The Canadian vehicle allows you to open the windows (possibly sunroof too, didn't hold it down long enough) with the remote, but not to close them that way. To close them you have to do it manually or by holding down the lock spot if you have CA.

Are you serious? Luxury line comes with sport+? That's awesome! I'm ordering the luxury line, but want the sport package too. If this is true, you just made my day

There are many features and many quirks.

Sorry to disappoint but the Luxury line does not come with Sport+ mode. However, I understand Sport+ does come on any car fitted with Sports suspension, Sports steering or Sport auto.

Your headlights will stay switched on for a preset time after you lock your car. The idea is that they will keep your driveway lit while you get into the house.

Well, I just received my new 335i Sport line. I verified that the windows close when you press and hold the ridge patch on the door handle but do not close when you push and hold the lock button on the remote. Also, our mirrors don't budge.

I think it might be a safety feature that you are not able to close the windows via the remote, to avoid pinching fingers inadvertently...

The engineering thought is that: via remote you could be not in visual contact with the car, and therefore could not sure whether someone is actually be in danger if the windows were to be raised up without supervision.

I wish i could have my car right now to verify also this fact...

Long-pressing the remote does close the sunroof and all windows on my EU-spec 328i. We probably traded this feature for the no signal one..

I do not think this is new. I am pretty sure my '02 E46 has this feature

Thanks Raspartan. I'm having a lot of fun learning about all the neat features. As for the drive, my initial impression: I'm glad I ordered the M sport suspension. I was worried that it would be too hard, but in reality it feels quite soft compared to my brain rattling Z4M suspension. I wouldn't want anything softer than what I got.

When the weather improves, I'll post some pictures so you can see the colour combination: liquid blue on coral red.

I recall a television show I watched when the E46 was introduced where they tested the E46. The follow me home lights as well as some other cool new features at the time as seats/steering wheel/mirrors with memory function were mentionned. To my recollection, BMW was the first to offer this feature at the time (but I could be wrong on that one).

I confirmed that if I hold down the button long enough the sunroof will also open.

As for trading of "features" for options, if Canadians had to trade a "feature" for every option that we're missing the car would be an unusable death trap.

Do 19" wheels count as sporty??
Those wheels make my Luxury looks mighty sporty ...
Therefore i should get that Sport + mode no!?!

Sorry, I should have Luxury line does not feature sports+ as standard. Presumably you have one of the 'sports' options (sports auto, sports suspension, sports steering etc), or no?

My Luxury line definitely does not have sports+.

Either way, nice that you have it!

Oh, and to echo another post - this is a fantastic thread!

+1 PrinceBarin is correct. I remember seeing a photo of one our members' stunning Mojave F30 Bimmers (Svache) that is a Luxury Line, 328i. And I noticed on his iDrive that he had Sport + mode. I messaged him and asked if he had the M Adaptive Suspension, and he replied that he did not, but had the Sport Steering option, hence the availability to him of the Sport + mode.

Now I wish I would have gotten one of those options above, specifically the Sports suspension....But alas, it is still the "Ultimate Driving Experience"!
