Another way to avoid the car shutting off is to use sport individual mode and set everything to comfort so your gas mileage isn’t affected

That's currently what I have set as an individual for when I want to have that feature turned off. I saw it in another KZbin Video, in the comments. Just wish there was a button or a toggle on/off on the settings on the screen.

The climate control has additional control under settings in the climate menu. You can make 70 degrees cold or hot. There's literally a hot/cold scale under settings. It's to fine tune your temperature selection. It's been a thing in BMW for years. My 2014 X3 has it on the actual vents and my 23 M340 has it in idrive 8. Same concept

Pre-LCI had available rear heated seats. I didn’t spec them on my 2020 330i, but it for sure was an option. As for cooling seats, I sort of wish it had them too. Then again, never had an issue with the Vernasca leather in Dallas summers mostly because the Max AC button (and remote start) usually help cool the cabin down very quickly. Even though my previous car before the 3 had cooled seats, I ended up not missing them. In fact, my new 2023 M340i has Vernasca leather again since it really didn’t turn out to be as big of an issue for me as I thought it would.

I just bought my 2023 BMW 330I Xdrive a week ago and I will say there was alot to be desired in the features dept. Cons: 1.) Location of cup holders in reference to wireless chargers. 2.) Phone calls or music connecting to the car prior to me actually starting the car. 3.) Calls staying in the car even after turning the car off. 4.) Using phone as your key to enter the vehicle. Goes to start vehicle, car shuts off and says “key is not recognized or found” Has to wait 10 seconds before attempting to start it again. Even though the key fob is in the cup holder. 5.) Under utilized screen space for climate presets. The temperature option is always available. Optioning to be able to have more climate controls at the bottom of the screen like the temperature would of been more convenient, since you cannot access the all of the climate functions until touching the screen. 6.) Lastly, no indication on whether or not your heated steering wheel is activated or not. Something as simple as there being an icon on the gauge cluster or having the button change colors when in use so you know it has been activated would be a simple fix. I know some of these are small complaints, but I will say they are features that make it less convenient of a drive for me personally!

I agree with most. the cup holder seems to be an issue for me as I always put my phone in there to charge. I have drinks and can't reach for it. The steering wheel also annoys me because sometimes its on as soon as I turn the car on and I don't realize until my hands feel all warm.

Cup holders and digital key do not bother me at all.. Only water allowed in my car so stick your bottle in the door. The digital key IMO is just for emergencies, its just way too inconvenient all the way around to use it on the daily. I will say thou, the thing i find most annoying is when carplay is connected and say im on the BMW screen (like in Sirius) , if someone texts me it opens carplay full screen over what i was on and i lose that spot.. I ended up making it so my phone does into DND when its on carplay.. but not ideal.

I stick with wires, and have one of those which you can share the wires with frds to charge at the same time.

Having said that, I spec’d it again for my new car only because you get BMW Digital Key with it.

@@G20Storm The builder is weird. When you add wireless charger, it’ll add something like “removal of digital key deletion” which is basically a double negative. It’s because of supply chain shortages. BMW Digital Key is supposed to be standard across the board pre-LCI. But then the chip shortage happened so BMW started crediting everyone for the feature missing. Then it came back, but only for folks with wireless charging. It’s confusing for sure.

I recently bought a new 2023 BMW M340i xDrive. It is a very enjoyable and fun driving machine. Except..... I hate the controls on this irritating car. Everything that you need to do you have to do through the infotainment center screen and many options are buried several layers deep. It is a horrible, lousy, poor, very difficult and time consuming design. It is also very dangerous for the poor driver. Whoever designed this horrendous controls should be fired. I wish I knew these design faults as I would have never bought this car. It is my fault. A big shame on BMW. Check these controls before you buy this model. You have been forewarned. Check everything thoroughly. Hope BMW will redesign all the horrible and irritating controls for 2024. Another issue I have is that even when the AC is OFF I get cold air blowing thru the vents as if AC is ON. Not all the time but it does occur many times. Is there a hidden setting that may fix this unwanted feature?
