2009 ashtray

fireman02169 · 05-07-2015, 04:36 PM

So ive seen some discussion about 2009 e9x cars not coming with an astray so i took a pic of mine. My car also came with a heated sport wheel with paddles which is also apparently a rare option. On top of that, its in tasman green. It also has what my 6 year old cslls "the duck button", between the seat heat buttons. Rare for sure, Im sitting on a future collectible!

= hill descent

I believe the ix models came with that option/feature.

QUACK!

I totally see the duck on that icon now. And I can't unsee it.

I have an 07 with an ashtray. You can swap it out for the full sunglass holder, but you lose the 12v.

+1 Correct, have this on my 09 xi, along with front & rear ashtrays & normal heated steering wheel with no paddles lol

Heated sport w/ paddles is rare/different

pretty sure every x-drive has hill decent control. Hell even my e46 330Xi had it...and my daughter called it the duck button too. It works well. Steep descents with minimal traction. you basically set the speed (under 15 i believe, hit the button and thats your speed) and it maintains that speed, applying brakes individually to maintain the speed and stability of the car. Think super steep snow covered hill with sharp bends, like a driveway, or a couple roads in Manchester i tested it on. Boarder line gimmicky, but hey, it did its job.
