Regarding the car putting itself into P when reversing with the door open - you have to reverse really slow. But once you try putting it back in drive, it won't no matter what.

One cool thing I noticed. I started the car backed up and had to get something from the trunk. At this point I think I heard the tailpipe actuator engage. So when you start the car both exhausts are open. Then they close and function normally after idling a bit.

Back on track with something "cool" - when the engine is shut down but the ignition is still on, the radio/audio continues to play, as expected. However, remotely locking the doors with the key fob turns off the ignition and thus also turns off the radio/audio. Coming from the dinosaur-age E46/E53, which actually needs a key in a slot, this was quite a revelation. True, one can also turn off the ignition by pressing the SS button again. |

One thing it it possible to do is set all your radio presets as a single button, so when I hit the "1" button, I can then scroll through the radio per-sets with the idrive controller. This and iPhone integration were set up by my CA at delivery. With the wheel / heads up feature, it is probably redundant, but it was cool to have while getting used to the car. Another feature is the tow feature. God forbid you ever need to use it, but if you need a rear tow to get the car out of the woods or something after a crash, you carefully knock out / remove the little square in the rightvrear bumper and screw in the eyelit that is in the trunk on the right side with the tools.

Not necessarily a 'feature' but BMW has 44 helpful videos featuring 'features' that are very useful:

Some may already know this, after you pull the sunroof button to open the roof it stops at an opening. You can open it about another 3-4" if you pull the button manually, the roof opens up fully.

I don't know if anyone else has already mentioned this but...
With comfort access, holding my finger on the ridge part of the door handle to lock the car and keeping it there for a few seconds will automatically fold the door mirrors in. That was a great accidental discovery

So moonroof = sunroof? That makes no sense. Since a sunroof is something you open when it's sunny, and is heavily tinted to protect you from the sun, a moonroof is ... what, something you open at night for no benefit?

And also: When it's open, you can see the moon. Provided there is no significant cloud coverage and the time is right. That's no moon! That's a Space... Never mind, wrong movie. Last edited by ChiefBroady; 09-04-2012 at 12:49 PM.. |

Just to get it slightly back on track, I just tried the windows and they close too. Comfort Access rocks

A sunroof was the early incarnation of a moonroof. The sunroof was just a painted panel that opened and was the same color as the car. A moonroof is a glass panel that opens.
