told us to call BMW Group, which we did, but they told us that has to be fixed in the dealership
it's like egg and chicken
Mine did that not too long ago. Have you tried going through idrive and check the Phone connections menu? There is a toggle at the device level between using iDrive vs Apple CarPlay. Too bad it won't let you do iDrive Maps + CarPlay for media. It's one or the other..

M3 too? I have an f80 and it’s very responsive. The lag is there, but not bad at all.

Yeah across the board. From a dead start it's not bad, but I could purposely induce lag by being in 3rd gear doing 100-110 around 4000 rpm and then punching it. Big time lag. I guess I'm just spoiled by a super responsive NA motor.

The current X3 with Wireless CarPlay allows you to do that. You can use iDrive Map while streaming media from CarPlay.

Not worth it. Honestly if you want to just drive your car you can hit up Cayuga during the week for $100 after 5pm. It’s a safe track.

Question is:
Does insurance cover you if you crash at the track?

well the point is I am able to drive all those M cars to test it out on the track. $100 Cayuga I believe is bring your own car.

The other M power tour is the dealership ones but I can't find much more info on it...either the page is corrupted or is already over.

Spent some time test driving and negotiating ‘18 M2 in Long Beach Blue with DCT as the only option.

48 month lease 2.15% with 20K a year = $787 Tax in.

Total due on delivery = $5100

Thoughts? About 7% total?
