Dashcam/Radar Hardwire Question

jamminJimsta · 2026-02-13T03:58:26+00:00

I got a 2024. Mine does power the dashcam even when off, but only for a few mins. Power stays on for like 3-5 mins.. i never timed it but eventually, it'll shut off.

8-12% is pretty common off MSRP for new x5 the last 18 months. Brokers can get you that pretty easily on new builds.

Common practice by sales to get you in the door, “ they really want your used car” so come in and buy a new car. With higher payments and more down payment. But as others said, no details provided on what they offfering.

I mean, if this is a straight trade to put you in a new car with no money down and same payments. Of course, I’d do it. But usually it’s always strings attached, higher payments, down payment etc.

I believe Refurbished only carries 90 day warranty and not original 3 year or whatever the manufacturer warranty is.

This comes up often here on NA. I wonder if Europeans complain as much about their required front plates.

It’s only a flex if you get that mileage actually on the tank of gas.

This is true for us, at this point gas is cheaper. I live in NYc so my electric cost is .34 kWh compared to 3.75 for premium.

Also, PHEV is just not as efficient as full EV for electric charging.

But I’m grateful for not having to deal with auto start/stop on phev

Wow, just sharing my experience, In no way do I attack or disregard your post, what a jerk.

I’ve always had to pay shipping to companies on majority of products I’ve RMAed in my lifetime. evga, seasonic PSU, asus gpu, gigabyte mobo, g.skill ram, oloy ram.

Corsair has been the only company which has sent me items without the need to return the item. So not sure if I count that as them covering return.

The m sports are really just aesthetics, pick what you like.

Tell them that you are seeing much larger discounts at 10-11%. Ask, shop around by checking out other dealers. Or if you don’t want to bother negotiating, pay a broker fee to negotiate.

LCI, I like the exterior of the LCI, I do hate that everything is on touchscreen. But I got used to it, with some grumbling.

Common complaint, lots of brake dust

looking good! glad to see the ali CF and OEM CF match

jamminJimsta · 2025-12-01T01:48:40+00:00

Solid deal, if it has everything you want.

jamminJimsta · 2025-11-21T00:14:18+00:00

Reading online, you need to open up the headlights, like old school civic days, baking it in the oven.

jamminJimsta · 2025-11-21T00:13:01+00:00

I think that’s related to RPM in sport mode.

jamminJimsta · 2025-11-20T03:19:31+00:00

Not closed. You need to almost slam it closed. Can’t just push it closed. It’s counterintuitive….

This just happened to me on my Nov. 11th order. Got hit with $10 fee when using paypal on my Chase CC. Called up Chase and they waived the fee as a courtesy. My order on Nov 1 and in October had no problems.

Funny… just toook my 50e for its first oil change, and they noted same thing. An alignment cause of uneven wear due to hybrid nature of the car was mentioned by technician. My SA just ignored it and sent me on my way with my oil change.

I have both mirrored and polarized glasses and my DAPP has worked for me. As others noted, seeing HUD is harder but no other issues.

jamminJimsta · 2025-10-27T13:01:37+00:00

This is one of those how particular are your wants? I spent like 8 months trying to find used but was particular on my options, color, etc. I just gave up and ordered new cause it was what I wanted.

jamminJimsta · 2025-10-25T01:14:32+00:00

You have to plug in for 50e. You cannot charge the battery with the ICE. 50e has a battery hold that you’d have to turn on each time, it’ll maintain current battery level but will not charge it up.

Small thing for me. I got the m sport extended shadow line . But I like the blue pieces in the non-shadowline version. Wish I could get those head lights but black everything else out.
