Plenty of positives, any negatives?

Still getting it. You really can't avoid the obnoxious fake details on modern cars.

Yeah, like his complaints are valid.

PrematureApex · 04-29-2016, 06:15 PM

I mean, isn't the entire point of this thread supposed to be about expressing any perceived negatives?

Yet, when one posts a negative, people chime in telling them to get out of the forum.

You can't make this shit up. Some of you guys need your heads examined.

Hey Premature- can you comment on the noise of the exhaust coming from the stereo speakers? I have "never" heard of that on this car until now...

I was concerned about this but to be honest I have to seriously struggle to notice it and sometimes I am not even sure if it's real exhaust or not. It absolutely doesn't bother me at all, and I have pretty good ears. Not a single person I have given a ride to has noticed it.

I agree. I can't tell if my car even has it. I think for some people, complaining about it is just the "trendy" thing to do to prove your a real enthusiast.

Set cruise control at 60 in sport with windows open. Then switch to comfort. No difference. Set cruise control at 60 in sport with windows closed. Then switch to comfort. Big difference. You can't hear that?

Hey there. I honestly think this has a lot to do with the wastegate position. Let alone the exhaust flap. I was listening outside the car with the flap disabled and I could still here a difference.

I don't think active sound is that intrusive in this car but it's definitely there.

It's true. As long as the pros outweigh the con.

Collected my car yesterday.

The missing of an adequate oil temp gauge is bad, the digital read out is not what you want in an M car IMO

The car is far more silent than my previous 1M, a little tire noise, but engine wise silence all over, until you push it off course (Sports +)

The clutch is the same clutch as used in all 1 and 2 series, its (too)light, and lacks some feel IMO, far more lighter than my E46 M3 witch had a rather ferm clutch, and needed some time to adjust to.

The gear change however is short and very very smooth, no rubbery feel what so ever, this is by far the best I have ever driven in a BMW

The auto rev matching when going down on gears is somewhat awkward, the is no engine braking left.

Mirrors and dash have been exlusively discussed here, but I do agree with major comments here on Bimmerpost

Steering feels fine and direct, car feels nimble, but not as the 1M, brakes are awesome.

Lol for real. His complaints weren't even that big a deal. I mean there's even a big thread about disabling the Active Sound and IND is selling aftermarket side gills... I appreciate reading about the little things that owners like/dislike after living with the car no matter how trivial they may be. Car mags all kind of end up talking about the same things and I can only read so many of those reviews.

Nope, it switches to S mode. I have to manually tap the lever again to go back to D.

No "Oh, Shit" handle for my chick

Not sure why there's a difference. If I'm in comfort mode and use my paddles, it doesn't go to sport ever.

Possibly not enough raindrops on the sensor. If the rain is very light, I sometimes need to push the stalk down against pressure just for one swipe. Maybe you service advisor can check it.

I don't understand what you mean by "no engine braking left". Can you explain?

Well I can try;

Maybe it is the character of this engine, but normally if you are going down one or more gears than the engine helps to slow down the car, I do call that engine braking ( I do not know if this is correct English) But the M2 does not brake wel on engine IMHO.

I hope I did explain it suffciantly.

Romo · 05-01-2016, 02:32 PM

Some will see my next point as positive, some as negative

This engine feels so lineair compared to the N54 1M, I mean, when is the turbo kicking in?

Is WOT the thing the way to kick your behind? Of course I could no do that due to low milage

I wanted to, but I could resist, but the force was strong
