Engine · reported Sep 10, 2021
The charge pipe, connecting the cold side of the intercooler to the throttle body failed without warning. The failure point was the clamping point to secure the pipe to the throttle body. This vehicle has no powertrain modifications. The failure happened all of a sudden and as a result, my vehicle lost all power. Luckily, there wasn't anyone behind my car when this happened, but this could have easily been a big safety issue had I been merging onto a freeway/taking a left turn. I have not gotten the issue inspected by the dealer. The failure was easily visible. Parts of the charge pipe and…

Poor instrument gauge visibility under shade or overcast. Unable to see gauge markings during the day because there is no back lighting. Bmw changed the instrument gauges in the 2018 model due to this issue but did offer any changes for the 2017 generation.
Exterior Lighting · at 13,000 miles · reported Sep 22, 2018
The instrument cluster gauges (Speed and RPM) are very difficult to read under both bright sunny conditions, and dark shadow conditions (In a tunnel, or in shade). Wearing sunglasses?

The only way to help this (But not completely) is to turn on the parking lights which turns on the backlight. At dusk or at night it reads fine, but in daylight sun or shade it makes no difference. I find it to be a serious…

Poor visibility of gauge cluster in low light conditions. Makes reading the tachometer and speedometer near impossible in certain light conditions/situations. The 2018 models have a new gauge that solves this issue. I think it is a safety issue and the pre-2018 cars should be recalled to have this new cluster installed by bmw.

Instrument cluster (Speedometer, tachometer) has no lighting during daylight hours. It is a dark screen much of the day and I AM unable to clearly and quickly see the important gauges there, as described. Bmw provides no way (Back lighting, etc) to make this area visible during daylight hours. This is a safety issue.
