God is in the details - which ones have you noticed on your E90?

Push start button twice? I only have to push it once...without starting the engine....and I can close my sunroof and windows.

LEDZEP · 10-08-2005, 12:05 PM

Not mine. I've tried many times.

Does this require ZPP, or just power seats? in other words, since I'm getting a 330 without ZPP (but power seats are standard), will my mirrors fold down in reverse?

Yes.

If you have a 325i with power seats or the premium package
or if you have a 330i (comes standard with power seats), it will do it.

thanks nikki. Not sure why, but I'm excited about YOU getting your car as much as me getting mine.

Broken - Can you explain this one more?

Yes we do. In the two pictures below:
- The first picture shows the button with a tiny light above the Owners Manual. That button must be pressed to release the Towbar. You press this button to extend or fold the Towbar.

- On the second picture, that's how the Towbar is positioned in the "released state". Once released, you can either extend it fully or push it back under the car.

- The electric bit of the Towbar occurs when you release it. Once released, you have to manually push or pull to the desired position.

- Also, while the Towbar is released, there is an ongoing (read annoying

) chime that will only stop once you have put the Towbar fully out or fully in.

The Towbar can only be operated if the engine is off.

Anyone on the East Cost USA today has noticed that it's been raining non stop. I had to do a lot of errands today and notice that the way the front doors are designed, the top part curves in so barely any rain get's on the inside of the door. Not sure it it was done intentionally, but it's a great design.

LEDZEP · 10-09-2005, 06:13 AM

You take your car out in the rain? Just kidding. Welcome!

That is awesome. Why don't we have that in the US, along with clear corner option, M-sport package option...I could go on and on...

Is that a insect stuck in the bumper or summit

Is it me, or does the tow hook just look wrong?!?!?

davinet78 · 10-11-2005, 07:02 AM

i think it would have to be the extra boot space due to the runflat tyres

The picture in the earlier post shows the Towbar in its position after pressing the "release button". From that position, you have to either push it back in or pull it out. While in that position, there is a constant chime reminding you to put the Towbar into position.

- The first picture below shows the Towbar fully extended.

- The second picture below shows the car with the Towbar folded into its place under the car.

Just got my 330i, is there like on US cars a Ignition Auxillary position to play the radio/CD while I clean the car? I notice the power turns off after a few minutes.

For non-Idrive systems, click on the music note button. Where you get access to the balance, fader, eq etc. Scroll to the right and there is an option for Speed sensitivity and how sensitive you want it. I don't know the appreviation of hand, but its pretty obvious. Right next to the Logic 7 vs Music check mark options.

Your dealer didn't give you the bag of weed when you picked up your car?
