Thumbs down No autotailgate for early 2008's
Dealer just called to confirm '08 production begins 10/1 but there will be NO autotailgate option. What can't BMW figure out that every other manufacturer has?

I think you can push a button while the engine is shut off and get heat for about 30 minutes. I've had it on other BMW's I've owned. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Please see page 105 in your owners manual.

Residual Heat - The heat stored in the engine is used to heat the passenger compartment while stopped.

Pressing the right side switches on the residual heat utilization when the following conditions are met:

o up to 15 minutes after switching off the engine
o with the engine at operating temperature
o with sufficient battery voltage
o at an outside temperature below 77 degrees F

This have been indeed a big shame, my car is 11/07 production and I will miss it, sometimes bmw is strange, I had that option on my 2003 E class
and it is 4 years later and bmw can not have it ready yet.
