First M140i Review

[ronk]

Mrs K s 335 came with a Book and the Info on idrive - e info is ok but you feel like like a prize tit sitting in the car on a cold winters evening!
It wouldn't be quite so bad if the BMW guru did the setting up in the showroom, My 35is was handed over without the connected drive working - all I got was an overview of the controls and if I hadn't had an E89 before it wouldn't have been enough.

Give me the book and access to this forum!

With the Carly app you can code quite a few nice features, which my son has done now as well. If you get creaking near the doors (they all seem to do that), you need to de-grease the rubbers around the doors. They sell the BMW de-greaser bottle which works well and stops all creaks (same for sunroof).

Might try the Carly App pvr so thanks for that I've heard about the creaking rubbers but not noticed it being a problem on the 3 door, fingers crossed.

All the sales lady did with me was pair my phone and that was about it and running off in a panic to find a technician as the sunroof wouldn't close when she was showing me how it worked

He programmed the door mirror folding on lock, LED puddle lights on during reverse, some speedo info changes, gear indicator and some other bits that I can't remember.

I note you have the sunroof - one of the creaks came from that one, so the rubber treatment (regularly !) is required there as well ...

Thanks again, I've got some Gummi Phlege I think its called from when I had the Z4 so will give the rubbers a once over, haven't noticed any creaks from the sunroof as yet though, I wonder if maybe its more suceptible on the 5 door than the 3 due to body flex.
