I think I found the rear seat compartment, near the rear cup holders? Very small. I can open and close the top with the fob no problem, it just doesn’t do the mirrors, which doesn’t bother me because I’m rarely in a tight spot I’d need that. Also, the fold down back seat storage area took me by surprise when it was black carpet as others I’d seen were fully carpet matched to the car. I have gray interior and the back side of the fold down, with the pass through is gray carpet like the rest of the car, but the backside of the seat, the part that folds down is black, which is a nice don’t show dirt option. It’s a great area for groceries with the top down. I’ve even used the bag clips so they don’t slide around. Oh, one other thing about the car…you can see where it’s been if you aren’t the original owner and have nav. You can look up the previous drives, my last car even had “home” programmed in so I could’ve driven to its last owner’s local house if I wanted. Last edited by Sparkles; 04-18-2022 at 01:27 AM.. |

I never fold the mirrors due to tight space, it just looks better when parked. LOL. The small holes on the rear passenger inner panels are for the wind deflector. I don’t have one, but heard they help with the top down. 1 thing I hate about the E93 is how short the sun visors are. They hardly block out the sun. They don’t really have a designated area to sit into though, so I’m thinking of putting some E90 visors in it. |

Need a visor I like to wear because I don’t want to wear one. One that clips to sunglasses would be perfect as midday sun gets behind my sunglasses (fitted wrap rx ones). FWP. I do like the nav screen is somewhat viewable though polarized glasses, unlike the e46, so the screen is obviously a bit better. |

HELP!!
hey everyone! I have a 2008 bmw 335xi I was driving one day and all of the sudden my audio completely stopped working. I have checked the fiber optics and they all work up to the front of the car. I have disconnected the battery and let the car reset and checked all the fuses. still no sound and I have zero clue what it could be. I have no sound even with the seatbelts off and if I leave my key in the car. I also charged the battery and it read full because I read the car could have gone into power conservative mode. any info would be greatly appreciated |

It may already be here on the prior 5 pages...
But I just found out my wagon will illuminate the left side only, or right side only, marker lights with the car shut off. Only turns on one rear tail, and the city light inside the highbeam. I thought that was reserved for German market cars. Seems somebody forgot to disable it in the 2005 builds. It's trivial, but a neat feature. I might even use it occasionally just because it's nerdy and cool.

I'm pretty sure all of them have that. It's literally in the US manual, page 112, under "roadside parking lamps".
BTW if you read the manual, you will also find that about 80% of this thread is in there. However for some strange reason not many people like reading the manual when they get a car. |

Owners manual ?!?!?!
It's got three pedals, a wheel and a lever. Those are the important things, and I know how they work... Mostly. The rest is fluff surprises or annoyances.

If you switch your language from US English to UK English it will calculate your miles-per-gallon fuel efficiency based on a UK gallon, which is only about 3/4 the size of a US gallon.

Other way around, a UK gallon is bigger than a US gallon.

If you do have idrive, find the thread that explains how to get the light sensitivity option visible in your cluster, it absolutely is possible. And no it's not only the 3 things he shows on screen in the video, there's another 1 line that you have to enable. |

Secret menu!
I just learned how to access the secret menu to monitor voltage. I could have saved a tow trip had I known about it a few weeks earlier.
