[@deanfletcher7273]

How do you select / enable the augmented reality sat nav? Picking up my iX on Saturday! 🙌😍

[@BeamerView]

Congrats on the iX! As soon as you enter the address into the BMW Maps, it should pop up all by itself!

How do I set the qlocktwo as default? I can’t find where to access it

[@BeamerView]

I would check to see if your driver profile is setup, keep in mind if you don't see it when you are trying to add a widget it may not be available for your specific OS system.

[@KeahanTurnbull-qy1zg]

@@BeamerView Thank you. My profile is set up and it is a 2024. Will check

[@JosephBoffa-i9d]

Had new tires and rims installed, how do you reset the tires pressure monitor

[@BeamerView]

You can go into the main menus and go into vehicle status, tire pressure monitor, click on tire settings

[@GOLD_FEVER]

Pay the dealer $$$ just like you fix everything else on beemers.

Nice video, very informative.

[@BeamerView]

Glad it was helpful!

[@crkvend]

Hey man, I really appreciate your content, looking into getting my first BMW and binging your videos as prep work, but you really need to look into your audio levels. Your voice is constantly peaking and distorting, and your videos are somewhat jarring to listen to. Looking into the audio levels would be a great improvement to already great content!

[@BeamerView]

Hey Dan, thank you for the feedback, you're right 100%. I ordered a clip on mic that should help with the distortion and plan on using it in every future video. Thanks again!

[@crkvend]

@@BeamerView Awesome man, really looking forward to future videos!

[@piggyman1585]

Good.show.thankyou🇬🇧

[@BeamerView]

Glad you enjoyed, Reach out if you ever have any questions!

[@davidcarbone4573]

is there a camp mode?

[@BeamerView]

Unfortunately not, they should have something similar to this mode since people have a hard time trying to turn off the rear tail lights.

[@robertchan-x3m]

@@BeamerView do you think turning on the diagnosis mode can keep the car running ?

[@zk9058]

Quick question…..i just took delivery of a 2023 X7 M60i. I’m coming from the previous generation X7. How do i get the driving assist pro plus to turn on. It’s activated in the i drive 8 menu…..but when i am in traffic, and it flashes on the dash as ready to turn on (in green), the button i used to press on my old X7 just turns off the assisted driving. And when i looked in the cars manual, it made it seem as if it happens automatically. Does it? Any ideas?

[@BeamerView]

Hey ZK, Yes, when I was testing it. It did turn on automatically so now you no longer have to hit another button to go into it. Factors come into play of course. Has to be on the highway going below 40 and in a traffic jam. You can tell it’s on when you don’t have to keep your hands on the wheel every few seconds.

[@zk9058]

@@BeamerView yep - seems to kick on automatically. Now if i only i can find the autostart/stop button. The manual says it should be inside idrive under driving settings-> drivetrain and chassis but its not. Oh well….for now i will drive around in sport 😉. Thanks for your help!

[@birreboi]

How could some people (allegedly) not see a 'button' next to the glove box and not think that, gee whiz, maybe this opens it. If someone cannot see that, then they don't deserve such a car and they would seem to have more money than brains. RTFM is always helpful 😉 (look it up if anyone doesn't know that old abbreviation). Oh btw, a brilliant car, in my opinion!

[@bigrahizzle]

2023 X7 has digital key plus also

[@BeamerView]

Correct!!

[@theresalee2610]

What's with the hand motion? Very distracting and difficult to watch...

[@BeamerView]

Helps me prevent hand cramps =)

[@AH-wc6jg]

Don’t you think it would be useful to mention which of these features are standard and which are standard??

[@BeamerView]

Possible, BMW does switch up their features quite a bit but yes I could mention the major ones.

[@667Gurba]

Is it really true that the rear windows can't be opened more than about half way? Is it a safety feature that can be disabled or is it a result of poor design?

[@BeamerView]

Correct. It’s really annoying. I don’t think it can be disabled the reason they must have it is because of the wind noise in the car.

[@667Gurba]

@@BeamerView I see. There are many really obvious design faults with this car where the too large "grill" is the least of them. Too many for a $120.000 premium car. The handles that will most likely be crammed with snow, virtually the useless cupholders, the not so traffic safe panel between front seats, the crystals that can blind the driver, the distance setting for the adaptive cruise control. These are so obvious that it makes me wonder what bad desitions have been made that we can't see. The executive that signed off on this must have been drunk. Too bad because all these small things add up and basically ruin what could have been a great car.

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

@@667Gurba Well try it out, make a testdrive before you decide. I did, nothing really annoying found

[@fikretilbay8795]

$140,000 basic model price, too expensive, don't buy

[@BeamerView]

It’s more along the lines of $97k in terms of basic / starting price. 140k would be pretty loaded

[@Browchay]

I've got one. $100k .. possibly the nicest, most comfortable drive I've ever had. Do I love the front grill, no but no reason not to buy it, its an amazing car.
