The fan will run for about 15 minutes or as long as the engine has enough residual heat to heat the cabin.

what is this touch senstive thing? I don't get it. You can actually see which button does on the i drive? confused...

the memory buttons below the CD drive, there are 6 of them and they are touch sensitive. You should consider actually reading the manual - i know a lot of people don't bother but if you do have time, not a bad idea.

Your client advisor should have gone over this feature with you when you took delivery. You can store radio stations, phone numbers or navigation address's(as long as your car has nav).

I have a couple of questions. What is "Auto Holding"? Also, what is the "Engine Brake"? I have read through a lot of the owners manual, but I don't remember those terms. I also did a search on the PDF version of the Manual but can't find them either.

Thanks very much.

OK. I just went back and re-read parts of the Manual. I found the parts about Automatic Hold. I also re-read everything about the Parking Brake. I guess when you said "Engine Brake" you were talking about the fact that the Parking Brake acts differently depending on weather the car is running or not. When the engine is off, the Parking Brake is activated using some kind of an elecro-mechanical lock to the drivetrain/engine and when the engine is running, the Parking Brake uses the regular braking system.

I think the e53 had this too, but for some reason I just discovered it on the e70. Maybe because we had such a miserable winter this year...

Besides having this feature on the e70 we also have it on our e90. It's nice to have in winter wx.

all cars with a "joystick" automatically shit to park if you open the door and do not have your foot on the break.
