It's "dynamic" rather than "OFF" - So it's like a loosened nanny-mode, if that makes sense.
Let's you lose the rear a bit in turns, but will catch you before you die, if you're lucky. Best situation IMO would be to get performance driving lessons and practice on your own car w/ all traction settings fully OFF, so you know the dynamics, then operate in a dynamic stability/traction mode just for a little protection.

and no the catch isn't magnetic. Police - Emergency Mode .... your lights flashe and so you gain the right to move around traffic

It seems to act as an override of the main A/C controls for the center vents. It's not described very well in the manual; just in troglodyte terms: Blue - cold, red - hot. |

Didn't see this mentioned yet, unless I missed it, but if you press the mute button (volume knob on head unit), it will pause a CD or iPod/iPhone instead of just muting. For the radio of course it is just a mute feature...

Noticed on a couple of occasions that if I have my fob in my pocket -- i can accidentally open the trunk while spraying the back of the car down before soaping it up

It's a 3 button in one OFF - Pause - Mute .... it's all the same to BMW - they just want to simplify things... just like there is no more volume level indication... you just turn to your (ears') satisfaction... or like the fuel gauge level, no more minor indication, not even a 1/2 or 1/4 indication... As for the blue/red ventilation knob ??? It has been on 3 series for generation all ready .... i never new exactly what it is... i just know that if i wanted cool air , i would select blue (on top of the temperature selection) and then during the winter, when i would need hot air i would just select red (on top of the temperature selection) it has been like that since the E36, also on E46, and E90...

The dial allows various temperature control for the upper vents. Think of driving in the winter at night and feeling drowsy. Turn the dial to blue and get cooler air hitting you in the face to make you more alert. Bet it's written in the manual somewhere. Joel |

Is there a MUTE button on the steering wheel by chance? My current car has that and when muted-it automatically pauses the iPod/MP# song playing--Its a great feature to have--especially when someone calls via bluetooth.

you can send address destinations from google maps on ur pc or laptop to ur car idrive.
once u google map ur destination, click on the red dropped pin on the map, it will open a destination information box, click on "more", then send, then click on to "car", select bmw, then enter ur email address associated with ur bmw assist account then click send. now in ur car, open messages and u will find the destination info so u can nav to or call.
