New one..
Ok, only had the car since Saturday, so maybe something I will get used to.. but....
The top of my foot (toe area) seems to be dragging or getting caught on something when I clutch in. My shoe size is 11.5 so I am surprised that the lower dash is THAT low that my foot is hitting? Obviously, only for 6-speed folks, but anyone else have this issue? oh and not sure I like Carplay and rev matching sucks

You can stop the Map from moving into position mode via the touch sensitive pad by removing "map" as an option in idrive settings. That should stop the jacket/hand issue. |

Couple of niggles like the brake backing plate noise but the one thing that I find very annoying is the size of the sunvisors. These things are virtually useless. We are limited in what we can tint on a windscreen so I need to look a bit deeper.
Otherwise loving it more after the first service. |

Does anyone else have trouble seeing the odometer row of data on the dash due to the hump on the steering column? I'm not short (about 6'2") and I have the steering wheel adjusted lower than I'm used to and still have to sit up perfectly straight and lean in to see that display. Not a big deal in the big picture, but it did surprise me a bit. I'd love to have that data anchored to the top rather than the bottom.
With all of the car data available via OBCs of various sorts, I'm surprised manufacturers haven't introduced fully customizable dashes with data you want where (and when) you want it. give me a decent developer, the Torque app and a dashboard-shaped web front end, and the world would beat a path to my door.... |

Regarding iPhone playback, I've had this issue for years with my previous bimmer. My solution was to create a 5m long silent track, name it so it's at the top of your tracks list. So when it does play you hear nothing until you think, hey, why's it so quiet?

When attempting to raise the sun visor, it inevitably pops out of the clip and pivots towards my face.
I'm not using CarPlay. I'll be listening to Music Collection. When I restart the car, it loads Pandora.

I wonder why it loads automatically over, say, Spotify.

I think i'm well on my way, especially since reading (and using) traction mode for city driving for extra pop! Although i do still let cars into traffic and stop for old ladies crossing the road, so not there yet!

[QUOTE=lpak;21015564]there are some annoyances
I'm in Melbourne and I found Sat Nav significantly better than my 2015 Audi S3 - but not up with Google Maps navigation in terms of live traffic just yet. Voice recognition (for me anyway) isn strets ahead of the Audi. Touch pad is not as good as the Audi MMI but the voice control makes it largely redundant. Just say TWO THREE FLINDERS ST MELBOURNE and it takes you to 23 Flinder st. For me it works fine. Anyway, still getting used to it, will update as i discover new stuff. |

Adding one to the list...
Carplay sucks. As my dealer told me, most people turn it off after a week. I lasted like 4 days. Want my $300 back Foot no longer sticking when clutching in, as noted, must be something you adjust to (or learn after driving an auto). I'm confused about the dash comments - where you can't see the odometer. I can't seem to get my seat into a position where this happens. Arms at 10 and 2 with a bend at the elbows right?
