Feedback on my (and some other owners' themes) for the G87 M2.

- auto start/stop function-- just delete this from every car please
- wireless charging pad is useless in the M2, more of a phone warmer
- the lane assist is just too much intervention. In the M2 it vibrates the steering wheel and also places the car back in the lane. I turn off that assistance since there are times I need to veer outside of a lane to avoid debris, pothole, etc and I don't want to fight with this technology
- throttle lag with the 6mt-- seems like BMW biased the power to the higher revs to make the low end more civilized but went a little too far
- lack of rear HVAC controls in the 2024 model year-- 2023 has this
- lack of digital key option for the 6mt models
- lack of 360 degree camera in the G87 though you can get it in the M240i....
- the stock brake pads squeak and throw sooooo much dust. If you have black wheels they are never looking clean

- the HVAC and infotainment controls should be taken out back and beaten with a bat like the scene from Office Space. The HVAC is such a pain to use and the "auto" function makes no sense. Then next time you start the car it doesn't stay with the settings from the previous drive. Lets say it is super hot out and you could have it set to the lowest temp and vents on high. You come back to the vehicle later that day and it is set to random temp (usually 74) with the vents not blowing at all. I just don't get how Lexus got away with such crap technology. I admit I have not spent much time trying to better learn the system since it's not my vehicle. Maybe it could be better but even so it is still crap.
