Probably been mentioned, but if you have power rear seats and lock the windows, it disables the power rear seat controls for the rear passengers. Also, if you tilt the sunroof and do not open the sunroof shade, it automatically opens.

I don't know if this is considered a hidden feature or just some whacked out electronics...

Yesterday as I was leaving my house, I noticed that my drivers side angel eyes were on and the turn signal blinkers (which was just on, not blinking) were on too. My X5 engine was off and no key in the ignition. I didn't even leave my light left on by accident. When I started her up, I guess I must have hit the turning signal left before I turned her off cause the left signal went on. I just simply put the turning signal lever back to the middle setting and all back to normal. Strange...

YES, this is by design; when you park on a narrow street at night it acts like a parking light but just on one side, to save battery life!
