I can with my fob.. but I may have coded that. Can't recall the full list of things I enabled via coding.

If you have standard access the windows and sunroof will open if you hold down the unlock button, and close if you hold down the lock button, no coding required. You have to code it with CA. On the wagon, GT and GC you can code the fob and driver's door frame hatch open buttons to close it as well. Why that's not the default arrangement is a puzzlement.

So, I just had a 330 loaner. I found it interesting that the turn signal and wiper stalks function differently than my 328. In my car, when you activate the turn signal, the stalk immediately snaps back to the middle position. Same with the wipers--you push up a little or a lot to put the wipers in slow or fast mode, and the stalk snaps back to the middle.
But the 330 is more conventional, like every other car I have ever driven. Turn signal stays up or down until your turn is completed. If you push the wiper stalk up once, it's in Auto mode (no more button) and stays there, even when you shut the car off, and then turn it back on. I wonder why the change? |

Side note: On my car, the 'auto-off' for the full turn signal is too 'sensitive'. More precisely, there doesn't seem to be an 'overrun' required before turning back before the turn signal turns off. This causes the turn signals to turn off repeatedly if there is a minor curve while approaching a turn. I turn them on, I have the wheel turned maybe 15-20 degrees from center, and turn it slightly back due to the way the road is curved.. turn signal turns off. I turn it back on, repeat... (or, I don't notice it turned off since there's no 'click' of the stalk returning). In cars with the locking stalk, they typically require you turn the wheel an extra 15-20 degrees PAST the reset point before the reset point is 'armed'. This prevents a lot of this behavior. |

It's a 2018 change, also noted in the release notes for 2018 models

Even worse is the Alfa stalk that returns to center and you can't cancel the turn signal if you hit it by mistake. http://nseavoice.com/cars/2017-alfa-...920020904.html |

Yeah. The BMW implementation is actually a bit nicer than the VW/Audi implementation. Theirs doesn't 'return to center' every use, but canceling their 'comfort' (1-5 blink) turn signal isn't possible. Canceling the BMW one is. I just wish they included hysteresis for steering angle based turn signal shut-off, like every other car I've ever driven.

Found out today that if you double tap the unlock button on the remote, the windows open to allow easier access in the 4-series.
Not sure if noted before, but thought it was a cool find!

I only discovered the telescopic steering wheel adjustment the other day, took mine to the dealer to have the charge cooler replaced, got back in and the steering wheel seemed a little further away than normal. It took me a few minutes of adjusting my seat to realise that I might try to adjust the steering wheel too. Unlatching the rake adjustment arm, and then pulling (or pussing) the wheel into or away from the dash. Cool features for those with arms of abnormal proportions

When manually shifting (via the paddle shifters) if you hold the right paddle for approximately 2-3 seconds, the transmission returns to drive.
......the only reason I bring this up now, would be due to the fact that this feature is not functional on our X5 with SAT (MY 14), nor was it enabled on my '15 4 Series Gran Coupe or my '16 3 series equipped with the same transmission.

On my 2017 340i xDrive, pulling on right paddle for 1-2 secs will return it into D if it was in a gear previously selected by paddle shift. Pulling on left paddle for 1-2 secs will downshift into lowest gear possible.

I had the new style in my 2013 X3 and it did take me a bit to get comfortable with it but fine once I had. I'm indifferent about the function but the old way does seem better functionally. |

I know this is on here buried on somewhere, but the favorite thing I've learned this year is the extra push that opens the sunroof as much as possible. Let the sunroof open completely and then push back the button/slider again and you'll get an extra bit of sunshine.
