Part of the family now
Picked up my car today that I ordered a few months ago. 2020 HS, DCT, blue stitching, exec, no moon roof. My first BMW!
Man photos and videos do not do this car any justice in person. I ordered it without seeing one or test driving first. So was pretty blown away when I saw it. Sounds great. First time driving off, I took my foot off the brake and wondered why it didn't move lol. I'm used to cars that start rolling when you idle. Thought that was interesting. Stereo doesn't shut off when you turn it off and get out? Until locking it. I imagine there is a setting for that. Gotta learn the BMW quirks. Went with a purchase instead of lease. Did add on the extended warranty to 7 years and maintenance. Figured that would be smart, but maybe not. When should I expect to have to do the brakes with moderate driving? Hope I made the right decision adding this, don't know what to expect with a BMW. No decent pics yet, apologies. |

Congrats! Press the start stop button once to turn off the engine. Press again to turn off the electronics. The dct takes a little getting used to especially when parking.

Yeah, you're going to love that feature at traffic lights. You can just let go of the brake and you'll be stationary.
Remember put in N, parking brake then big red button twice to get the car in park! Also, the brakes take getting used to. They bite really hard. Break her in proper and remember, she's meant to be DRIVEN. |

Thanks friends. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos before committing to the M2C. The thing that stood out to me the most was how giddy with excitement everyone driving it was. Now I know why.

And I'll add for the DCT, D or N allows park to engage but if you use paddles and it stays in manual mode (showing 1,2,etc), be sure to tap the shifter to the right, back into D1 mode when shutting off.

The quirks and features....

No need to put it into D mode after being in Sequential. If the engine is shutdown with DCT in either S, D or R, it will it directly go to P. I'm on my third BMW with a DCT transmission, it has been this way since the e92 M3 in 2008.
