I seem to recall that the included "Ultimate Service" that came with the car covers brake discs and brake pads. I think this service is provided by BMW at no charge for 4 years or 50,000 miles. Same, same oil changes.

Yes it does but it covers the BMW brake pads not a different brand. The brakes are fine for me, they work well and stop as desired it's just a lot of brake dust like every other BMW I have owned. I'll be changing to Axis brake pads as they have so little brake dust it's easier to keep my wheels clean.

dude, it has nothing to do with florida. I have 335i that never had that problem. Why you even connecting chassis overheat with geographical location? do you have any idea about vehicle structural design?

Why do these threads have to always end up in a pissing match?

So what's the malfunction? my understanding is that you say it does not work at all on your car......

Was the "office" box checked on your settings?

It's damn hot here in Charlotte today and I'm not noticing any of the heat issues OP described with my 228. Sounds like maybe a 235 issue ???

Agree about that stupid little compartment ahead of the cigarette lighter, totally useless.

Worlds worst brake dust producer

Really, no other complaints. Totally love the car

Tested it earlier today, no issues with streaming music over BT dropping. Played about 3 songs straight, so 9-10 minutes?

When turning DSC off, is seems like the engine responsiveness goes back to "comfort" while still retaining the stiffer suspension.

I wish it would keep the "sport" throttle response...

i guess I can if you read it, and it's my thord language, so shut up. I type on iPhone, use some logic if you see a typo. easy. KZ was very long ago, I'm from Russia. and yes, maybe my english is imperfect, but go ahead move to alien country with different language, and make your living there, buy a BM, work 2-3 hours a day like I do. Then and obly then you will have a right to jump on me with criticism.

Yes, saw this confirmed in another thread somewhere. You can't completely disable traction control AND be in sport mode. It's either no traction control+comfort mode or traction control+sport.
