Cool Hidden Features of the E70 many dont know about

[RougeTrooper]

I found this link below from the E53 forum while trying to figure out what the triangle with the snow flake warning lamp I got this morning was all about. Temp dropped below 3C/37F and it was just a warning telling me to watch out for road ice and kicking in the rear and side mirror defrosters. (it was also in the manual-no picture of the lamp symbol with the snow flake though)

Found a LOT of info in that link, some I could try (had tried) out that was passed on to the E70, below some C+P from the link:
