Make sure he checks the alternator's output and runs a load test on the battery.

Your vehicle's alternator or voltage regulator is my initial concern. Second, I think you should look for another auto shop. A code is left by any check engine or service engine soon light. Until deletion, it will remain stored even though it is no longer active.

Re: Poor Construction Quality

Honestly, I've never been a fan of jeans and have no intention of ever wearing them again.

There are only two USB C ports close to the cup holders, but this drive—all three of them—is a pure USB C device.

Oh my, I thought the 2TB had launch control. My 2TE definitely acts like a 2TB Sport Plus—it ...

Re: Poor Construction Quality

Does 2TB hold any significance on these more recent systems? Additionally, 2TE is the only option in the US ordering guide.

Re: Poor Construction Quality

Do specific USB ports support data transfer only? Do you have any USB C adapters on hand?

Re: Poor Construction Quality

It sounds like the Merino option, no doubt about it. Are jeans typically your go-to pants? I can see how that could play a role.

Re: Poor Construction Quality

Is your VIN associated with option 1CR? This article suggests that not all Australian states allow remote starts, so maybe they didn't have it in your market.

Re: Poor Construction Quality

Unfortunately, the G60 only comes with faux leather (Veganza) and Dakota is far more durable than Merino.

Lots of people have had to re-dye their seat bolsters because of wear and tear on their Merino interiors; you can find these discussions on M3 and M5 forums.

Re: Poor Construction Quality

Presumably, there was some misunderstanding about the availability of air conditioning preconditioning on the G60 platform; however, it is likely that this feature is only available on the 550e and i5 models. This is because operating the AC compressor while the car is off requires an electric motor ...

Re: Poor Construction Quality

That is the truth, unfortunately, of more recent models (I won't even go into the performance of the headlights or the fact that, beginning with the G30 LCI, there are no curve-adaptive low beams). Even though utilizing a USB drive isn't necessarily a dealbreaker, iDrive 8 did remove the ability to ...
