I also have the gps issue on my g80. I searched the forum and realized that this is universal for other Bmw models as well with wireless charging feature. Try and see the difference between when your phone is on wireless charging pad or not.
I have a G82 M4 Competition in Frozen Portimao Blue, and I agree with two of your points: Yes, it is a challenge to maintain it but Dr. Beasley’s products do the trick. Being in the UK I wash mine with rainwater I collect (we have plenty!) and this leaves practically zero streaks, it is almost like distilled water. I also see many people approaching me and ask about the car, and a few trying to race me. I talk to the people and answer their questions, it is good fun and socialising. If I can be bothered I show them a bit of what acceleration the car can do; so far I have not found a faster car that tried to race me. But I plan to drive to Germany in a couple of months, so this may change… I do not have a problem with the exhaust sound, and being in a neighbourhood with an M5 and a Jaguar XK 5l supercharged, I am probably not the loudest. But we all have good fun with the cold starts. I never saw the GPS problem you mention but I use the BMW navigation, mostly because it shows the directions in the HUD and also because it warns me for the speed cameras. I also do not have any issues with the wheels, but this is probably a Competition model thing. Nice video, though, keep up the good work!
Germany: This attention thing is very true. I drove mine for 130miles on the first day and had people gather around it doing selfies. Made 2 stops and people came to me and weanted to talk about the car. I live in germany since 2012. Never experienced it ever...
I've got a '23 with iDrive 8 and, while I like it overall, it is buggy. I wanted to use the built-in Spotify, but had to disable my CarPlay Spotify because they kept clobbering each other. But now I'm dealing with this issue where the system loses Data services. So Spotify just gets stuck at "Loading" and things like traffic updates and weather don't load. I have to restart the system by holding down volume for 30 seconds and hope it recovers.
Subscribed! I have iDrive 7 and have the same issues with apple car play. One thing that has worked for me is opening my nav and closing it on my phone, it often resets the gps. I also get the same attention and it can get annoying at times lol. Just enjoy the car and put your blinders on if need be!
Thank you! Yeah I agree, the only thing that has worked for me is resenting iDrive by holding the button down for 30 second. I appreciate you commenting!
I have a pair of NVM downpipes waiting to be installed. I am thinking of getting the AWE Switchpath exhaust(full exhaust) but swapping the mid pipe for a single. The Valvetronic is also around the same price
Do you feel like ppf on the front is sufficient? I receive mine una few weeks and need to make a decision. I grew up in az so I know you know about rock chips. Any issues with chips along the rockers etc if you only did the front? Would you recommend full ppf? I just think it’s SO expensive but don’t want to make a bad decision.
I did the front end and the high impact spots on the rear. Obviously doing the full car is ideal but as you said, super expensive. What color are you getting?
@@tuxon_speed went with Dravit grey. Would love to go matte but didn’t for your same reasoning. I did the sunroof as well so I’ll prob go black ppf on the roof.
Have u fixed the problem with Apple CarPlay? I spoke with a employee from bmw and he said to check if ur phone is updated to the latest version and, I know this might sound weird, but he said it could also be because you might have emojis on ur contacts, I know it sounds weird, but I took off the emojis from all my contacts, and it fixed it for me
I had one of the first customer G80C delivered in April 21'. Moved from F87C. Loved the F87C, but just never jived with the G80C after 1.5 years of trying. Never got over the aesthetics. Front end just wrong and G80C JUST TOO BIG. Performance-wise, the S58 is a beast, but the G80C just could not hide its weight. Had hopes for the G87 . . . BMW has simply lost its way.

I love people that want to check out the car and chat about it!
Beautiful color, I have a F80 but have been looking into the G80, thanks for the video!

Agreed on video…buy salt away spray it on rinse off will take all salt off before things start to corrode they typically use on boats

With the navigation, try using the button to zoom into your location before setting a address. This might help
I haven’t had any issues (fingers crossed) for the last few weeks. Hopefully it’s solved itself

NOw that you have the M2 and the M3 which one do you prefer over the other and why ( maybe another Video )
Likely going to be selling the G80 but yes! Video coming soon
Attention thing is point on, just ignore them, but i understand it gets annoying: "Dude i did not buy the car to race with you f* off"
I’ve had multiple people reassure me that it’s not just me haha. Glad I wasn’t losing my mind
You don't like that there are too many options to modify the car? That was the end of the video for me...
Thanks for leaving a comment man!

I had the issue happen again just this morning. But that is a very strange solution lol. Let me try!
Make sure your apple play is running the same software
Your exhaust sounds better than what we get in the UK, I guess this would be down to EU noise regulations.
That’s a very good point. Still want just a little bit more.
The one I will get for mine is Remus
Thanks for commenting man! I’ve not heard what the Remus exhaust sounds like yet. Is it the full exhaust?
