Glad it was helpful! This video should give the gist of the setups - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z33OepdpgrSoY7c There are other videos on the channel that go through the app etc. I don't think the vehicle with 8.5 will be getting idrive 9. iDrive 9 is only for the new X1s and the X2s at the moment, and it's basically the same thing as idrive 8.5 anyway.

Hi, could you guide me on how to adjust the reversing camera? It tilts downwards excessively, and I'm unable to set it to a preferred angle that stays fixed when the car is put in reverse. Thanks
@BeamerView6 ай бұрын
There isn't much adjustment you can do with it unfortunately. One of the only ways i've seen this be able to adjust is when your in the menu that shows the birds eye view of the car "parking assistance button" You should see 3 gray cameras on the birds eye view side, if you select the camera with an A on it, it'll auto adjust your cameras depending on which way your wheel is turning etc. Other than that I would check in settings but I do not believe there is another way.

The ambient lighting can be turned off, there is a on/off switch in the menu. Yes both the 1 and 2 positions are located on the door which you can set. Personally haven't tried the pre-heat mode for the i5, but for all the other BMWs it's never been an issue so I'm sure it's about what you would expect. It does do a more efficient job when the vehicle is plugged in.

Please describe the ride quality on these 21 wheels. Would you recommend to go with 19th (in my opinion 19 wheels do not look right on this G60) or 21 with possible sacrificing on ride quality?
@BeamerView7 ай бұрын
Ride quality felt fine to me, knowing that it's a m60 version, I would also expect it to be more on the tigher sporty side of things, but it wasn't anything unbearable. I would opt in for the 21s but I would also make sure you have a wheel and tire protection package since anything 19 inch and above are prone to bent rims from pot holes.

I drive a 520d X-D 190hp G30 with 245/35 20 (front) and 275/30 20 (rear), both RunFlat. The better driving performances do not compensate the extra noise, stiffness and limited steering radius. On the G60 I’d would either recommend the 245/40 20 (front) and 275/35 20 (rear) combo or the 245/45 19 (front) and 275/40 19 (rear).

I foolishly stepped away from the iX I had for the past year to try to save money, and got a Genesis GV60. And when I drive that more than 30 minutes (guess how long my test drive was), it kills my back and legs. I talked to the BMW dealership, and they had a discounted iX. So I went in to check it out and it was what I remembered from before I ditched my last one so I was ready to take it, but then saw they had a demo unit i5 available. So I asked "Hey while I'm here, can I see how I fit in this (I'm a wide guy working on losing weight) and see how it drives? They were like "Sure!" It drove amazingly. I think it looked amazing. So I asked them if I could take the demo model home the next day and they, again, said sure. And, well, the rest was history. I actually liked the design from when I first saw it, but figured I wouldn't be able to fit comfortably in it but was surprised when I did. And now I'm bringing home a Brooklyn Grey i5 M60 tomorrow afternoon. Pretty excited!
