Turn off the car, hit the button TWICE?
good afternoon...
once again, first BMW coming from Audio and MB world. my 2014 X4 push button works great however a bit confused on shutting down the car. Do I always have to push the button twice? Hitting it the first time will turn off the engine but radio/nav still on hitting it again second time will off the radio is this normal? I googled and few people told me to hold the button down for 2 seconds (didn't work, makes no difference). Or just walk out, close the door and lock it. Once it locks, it will turn everything off. confused

You could also code the car to turn the iDrive off after you open the driver's door to exit the vehicle.

I didn't like it at first. I was used to all of my previous BMW's that you could just hit once and hold for a second or two and everything would shut off. (This is why your google search came up with that.... that's how it used to be). But, like most change, I've gotten used to it. If I'm anywhere but home, I don't worry about it 'cause I'm going to lock it anyway, which shuts everything down. In my garage however, I don't lock it so it was kind of irritating at first, but I usually remember to hit it twice now. But even if I don't, I know it's going to time out and shut down on it's own in a few minutes. I still don't like it, but not a big deal.

I recently switched to BMW from MB and this is one thing i just don't understand. I also noticed if don't press the button twice or lock the door my phone stays connected to the car till the iDrive shuts down. I guess i have to looking into coding the car to turn the iDrive off after you open the driver's door to exit the vehicle.

You'll get used to it eventually. It's not that big a deal to push the button twice.
The harder part is figuring out what to do when you pull up to a drive in ATM or something and the auto stop turns off the engine. I never remember how many times I need to press the button. |

Step 1. Push the button once which shuts off the engine..
Step 2. Get out of the vehicle. Step 3. Press lock button on keyfob or if you have comfort access press the ridges on the door handle to lock the car. Everything shuts down. PS: you do NOT have to press the button twice.

As said above, you'll get used to the "two press".

is it really that difficult to understand how to shut down the car?
Push 1 turns off motor. At this point, you can turn off electricals be either locking the car or pushing the button again.

I HATE these people... I just feel like people in this area ( NY/NJ ) just don't understand what the left lane is for because they drive so freakin slow in the left lane and either don't seem to look back behind them to see if they are holding up traffic or are just asses.

I have seen plenty of drive-up ATM machines and parking pay station gates with island curbs that stick out so far you are forced to open your door if you don't want to curb your rims.
