Can’t find a way to sync temps on the climate control! Really??
This surprises me as well. I figured it was like my previous Audis and VWs with a sync button or something else to make them match. Maybe there is another way to do it with BMW systems. I haven’t dug into the manual yet.

I'm hoping to screen mirror some OBD-based dashboard for engine and trans data.
Brilliant. I'm curious to see how this works out. I have an old Android tablet lying around, maybe I'll give that a shot.

I read the manual cover to cover, and couldn't find any mention of how to do this. I was a bit surprised.

Quirks I have noticed:

The back end gets COVERED in brake dust. After only 100 miles the back end looked like it was covered in soot, mostly on the lower arch's but it gets all over the back end of the car. The little Toyota badge was filthy after just a few days. I actually ordered detailing brush's to deal with that. They just arrived, so I went to clean it. On closer inspection the whole back end was covered in dust and dirt. Only needed a good wipe down (Car has not seen rain yet).

While doing that I did notice a quirk on the exhaust. The left one is open and no signs of soot etc yet. The right one has a noticeable white deposit where some fluid is getting trapped behind the closed valve and is released when opened. Something gets trapped in water behind the valve and comes out when its opened. Not sure what it is, it's white like limescale, but I can't see limescale coming from moisture in the air, so dunno what it is.

I actually spotted another on the road today! Never thought I would see one as only 300 in the UK this year. A red one drove by me in Dover this afternoon about 13:40 or so. I only saw him/her in the rear view mirror.

Not sure if this is common knowledge but I had assumed the parking sensor button by sport mode just turned the sensors off. I realized today it actually activates them and is actually really useful for when parking somewhere tight or with a blind curb...figured I would share just in case people hadn’t tried that button yet and are as scared as I am about curbing my brand new baby!

^^^ They are supposed to turn on automatically when you approach an object in the front but have yet to see that happen.
Mine do but I feel like it's only at low speed.

Ya I noticed they have turned on by themselves a few times but if they don’t you can push the button to activate it

There is a setting in the menus for them to automatically come on. Make sure that’s set. The speed threshold is really low but i trigger mine each time I pull in or out of the garage.

Drove at night for first time and the display screen looks great. It appears that it is stuck in the nighttime brightness mode during the day and some of the info is barely visible (the clock). I have not tinted anything yet that would obscure the sensor (and I don't know where it is). I looked at some BMW boards and they are having the same issue -- I guess there is a way to change the menu back to an older version which has a "brightness" setting in place of "brightness at night," which is what we have, but it takes a laptop and some specific software.

Probably a dealer thing...

Have a picture of the main areas the brake dust covers? I’m wondering about ppf there.

Thanks!

It's the whole back of the car. From the trunk to the diffuser. It's pretty normal on performance cars.

Here you go. It's really hard to see on camera, but I swiped my finger across, which is just visible.
