BMW iX1 getting a much needed refresh.
I must admit I’m not a fan of some, modern car aesthetics.
This like many BMW’s, open the door, the radio comes on??? Why???
Who thought this was a necessity??
As a valeter, touchscreens are just a complete nightmare.
Tesla lead the way, have a setting for complete screen shutdown until you actually want to reactivate it!
This iX1 loves locking all the doors, it actually locked the keys inside the car today! Luckily I have remote access via my phone so was able to open it back up.
I had the boot open, closed it, then realised I’d left my glass cleaner inside, went to re-open it and it was locked, I had to go to the drivers door and unlock all the doors. Frustrating.
But if you want to close the sun shade for the pano roof you have to power the whole car up?
At least you can have some cold air blowing on you when it’s 28°c outside without an engine running. 🤣🧼
