So Much Fun To Drive
Just picked up the M35i in Storm Bay Metallic. It’s beautiful and powerful. Came out of a ‘21 X3 and this is so much more fun to drive with just slightly smaller cargo and interior space. The engine is powerful and the handling is great. Love the looks!!

Pretty but very glitchy
I leased this car from BMW South Albany after one test drive, in May ‘24. I go a brand new one from the factory. I fully admit being suckered by looks and an initial fun drive HOWEVER the electronics are extremely glitchy across the board. Even after help from the tech guy who turned off the BMW system (terrible) so I could use Apple play without interference the sound comes and goes every few minutes and sometimes the reverse camera doesn’t come on. The whole system is also VERY complicated to use. A month in, while I was parked someone reversed into my new car causing what looked like minor damage to the front grille. I sat on it for a month more but BMW Albany said it could affect the sensors and I should get it fixed so .., The car has been in the shop for 2 weeks and it will be another month till the parts arrive. In the mean time I can’t drive my car but I am still making huge lease payments. I have to say this is a dire combo of crappy dealership and customer support from the greater organization of BMW. The other owner’s insurance is paying for a rental for me. It is a Toyota Camry. It’s a less fun ride but its electronics are totally glitch free and I don’t fear being locked out. Oh yes, that happened too…
