I noticed in my F82 that there is an 'OFF' label inscription next to the small fan icon and thought to press and hold it down for a couple of seconds and boom - it turned off the the fan completely! When I press the large fan icon button, the ventilation system goes back to the settings it was running (for instance, if you had the AC going it will turn the system back with the AC running again). Discovering this was HUGE for me! FINALLY, one touch off! Now, if they would just put in a 'SYNC' button so the driver can control both temp settings when the front passenger seat it empty...

Nice find

It was there for E9x series and was called 'ALL'

I discovered the flip-over coat hooks.

Don't store your cup holder cover in the door bin while you have a cup being held. It's rather difficult to get out again.

And to make it even easier and not have to add a physical button they could just make it an iDrive setting were you either have it so you control one or both sides together

The 12v outlet under the dashboard can be used for charging cell phone and I thought it was a cigarette lighter for some reason. For using the portable air compressor I always used the hidden socket under the glove box and from now I can use the one under the dashboard. That's so stupid of me

Just curious, why would you ever want to completely turn off the fan? I always have the fan on in my cars as it brings fresh air into the cabin.

Everything single thing about the 2018 CP compared to the 2015 is better.

HUGE improvements.

Windows open, sunroof open, convertible roof down etc

My 666 Comp Wheels are a pain in the ass to clean. I think there are 25 individual gaps per wheel. 100 gaps per car is too many.

One of the reasons why we ordered the 19" wheels on my wife's 2018 M3.

Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus and a hose is all you need. They get dirty after 1 or 2 brake sessions anyway

when you wash your car with the key in your pocket, the water running down the door handles will lock/unlock the car.

I've also found that spraying near the lower trunk area will sometimes activate the "trunk kick" feature. Very annoying.

To be careful when wearing jeans with button on the side, I scratched the big driver's side bolster when getting out. Now I have a scratches on my SO seats. I may never wear jeans again.

Learned you can't use voice control to call 911

ID5 told me to hit the SOS button instead.

So, hit the SOS button and told Connected Drive Operator I needed the local police (In my county all requests for police are routed through 911).

Connected Drive Operator proceeds to get in a snit because I don't pay for Concierge Service I'm calling for police, not asking directions

Said F it, called 911 after finding a safe place to pull over, geez

The aerodynamics and wind swirls in the rear above the 4 exhaust pipes leave the top of bumper with very nasty soot. Adding some rain to it it and my beautiful Mineral White rear turns into one nasty ass.

If anything, rain makes any dust on the back of the car worse since it doesn’t wash anything off and makes it streak all over. Same happens on my Alpine White. No free “carwashes” from the rain in this car.

I find the little sill/shelf under my trunk lid is always collecting dust and dirt.
