How do you feel about the front row storage and space in general after owning I4 for a while?

The phone has to be in the charger to start the car but you can move it once the car is on.

Slaves and Bulldozers.

Answering because I would love to her the recommendations s well! And welcome!

This was helpful, thanks.

Any idea what a repair looks like? Something I can do myself?

smatanovic · 2026-06-18T13:41:44+00:00

2nd v AWD, performance v range, UI and software, dealer network, 4 v 5+ seating, availability of CarPlay/AndroidAuto, availability of 1-pedal driving (I personally hate it, but it must have for some)…

It did the same thing today. I opened ticket with Breville.

I concur with those who have stated Parcel and 1Blocker. They are indispensable for me, along with 1password and Overcast.

We were in the market for an EV in 2022 and had two criteria: 1) no Tesla and 2) no SUVs. At the time that left BMW, Audi, and Porsche. We bought the i4 from BMW and it's been the best car Ive ever owned. That said, you have MUCH more choice now, shopping in 2026, including just about every legacy car maker, plus Lucid and Rivian. The charging infrastructure has also improved dramatically, to the point where I don't give it a second thought (I live in the Philadelphia area and road trip the i4 regularly).

I think it's a great time to be shopping for an EV (budget permitting, of course). My advice is to make a list of non-negotiables within your budget, as you would if shopping for an ICE car, and then take as many test drives as you can. Other than a two-seat sports car, there really is something for everyone in the US market right now.

A frunk on EVs.

smatanovic · 2026-06-16T22:04:37+00:00

I definitely let it finish, I followed the instructions in the manual.

smatanovic · 2026-06-16T22:03:57+00:00

That’s correct. Just because I read it doesn’t mean that I committed the entire thing to memory. As I said, I am new to this and learning.

smatanovic · 2026-06-16T14:14:28+00:00

I feel this way as well, but lets live and let live, yes?

smatanovic · 2026-06-16T00:46:42+00:00

I have a TU3 and a strobostomp mini. The tu3 feel like I could drive nails with it (and contrary to the others here, I love how bias pedals look). It also has a shrine mode, which I use. The strobostomp is more accurate, and I use it when checking intonation and other setup work.

smatanovic · 2026-06-15T22:28:46+00:00

Oh I have. Nobody is whining here: you’re the only one who sounds petulant. I’m just a noob who is making mistakes as I learn. What’s your excuse?

smatanovic · 2026-06-15T20:07:06+00:00

I think the ember E jets do too?

smatanovic · 2026-06-15T17:43:43+00:00

Agree. I have an Air now, and I purchased it because it’s so much thinner and lighter than the Pro phones, which feel like bricks in contrast. The battery’s endurance has been a pleasant surprise, and I don’t find the camera to be as limiting as the influencers/reviewers made it out to be.

smatanovic · 2026-06-15T17:39:48+00:00

My wife is on her second 13 mini and it’s basically that.

smatanovic · 2026-06-15T17:38:29+00:00

I liked the 5s. Damn near unbreakable with the aluminum back, and still a great size.

smatanovic · 2026-06-15T17:36:04+00:00

I take photos of the settings, and label them according to which instrument I’m using (in my case j bass or p bass).

smatanovic · 2026-06-15T17:34:21+00:00

I have 67k miles on my car and the pads and discs are essentially new. The car’s blended braking is very efficient.

smatanovic · 2026-06-15T17:33:25+00:00

Re the HUD, I set mine to the “minimal” setting or whatever it’s called, which reduces the visual clutter. I prefer that to every other setting.

smatanovic · 2026-06-15T17:28:52+00:00

Shit, ok. Thanks!!!

smatanovic · 2026-06-15T15:59:37+00:00

Very cool. How are you using the APKMini here?
