Vaseline lip therapy of course. Its much much better than the lip therapy holder in the E70/E71. I think we need a thread for "unique and useful things to do with your sunglasses compartment". |

I use it when I leave the car so I have to shut off the engine. After I put the lock on and lock the car then the wheel starts to move again, I quickly open it and then lock it again and then it does not move again. |

My steering wheel moves to its neutral position after I turn off the vehicle (Twice button press). The idea behind steering wheel move is to allow driver to exit comfortably. It would be useless feature if it moved only after driver got out of the vehicle and locked it. I am going to have to test this.

1. Easy entry/exit feature of the steering wheel. The steering wheel column motor is just begging itself to fail, especially since it's a BMW. Can this feature be disabled?
2. No volume, previous, and next (fast forward) button for media near the iDrive controller (a la Audi). I drive with my right hand on the center armrest and it's a distraction/chore to move my hand every time to change the volume, etc. |

2. Totally. Especially now that they moved the buttons to the other side on steering wheel. Now you can use the dial on the steering wheel but you have to make your resting arm work to control those. Otherwise you can keep the iDrive indicator on < or > buttons on screen and just tap on controller to go next/previous, or you would have to use the physical button on radio to go Next/Previous, those buttons (right by Volume Dial) also doubles as fast forward and rewind.. The new steering wheel controller doesn't even have Next/Previous, it annoys me more than it should, something that worked perfectly fine on E70 is broken by terrible design in F15. Adjust yourself and your seat to drive it with steering wheel in "rest" position (or exit position). I think that's the only solution..

This! I sure wish it was a setting or could be coded out. I really dislike having the steering wheel move in and out every time I get in the vehicle. Unnecessary.

Funny.. I love the steering wheel moving out of the way. I missed not having it with my X3 but my old Infiniti's did this and I love it.

1. Wish that the touch pad on the iDrive knob would swipe to go to next track or back a track.
2. Also to increase or decrease volume of you run clock or counterclockwise wise around the ring of the knob. 3. If sport displays also showed more dials and information. (MPH/KPH, Boost, oil temp, tire pressure and temps) All in full screen mode. There are more possibilities within the system that they are not using it to its full capabilities.

But for me, it's just as much about the time it takes for the steering wheel to get into position. Sitting here and wait. Dzzzzzzz until ready. Sometimes, like after a quick gas stop at a gas station or similar, I just would like to push the start button and GO! Good weekend, Bent |

After a week of ownership and 500miles on the car - here's my List:
These are mostly minor (except for DHP issue) and overall I'm really happy with our purchase decision.

The rear window is so easy to get dusted. Not sure if it's caused by the aerodynamic force or something. Or something sticky on the rear window. I have hard time to clean it, and have to clean it every 2-3 days.
