Question Going to an indy shop to have some personal settings taken care of... what to choose?
Along with recalibrating the ride height of my 4.8is, I am going to have the X5 set up to my taste.

I know you can change things like memory seat/keys, automatic door lock/unlock, lights/horn/beeps, etc.

Is there a full list of all of the options available?

Any particular options that you enjoy personally?

Just want to have my bearings before going into the shop in a couple of hours.

Thanks!

Any particular reason that you want to pay a shop to go through the settings you could find yourself by playing with iDrive for 15 minutes?

Yes when said vehicle has no iDrive. Check forum?

But the iDrive is SO complicated

Awesome! Thanks for the link.

I was also hoping to get some more "grey area" ideas, like automatic window roll-up, possibly deactivating the horrendously annoying seat belt chime (I'm just using the ATM G&*^$#@*&%$!!!) and other such things if they are even possible.

i can deactive the seat belt chime and remote window closing. your indy will not be able to do that.

My indy is not a normal indy

He was able to activate remote window closing and take care of the seat belt chime for me. Also changed the doors to unlock all at once, and some other little things.

Lowered the X, it looks really good, although I think the softer effective spring rate made the ride a bit bouncy
