Circular OLED Display Operating System 9 Software Latency & Reboots
medium severityThe bespoke 240mm round Samsung OLED touchscreen running Android Open Source-based MINI OS 9 can suffer from laggy map rendering, delayed climate control touch response, and spontaneous system reboots on early software versions.
7-Speed Steptronic Dual-Clutch Low-Speed Take-Up Hesitation

Knitted Dashboard Textile Dust Retention & Cleaning Sensitivity
low severityThe textured two-tone knitted recycled polyester dashboard covering can trap fine road dust and liquid splashes, requiring delicate vacuuming to avoid fluffing or bobbling the yarn.
