What did you learn or discover about your M3/M4 today?

It was a small thing but a pleasant delight: the shortcut keys in the center console are touch sensitive so you can place your finger there to see what each saved shortcut is before you press it.

Good to know!

After the 2-day M School down in Spartanburg the other week I've learned that the capabilities of my car far exceed the limits I've pushed it it to date.

While in europe I learned that even though the cellular connection isn't supposed to work it does and you can use it as much as you want and nobody knows who gets billed for it

Thanks to my delivery specialist for letting me in on that little tid bit

LTE, what does this mean and how is it a benefit?

Long Term Evolution. It refers to cellular technology that is capable of high speed data transmission. It means that when the car needs to update its maps it can do so very quickly as it has a high speed data connection over the cellular networks.

In simple terms 4g vs 3g.

Ok. And this is really for only the services built into the car; sos, updates etc?

No real practical benefits to the consumer?

I learned that I have to manually downshift a tad earlier when coming to a stop to avoid the mega rev-match of 3rd to 1st when looking for a 3rd to 2nd shift. Onlookers thought I was a bozo deluxe.

Assuming my F30 is the same but noticed that when my low tire pressure light came on (due to cold weather, not a flat), it wouldn't let me put the adaptive suspension into Sport.

Sport+ fixes this

Lol I'm usually in sport+ 99% of the time! If you're coming to a stop and manually downshifting and you pull the (-) paddle 1 millisecond too late the car will downshift on it's own to 2nd and your pull will actually downshift the car to 1st. So instead of the little rise in rpm going from 3rd to 2nd you get a big increase in rpm since it goes from 3rd to 1st almost immediately at too great of a road speed. So it looked like I'm being a dbag revving my engine real high for no reason lol

Does the car have last setting memory on comfort, sport or sport+?

I'll remember that for my next ED!

X2Board · 10-23-2015, 12:35 PM

That the seats don't automatically move into the position saved to the keyfobs, like they did on my X5M. So on the rare occasion that my wife drives my car, I have to push the button on the seat.
