Hi Denver,, I assume that's a BMW M Perf part that could be installed by dealer? I assume wouldn't be inexpensive but perhaps I'll look into

Yes all of those parts are dealer installed. I do not have any part numbers or pricing so i recommend reaching out to your local dealership. Usually once they have a VIN they can find pricing.

Any idea how good the HK sound system is? The one in the F22 was pretty terrible. Is it worth the upgrade this time around?

I do believe the Haron/Kardon is beter now then in the F22 but i will admit i am not the best judge. Music isnt a big thing for me and my E36 summer car only has like 3 speakers working lol.

HK audio option for G42 added few new speakers and 80-90 more watts from the amp. I doubt anyone has heard it yet, but I sucked it up and ordered 230i with the HK. Do NOT want to regret it

Denver, I'm curious to know if you happened to notice if the new 2 has an "oh shit" handle? my wife really misses having one of these in my f22 when we are driving on windy roads in the mountains and I'm hoping they brought it back in the new 2. thanks!

Looks like it does not:

that's too bad. I'm just wondering why they got rid of something so handy and relatively inexpensive. I'm sure it is a cost cutting measure. such a bummer. even my wife's 2017 audi a3 had these handles.

Handle in the door looks more than adequate.

yeah it's just not the same imho. plus it's nice to have another option to change your hand and arm position once in a while.

I do agree with that!

Nice video Denver!!!! Keep grinding bro!

Thoughts on the new door handles? Kinda awkward no grabbing with your fingers pointing up and back hand down?

yanks1 · 09-25-2021, 11:15 AM

flush handles are great & about time... my late 70s Vette had flush handles

Thanks for the support! I love them. They are heavier then i thought they would be. Not flimsy or anything. remind me of my e36 handles.

It's the sun shinning through, and the camera is picking up the lines of light! It's not a studio but a showroom probably filming whenever he can either early in the morning or late in the day and the sun is lower in the sky this time of year.

Geesh, some people.

It's a pre-production model, so perhaps not included in it.

No as he said. Hardware issue.

People like you like to be critical of others doing their best to provide info on a pre-production model to the community.

Rather than being appreciative of the info, you were being a dick.

And he didn't say it was a hardware issue! He was being polite and saying it could've been b/c of using Gimble and phone. You are the one who said it was "unwatchable" when in fact it wasn't.

Some people!

Appreciate your support! I just upgraded to the iphone 13 pro for the better camera but $10 says people will still shred me for it on my next videos.
