Set up your 1-8 shortcut buttons. You can set them to almost anything that you can access in iDrive, not just radio presets. These are mine
1 - Call wife
2 - Messages
3 - Vehicle Status
4 - Comfort Ventilation
5 - blank
6 - blank
7 - Sports Display
8 - Stop nav (surprisingly useful when the car won't shutup but your destination is in sight)
Also i made a thread for free/cheap mods. Feel free to take a look.
