As a long term BMW owner, it’d be awesome to highlight little things no one else does: “what does it take to replace a headlight bulb” and “can you get to the oil filter without a PHD?” I know these are new cars, but between my old 3 series and current 5 series these issues have changed a lot, it’d be a big factor in if I bought an M2 next, or a different model. I keep them past their warrantee and having to take a bumper off to replace a headlight bulb is infuriating, lol. Not sure how many people would care or agree with me, though, admittedly.

@epbrown01 4 ай бұрын

One of my craziest ownership experiences: I had a headlight bulb go out under warranty and the service dept said it would take a couple of days to schedule me in. Thinking that was silly, I went to the parts dept, bought the bulb, and went home figuring I’d swap it in a few minutes like my old E46. Nope. I took too long calling back, so it was 3 days before I got an appointment to replace the bulb…

Now, that is disturbing. I am getting the X7 in a month's time and you guys have me concerned. I still own the e90 and I do everything myself with no issues whatsoever.

@edmanne 4 ай бұрын

@@mo_0912 my current 535i XDrive has a bulb out. You gotta take the wheel well apart, undo a ton of screws and clips, remove the front bumper, take out weather stripping under the hood, more screws and clips, remove headlight assembly altogether, open headlight assembly, then, and only then, do you have access to the damn headlight bulbs. Haha. I love my BMWs in every other aspect of their ownership, so I’d like to trade up to an M240 or M850, as I need AWD in deep snow country, but it’s become rather important to me that I nod need to take the front end apart to replace a damn lightbulb. Haha.

M2 Comp owner here. I just want to say that the whole “90% of owners paid extra to get the DCT over the manual” point is true but honestly I think many of us did so just because of how terrible the BMW manual transmission really is. Buying a BMW was never even a thought for me until I watched a Chris Harris review on it in 2019 and saw that they shoehorned the m3/4 engine into the car and gave it some massive brakes. I was considering getting a Mustang GT350 or a Camaro ZL1 1LE at the time. I specifically went and looked at the M2C because it was one of the few “cool” cars that were out at the time with a manual transmission. I was extremely excited to test drive it and I just knew that I want to get it over any other car. I test drove a 2020 M2 comp with the 6-speed and it was absolutely garbage to the point that it put me off buying the car entirely. Everything about it felt like an afterthought. Clutch and shifter felt like they belonged in a Mitsubishi economy car. Even the driving experience wasn’t enjoyable as a whole as it made the car feel really sluggish and it definitely didn’t make it feel like you were in something “special”. I’ve driven plenty of different manual transmissions in all sorts of muscle cars, Vipers, GT3’s, Audi’s, Civics, trucks, jeeps, etc… and they all provide a much more engaging and enjoyable shifting experience and contribute significantly to that “special” feeling of the car. A few weeks go by and the BMW salesman keeps begging me to come in and try out a car with the DCT. So I do. Within 10 seconds of driving the car and seeing how the DCT shifts I was sold. It felt so special and exotic and definitely contributed to the overall positive experience of the car instead of taking away from it like the manual did. I say all of that to say this. I don’t think that people don’t WANT to order the manual, it’s that they know the BMW manual isn’t that great. It’s not like BMW can’t make a great transmission, it’s that they surely have given up and aren’t trying. Look at Porsche and feel the manual in that GT3. Absolutely amazing. If they put a shifter 10% as good as that in an M2 I think 50% of new M2’s would be ordered with a manual. Just my 2 cents.

Me too! Something about rwd and auto doesn’t gel for me in these cars. Kick-down can be SO abrupt in these, so if you want quick boost of power during normal driving, it overwhelms the rear tyres and feels clumsy. Yes I could pull a paddle, but in real life the car can decide to downshift on modest throttle openings when plodding / commuting etc. Manual means always being in control of metering out the power precisely 🤓 I’m loving the auto in the G42 M240i X-Drive though, and have a more suitable car for engaging manbox action 😊

I agree. Black weeks just disappear in the arches! We have a 911T and went for the Carrera classic wheel, to get away from the dull standard ones. It lifts the overall look and the wheels look way bigger. It pulls your eyeliner down and makes the car look more squat 👀 Just a thought….. On my G24 240i, I’ve kept the standard wheels for winter tyre use, and shopped for some I like better from Motech. Yours are a mighty complicated wheel to deal with, so a colour change to a high standard might cost a good % towards nice new silver wheels 😮
