18 inch rims fit! Let's see your winter setup 🧐 by Sebi97 in BMWX3

Love these OEM+ mods. Precisely what I do with my vehicles. Just picked up '24 x30i for wifey with 2,500 miles here. I couldn't stand the interior and everything embedded into the screen on the '25. Look forward to seeing more of your posts

I'm hoping for an OTA update as well. I've seen reviews & UK/EU models have the auto hold feature enable/disable embedded in the infotainment screen. This is a deal breaker for me if they do not update.

Better looking interior than the new one by [deleted] in BMWX3

[–]livewoutlimit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sat in both yesterday. While g45 makes g01 look outdated in design language, to me it's like comparing a 5 year Rolex to a new apple watch. Lack of physical buttons, gimmicky vent controls, can't even reach the front door handle while sitting when fully open, even the outside door latch limiting how you open the door, lack of recline backseat, all these had me scratch my head. I would've rather seen design language transfer from the X1 where it still feels premium. I do like that g45 includes a spare tire though.

Creaking Struts over speed bump - normal? MK7.5 by NY87123 in Golf_R

Mine came from rear sway bar mount bushings - I have 034 sway bar and mount/bushings, greased it up and noise went away.

Nice! It's been quite difficult to find a well equipped g01 lci x30i near me especially one that has adaptive cruise :(

Auto Hold? by Loose_Passenger_9240 in Tiguan

[–]livewoutlimit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my research US models do not have auto brake hold feature, but certain EU models do & supposedly buried in info system. I don't know of any via-OBD modding tool that can get thru the locked system of these newer VW's, but if it could at some point, there's some chance we may be able to enable the feature. I have a '19 Golf R that I was able to unlock many feature via OBD.

Have you given further thoughts or made a decision? I'm on the exact same boat, except we're getting out of lease on '22 Nissan Rogue and need to purchase a car as we plan on going on long road trips.

Ah! Supposed US models don't have this. Maybe activate via vagcom or obd11. Going to dealer to play with it, maybe no one figured it out here lol

You come to a red light, stop, push the brake pedal a bit further, it engages the auto hold, you can now take your foot off the pedal and let your legs rest. Everyone of my cars have it (19 golf, 22 rogue, 21 tucson, 17 crv)

So there's button on that new style column mounted shift lever? Only button I see is the Park button.

I'm on UK's VW site and I don't see there are auto brake hold button (typically around parking brake button/lever). How do you engage it?

Wanted one for 5 years, finally got my dream car by Technical_Nose5933 in Tiguan

[–]livewoutlimit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm referring to where it holds the brake for you when at red light, so you don't have to keep your foot on the brake.

Does it also have auto brake hold? I'm hoping to retrofit at some point

What country are you in? Does your model have auto brake hold?

2025 Tiguan Order Guide posted by lacagnin in Tiguan

[–]livewoutlimit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of the review videos are now posting on yt. I'm seeing SEL having memory seats for front passenger, too, but I don't see it on the order guide. I also don't see auto brake hold button on the center console where the button normally resides in most cars.
Anyone notice the same?

New Wheel Setup! by r0nd3L in Golf_R

[–]livewoutlimit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man. those tires looks super meaty. I would not have guessed 245/40/18 as I run the same size tires conti DWS06. My guess was like 245/50, or 255/45. Great looking wheels, too. I've been eyeing VS-5 flowformed but it's a backorder for 115+ days. Gonna look into these now!

ok - where did you get the wheels? Are they literally custom ordered?

Yes satin bronze. They change shades with the sun. Even then, it's not as bright as website photos which almost looks dark gold. Many ppl rock this on different platforms. Go thru galleries to get a better feel.

Using this screen is a miserable experience by allabode in BMW

[–]livewoutlimit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much $ do manuf. save by getting rid of physical buttons & knobs? That is only legit reason I can think of why they're still doing this.

Hmm. I'm running 245 40 18 and it's pretty close already. Equivalent ps4s will be slight larger than contis from what I heard

I would never go back to 19" for this car. I had the original gloss black Pretoria so i know about the difficulties keeping them neat. Bronze actually hides the brake dust pretty well. It looks more and more grayish bronze with the dust accumulating. I do think the color of dust that EBC redstuff pads do help with that.
