Mine told me to bring it in and they'd take a day to adjust it. Maybe only in Germany

You have an LCI. Yours already only has the AE's running in the daytime.

Enabling / disabling the angel eyes when the main lights are off is one of the adjustment settings on the steering wheel control stalk.

I'd rather my bolts on my car be happy.

Your car wouldn't have blue bolts if you brought it to the track regularly instead of teasing it with some quick drives on the public roads - it needs a release

sad thing is, the freakin buttons right there in your face! i cant believe i never really tried that button until i was just sitting in the car. holding the button, i heard something was moving but didnt feel anything. i thought the chair was broken and wasnt moving. then i felt the side bolsters squeezing and was SHOCKED. LOL NICE i love them!
except when you extend them out, they sound weird, like theyre releasing air...a "tisssssss" noise

The seats are pneumatically driven, at least from what i've seen.

The taillights will turn on automatically via ambient light sensor even if the headlights are in the off position.

[JIM E92]

Headlights can be activated when the car is off key is out of ignition and headlight switch is in off position. Just push forward on the stalk like you are turning on high beams.

Pathway lighting, right? Or is this something different. I never use pathway lighting, but you can set the interval for how long the lights stay on via iDrive and probably the BC stalk.

This is some great stuff!

So true.

I speed up and prevent them from getting in front of me

if the car is running and you push the trunk release, then you get out and close the door, it will automatically re-lock the trunk. It took me like 3 attempts to open the trunk before i realized i have to leave the door open. haha.

If you have a 6sp manual, and are stopped on a hill, the vehicle automatically applies the brakes before engaging in first gear to avoid the dreaded 'slide back' into the car behind you.

this is also true for automatics. Atleast it does this on my 09.

Looks like BMW added this feature so that if you accidentally hit the eject button when leaving the car your cd won't be sticking out and possibly break if you hit it (causing damage to the cd player).

Yes, but before the stealership did my upgrade on the cd i could leave the cd hanging while I listen to the radio, now I have to take out the cd to listen to the radio, STUCKS!

I found out today, locking the doors also locks the gas cap. I was wondering why the hell it wouldn't pop open, then I realized that the Germans are brilliant.

What options do you need for the mirrors to tilt down when shifting to reverse?

I have a fully loaded car, but it's only the right hand mirror that turns down ( US Spec). I'd imagine other countries it could be different.
