Double button push

Hoppy_70 · 01-25-2017, 02:29 PM

So, second f30 and umpteen BMW's owned and just today I find out that a double press of the menu button brings up a shortcut screen to any recently used features (a bit like the iPhone double home button press).

What a time to be alive!

Do any other buttons double up?

If you set up 'guest' (or whatever its called) in the driver profile, you can allocate a further 8 shortcut buttons

It's not one of the presets, this is a double press of the menu button above your idrive wheel.

Nice find! I am double pressing everything from now on.

It's a good shout this, I may even try combining button pushes to see what else happens!

If you double-press the pedal on the right, the car goes faster... amazing!

I thought this thread was going to be another moan about pushing the start button twice to turn off the radio lol.

Haha good one.

If you press the loud pedal down hard to the floor you activate Kill Occupants Mode.
