The temp settings\AC are confusing me.

Started my car the other day and I have my temps set lowish (18C), it was 30C outside with my AC and Auto switched off - with these settings I was still getting cold air from the vents which I didn't think would be possible with an ambient temp at 30C and the AC disabled. I had assumed that setting any cold temp would just give you outside air until you told the car that it can use the AC (this is how it has worked for every other car I've ever owned).

Was it in the garage? That may have cooled down the vent system. Also, may have cooled down if the A/C was on when you started the car.

If the A/C and auto was off, it would just be outside ambient temp or heated.

Clown car horn has definitely got to go. I can't imagine a group of engineers sitting around the table saying, "That's a great sounding horn". Will be looking to change this out quickly.

If it’s like other BMW systems, you can tailor the temperature of each vent group. BMW believes in keeping the air aimed at the driver’s upper torso and head cooler to aid in alertness.

The manual is very sparse in describing the settings, but what I’ve underlined here suggest there may be a similar setting that is defaulting to a cooler temperature.

#9 The passenger side mirror tilts so you can see the kerb. The drivers mirror stays put so you can see the traffic behind you. They assume that you will park on the side of the road in the direction you're travelling.

I noticed today that the fuel gauge can be hard to see due to glare/reflection but I was driving in rain so even though it was bright outside the dash may have been dimmed.

Anyone else have an issue with the passenger side window washer arm not going fully back down after use? I have to manually move it down after it comes on.

If you flip the mirror switch to the passenger side (I believe-I guess, wherever you have it now, just flip it as if you want to adjust the other mirror) and the passenger mirror will not lower to the curb.

It’s a handy trick.

Not sure if this counts but oh well

I had a weird clunk in the center console when I was taking sharp turns, it was starting to get a little concerning so I decided to go some test driving... Before I leave I take one reaaaaaaaaaaallll long reach behind the passenger seat and find a second tow hook :hmm:

Doesn't seem to fit into the compartment at the back soooo I guess a 2lbs weight savings...
