2022 M240xi - NO WIRELESS PHONE CHARGING

theosword · 11-21-2021, 03:53 PM

Love the color. Sick car bro!

You guys better check your builds and talk to your CA consistently. Options like power seats and the idrive touch screens are going to start being pulled and you will sign wavers stating you will not be able to add this feature in the future. Options like satellite radio and wireless charging are NO LONGER AN OPTION on 90% of models. I will need more info on this pad here though. That sign means you have wireless key option at least, but that option is no longer available. I wonder if they just reused the rubber pad with nothing under or if there is wiring for a future pad. I heard they pulled the wiring from the wiring harness to the battery so future retrofit is impossible but idk why they would use that symbol.

This has all been long discussed in previous threads.

Also I watch your YouTube video showing your new m240. Why is the drivers side on the right, not on the left like it is in Canada and in US?

I did order the thundernight but since i have still not received an allocation for that build i decided to take a HEA spec and order the thundernight for my next DYB next year. Did not want to wait 5 months just for the Purple.

The tiktok video i posted was with the selfie camera to it was just backwards. The car is LHD.

Man, I am a satellite radio junkie. I don't know where I would be without my SiriusXM. As I'm not in the market for a new 2 series (yet), I guess I have nothing to worry about.

I personally did not select it for my build because wireless charging doesn't work if you have a popsocket on your phone, and I find wireless charging to be pretty ineffective anyway. Lightening USB always charges way more effeciently.

I'm sorry to hear you didn't get it if you really wanted it OP, when you custom order a car to your exact specs it's pretty disappointing to not get exactly what you ordered/expected, even if it's something most people find to be trivial.

This right here. It doesn't work with a pop socket so its not that convenient honestly. These are cadillac gripes at this point. I was going to order an older M2 with half of the stuff this car has now. The M2 comp had no HUD as well as many other features. Is a it a bummer, yea a little but compared to other things its minimal. I was pumped to pickup my car last week so personally I would trade these glory features for a manual 6MT. The parking assist is cool but I will never use it really.

I live in Canada. Why would i lie about having a LHD car? I don't think BMW shipped over any RHD 2022 M240i's to Canada

I think you're very confused. Most front-facing cameras have an option to translate the image left-to-right across the vertical axis. Everything appears flipped. The setting is called "Mirror front camera" in the iPhone camera settings.

Illuminated M Trim pics - 2022 M240i xDrive

yanks1 · 11-26-2021, 08:56 AM

looks nice, glad i ordered the Illuminated M trim

Em240eye · 11-26-2021, 04:30 PM

Every time I see this there are a few pixels the wrong colour.
Is this a camera affect, lazy programming or a hardware issue?
I’ve ordered it but am starting to think it looks like an unfinished project that’s not ready for customer cars.

I’m not OCD but it can’t be right can it?

Thats exactly how it looks. Pixels missing and a few over lapping colors. It's the plastic like that not the leds below it

The regular ambient lighting looks much better IMO.

Agreed but after 4 “real” M cars I just couldn’t resist ticking this box, oh the irony

WXdrivefun · 11-28-2021, 10:05 PM

Wireless charging like others said is slow, with USB3/Iphone cable charges much faster. When you use google Andriod auto/AppleCarplay for and GPS and other apps on phone integrated to Idrive it drains battery more so plug in is always faster.

Have it on my vehicle, not really a miss anyways.

It stands for 'Handler-Erst-Ausstattung', so basically first cars to be produced and aimed to be used as Dealer Demos.

Translated from German:

First handler equipment
