Joining you guys in a few weeks...

I sold my 2006 G35 6MT after 10 awesome years last weekend. Last month I ordered an M235i xDrive and it should be in port on 05/12. I. Can't. Wait.

I've been reading lots of threads on here regarding what you all love and hate about your 2's and I've been inspired to do a few things to mine right away.

A few questions I've had, you all seem to reference different Bluetooth OBDII dongle's. Is there a favorite yet?

Carseats... I need to put one in my car, repurposing my kids old one will work, but it doesn't leave her much leg room. Is there a favorite that is safe and provides decent legroom?

Dinan tuning, I have two BMW dealers near me, the closest isn't a Dinan shop, if I do some Dinan mods does that mean I can only use the other dealership?

Lastly, has anyone gone down the road of installing an Android auto head unit? It doesn't seem like it as I can't find a thread on it but figured I'd ask.

I've tried several, and like the last-generation Carly. I have heard good things about the current one. I'm not a fan of their software, but the dongle works with all the other programs in my experience.

No, but if there's a spitting contest over who covers the repair in the event of a problem, you may find yourself at the other one. You can get the free oil changes at the closer one, non-driveline repairs at the closer one, and then go to the further one for driveline issues.
