I installed the Dahler exhaust flap controller for little extra sound as I knew I’m not gonna be changing the exhaust system. It’s just right for me.

I remember seeing reviewers say the G87 stock exhaust was louder than the F87. Maybe it doesn't seem so from the inside since the G87 is better insulated than the F87's were?

Change Engine to Sport Plus for louder exhaust and try it out.

It’s absolutely much quieter inside the G87 as it’s so insulated.
But I also think the exhaust in the F87 varies greatly depending on the engine it has.

The OG M2 might have the best sound of all. Followed by the G87. And then the M2C (which never sounded good no matter what you did to it).

I don't have mine, still at 112 but would have liked ventilated seats.

The digital gauges have been a huge miss for both ID7, ID8, and now ID8.5/9. I just don’t understand BMWs stupid fucking obsession with non traditional clusters. One of my favorite features about my RS5 was being able to put the digital cockpit in minimalistic/track mode with only a horizontal RPM bar, the speed, and the gear.

This thread is turning from "gripes" to "how to make ID8 do what you want." Which makes it one of the most useful threads here. Keep it up!

No issues with the fuel tank size?

All I can say it does what it’s supposed to well.

You are so right. Forgot about that. Annoyingly small.

Oh yes thanks for the reminder. Driving spiritedly it's in the 180 mile range. Driving somewhat normally on highway maybe 225 miles. Could probably do more in full efficient and not driving funly. But that's no fun.

Yeah, it's a limitation. I'm considering taking mine on a 2000 mile road trip this summer... but I'm not sure I want to gas up every 3-4 hours.

Double annoying for me. Hate filling up in NJ. Self service is illegal.

Planning this last road trip was special because of the scarcity of fueling stops.

That said, it did force me to get out and stretch, thus helping with my seat comfort complaints. :P

I have about 3200 miles on mine and I definitely feel your #1. I want my RPM Gauge on my heads up display. Its annoying to have to switch the setting every time you start the car.
My biggest gripe about the equipment is the damn sun visor isn't long enough to cover the entire window when you have it pulled out to the side. I have to angle it back in towards my head to cover the last 1/4 of my door window if the sun is coming at me sideways.

An extremely common problem for coupes, yep.

Only have about 250 miles on my car and while I'm liking it so far, I definitely have a couple gripes of my own. I imagine once I'm able to fully open it up these will melt away.

1. Hate to say it but Throttle House was right. This car was designed to be an automatic. In 3rd/4th and low rpm's, the power isn't what it should be.

2. Really missing having physical short cut keys. Having a 2-3 step process every time I want to toggle between different media modes is annoying.

3. My own personal mistake, didn't need to get the HUD. I find myself turning it off at night.

4. Wish the steering was heaver.

5. Fuel tank size sucks. Of course we can't cry about that and want a lighter car.

EDIT -
As a disclosure due to the reaction of my first point: this car has yet to be pushed or be put in "sports plus" and still way below the break-in period so take it with a grain of salt.

Not even pulling it to extend it?

We can agree to disagree on number 1.

Agree number 2.

For 3 I agree. I completely turned it off now after being initially impressed by it. I have decided I just don't like HUDs.

After driving just me car the the last 5 days and 2000 miles, I got into my CX50 today and was taken aback at how much heavier its steering is lol.

Yep can't complain about fuel too much.

If you scroll to "Reduced" and select it, that is pretty much all that is shown.
