Things you didnt know about your 3 series.
I learned a lot from this topic on the M3 forum.. Anyways just post a fun fact about the car.
The reset button on the A/C when pressed after the car is off will use residual heat from the engine to keep the car warm. It really helps out in the winter when you have to make a 20-30 min stop inside a place. |

Im sure it has been on this forum in the past, but I just discovered by trial and error that with cruise control on, you can push the clutch in----engine rpms lower, and then you can shift back into gear....and cruise resumes...
The 04 acura tl I had would cancel cruise when the clutch was pushed in. I like it! |

That's what the guy said... just like he didn't read the button right, you didn't read his post right... let me restate for him: "when pressed after the car is off will use residual heat from the engine to keep the car warm." RESIDUAL HEAT. he said it. |

How about this:
Get inside the car, close the doors and push the lock button on your key fob. All doors will be locked. Now bring the fob close to the key slot and the doors will unlock. |

Press the fold button (to fold) of your side mirrors before driving. At the speed of 25MPH it resets back to open position.

When you've turned your wipers on and then stop the vehicle in traffic, the wipers stop as well.

You can't unlatch the trunk/boot with the second key while the engine is running.
