Re: Tyre Recommendations

Mine came with Continentals and wear seems pretty poor and lateral grip in the wet is not great on typical greasy UK roads when temperatures dip which in UK is fairly often 🙃. If I was faced with a choice to replace all of mine I would look to All season tyres just for the reassuring grip these tend...

Re: The Best place/way to charge

The BMW charging app will show what chargers are nearby and if you select one it should tell you the cost including any connection fees. Many of the bigger companies have subscriptions you can sign up for which if used enough can work out for you but only if you use it regularily. You can sub to Ion...

Re: Ongoing Braking system recall existing owners experience

Software update arrived just before Christmas. Allows addition cards and stuff which I guess is useful to some owners. It mentions monitoring brake system with enhanced warning or words to that effect.

Re: Ongoing Braking system recall existing owners experience

Thanks for the update , I'll check mine soon. I would prefer the part that's not good enough was replaced but seems BMW is doing what is enough to satisfy the UK regulations I suppose.

Re: Ongoing Braking system recall existing owners experience

I got a letter today. It says the latest software update as described by FSKi57will be before end of the year but doesn’t say what the version is. It refers to a version 3 installed previously that wil detect and warn us but newer one will be more obvious on screen and detect quicker. Does anyone kn...

Re: Activate WI-FI notification

Assuming you bought from a BMW dealer, call them and ask to meet up with the product genius team.

Re: Ongoing Braking system recall existing owners experience

Odd process for recall if BMW website says no but BMW dealer says yes. As for depreciation it’s all EVs nowadays due to factors which are way off topic. I have been told if I get a warning light then cars affected and call BMW assist meantime and dealer. Not great but just have to believe the proces...

Ongoing Braking system recall existing owners experience

How many current owners have received a recall letter. I ask this as I expected that if affected I would receive a letter or possibly a notification via the app. Having received nothing I called BMW CS to check for peace of mind and was told there was recall on my vehicle! and to contact my dealer t...
