Looks like there are quite a few people having issues, some similar and others different to mine. Great place to comment. Let's see if BMW can address some problems....

Never buy a first year production cycle car. Especially BMW

Well I'm happy that its only those issues you have encountered so far. Some people with other brands experiencing some more serious stuff. Nice vid

I'm from a Electronic manufacturing background and I would always advise that you stay away from new technology for 12 months until all the gremlins are ironed out.. Most manufacturers don't have the appropiate Quality control checks in place to address these reliability issues.

Seems like Bmw keeps these kind of problems with electronic devices since the 90's. That's a shame, especially for the prices that these cars costs.

0:28 You know you are british when you say ‘thank you’ to a virtual assistant 😂

Wait at least the first two years of the generation before you buy

I am coming up to 26k on my 2019 330ix, and I have have not a single issue with this car. The build quality is as good as on my fathers 1970s and 1980s Merecedes E classes. My prior F30 was rock solid as well.

This is the reason I always hold out until the lci models are released 3 yrs into production by which time the gremlins have been ironed out.

I think 2021 is a good way to buy a brand new G20 3-Serie. Btw thanks for addressing the infos.

I’ve been driving my f30 for 4 years now and have been astounded at the way the tyre pressures hold up. Same wheels as yours

A good honest and fair review. The issue I have is the number of visits to the dealership to resolve these type of issues with my G20.

Cheers for the video :) I got my G20 back in Sept and it’s now done about 2.5k miles. I experienced the folding mirror issue for the first time a few days ago. It did sort itself out after I opened and closed the car a few times. The day after the mirror issue the HUD also developed an issue where it wasn’t displaying the driver assistance info (current speed and speed limit indicator) that also sorted itself out after switching the car off, locking it, and then returning to it after a couple of hours later. Seems like there are a few gremlins in the electronics that BMW needs to address. The only other issue I’ve experienced (from day 1) is an annoying creaking sound that comes from the top of the cockpit/HUD area. Aside from those issues - it’s an amazing car, I really love it!

I have my G20 since early October and almost 7000km and have/had 0 of these problems 👌🏼

I don't like the grill opening/closing feature. Much rather they just stay open like traditional BMW's, that's just another thing that can go wrong in the future.

You’ve had a lot of problems I’m a bit concerned to to buy one !! Very gd clear videos

Great video, and great assessment. As with all software, bugs can only be tested and fixed in controlled settings, so things will undoubtedly go wrong with electronics in the real world. Also, keep in mind that in order to keep cars actually affordable, the chips and boards they are usually using for these (and I assume the servo motors, as well) are typically an older technology that is quite cheap. Although $50k USD is a lot of money to spend on a car, you are basically buying a few Macs, plus a car, which sounds about right (Mac pro today starts at $6,000 USD base). These problems will always exist with cars, especially if they use new boards or chipsets in a model, no matter the brand or model. If one has fewer problems, it is likely an electronic set up that has existed for a number of years and so they have had time to work out the bugs. If a Samsung phone can light itself on fire, especially after all of the rigorous testing they do for that one product, then it's understandable a car's tertiary features will have some issues.

I bought my in august 2019 ....first 3000 miles no issues ... after that I had problem with folding mirror on driver side and control panel ... bmw sorted for me ...replaced new mirror and recoded ... now 7000 miles no issues so far

Thanks mate for the video, you really help me a lot to find out my cars problems!

FYI those suspension chocks you were talking about are to stop cars bouncing up and down when they're on car transporters as they might hit other cars or the transporter itself depending on where they're positioned on the lorry.

Thanks for this video, very informative and insightful.

My wing mirrors stopped working(folding in)and i could not work any buttons on driver's side door instrument as in windows etc.bmw technician said common fault there is a short in the wing mirror which wipes out all the controls,had the wing mirror replaced sorted.also said they had a few cars that the ebrake stopped working so be aware

I keep hearing issues like this. Having owned a Lexus for many years and then switched to BMW earlier this year, I'm hoping I don't experience issues like this. Lexus customer service puts BMW service to shame. Its true what they say, Lexus is number 1.

Do a full in depth review of the idrive 7 and every feature if possible. ( kinda like a guide ) thanks so much 🔥🔥🔥

Amazing I would have expects other issues bur still from the review amazing

That G20 is a beaut. But I need a bigger car I'm waiting to upgrade my f11 but I hate the current 5 series look. I want the new 5 that takes design from the G20. Great video my man!

