Lol most of these complaints in the last couple of pages especially have been about modern cars in general, not that specific to the 2er. Auto adaptive lights and cruise control.. Really?

[QUOTE=USA-RET;24242007]Keep mine set to shuffle so when I push next, it would give me the next random song (not the next song alphabetically)./QUOTE]
This is a huge peeve of mine. Everything about the infotainment system in my 2er is better than my Honda EXCEPT for this function. The button on the steering wheel on my Honda will go to either the next alphabetical track, the next track on the album or the next random track depending on what mode it's in. I wish BMW could have figured that out!

Some people don't like scroll wheels. They are apparently too scrolly. Beats me, butch!

[QUOTE=kevinf;24250281]Yes, the wheel allows you to scroll; I understand that. What USA-RET and I are complaining about is that no matter what mode of playback you are in, the wheel only goes in alphabetical order. In other words, if you have it set on random playback, it won't go to the next random track but to to the next track alphabetically in the playlist. Likewise if you are playing an album. If you are on track 4, it will scroll to the next track alphabetically on the album, not track 5 (unless track 5 happens to be the next track in alphabetical order). I have to use the center console to select the previous and next buttons in I-drive to select the next random track or the next track on an album.

I haven't actually experienced this, as I only have a car on order, and I can imagine this could be annoying, especially as the entire point of shuffling a playlist is to minimize taking one's eyes off the road in hitting just one button, not searching for the track you want with a scroll wheel.. |

This is one of the very few things I like about Audis - the wiper lever has an "intermittent" position, and a separate interval control. When the auto wipers are enabled, the interval control is a sensitivity adjustment. When not in auto mode, they work the old fashioned way with the interval control directly controlling the fixed interval. Sometimes I want it to be truly automatic and variable, sometimes I want a fixed interval - light snow or heavy mist in particular seems to flummox auto wipers.

In hindsight, given I traded my M235i two years ago this week, the thing I hated about the car was that I just didn't love it. It was so stupidly fast and competent that it was kind of boring. On my Euro Delivery tour it was amazing doing it's thing on the Autobahn and Autostradas. But in the US, the power was just unusable. And as a small coupe, it was utterly impractical as anything but personal entertainment - and it just wasn't that entertaining. So once it became an only car instead of a fourth car for 3/4 of the year, it got traded for a GTI Sport. Which is actually more fun to drive, in that you have to work at it more, and is far more usable.
A GTI with roof rails and a trailer hitch is pretty much the Swiss Army knife of cars. You can take it on a track, you can take four adults out to dinner. Whatever won't fit in it will fit on it or can be towed behind it. It gets 35mpg without hypermiling it. And I only paid $23K for it, 1/2 what my deeply discounted M235i cost. Thank you Dieselgate! That said, if I could have bought a 1-series in the US, I would have. I do miss that silky six and iDrive though. And the color - Estoril Blue is just beautiful. My GTI is boring white, because it lives in the FL sun and they didn't offer any decent colors.

Being nit picky really: 1) I hate the location of the trunk release inside the car. 2) Though I like the clean look of the fan speed adjuster I find difficult to use, especially at night. Wish they maybe embossed it somehow on either the lower side or higher side so you know what you are touching.3) I feel like the xeonon headlights aren't bright enough. I have adjusted the beams to go a little farther down the road but I still think they aren't bright enough in general.

Not necessarily hate but:
- small gas tank - styling... still getting used to it. Wish it was a little wider and lower. - OEM wheels, not as aggressive as I’d like. - low end torque is lacking and I’d have to really put the foot down to get it going. On the other hand, midrange is amazing! I wish my commute had more highway route so that I can really experience the beast :d - A pillar is a bit on the big side, dangerous when turning sometimes. - no HUD option And that’s all... there’s just too much to love about it! |

Just curious...compared to your M240i, which cars do you feel have sufficient low end torque...are you thinking big American V8s, 4-liter turbocharged Porsches, or other motors along those lines?
