My 3GT finished production the week before last and finally made it onto a ship this week. I haven't heard anything from my CA or anyone else that there is any problem with 3GTs. Nothing in the press either. Sounds like a shady dealer. Bummer that you now have to go so far out of your way. I guess we are lucky there are A TON of BMW dealerships in the LA metro area (20 within a 50 mile radius!) What part of the US do you live in where the next BMW dealership is "hours away?" (Your location just says "US.") |

I am pretty sure the dealership is lying. I don't why, but I will find what I want. I just don't want anything to do with them. |

My buddy just bought a 3 GT and loves it but he's having trouble sending directions from Google into the navigation system and they haven't been able to fix it. They may have to open a PUMA case. I couldn't imagine they would stop selling cars for something like that but it's possible if all the navigation units are defective.

Mine has just finished assembly and is on the boat right now headed to u.s. Just finished production earlier this week. Hey Globe when is the boat slated to hit shores. We are both probably on same ship as our GTs both just finished production. I was going to call bmwusa today but never got around to it. My track my build says en route to us. Just got my vmr 19's powder coated in mirror black and ready to hit the car as soon as it lands. Cannot wait!

I'm sorry to hear that you were denied the chance to order, or even test drive, a 3 GT. I'm also sorry that some folk appear to have been experiencing problems with the iDrive etc.
But . . . just to let you all know, my 328i GT Luxury is 6 months old today and, (I'm crossing my fingers now), I haven't had a single issue with it and just loving the car. This is my 6th new BMW and all the previous cars have been 6 cylinder engines, so I was a little apprehensive about the smoothness and response of the 4 cylinder engine. Absolutely no worries whatsoever about the power, smoothness and acceleration. I just hope everyone gets their niggling problems sorted and that the OP gets to order his dream car. Good luck from NE Scotland.

Google Send 2 Car still works in the classic google maps (at least here in the US). Just used it yesterday and today. Google said they will be adding it back to the new version but in the meantime you can opt to use the classic (older) version of Google Maps and still use the feature.
Also... there's an app for iphones & droids called Send To Car that will allow you to search using your iphone's map and send to various cars (bmw included). Works great for when not in front of the PC. Quote:

Thanks you so much for that. I was wondering if there was such an APP.

You're welcome. I too was looking/hoping for such an app over the last 3 years and just found out about it 2 weeks ago. You can use siri to do voice search and then send the directions to the bmw so faster than the bmw app which does the same but w/ extra steps and w/o iphones maps or voice features.

I have a July build MY14 F30 with the new NBT/Touch controller iDrive. No rebooting ever and thats with the original first rev software. I did have the car upgraded in December with the November production update. Still no rebooting. Other niggly issues, but no rebooting.

How does one find out that there's an new/updated iDrive version that dealer should upgrade to?
I've never had the dealer update any of my iDrive software in the past so I imagine it's up to customer to know and request it? Thanks! |

very good question, I have the f34 with Professional and was told the updates happen over the air... for some reason I dont think that is possible...
In any case, all I found for now are software updates available here - you will need the last digits of your VIN. www.bmw.com/update |

For me, I went to bmw.co.uk - then in the toolbar OWNERS>BMW ConnectedDrive services > APPLICATION FOR BMW CONNECTED DRIVE SERVICES Go through the form and you will receive 2 SMS with a user name and password. Note that it took like 2 days for those SMS to arrive. With the User name and passwords, I then went to www.bmw-connecteddrive.co.uk Then go to SETTINGS / SECURITY SETTINGS / ACTIVATE REMOTE SERVICES and tick your car and SAVE. Next, go to the car - in the menus you should be able to find where to input the username/password. Next is to install the iPhone app which is called "BMW remote" - here I suggest you delete the app and reinstall it if you already had it. Open the app, login with the username/password and the app will ask you to choose a 4 digit "pin" - you will now be able to use this app to locate the car, turn light on, or use the "online search" to send an address to the car. I know this thread went way of of subject but hope this is useful info for somebody out there. |
