I was lucky enough to get the US IX 50 very early. I think it is amazing overall, however, if I could have a wish list on things that can be added, changed, included in US, here is what I would suggest (hopefully the BMW executives are reading this.
1-I wish the app would support live, realtime surround cameras (like Tesla does)
2- Allow automatic recording when a person come within a proximity of the car rather than start recording after an alarm is triggered.
3-US does not yet support automatic speed limit changes when using driving assistant pro (you have to keep hitting the set button when speed limit changes)
4-iphone users can't stream or watch videos on screen while car is parked. Strange considering Android users can and IX had an agreement with Apple for auto door unlocking exclusive with Iphone. It would be a great idea while sitting and charging car with nothing to do.
5-When using the driving assistance setting in the main center screen, I wish the display would show better view of the cars approaching in your blind spot. It actually will show the car approaching, however, by the time you see it on the display, the approaching car is already dangerously too close to switch lanes. If this can be adjusted (which it can't now), it would definitely help when changing lanes, in addition to the already included blind spot monitor on the mirror.
6-Selling an aftermarket moonroof screen. I live in S. Florida, even with the moonroof set to max darkness, you can still feel the heat and see the sunlight coming through.
7-Glove box is almost impossible to open at night. The button is off to the side of the box and not illuminated. I know that most glove box buttons are not lit up however, at night you and usually guess the location since most are usually in the center of the glove box,,,this one is not making it almost impossible to find.
8-US is missing the feature that will allow you to record up to 20 or so driving sequences and then "play" them back. Im not referring the back-up assistance as this is something different and there videos posted on both. Also, US does not have sign and traffic light recognition set up.
9- I wish rear windows can be programmed to completely come down. Strange!
10- Driving modes-Personal (at least mine), can not be "personalized" LOL. On my PHEV X3 I was able to customize it.
11-Adaptive suspension does not stayed raised after the car is turned off. You have to raise it each time.
12- I wish (like my PHEV X3) I pop up would appear after the car is turned off which say Climatize Immediately. For instance, when you are running into the grocery store for like 10 mins and want to keep your car cold (especially in S. Florida), you can just press the button to keep the AC running, instead of locking the door and then turning it on using the app. Too many steps.
I love the car overall,,,best car I have EVER owned, but I hope BMW reads this and maybe will make some changed
