Picked up my 2013 335i sedan today. What a ride. Love the car. Too soon to grade it vs. the 2009 335i I turned in. Initially I don't like that I'm stuck with iDrive (that display on the dash is like a small computer monitor sitting on a desktop). The least BMW could have done was make it hidable rather than just sitting there. Or integrate it into the dash. Oh well. Also don't like that when I shut off the car that the stereo/iDrive is live. Gotta hit the start/stop button again to make sure all is off (or lock it, which I won't do in my garage). I'll give it a few days of driving and comment more. Initially, I'd not change my choice of car. Little things I can live with. Hell, I may wind up liking al this new stuff.

In my "old tech" 135i there are a few options like when to lock/unlock the doors, whether the exterior lights stay on after exiting and for how long, etc... I noticed the audio on after engine shut off in the last loaner I had. To shut everything down I had to use the fob to lock the doors. Not a big issue really, just odd. |

I don't like how my wife's Kia shuts the radio off when I hit the start/stop button. If I'm listening to a good song when I pull into my driveway, I want to turn the engine off but not the radio (yet). But I'm forced to turn off everything, then turn the power back on to turn the radio back on! The way your BMW works is just like cars have been for years....there is an "ACC" or accessory position on the ignition just before the off position. That's the way it should be IMO. |

E-mail access on the IDrive
Does anyone have problems accessing e-mails from your phone on the I-Drive? I recently took delivery of a 2013 335i and have an Iphone 4S. Noticed that all my phone contacts, song playlist can be seen on the IDrive but not my e-mails. Help.... please

I wish I wouldn't be forced to buy a "line" just to get an interior color. I'd opt for saddle brown in a heartbeat if it wouldn't cost $$$ more than beige.

Exactly my thought. This feature already works in Mercedes as far as I know.

I'd had the money for sat nav and an auto box.
Maybe next time!
