great find, MRV99!

That's in the manual.

As is most of this other stuff, if not all of it. Some of you guys really should take a look at the manual. Not only is this stuff documented but so is driving in the snow and DCT related things. Also many many other things like locations of specific items that come with the vehicle such as emergency first aid kit etc...since they seem to move that in every damn car they make.

Sorry to revive an old thread - but hopefully this triggers some people to read the manual a bit more and maybe some new and/or hidden features to be revealed.

Anyone?

thanks, dad.

mods, please delete 70+% of the threads in this forum since most of what's discussed here can be found in the manual or on the bmw website.

Out of the...5-10 people who have replied since I bumped this thread, you're the only one to have a problem. Relax, chief.

What are you talking about? I bumped the thread to promote conversation. That's what a forum thrives on - conversation and discussion. You tried to make fun of me, I told you to calm yourself since you made yourself look like an idiot.

I'm the one trying to get this thread going again, so what's your problem? I never said or implied that I was against stickying this thread.

In period of time I've been a member (less than a month) I have over triple the post count you have. Come on, man.

i replied to this thread back in august by complimenting a post that revealed a feature i was unaware of (the point of this thread) and you quoted me >4 months later with an admonishment to "read the manual."

if you were trying to get this thread going again, why did you state "Sorry to revive an old thread - but hopefully this triggers some people to read the manual..."?

what does post count have to do with anything?

Again, I ask, what are you talking about?

I said that I hope people read the manual. Period. Given this thread's title is "Cool Hidden Features of the E70 many dont know about" when almost all of the stuff in here so far IS IN THE MANUAL, I want some "cool hidden" stuff.

I want to click a thread and read though 8 pages and find at least one or two things that are useful that I haven't already read in my manual.

Is this a pissing match that we don't even know what we're pissing over? You implied that people disagreed with me earlier....disagreed about what? You claim that 70+ replies to this thread "say otherwise" - otherwise to what?!
