My 2022 Mini SE -- Near worthless after 4 years ..

Ok not completely worthless but quite a shock .. We spec'd it from the factory with white leather interior, roof bars and hood stripes and all the available media tech etc.. It came out to around 50k (Swiss francs) ..

Fast forward to last month.. Went to the dealer to trade in for BMW and they offered my 7k for it.. Perfect condition, fully serviced, two sets of wheels, 70k kilometres. After picking myself up from the floor I looked around online and indeed yes, they are selling privately for 10-12k with less kms than mine.

Really fell off a cliff .. I guess nobody wants an EV that struggles to get 150km on a full charge these days, even thought it was a great little go-cart.

Finally replacing my XT2s .. Procedure..

Been very reluctant to upgrade because until now, they've just worked fine.. Really well in fact. But have got one with moisture in the lens now and another seems to have lost it's night vision.. So with the prime day deal I just bought a whole new set, 6 2k's , module and a new mini.

I have a grandfathered account being an og.. and thinking I will replace everything, sync modules too .

I go into each existing module, settings > general > delete device? Then I'm left with just sync modules on my account .. Then delete those .. Now all those devices are ready to re-use /re-cycle / give away?

Now I just start from new and still have my grandfathered account?

Navigation voice changes language randomly! IX2 xdrive20

So WTF .. Car brand new from mid May this year, only 2000kms .. Bought in Switzerland (French speaking part) but language changed to English at the dealer.

About 30% of the time I use the navigation the voice has been in German and defaulted back to full volume, it's annoying as fuk. When this happen the rest of the system is still in English, even the 'hey BMW', it's just the spoken navigation instruction..

Next time I use it's back to English and volume reduced again.. Latest system updates all installed. Ideas?

What is wrong with the "Keep control" warning!? 2026 Spring 65

It's a near brand new Spring extreme 65 .. Same stretch of road, every time I drive there the steering wheel is trying to 'correct' me, pulling both ways and the beeping 'keep control' warning appears.

Driving on the right, main road, single white line, straight road, open fields on each side, car is clean, camera not obscured, only happens here. My other car does nothing here (BMW)

What's triggering it??

Getting bored with them now?

Had my few bitaxes since Feb 2025 and for a while it was fun, i upgraded heatsinks and blah blah.. Was excited to see 5g, 10g, 20g, 50g all in the first 3 months.. But since then i just left them running only upgrading the firmware and cleaning them every 3 months or so..

They've done nothing more since.. Between restarts for firmware they might hit 500mb but nothing more.

Just me? I know it's luck but feels like they had a honeymoon period and gave up, just wasting electricity now.

New Spring 65 extreme .. Keep control - annoying!

What is it doing!? Driving the A roads near me, there's a single white line in the middle of the road, sometimes there's a yellow cycle lane.. I'm well within my lane, not over any lines but often the steering wheel is pulling in both directions and beeping telling me too keep control..

What's confusing it? I know I can switch off these assistants but generally they should be a good thing.

When I drive same road in my other car it totally does nothing.

What's the lifespan of these.. My WR130E for example

Mine is a 2019 model and it working perfectly well since day one.. Obviously with the usual initial fixes to boundary etc.

I keep looking at newer and fancier models, GPS blah blah..

Does these run forever? Is mine even old?
