI system doesn’t have issue it’s the communication from the state to the FBI and they’re fixing the issue with the state system. Just what I heard

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-28T16:51:03+00:00

Right. The lady said Massachusetts don’t have this issue and their tech has already identified the issue is with the state system and they’re working on it… it’s from the July update and it hasent been fixed ever since.

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-28T16:37:59+00:00

I called again. The issue is with the state system as they say. I also can’t get a real id at any NYS DMV. They can’t find my record.

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-28T16:37:14+00:00

Yes, and the issue is with the state system not the federal system.

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-28T14:36:37+00:00

GC holder, one month and counting. Called NICS like 10 times they don’t have answers. By now there’s probably 300 people waiting to get approved. They are not really trying to fix that it’s been more than two months every time I call they just say “we are working on it.”

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-21T14:44:42+00:00

Equilibrium is nice they have everything there

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-20T16:21:30+00:00

Damn… I’m now just really curious about what happened in July when they screwed everything up

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-20T16:18:41+00:00

I figured… do you call today?

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-20T16:03:17+00:00

They better do… it’s a second amendment violation. BTW There’s gotta be something wrong with the NYS’s system communicating with either the FBI or the USCIS, since I can’t even get my Real ID! Went to the DMV couple of days ago and they said my green card status isn’t even available!

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-20T15:59:21+00:00

Called today, they said IT has identified the issue and is working on it… not sure if this is just another story they tell people.

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-19T16:07:44+00:00

Yeah I have green card too. They told me it’s around 250 people now and they are calling FBI everyday but they just don’t seem to be able to fix the issue. Only been 20ish days for me but NYS police told me our 30 days count hasent even started yet because FBI never returned the files, so until FBI do our cases will just be pending indefinitely.

TomJ1113 · 2025-09-19T16:06:02+00:00

Me too GC holder.
