It seems that it won’t longer be possible to use Steering Assist AND have ACC disabled.

AP · 12-17-2018, 11:07 AM

That sort of makes sense. I tried it once and it felt very odd to controlling speed with my foot but leaving the steering to the car.
Be surprised if anyone actually does that for real?

The whole iDrive system architecture was replaced by a modular system in this model - HU/USB hub in dash, optional CD player in glovebox (no DVD), no HDD anywhere, receiver in trunk, amplifier is now called "booster" with less power than the current HK amp, and it is analog instead of MOST...

It's just a single file since most of the stuff is the same as G30.

Is the G20 Training document in this forum? Search shows nothing on the G20... thanks.

The curious thing is the optional CD player in the glove box as neither the 2019 or 2020 ordering guides actually included that as an option. Also although it does not call out a HDD there is definitely 40GB of storage "somewhere" but that may be SSD just integrated into the head unit. In regards to the "booster" with the B&W option it is 1400 watts across 10 channels (140 watts per channel) which is some serious power for the tiny cabin of an 8-series.

I've noticed that my HK in my 17 650 sounds better than my BW in 21 850, anyone else experience the same or similar?

darkdoubt · 09-19-2021, 07:19 PM

Hello,
I am looking for advise on my 840xi GC with 20inch low pro tires.
Do you recommend upgrading to a bigger size tire or changing the wheels to 19inch?
Thank you
