Nope, doesn't work with cruise.

The sticky at the top of the motors page is a good place to start.
It doesn’t? My 330e did for any downhill sections where the momentum was sufficient.

Because you've got a hybrid - these are different.
The conventional engined cars will not coast unless the cruise is off and the car is in Eco Pro mode (and Eco Pro Coasting is enabled in settings).

I don't think I even have that option in the settings, don't recall ever seeing it but will check.

Is the BMW Connected app just jank or am I missing something? It's so intermittent it's unreal, this is in a location will great 3G coverage too!?
Soldato
Not had any issues for me so far. It did prompt me to login in again when I drove this morning, although everything seemed to be working in the app.
How does the car connect to the net? (when you're not in it)

3G I believe. I was trying to change the charge profile but it kept failing, even from the Connected Drive portal on the web. Basic things like unlocking the doors works some times though.

It's been temperamental the last week or so for both BMW and Mini, app not logging in/Google send to car not working/traffic data not coming through etc. Wife's Mini also got 3 map updates over the air one after the other over the last couple of weeks which is handy as Mini provide no method to manually download the map data like BMW's portal (unless I have missed something)
I expect they have been doing some work on the back end. Going by where the cars lose signal etc I think BMW/Mini use Vodafone as the data provider.

Thanks think I’ll just get another set, apparently there is a sticky aswell on tyres so will read that too

I went with MP4S nonRF tyres when I changed my fronts recently and I had, drum roll ..... Asym2 RFs before. The Michelin’s were initially noisy but have now settled down and I don’t know if it’s the brand change or simply getting rid of the RF or both but the car feels so much nicer and I actually now enjoy driving it.
Just wish I could get rid of the rattles that the dealer fixed but which are now back

Quick question, is it worth risking buying a 330i (N53 272bhp) without warranty?
Yeah.
I find it's so good at maintaining speed in ecopro that in other traffic it's impossible to use effectively because of the speed gain during coasting.
If you’re happy with the car then why not, you can take out the extended BMW warranty it just won’t kick in for a month. If you’re buying private get an RAC or AA vehicle inspection done though for piece of mind re the mechanical aspects of the car.
guys, quick question, has anyone upgraded their NBT istep before?

They’ll only do it if they have to or if instructed by HQ to do it to fix a particular problem, though having said this I have heard stories of people binging the dealer 150 and then doing the update.
In terms of what it fixes, it all depends but people do subscribe to the old adage of it it ain’t broke ....
