Park Assist
Reverse Camera
Pro Nav
Auto transmission

My query was along the lines of are there any 'things' I should be aware of? These could be cool features that you may have figured out etc. or things I should be careful of.

Also, now that Auto start stop has been a round do most of you guys leave it on or turn it off? My gut instinct is to turn it off...

I'll be viewing the car later this week, probably on Saturday and if all goes well, I could be the owner of my first BMW.

Thanks
Regards the auto start/stop it's bloody annoying on an auto as you can't modulate it with the clutch like on a manual. If you're coming to a roundabout and you only want to stop for a split second it cuts out just when you want the power. In my opinion it can be dangerous on rare occasions and just dam right annoying in others. You could move the stick to the left to counter act it but then what's the point of an auto if you're gonna fiddle with the stick anyway.
