BMW HAS IN MY OPINION DELIVERED CARS WITH A SAFETY RISK DUE TO DISTRACTED DRIVING RISK DUE TO THEIR POOR SOFTWARE. THE METHOD FOR CONNECTING TO AND OPERATING AN IPHONE (AND PERHAPS OTHER PHONES) VIA THE RADIO AND SPEAKERS IS CLUMSY AND DISTRACTING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE SOFTWARE DEMANDS SIX OR SEVEN INTERACTIONS WITH THE PHONE SCREEN AND CAR CONTROL ROTARY SELECTOR AND CAR SCREEN TO ACHIEVE TUNING AN AM STATION. (THERE IS NO AM BAND IN THE RADIO BECAUSE THE BRAKES ON THIS HYBRID WOULD AFFECT THE AM SIGNAL.) IN MY OPINION, BMW HAS NO EXCUSE FOR…

Hello, I took this vehicle in for a service at 100,000 miles. Part of that service was to change the transmission fluid. While the BMW dealership replaced the fluid, they found that the level was higher than it should have been. They voluntarily removed the transmission, and found that the electric drive buffer spring had been making extremely excessive contact with the transmission, so much so that the buffer spring had worn a hole in the transmission casing. Not a single code, or check engine light had illuminated saying there was anythin…
