I have comfort, massage seats front only. Does that make a difference?

Regardless, I believe the selectable heat levels can be coded to a given temperature -- although I'm not sure about the warm-up period temp. Maybe someone who does coding could verify. |

Have the wheels spun up in a balancer and videoed with a camera on tripod as they take the safety cover off. BMW did this for me.
Had same issue and all 4 alloys were faulty not from damage but from build, the hub wasn't central to the outer rim and they all hopped. Now BMW didn't change mine free of charge as I had them refurbished prior and they blamed that but if your were not refurbished you can demand a new set and I believe they will provide them. There are known sets of 759i 20 inch alloys according to my contact in BMW that were forged faulty. Look at my post history to see videos of the issue. QUOTE=THEX5BEAST;26165608] Quote:

540i Ownership
I currently have a pre-lci 540i and have owned it for a while. Thankfully it came with CPO since I've ran into issues with it in the span of 6-7 months at the time of making this post (2/5/2024).
Troubles: ~08/17/2023 went into dealership. A month after ownership the car (owned since 7/3/2023) threw a check engine for an evap leak. I thought it had something to do with the fuel tank or not locking the fuel cap. Wasn't the case when the AC slowly started losing its cool and the check engine light turned off on its own. No physical damage found so CPO covered it otherwise service and parts would've been 2000+ since they have to take the dash off. After a week they got it fixed and the HUD was off center (Techs did not place it back correctly). I waited for a while (~close to a month) before putting the car back to the dealership and then got it back with no issues after. 11/11/2023 At this point it would be about more than 2 months of trouble-free issues until I hit up the dealership for a car wash and the PCV Diaphragm goes bad and smokes thru the exhaust. Apparently common issue on gen 1 b58s and extended warranty on that part alone. 12/21/2023 Afterwards I have faced zero issues with it and had its first oil change done at the dealership. Personally, I don't like how BMW stretches the oil changes on cars to 8k mile intervals. 01/29/2024 A week before this post goes up, the car threw a check engine light for the active grill being stuck on open. After hitting up the dealer again they said its the lower radiator flap that went bad. They performed an update and programmed the flaps to work. I was planning on removing it but since it throws a check engine light I will need to figure a work around. I want to hear y'all's thoughts on the service I had to do in the 7 months of owning this car. Anything y'all suggest I should do? I do plan to mod this car but with what I had to do to it so far is making me doubt about keeping this particular 540i as I've seen/heard others having a better experience than mine. Thankfully its nothing serious besides the AC system going out and looking around that seems to be common at 50k miles. My car is currently at 55k miles and i bought it at 48k miles. Its a wonderful car and after they updated my cat to NBT_Evo Y I was able to get Fullscreen CarPlay which feels and looks so much nicer and I still love the car apart from the troubles. |

Hello, I'm new here and wanted to ask about two curiosities:
I have a 2018 BMW M550 and had been watching videos on all the available gestures and have also gone through the manual and noticed that it doesn't have the previous/next track gestures or the ability to assign a secondary gesture. Is there a particular reason why my car is limited in the gestures available? And is this something that can be adjusted through a software update? Everything I've read on articles or seen in training videos include these other gestures so I'm a bit confused since I have most of them. Second, being that this is my first BMW, I'm still getting used to how the car operates specifically regarding exiting the vehicle where I'm accustomed to the car completely disabling itself once the stop/start button has been turned off compared to now where the car turns off once I open the door (using the iDrive option). I guess my question is if it's normal for the interior trim lighting to stay on for what seems to be another minute or more after exiting the car? I'm mainly wanting to ensure this won't cause my battery to drain since I had gone through the manual regarding this and couldn't find anything providing specific clarity to this question. |

You aren’t missing much as gestures are a mixed bag feature that few people love. As for the second question, locking the car is the best way to get it to shutdown. Otherwise, it will do so when it “times out”. I can’t speak to battery impact as my PHEV deals with that reality differently than an ICE car (my 12V battery charge is maintained by my HV battery). |

I've assigned the "peace sign" moving forward to navigating to home, which I could obviously change, but it doesn't have a secondary one as previously noted. |

And you're right in reference to simply locking the car, it's just not something I'm accustomed to doing when I park in my garage rather than parking anywhere else so it's something I've wanted to verify so I don't encounter trying to start my car one random day and being met with a dead battery. |