Very calm and fair, if of been kicking off by now demanding compo for all the messing around

Dude I got to hand it to you you seem very patient putting up with all these issues only after 3,000 miles and so much of your time running around back and forth to the stealership. This is the reason why I said Bye Bye to BMW’s, they are just not worth the hassle, time and $$$ lost. The thieves even tried to scam you £500 pounds for a faulty switch panel??? Your joking mate! Tell your friends at the Stealership and BMW HO, this is why I have switched to Lexus and Toyota. Have not been happier since.

Not a very good advertisement for the bmw G23 3 series lol

Very informative video. Just put in a deposit for an M340ix. Hopefully the slightly updated(sort of) 2021 model will get rid of some of the electrical glitches and errors.

I had the passenger side wing mirror issue (G20, bought June 2019). BMW told me it was corrosion (a few months old). It's been fine since it was replaced.

Those electric mirrors - there are hundreds of posts on various forums and various KZfaq videos from owners from different countries all over the world. It's moisture getting into the housing and shorting the wiring / motor, as well as the control unit. In all cases (almost) BMW denies warranty claims. Horrendous. Mine is to arrive CW30, hope this was resolved already somehow.

Thank You for sharing the experiences. I've owned a 99' E46 series for 8 years. Had a ton of electrical issues. BMW was rated poorly in the last JD Power reliability rankings. I'm currently considering a Toyota. BMW's are gorgeous, but the quality is poor, it seems.

Only issue we've had with our G20 320d xDrive 2019 was front brake discs being extremely loud if doing for example a 3-point turn and using the brakes (maximum steering lock only), they got replaced for free and the issue has gone away. Haven't had issues with operating system 7 or the virtual cockpit, or any other issues. 58000+ kilometers driven.

My bmw g20. Build March 2019. 25000km. Problems: - Mirror sensor (shut down the complete left door panel, and several functions ) - car settings were always lost - trunk doesn't open per foot anymore - head up display doesn't show navigation or radio scrolling (right side) - radio cover (front middle one) was vibrating like hell

I always thought the nightmare started with German cars once the warranty was over especially with electronics but the gremlins you are talking about here started nearly from day one? The drive trains are normally well built but cars these days are so much more than just the drivetrain.

My passenger side wing mirror developed loud noise when turning after only two weeks from new. Too much hassle to make a booking with BMW, I sprayed some SuperLube into gaps of the moving parts. After a couple times exercise the mirror has been good for two weeks now.

I had 2016 3-Series, Base model without all the gimmicks and had check engine within two weeks and they kept updating it with computer without actually fixing anything. Then my cluster and display wouldn’t turn on on a cold day. Turned out they were related and had some wires that were burnt from factory. First couple of years were nightmare since I would be going to dealership regularly. After that it was okay until 4th year. Then I swapped it with new Mercedes GLB. I do miss the driving experience of BMW though.

I had a G20 loan car 3 months after they came out. In sports mode and comfort mode. And over a speed bump, the passenger side would make a loud bang. At 15mph....

Very nice and very informative video. Thumbs up for you mate!

I just put 2000 km to my g20 and have had no issues so far, best car I've ever owned. (so far) - I guess if you drive like crazy every car would have problems, you just have to take care of your BMW and it will run flawlessly.. Perhaps right hand drive cars are just shitty on the first place..

Best way to turn the seat heater on 😂😜

Lucky i dont have any of the above issues however, ive got one major annoying issue that is the car doesnt recognise the key and it fails to start. Like you said the dealership updated the software and it didnt really fix the problem. Its is the single most annoying issue i faced since i was stuck in a parking lot for over an hour. If anyone has this issue make sure you grab your key and hold it up below the wiper switch and just press the start button. (There is a little marking of a key on the left hand side of the steering coloum)

I like your channel 😍😍 make more videos about bmw problems 🙏♥️

Great review mate, sorry I'm late to the party. I have the same issue with my front left tyre. Everytime i take it to BM they just fill it with air and send me home lol. really annoying. I'll tell them to check the valves - thanks for that. Also do you ever get any issues with reversing rear sensors not beeping?

Interesting video Ive got a 320 M 2019 Best car I’ve ever had, the learning gearbox is a pain because I drive differently everyday so it can’t “learn “ my style Had to get a reset on it last week but small problems Seriously, try this - “Hey BMW.....eject the passenger....😂 I did it driving down the M62 with my missus in and we both wondered what was going to happen

Man, that's a lot of problems for a new car -- even a BMW.

