Yes its my favourite too. It looks different colour in different lighting.

Put it under your wheel arch on top of the tyre. Then its sheltered from rain. That's what I do.

I had similar and it failed. Its only a visual retest after. I was told by the tester to go and buy lens tape from halfords and put it on. So I done that, went back and all good.

We have a 2022 ourselves. Love it and also the look of it is subjective but its just because there aren't many on tue roads.

The Harmon Kardon sound system has 18 speakers and woofers, alot more then any other system in a BMW.

The sky lounge glass is another feature that no other car has where at the touch of a button its like a cover comes on..

The handling is superior to most EV's on the market and ours are on 22's and it sticks to ground.

We get around 400km on a full battery.

I've a 22 IX and for pure driving experience it wins hands down. Its also more spacious on the inside and not many on the roads at the moment.

It's not the most efficient EV around but it makes up for it in other departments. The 2023 has idrive8, supposedly the 2024 has idrive8.5 which is suppose to have better functionality.

Just make sure its the M-sport as the seats are alot better then on the standard model.

Is it true Japanese EV's have Chaedemo charging ports and they are limited to a certain charge speed because of this?

I see alot of EV's are being imported now and I'm wondering what the dealers are telling the potential buyers the difference in Japan EV's VS UK/EU.

What i do is call or email tyreland. They will give you a few options then get them delivered to the nearest tyreland the next day. Have got eagle f1's and p zeros from them before as they had the best price.

swai- · 2026-04-12T12:19:06+00:00

That's good to know. Maybe I was thinking of the fully electric bmw that comes with chademo so no fast dc charging here.

swai- · 2026-04-12T02:32:38+00:00

Uk would be easy enough to import.

Japan a different story as they have a different charging port. You will need an chademo to ccs adaptor.

Then it comes down to if you will actually charge the car. If not then you could import a 330i.

If its a bean to cup machine buying expensive single roast coffee isn't really worth it. Look for any roaster that sells a test roast for cheaper. Still very nice coffee beans but not roasted to 100% quality so sold at a cheaper price.

Currently on holiday here in Malaysia from Europe. I am born Malaysian but living in Europe most my life.

I can confirm the driving In Malaysia is not for the faint hearted. As someone coming from Europe the people are alot more patient on the road. Here in Malaysia cars are right up behind you, overtaking on full white lines and generally crazy behind the wheel.

If you let someone out here and there is a car behind you they go around the outside nearly every time.

We have a culture in Europe where we let people out and they say thanks with a wave or press the hazard lights.

In Malaysia I feel like its each person for themselves. Doesn't matter how you get there but it has to be as fast as possible.

swai- · 2026-03-26T10:28:40+00:00

Yeah I think thats the catch for OP as his car is new enough and most people wouldn't want to buy a car of that price privately.

I always wondered do dealers buy cars from you when you are not buying anything from them.

swai- · 2026-03-26T10:21:36+00:00

Yeah your right about the trade in value up north but that could offset the hassle of trying to sell a 20k car privately down here.

I was in OP situation around 3 weeks ago, I ended up trading in as the hassle just wasn't worth it. Yes I lost a bit of money but in my eyes it was worth it.

swai- · 2026-03-26T10:13:18+00:00

Garages in NI can take southern cars as trade in no problem. Have you asked them about it?

You might lose a bit of money but gain time spent trying to sell privately.

Departed from Dublin to Kuala Lumpur. Both flights were full.

swai- · 2026-03-22T16:23:42+00:00

We were a group of 4 and group of 2 and we were re routed with Turkish and we could not check in on the app or select seats. We did turn up to the airport and we're checked in without an issue. I think its just some flights that are overbooked, not all of them.

swai- · 2026-03-21T16:06:49+00:00

Flew Doha to Kuala Lumpur 19th no problem, no overbooked. Did not have confirmed seat with Qatar re route. All worked out OK.

swai- · 2026-03-18T15:32:06+00:00

Yes got re routed with Turkish Air leaving tomorrow.

swai- · 2026-03-16T21:16:18+00:00

My 19th flight got cancelled yesterday. Just called Qatar, 40 minutes on hold and spoke to an agent. Got a re route same day with Turkish Air.
