HVAC is fine, as the buttons are still there and truthfully the auto setting is very good.

Heated seats sucks, and it’s a solvable issue by just adding the button in as software. When you have it on ‘very high’ it actually puts an icon there! But it disappears. I also dislike how it remembers the heated seat setting rather than turning off like older cars. They also don’t seem to get as hot? G82 with ID7 and buckets gets hotter than G87 with ID8 and buckets.

In general ID8 makes more sense to me than ID7, the gauges are already a screen, stop making them try and look traditional in a recess and just go all the way to a screen that can show more information. I prefer the UI also, and the larger screen feels like it makes a bit more sense. Going back to ID7 surprisingly feels like a step back, even though fundamentally they do the same things.

And I'm perfectly happy with all the "fake" badges that BMW installed on my car.

BMW doesn't install ///M grille slats yet. I foresee them being an option in the future, because many people need them. But not yet. You paid money to install those in your car. Which is fine. Not sure why you are not owning up to liking them... You do you man. Be proud of your things. When you're proud of what you have and who you are, your self-esteem gets higher. And when you have higher self-esteem, you don't feel the need to go on other people's car forums to knock on their vehicles.

Enjoy your nice car in good health. It is a nice car. No need to put others down.

In case you haven’t seen it this has already existed as I’ve seen one on a vehicle from factory already.

Can we please leave the petty convos, it literally ate half of the last page before I got to this one, thanks.

Give his real feelings when each of these new models = $$ after initial R&D is completed? I love the mental gymnastics they come up with. If anyone can find me one evolve video where they are critical of any of the new g series platform cars or any new Bmw for they matter, I’d love to see it.

These YouTube shops are all the same. Shill spacers Sunday. Upload lowering springs on stock shocks content Monday.

I agree with that gender statement...this got me thinking about people who use "he" or "she" when talking about their car (versus "it")...I always thought it was silly, but in this case, the F87 is clearly feminine and the G87 masculine, so maybe it applies

...in the end, really glad I own the F87 (CS) and will for sure not switch a G87...I'd rather ride a woman