Mine just overheated after 4,000 miles and I bought it last March. The pulley got loosened and broke the belt. I'm going to trade in this car on my first opportunity.

Make sure you dump the car before the warranty runs out!

Mine has front disc rotor issue, brought back to BMW to check. Hopefully they replaced the disc brake than giving me excuse.

So what‘s the issue that made you open up the hood ? Was it the radiator vent issue ? Thanks for letting me know

Such a shame :(. I haven't had any issues luckily. I have had the car for 6 months now.

Interesting to hear about the tyre pressure issue. I’m experiencing a similar problem with my 118. I’m at the bloody garage every 2 /3 weeks 😤 Never had this with any other cars.

I see the sponsor company of this video packed their van in the background of the video

Interesting video. Being a fellow G20 owner, how have you found the in car ventilation. Despite being on full mine hardly throws out any air. Wondered if anyone else had similar experiences?

I've owned 3 BMWs; a f20 118i, f30 320i and f32 420i. I've never had the Tyre / rear Tyre issue in any of them.

This is why you should lease a bmw. I dont have to fix it, they do!

Do any of you happen to own a G20 320d and have experienced increased oil loss? My car is 1.5 years old and has done 25kkm. For some time now it has started displaying an oil level loss warning every 2 kkm or so. I top up a liter, drive another 2 kkm and have a liter less again. This doesn't look good, and I am afraid that the BMW service will consider this a normal symptom. I had this in my previous VW car, which could burn a liter of oil per 1000 km.

It’s better to buy the LCI version then, but really great video and content.

Blimey... a lot of issues! Let’s hope my X3 M Comp doesn’t have any! 🙁

As an old F30 user, I felt like you were being tortured by your money. I’ve had several problems with the F30 during our 7 year relationship. Starting with the corroded seats and ending with a malfunctioning door lock. I was looking forward to buying the g20 but it seems that nothing has changed on the Bmw side. I’m sorry for your bad experience but it seems that these won’t be your last service visits. The show may start after the warranty ends. I’ve been told to always buy the beta version of a new car which can match to the g20’s lci models. The lci version will probably be produced in 2023. If the virus outbreak ends early I hope we can make solid plans again. Stay safe and healthy all the world citizens...

Mine is in with bmw just now it has a metalic sound coming from it under acceleration not hard acceleration around 1500rpm seems like it's coming from around the centre console a bit like a heat sheild nose when it has came loose. Been in for a few days now they have said they have cured it a bit but now its there when the car is idling and they have opened up a puma case with bmw so will see what they come back with ps mine is an x drive. Anyone else having this issue

Thank you for the video quick question how’s your steering is it stiff heavy or soft in comfort and eco pro mode i just came from 67 and 2021 530e and felt a bug different 320i 2020 steering is heavier and some effort is required when please advise if this is normal tyre pressures all checked no alignment issue wither thanks

Here's a suggestion. Trade it in and get an M140i again 😌😌😌😝😝👍

Since you’ve owned several BMW’s I have a question for you... have you ever had issues with the turbos? Ans how long do you keep your BMW’s? Mileage wise... I really wanted to buy a BMW (used) but when I found out that to replace the turbo is about $5,000 to $6,000 then I decided not to.

Mirror issue is common on E9x 3 series

Dealership: “nah”. Me: “dear BMW head office...”

South African versions are much better. No issues

Scotty kilmer somewhere laughing at you💀😂😂 shoulda got a lexus, bmw really has went down the toilet theres beautiful cars but the quality control sucks at bmw there pretty much just cheaping people out to make most profit

Every single part of a new car is under the full warranty, I have had this type of conning from my BMW dealership they are chancers but I do love the cars. Your is still stunning and always will look awesome.

BMW G20 320xdrive owner here, in the beginning I had the same mirror issue, then the driver control panel on door issue appeared as well. Now I can't close windows, mirrors, etc. One more issue I had is with the head-up display, it won't display the sport displays in sport mode, only when selected always on.

Someone is probably pulling a prank on you with the Tire pressure, especially since it is always the same side. I have never had so many problems with nails in my tires until I switched to BMW, I was jesting with the tire shop that it is almost as if my wheels had magnets in them. I would not put it past some people to deliberately leave debris under my car. Teslas have video taped people vandalizing the car just because it is a luxury car. Anyhow, my first gen 2017 540i had various Gremlins especially in the electronics and sensors. I couldn't even put a sheet of paper on the passenger seat without the car going into limp mode because the "passenger" didn't have their seat belt on. Ultimately, all the issues except for the BC button were repaired free of charge and I got to drive a loaner BMW for a while. FYI the BC button on the Turn signal stalk would only work if you were signaling left or right.

