Thanks, is this really from BMW or are you just goofing on us? |
No this is for real not sure if other BMW owners in Australia got the same email as me yet but I had my other BMW in for a warranty claim ( EGR valve faulty) last week and I got a routine questionaire to fill in re the service and any other gripes I had.
My main gripe is local regulations have BMW certified Apps disabled when the car is motion eg TuneIn radio Life360 etc however if you have CarPlay they work! very much a case of double standards.
I also told them like many others on this forum that it is absolutely appalling a luxury car brand has the audacity to charge extra when cars costing under 20k here have it standard. Also had a dig at them saying neither of their main competitors (MB & Audi) charge extra for it why should you?
BTW my X5 has iDrive 5 from the factory which I then updated to iDrive 6 using ESys software
