I've always been of the impression from friends that IBMs tend to be fairly hard wearing but am not a personal fan of their design cues.

Wiper activate

I have a 2002 X and I'm pretty sure you can also flip the adjustment dial up one notch then back. I find it easier than nudging the stalk up and down.
Now that makes me sound excessively lazy! ;)

How does one go about resetting their transmission? As it would also be useful on a second hand X5? Or does this thing constantly adjust and already has no recollection of the previous owner?

Funky coloured dots

I completely agree with this. The selected numbers have little effect in comparison to my previous Volvo V40. Lucky that those red and blue dots work so well.

I'm also really fussy about keeping...
