Here's a quick one that many of you might already know but here goes! You can set your M1 & M2 buttons through settings in iDrive but you can also set the car up the way you want and simply hold the M1 or M2 button down until you hear a beep. Its a lot easier then digging through settings to get it done.

I discovered tonight that the car horn will honk twice if you don't have it in P and try to lock the doors from the outside.
I think my M3 also did this but I don't remember.

Did you know that the Speed Limit info is actually gathered from a forward facing camera that reads speed limit signs?
You would think the data is stored in the nav, but its not. pay close attention next time you are driving through a school zone and you will notice the speed limit info changes precisely after you pass the sign with the reduced limit. |

If you hold the unlock button on the remote it opens your windows. If you press the alarm button for a few seconds the lights come on, if you keep your hand on the door handle it opens or closes your windows.
That there is a 5 dvd disc player in the glove compartment. I had to pull the plastic down to reveal it.

The camera uses shape recognition (it can't "read" numbers), so the database has corresponding shapes to US and international speed limit signs for many variations, like 25, 35, 40, 55, 65 MPH, etc. If it can't get a good read, it defaults to navigation data. Sometimes one or both could be wrong. It's not foolproof. That is why you have eyes.

Dont remember the ability to do that with the remote on the e92 M3. Thanks for that.

Make into a sticky?
Jason, I don't know if you have the time or the ability to do this, but this is an interesting thread with some good tips that many of us might not discover for months, or ever, and it would be nice to have just the pertinent posts that point us to features or shortcuts listed in a sticky. Doable?
