In case you wondered what the key icon ('dead key fob') on the right hand side of the steering column is about.
Purpose: if your key fob battery is dead and your car features the comfort access option (option code 0322 - yes, the battery remote controls for BMWs featuring the 'comfort access' option die - never recharged), you can still start the car by holding the key fob against that steering column area between the arrows + subsequently press the brake and 'Start/Stop' button.

The center arm rest slides forward about 3 or 4 inches if you prefer that.

I do read the manual differently, in that this would also work without comfort access. This is a quote from page 54 of the US 2018 Manual: The alarm system is triggered when the door is opened, if the vehicle has been unlocked via the door lock. In order to stop the alarm, unlock the vehicle with the remote control or switch on the ignition, if needed, through emergency detection of the remote control, refer to page 53. |

In the 6MT the throttle sensitivity reverts to comfort when moving in reverse no matter what setting the car is in.

When you press the audio volume button, not only do you mute but you also pause the song, regardless whether you are playing from Mixcloud/Soundcloud/Spotify. Excellent when you enter a tunnel or you are going to tackle some nice curves and you want to hear engine instead of techno.

Hill assist

Put the handbrake on when you are on a hill to prevent rolling back. When you are ready to go you gently release the clutch while adding some revs and gently release the handbrake. I lived in England and that's the way they are all taught. It works like a charm.......try it. |

Simple. All these people thinking they have discovered something special in these cars..haven't.
There is not magic in any of these transmissions. It is simply a function of torque and proper clutch slipping. Let's stop talking about it as if it were some great thing. |

I find the "Quick Search" feature pretty excellent. You just say it, It is not Google but it is decent and your hand never leave the wheel.
