How many miles on your G90 right now?

I wanted to pool existing users to get a sense of actual usage for the G90 in the current weather.

I have 68 miles on mine, 64 electric 8 gas. MD weather is crap.

1027 total. Less than 1% on e-drive. I hit M1 everytime I get into the car. Just got my break in service completed yesterday. It's been so much fun since.

Just curious how much the JB four ran you with the Bluetooth Option, And as far as the pull, could you feel it immediately?

The price omis around 1200$
I installed it myself
I put map 2 and yes you can immediately feel the difference and i think the car should have ccame with that much power from factory
I think it is the best mod so far
Mind you i did not install the westgate connections yet which will add more power

I mean keep in mind the gearbox max torque rating and factory torque levels are level at worst and likely BMW went a little over it based off dynos so far... so you might be realllly on the ragged edge for gearbox safety/longevity. Depends how strict the ZF max rating really is

I was comfortable doing it given same setup with XM and no issues with racechip or jb4 as far as i know
Will not go over map 2 nway so should not be a problem

1,213 on the clock. I too hit the M1 button just after starting when I pull out of the garage. Just had my break in service this morning. Oil and diff. Felt good to finally put the pedal to the floor and not worry about going over 5k RPM's.

2000 miles, enjoying every mile. My carbon side mirrors squeak as they unfold and fold, and besides that I hear rattling in the rear passenger section when I play music loud, I’m guessing the rear screen or passenger belt or something else causing it. What else, oh yea I see a huge difference in power when I use shell 93 vs other. It pulls way harder.

And whoever said the sound system sucks.. They have lost their mind as I find it amazing but it changes if you have a passenger with you.. . I have concluded the inputs matter a lot, I use YouTube music exclusively and have my setting on HD all the time. Anything lower it sucks, and don’t ever use spotify, their quality is the worst consistently.

I have decided I’m going to let it squeak till the car gets a little more used as I worry the dealership will most likely add a few scratches and rattles trying to figure this thing..

Look into Qobuz. Probably the best quality music streaming service out there. They pay the artists among the highest and their sound quality is 24/192 FLAC. Not only do I use it in the car but with my home system (McIntosh/Sonus Faber/Lumin).
