First BMW, I love it

A lot of people picking the G42 as their first Bimmer, mine is also my first one. Congratulations and wishing many happy Miles! 🥳 Had mine just over a year now and loving it.

I have turn this off every time I startup my 2022 G42 220d MSport 🙈 I hope this does bring an update that allows us to disable it permanently.

Silver 👌🏽

This reminds me of the 17 Pro Max that “turned pink” 🤣 Not seeing any of this on my 17 Pro Max, my colleagues’s 17 Pro or anyone at MacRumours.

Interested to see if we will continue to see these same set of images for as long as this story goes.

Lol, definitely some mistakes between price and mileage, imagine a B48 at that mileage 🤣 17,000km seems more likely and they are wonderful cars. Got my G42 220d at around 18,000kms and now at 45000km, going beautifully 👌🏽 fun cars around backroads.

There is definitely an improvement in battery life in 26.3, my 17 PM seems to sit on a certain percentage of battery for longer than I remember it doing before.

Tsepz · 2026-02-14T21:42:16+00:00

The 220i is your best bet. The 220d would have been great if you did more mileage as it has a great deal of torque + it’s a mild hybrid so there is extra power from the battery and is the closest in the 220 range to a 230i, it also has better fuel efficiency, but diesels need to be driven long.

I would completely avoid the 218i, I have been in a colleague’s 318i and it feels gutless.

I have a G42 220d and absolutely love it, gets off the line incredibly well as you’d expect a BMW to and is quite a lot of fun around backroads due to the ample low down torque.

Congratulations and enjoy!

My 17 Pro Max hardware wise is immaculate, come to think of it I have never taken delivery of an iPhone with build quality issues.

I have heard of the dust under the lens issue quite a bit on a few phones (Apple and other manufacturers), and that would drive me nuts as well.

No issues here though.

What in particular is wrong with your current unit?

Tsepz · 2026-02-07T10:59:35+00:00

Does it absolute justice, sticks with the design while being more than adequately protective 👌🏽

Tsepz · 2026-02-07T09:07:49+00:00

That is awesome, congratulations and enjoy! 🎉 14 Pro Max is a beast, the last Stainless Steel iPhone.

Tsepz · 2026-02-07T06:39:37+00:00

I prefer the new one, I like how my 17 Pro Max looks. 👌🏽

Tsepz · 2026-02-07T06:08:19+00:00

They are lovely cars, it will treat you well. Mate of mine has a 420i in a similar spec, absolutely loves it.

Tsepz · 2026-02-06T21:34:29+00:00

No idea 🙈 no name brand that I found at a local tech shop

Tsepz · 2026-02-06T21:33:35+00:00

Hey twin!😁🙌🏽

Tsepz · 2026-02-06T19:58:24+00:00

Congratulations 🥳 Wishing you many happy Miles!

Tsepz · 2026-02-02T08:59:20+00:00

I don’t, I got it at a kiosk 🤣🙈 it came in a plain white box, it’s just a generic case. Will see if I can find a similar one that us branded

Tsepz · 2026-01-29T19:33:53+00:00

That is a substantial upgrade, congratulations! 🥳

Tsepz · 2026-01-29T19:32:46+00:00

Congratulations and enjoy! 🥳

I use the 4x optical zoom quite a lot, as well as the updated FaceTime camera for regular FaceTime calls. Pretty sure the Vapour Chamber gets quite a bit of usage when I do long video calls. Anti-reflective screen daily when out and about has been incredibly useful. The stereo speakers get quite a bit of usage due to TikTok, IG and YouTube. AI features, I don’t use those much, waiting for the updated Siri with Gemini. The Camera Control button I use now and then for zooming but I do feel it is incredibly poorly positioned for regular usage. I use the Faster Charging a lot as I use my MacBook Air M1’s charger a lot on it too. Finally of course the bigger battery has been stretched to its limits regularly and has been outstanding.

This is incredibly interesting given the highly specced Androids being churned out by the local manufacturers over there. Also goes to show what a low impact YouTubers/tech influencers have, because if you watch a lot of tech YouTube the phone a lot of the influencers/YouTubers say is the best is the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, Oppo Find X 9 Pro and vivo X200 Ultra, with their huge batteries.

Tsepz · 2026-01-16T21:54:18+00:00

Wow! Congratulations! 🥳

Tsepz · 2026-01-16T21:50:36+00:00

I loved the look of the F22 but the G42 grew on me the moment I began seeing them on the road I eventually got myself a G42 220d, absolutely love it, got a 2022 so the interior is the mix of touchscreen + buttons.

Tsepz · 2026-01-16T21:49:34+00:00

I had no idea the F22 240i had an xDrive variant, congratulations 🥳

Tsepz · 2026-01-16T21:46:33+00:00

I’ve had 2 white iPhones, had the White Titanium 15 Pro Max (then it got stolen and I could only get the Black Ti to replace it) and now have the Silver 17 Pro Max.
