I have had no such issues with other cars. While I dearly love my 240i, this is one of the few things I hate. |

Actually, the control options for the backup camera are a bit obscure. With the ignition on and the transmission in reverse (and thus the camera image visible), pushing the controller to the left brings up three or four icons. One is for brightness, one is for contrast, one toggles the parking aid line display, and the fourth (if you have coded it) toggles between normal view and zoom/hitch view - useful if you need to see if there is something on the ground right behind you.

That indeed might be of some help, Nyorky. Can you please direct me where you found that information as I could not locate any specific reference in the BMW Owners Manual...Many thanks

So much for promise of easy operation iDrive makes for marketing purposes. Well, this may suffice for my weekend entertainment. Thanks for sharing what you could.

Search "Rearview Camera" in the manual. It just says "With the rearview camera switched on, move the controller to the left..." This works for brightness, contrast, parking aid lines as described above, also for zoom/hitch if that has been coded, and obstacle display if you have PDC. If you have Bimmercode or esys, you can fine tune the downward angle of the passenger's mirror.

I don't know if anyone had mentioned this already but apart from this car not having oil gauge the only other thing that I dislike is when I am driving highway speed (90KPH/55MPH) and turn on my windshield washer, the water escapes all over the driver side windows. It leaves the driver window really dirty.
I've had two F30's before this car and I don't remember ever having this issue with the other 2 cars.

Just got a M235i
gripes so far... Heated seats don't seem super warm. Reverse camera gets water on it when its raining. No oil temp. No good spot for my phone.

Not sure if it is car specific or different in the M240i, but in our M240i my wife has to actually turn the heat down from position 3 after a short while. This is the first car she has done that, including the 2003 VW that had a recall on the seat heaters as they tended to get too hot and set the seats on fire . They are quite a bit hotter than the ones in our Golf R or previous 135i.

I can't even use my heated seats they get so warm. And they do it quickly.
I use a pro clip phone mount, and a stick on magnet mount, works fantastic. Best phone solution I have had in any of my cars.

2 series does not have side sensors, only front and back. So I don't understand why you are expecting the sensors to warn you when you are going to hit the curb on the SIDE of the car.

Just to remind others, an oil temp gauge was added in MY 2018.

The thing I hate is the way the climate control operates.
I expected that the automatic climate control would adjust functions and fan speed to maintain whatever temp I set. In my 2018 M240 Vert, the fan speed seems to need to be adjusted manually regardless of what temp I set. Someone please tell me I'm doing this wrong!
