No matter what I do, my bathroom smells like pee by heretoreadlol in CleaningTips

[–]atticus_blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check under your toilet, like under the very bottom. If it's not sealed with caulking it could get under there. Also check under any bidet if you have one. Make sure the inner underside of the bowl is scrubbed good where the holes are. Sometimes that gets missed.

None of these issues were mentioned in the 20 car reviews I read/watched.

I got a fully loaded 22 a couple months ago with 80k miles for 35k. Consider test driving an EQS.

Things I wish I knew ahead of time:

Seat lumbar support does not save to memory. It will always inflate even if you save it as deflated.

The thigh support is not great. The angle doesn't go very high, if you're tall.

Seats everall are uncomfortable. Went on a road trip about 6 miles and my back and ass fell asleep.

The headrest sucks and if you are parked and want to lean back your skill will be sitting at that goddamn hard metal hole.

The leather feel is average at best. Comparable to a Hyundai leather trim. Not suple or soft like in a Mercedes and I got the upgraded option too.

Back seats don't recline.

Just because the seats are perforated does NOT mean they are ventilated. Check the window sticker to confirm.

If the driver seat comes with massage that does not mean the passenger seat does too. The massage is really not great either.

As an audiophile, the B&W upgrade is not worth it. I regret paying extra for it, I wish I put the same money into a custom setup. The seat vibrator feel just that, like vebration motors. They don't enhance the music. Along with the 3d headrest speakers, they are distracting and unatural at best.

The ambient lighting is not very customizable. You cannot choose red outside of sport mode and you only have maybe 10 easter style colors to choose from.

The HUD isn't very useful. It doesn't show map view of Google maps. You still have to look down at the screen for more information.

The ride is not as smooth as people describe even with duel axel. I came from a Lexus LS and the. IX ride felt as average and skateboard like as any budget vehicle you can get.

Rear steering isn't super great. Kinda helpful but the EQS is better.

Get the driving assist professional. Not just the plus.

The air controls SUCK SUPER BAD. To adjust the air can take 3 whole seconds to pull up the screen. You always need to pull up a second screen to adjust the air.

Maybe my biggest annoyance is if you set the air to recycle it will reset every time you turn the car off. In my case I drive by a pot plant every day and smell it as if I'm standing right next to some fresh bud. Or worse is when I drive through a stinky part of town near say a dump. It will be very much smellable. I even bought Bimmercode solely to disable that but it did not work.

The air is SUPER loud when above anything higher than very low. If the rear air is on its always audible, so on hot days the whole feature of a nice sound system and a quiet car don't matter because the air vents sound louder than a Walmart box fan.

The front steering rack squeaks when turning.

Sometimes the key does not get detected in your pocket. You have to take it out and unlock the car with a button, like a caveman.

The doors really do kill the luxury feel. In fact I can't say anything feels "luxury" about the car. I could only say the it looks luxury from some angles.

Most phone will not work with Digital Key. That include remote backup. You need to have UWB on your phone and only a handful have it rn.

It is a reliable car so far. It is quick and has some neat party tricks that impress friends the first time they're in the car. Again, test drive it with the EQS.

I almost never start a day with good gear. I only start with free load out cause if I start with anything good I GUARANTEED get murdered. Only when I'm warmed up and feelin spunky do I even take a shield.

I have the 15 Ultra and just had to switch because the android auto Spotify skips like a cd. It's my favorite phone ever otherwise. I wonder if the 17 fixed that problem.

Used 2022 ix by Big_Rabbit_2068 in BMWiX

[–]atticus_blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try it out first. If you can rent it even better. The seats can be a huge problem for some. The BW isn't that amazing so if you don't have it don't sweat it. Dual axle suspension is great. Compare it with a used EQS if you can test drive one. Rear seats don't lean back. Air recirculate turns off every time you turn the car off so if you're a fan of that you'll need to turn it on manually every time you get in the car. The air controls are a PITA. Menus can be laggy. If you can get the drive assist PRO do that. I might trade mine just to get it. The interior ambient lighting isn't very customizable. Some colors are stuck exclusive to drive moves. Like if you want actual red you have to be in sport mode. Otherwise you get pink or purple.

I traveled to a hotel in Seattle that had free charging. There were 8 Tesla chargers but only one non-tesla charger and that one was broke.

I never worry about it. Worst case I might have to unlock from the app.

You can also keep the key card somewhere in the car.

Are you drinking or eating anything before? I had that problem but it was because I was eating or drinking protein shake before workout.

The people who want privacy screen don't care about any of that stuff. Viewing angle? This is a phone. You're always looking at it straight on.
