-Offer software updates to existing owners from this dark period in BMW history  |
Obviously they're not going to put chassis designators in the menu though
OBSOLETE (see next post):
Once upon a time -- I believe it was the pre-LCI E60 M5, and probably some others -- all of the variables that were adjusted as part of modes like eco, comfort, sport, sport+ were individually adjustable through iDrive. Consumers hated it. I can understand why. There are a lot of variables there. However, I think steering feedback is one component that really needs its own adjustment, and it had better be persistent. Hopefully BMW learned their lesson with auto-start-stop.
What we need is an iDrive menu to adjust the steering program as part of the vehicle dynamics... and that knob needs to go to 11.
