You are correct about two of your observations firstly the passenger seat belt does rattle when there is no passenger in the car due to the hard plastic B post I have stuck a velcro pad on the area The second issue is the locking button on the drivers door used to be on the centre of the dash so the passenger can reach it if they are in the car on their own now it’s almost impossible to reach

First, I am really enjoying the car overall, however I do agree on the passenger seat belt rattling when left by a passenger, as unless you reach over and turn the buckle so the metal is on the inside, the rattle against the plastic B pillar is quite annoying. Also trying to change to Eco mode or changing back to Comfort etc, means you have to take your eyes off the road to FIND the correct button in the lower middle console - that's quite a miss of BMW I feel. For the Safety of a passenger the lock/unlock being only on the driver door is a fair criticism too. Thanks for the review tho - very useful and hopefully BMW will take note..

My criticisms, and I have OWNED this car are two - Drivers side wing mirror blind spot, quite bad, you have to have to move seat to an unsuitable position to eliminate the blind spot. Also the drivers seat on RHD models is not in an ideal position, because your right foot when it's on the throttle means your right thigh is actually on the seat bolster instead of on the actual seat, as you should be. My own personal experience after short term ownership of a G20 330i. Now got an M135i without these issues. I'm average height and build so it's not me, it's the car. Design flaws unfortunately.

Just had one on test drive for 2 days. Great car to drive, engine and chassis fantastic. Howere the idrive system is horrible. Can not connect samsung s9+ via usb for music play back. On bluetooth sometimes works other times does not. Reloads list all the time. Searching for music is to many steps. System even at one point displayed menu twice. Ie seach then showes list, album, artist, track for the next part to be same thing again. Then at one point showed list of songs but when you select a song it just played the same song already playing. Cruise conrol over complicted. To be able to activate it you first have to make sure cruise is on and in mode. You can leave it on ready for setting speed via toggle, the set light in dash is only way to tell its on. Problem with leaving it on is if you have it on distance and lane assiat mode the lane assist works all the time even if you turn it off in main settings and are not activally using cruise. Several times i had it pull the car hard if you start to cross a line with out indicating. Ie had motor bike turning right went to go past on left and car goes just over white line it pulled to the right big time and almost caused and accident. About 6 times in 2 days it activated when not needed. Last of all had parked car and gone inside, i was using my phone to watch you tube and all of a suddenly no sound, car had woken up and taken the bluetooth audio. Happened twice first time after abiut 20 mins 2nd time about 2 hrs after parking.

Do you know if the windscreen washer jets on the wiper arms are heated to prevent icing up in winter? I can't find out anywhere, there is no option for it at any spec level in the online configurator and it doesn't seemed to be mentioned in the brochure download. Have you had any winter cold weather issues with the car? One minor ergonomic thing I like in my F22 2 series (which I believe is the same in the F30 old 3 series) is that with auto wipers activated (button on end of right stalk with amber 'on' LED next to it), if they aren't wiping when you want/need you can simply nudge the right stalk for an extra windscreen wipe without deactivating 'auto' wipers. Is this still possible in the G20? It annoys me in my wife's golf that for auto wipers you put the right stick up one position, then you have to nudge it down through 'off' and tap down again to trigger a single wipe, then you have to manually return it back to the auto position.

Hi yes I believe they are heated. I've never had an issue in the winter months with them. I agree with the auto wiper stalk. On all 2018 onwards BMW have changed the button for auto wipers into the stalk function.

Why? Because it's all a point of behaviour ;). I always guide the seat belt into his "parking position". But I also know what you mean because I see some and enough people who only loose the lock and then the seat belt snaps back. And result? Scratches on B-pillar and side windows....

I watched it as I thought you may be pointing out some things that I hadn’t noticed ... but no I can confidently say I’ve noticed none of what your said as bothersome. I’ve had numerous bmw F30, Mercedes W205 even my latest ride a Range Rover and the G20 feels and drivers far superior and the others had far more issues then the G20 🤷🏻♂️

Should i swap my a4 b9 2016 for it?
@DownShiftThrottle5 жыл бұрын
Definitely without a question. This is a far more advanced car. The interior is now very much in the 'Audi' League. Drive and engines have always been better than Audi's anyway....
@shotta2874 жыл бұрын
DownShift Throttle disagree, A4 B9 has a better interior and better materials although BMW has closed the gap

Yes mate. I'd also go for the MSport Plus pack too to it looks nicer too. You also get the HUD, 19" wheels, Msport brakes and the obligatory Adaptive Suspension!!

@DownShiftThrottle Жыл бұрын
Hmm yea, the standard ride height is a bit tall, the must have options are a bit expensive, the sun glares onto the drivers display and you can't see the Speedo, the rear visibility is a bit poor, and there's nowhere to put my pound coins like there was in the old E36......might be able to find a few more.....

Why complain about the door handles when you optioned it with the butt ugly black M panels on the side?
@DownShiftThrottle5 жыл бұрын
Because I like the side decals and it's my car so I'll option it as I like. The door handles are unnecessarily large....maybe the US customers have big hands and market research suggested bigger door handles....

I live in Los Angeles. I have a 2020 G20 330i. I've had it for two months. Before that I had two E90s, and two F30s. I loved those. My G 20, is easily my least favorite BMW. It's not even a 3-series. It's a 5-series light. Make no mistake. It feels big, it's fussy and un-configurable Instrument display is a mess. My god, I hate it. The switchgear, is completely cheap feeling shit. The steering is way too light, even in sports mode, and the car irritates me no end. From the start/stop button being positioned in the center console, to the backwards facing rev counter, to the shitty, and I do mean shitty sound system, At least you have the Harmon-Kardon system. (my 2018 F30 did too) My car is inferior to my 2018 330i in so many ways. I would never recommend this car to anyone. I had a loaner 2021 M340i for a couple of days, and that was more exciting to drive, but it still has the garbage Instrument display, and cheap feeling buttons. I don't mind the looks of the car, and it has a new steering wheel which is ok, the seats are comfortable, and the ride is smoother and more refined. It's too refined. As I said, It feels like a BMW 5- series. It lacks that BMW 3-series X-factor. I don't like the car, and I'm looking to get out of the lease within six months.
