Contrary to urban legend, that long slot there is not a built-in paper shredder.

My first full day with the 328i, driving out to the dealer with my old car's title and then running across the city to a wildlife park, I brought along and played a couple of my favorite CDs. Cool to be skimming along at 70 while the Amazing Rhythm Aces play "Fool For That Woman"!

I use a short cut for the TPM. Another one for time shifting the SiriusXM radio. One to call my wife and the trip computer. Plus a few other things.

1. When returning from a drive, one press of the auto start/stop while in drive puts it into Park.

2. Will not move with the door open. While stuck in snow, I tried to get a view of the rear wheel while hitting the gas. Nothing. Nice safety feature.

I learned I can't have my fog lights on unless the lights are on; they don't work with just the parking lights on. I used to be able to put them on in both e36 and 46 with just parking lights. Fn bmw. Why?

Also, I learned that objects in the passenger mirror are closer than they appear.

Mine can come on with just the parking lights, even the rear fogs...I don't remember coding this, maybe PO did it, so it's def possible.

My 12 year old discovered that the top of the idrive knob is a touch pad for entering letters with your finger. I had no idea.

1) If you have ACC and it is activated, when you are completely stopped you can push the 'RES' button on the steering wheel and the car will start moving again (if nothing is in front of you). Furthermore, the light around the speedometer that indicates where the speed is set will change color: green means ACC is active and engaged, red means manual intervention is required to get the car moving again. When the car comes to a complete stop it takes approximately 3 seconds to turn from green to red.

2) PDC beeps in different frequencies if an obstruction is detected in the front or back. Also it will beep through the left or right speakers depending on where the obstruction is. (Can't believe it took me a year to notice that!)

If you drive along with ACC active and need to downshift to do a quick overtake, it resumes ACC speed when you lift on the gas after returning to your own lane.

Sunroof can go back in two steps. Even on a F36

If your rear fogs work, then the car was definitely coded.

For those with a turn signal stalk that doesn't stay up or down, push the stalk one more time towards the same direction of the signal will turn off the signal, e.g. push down pass resistant point -> left signal stays on, push down again -> signal off. This can prevent accidentally turning on the signal of the opposite direction.

It’s codeable. Was on my e46 as well.
I changed mine to enable that a few months ago. Don’t like running Xenons during the bumper to bumper Christmas light tour but need some light on street.


Presets:
1 dvd
2 zoom
3 sat radio
4 external source
5 messages
6 interior lighting
7 tpms
8 sport display

Thank you again, Oni! I've got a list of just a few things to code--
--rev matching off
--actual gear showing (not suggested gear)
--fog lights
--5-7 blink turn signal (3 isn't enough in NJ!)

Follow up, question-- "Messages"--are those from the car or text messages from your phone? Been trying to get the latter, not sure I can.

From the phone. To get them to show you have to make sure the message app is closed and notifications is turned on, before connecting o car each time.
and you need to code for office.

T change blinks you need to code in eSYS, but if your I step is too new it won’t work anymore.
Was also one of the few things that bmwai was unable to code, probably because you have actually create a new werte value. That seems to be the ONE limitation BMWAI has. Otherwise it is Frankly easier and better than eSYS to use so I use it now for most things.

I had Tried 5 blinks and switched to 6 last time. Is a little too long but better long than short.
Suggest starting at 6 when you try it.
