I guess I'm old fashioned but, I honestly never use siri or the voice commands in my car. I'm usually pretty quick to adopt new technology and I've told myself I'm going to make a conscious effort...

I meant solely from the standpoint of needing a touch interface for iOS integration, not that their method is best.

I like the sound of my X5d better than the sound of my wife's 335d. But, I'm a car guy who enjoys the sound of an engine, not someone who looks at a vehicle as an appliance solely for getting from...

I didn't think to include year and model. The new one is a 2013 35d. I guess maybe it's a 2013 model year issue. Maybe they changed relay suppliers or something.

I feel this is going to be underpowered for what the US market expects out of a BMW these days. Something more along the lines of 220-240hp, 350lb/ft would still give good mileage while having decent...

Oh god, it appears to have the side fender vent. Nooooo!

It is kind of weird being able to see daylight through the wheel opening out the front bumper because of the air curtain vent.