Sorry to hear u have so many problems with u car muhammed, maybe BMW will fix it👍👍👍

Very good video

2 issues I'm having. First is map update for Nav map. Hasn't been updated since Quarter 4 2018! Isn't even enabled in ConnectedDrive even though its a booked service. Most annoying one is Spotify always logging me out. Just randomly logs out mid journey then wants repairing to my account. Frustrating 😤

I have bmw F30 and always losing tire pressure from right rear tire too! so strange

I think I'll re check on this car . I Will avoid the early models.

Quite a few issues which is a shame , didnt like the fact they tried to get out of paying for a control panel. glad all has been resolved and hope all is well from now on. Any plans for Geneva this year?

As to your suspension issue, have you tried keeping it in “comfort” or “sport” mode? Does/did it keep happening?

Never had any tire pressure problems with my BMW. Most probably you have an issue somewhere in your daily commute, maybe some poor road conditions :)

I have my g20 since september 24 2019, adaptive suspension, mpack etc. when the weather got little bit colder -2 left side (at my case drivers side) door electricity broke, couldnt open,close, lock windows, lightning of the buttons also went down, and the same with dead mirrors. Sadly it broke at christmas eve, and after 2 days not working it started working again, ofcourse i went to check at the dealership, and all they said they cant do anything because its working right now... Not feeling happy because i know it will happen again

Had my G20 330d xdrive since September 2019 and have covered 10k already, no issues but I would advise it has lots of flat spots and speed humps bumps draw a terrible flat spot when peaking and applying the power.........nothing........still nothing........traction light flash.......and off we go! Drives me insane, and no I’m not going to quick it’s just the set up of the Xdrive and gearbox, they tend not to communicate very well, let’s hope there is a software update for this!!!

Same issue here with the passenger mirror!

Having problems on my 2021 m340d where drivers mirror stopped ripping when reverse is selected they are saying both mirrors shouldn’t dip when reverse is selected but the car definitely dipped both mirrors when I collected from showroom

Any problem with steering My car steering became hard such that i got a tennis elbow

And the front looks like a 7 series..... it fits to be a 7 series really..... Enjoy your G...

My E92 E60 E30 E34 E36 E39 and E46 all had problems on the same tyre. My e87 is the only one that didn't

What size are your tires? I'm thinking of getting this car in 19 wheels. What do you think or recommend?

I considered the g20...lucky I've watched this video... I will stick with Mercedes

Driving a G20 for about 6 months now 330i M Sport, munich assembly. No issues so far. But the i drive system does turn off momentary for a 1-2 seconds sometimes when i start up the car. Issues occurs maybe once every 100 start ups. Iether then that car is fine. Only issue i have is the suspension is way to stiff, i do not have the adaptive suspension. Im thinking of putting the OEM F30 dampers on a G20. Will it work ?

Sounds like you need to stick software technician in the boot to keep faults at bay with software updates, hope my new 1 series doesn't have issues

I have HK amplifier probkems it cuts of bass and poping sound comes from speaker

E46-E38 era was the last reliable cars bmw built, yes they have its problems but when it’s fixed they will go and go

it is the mysteries of electronics ..... chose the old ones with mechanical arrows ....much better ... :)

My m340i broke down .it wouldn't open eventually I opened it with the app on my phone but still wouldn't start the recovery came and the guy disconnected the battery and connected it again then it started does this mean I have to carry a 10 mm socket in the boot in case this happens again ? The car has only done 1600 miles

I wonder how you feel these 19inch wheels on speed bumps and pot holes compared to standard 18. I believe an adaptive suspension helps but I really think 18" will give me more comfort with adaptive dumpers. Thus, 19" wheels look better. Can you comment on that?

Hello and thanks for the detailliert Video, what did you do with the issue with the left mirror?

Did you say they did a software update and the clunking sound going over speed bumps went away? I’m having that issue and they keep saying they can’t find and issue and I’ve been unable to duplicate it while at the dealership. It’s fairly intermittent, but probably happens maybe 2-3 times per week.

Nice, thank you bro. Would you buy it again? I am struggling do choose be twin the M340i and the C43

I’m having the same issue with the drivers side mirror it does not fold in nor am I able to control it?
