So, it's been exactly one year now (picked it up on 24th OCT 2015). I thought I should post an update:

- MPG: 50/50 city/motorway, my combined is between 34~37 depending on traffic, etc. I work from home. So I don't have any standard commute, which is why the figures are always random.

- Noise: no rattles at all. I had a missing parcel shelf clip that occasionally caused rattles on rough roads. Fixed it and it's been fine since. More here: http://f48.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1268630

- Driving Assist: pedestrian detection thingamajig and auto brake have not yet kicked in. Maybe I'm a great driver, maybe they're faulty. I'm not putting it to test!! Front collusion audible/visual warnings work as normal.

- Standard seats: No problems what so ever. Sport seats would've been nice. But I have no regrets.

- Acceleration hesitation, jerky gear change, etc.: No issues what so ever. All three driving modes behave as expected. Sluggish in Eco Pro, responsive but relaxed in Comfort, sharp in Sport.

- Warnings, faults, etc.: I had a weird brake system warning back in February. A message popped up on the iDrive display saying something along the lines of brake system malfunction, drive moderately, etc. etc. It went away after restarting the car. Called dealer and were told that it was not a big deal. I think I must've put too much pressure on the parking brake coming out of park. Didn't have my seat belt on and assumed it would release automatically as normal. I'll mention it when I'm in for my first service.

- Other issues: nasty mildew smell comes out of aircon for the first minute or two whenever I start the car (if temperature is set to below 21~22 degrees). I don't know if it's a blocked drain or just dirty filters. Haven't had the time to look into it.

- Software and map updates: I cannot update my map. The USB download option is simply not there on the Connected Drive website when I log in. In fact, I can't use the website at all as it is stuck on "preconditioning" (

But I'm not buying!! Does anyone else have this issue? My production date is 28th SEP 2015. EDIT: "Preconditioning" bug has fixed itself after nearly 6 months!! It's probably the new Connected Drive website that has fixed it. Still no USB map updates to download for free or purchase! more discussion here: https://i.imgur.com/GDkhqoL.jpg).
