Near my home there's a small junction where I turn left. The approach road does a left, then a right just before the left turn. If you indicate left, the right-hander cancels the indicator and you then have to press the stalk down again straight away to keep indicating left. Car is trying to be too clever

Ah, I see. I haven't had occasion to try what you mention, but my old cars kept the indicator switched on when depressed as you mentioned.

the 19's have the two tone rims but are you saying the 18' for 2013 are two tone? The ones people are posting don't look like they are. Im waiting for your pics too.

Maybe I'm just the first to point it out? Notice the one of the left has a slightly brushed surface with the inside walls of the spokes being slightly darker. Not the case on mine (right). |

I've had my '13 Sport Line for about 2 weeks now, and something cool that I noticed was that when you put the car into reverse, it lights up the door handle lights, and the fog lights so that it illuminates the ground around you better.

And cruise control works nicely too. 1 click up and it moves 1mph, 1 click down and 1mph down, with the light indicator moving. Fancy lighting for something as mundane as cruise control. I was happily surprised to find a nice cargo net under the trunk floor. Seems the dealer prep guys missed it. I didn't realize it came with the car. It's held nicely by 6 nibs that go into the holes in the trunk floor. |

The wheels on the left are the ones BMW showed on pre-release photo's, but the wheels on the right were the ones the cars actually came with. The two tone wheels are still shown on BMW's website on 'build your own'. I could be wrong here, could be bad memory. I don't recall seeing the "two tone" wheels on any cars from actual forum members picts. I recall when I first saw the wheels, the ones on the left, and I didn't like the Pontiac style two tone. The wheels on the right look better, I agree. |

I just recall seeing the two tone wheels early, and then in later spring it seems BMW changed over. Yet, the BMW website still shows those wheels in two tone. I have an Msport, which has different wheels, no two tone. |

I don't use cruise very often, but next time I do I'll check it out. Is this in the manual? I don't recall reading that. |

Yes, although it is one of many tidbits easily missed:
Each time the rocker switch is pressed pastAs I recall, the first push jumps to the nearest speed which is a multiple of five, and increases/decreases 5 MPH for each following press. |

I think it's the setting with an "A" in the circle, for 'auto'. |
