I also don't have a compass, or a speedo with miles per hour on my 2016 F31 Canadian car. So I put my Android phone in a bracket on my vents. I then use DigiHUD [free from play store] which gives me a digital speed in mph or kph, + compass+average speed+ max speed+distance traveled. I plug it into a miniusb plug that plugs into the cigarette lighter [I'm old and don't know what this plug is called now that smoking tobacco is not cool].
BTW: my Android phone also has a navigation program that shows me in print how far away [in km or miles] the next turn is, and names the street/road. This is important info for me because I know what street name to look for and how far away that turn is from me as the distance decreases. Is there a way I can get the BMW navigation system to show me this? It sometimes speaks the distance and street name once, and then not again until I am about 100 meters from the turn. This kind of sneaks up on me and then I have to cut over a lane or two quickly as I look at the road signs to check which specific turn to make. |

My number 8 button is programmed to turn shuffle on or off. If I'm listening to whole albums off my ipod, I dont want to shuffle, but on playlists I don't want to hear songs in the same order all the time. Programmed button makes it easy to go back and forth.

Holy crap why am I just now learning about that? I set "navigate home" to 1 and "messages" to 2. Saves so much time and effort

I just realized I can make the sunroof go from wide open to tilted open with the same single press of the tilt open button. For some reason I thought I had to close the sunroof before pressing the switch to tilt the sunroof open. :

If you leave the wipers up in the "service" position (i.e. in the winter to keep them from getting buried under snow and ice) and then drive off and lower them once you start moving, the wiper washers are rendered inoperable for some random period of time.
Service dept spent 3 days "troubleshooting" When I mentioned it happens if the wipers are left up for example overnight they were able to replicate it on my car and other F30's on the lot. No fix available and I was told to "lower the wipers before moving the car" |

Does it stop the washer motor and just wipes or doesn't do anything when you operate? |

If you want a faster fan speed than "Auto" allows
Click on the vent direction button. Then the fan speed can go higher. I no longer have to freeze to get more air volume. Took me over a year to figure this out LOL.

probably has been mentioned here before (no way am i gonna read through 66 pages)...
but i do like the 'hidden' 12v socket in the passenger side just behind the center stack. it was in my e92, and while in traffic, i decided to feel and see if it was still there in the f30... it is!

Signaling left with Active Cruise Control on will cause the engine to rev up slightly, in preparation to pass slower traffic in front of you.
