Financially the B&O sound system was more than the deposit for the car if i chose that option! Overpriced??? I've never heard the sound system, but that would be a dream come true one day...

I've had the opportunity to drive another 4GC Sport model, which had the standard BMW sound system. Utter shitness! Sound was flat, bass shit, mid and high tones sounded muffled. If I had this in my car, the driving experience would be completely ruined. I'm so happy I opted for the M-Sport plus pack. I would recommend this to anyone unless you don't like listening to music.


Yeah you can warm up the engine good with those speeds. I am stuck to just 30mph roads going to work and it's start stop with the engine stopping everytime time I stop. BMW says in the manual, to just start the car and drive instead of idling the car to warm up. Idling doesn't warm up the car quickly. They say instead the car when it's cold, holds the gear changes a bit longer in order to warm up the engine as you drive. So it will keep you in the lower gears and higher rev count before changing up.
I also turn off start stop until the car is up to temp...

If you in 30's in start stop then im surprised its needs an oil change and not a whole new battery....
