What Owners Say
"At times back camera doesn’t switch back to normal operation after reversing"

Anonymous, FL (2016 BMW 2 Series 228i 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"bluetooth intermittent when first receiving calls; caller can hear me, i can't hear caller. Songs/playlist data empty even though it's playing a playlist"
Anonymous, ON (2016 BMW 2 Series)"In dash navigation is terrible, Siri on my iPhone is much better. It can't find addresses when I am sitting in the driveway - they don't exist according to the NAV. Also, the voice recognition fails on two part street names with two part city names: 1234 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, CA"
