Another cool feature and part of the cold weather pack (I believe was just a piece of coding) is the cabin warm up. This allows you to start the car with the key in the ignition port, switch it off and then within 45secs restart the car without the key in the ignition port. This means that you can turn your heaters on, walk away and lock the car while it warms up/defrosts or whatever...pretty cool if the car sits within your sight i.e. on your drive.

It was the package that included heated seats, ski bag and headlights washers, I was replying to someone who thought the REST button was maybe a part of that package. Unfortunately not, I would much prefer to have REST than MAX (Which I never use since when it is very hot the AC blows to the maximum until the interior is at comfortable temperature)

IIRC, on my '99 E46, position 0 was everything off and position 1 was ignition on, but motor not started (accessory position). This is equivalent to what BMW calls "Radio Readyness" which results from briefly pushing the Start button without starting the engine. And since the 2011 online manual says nothing about "Residual Heat", it seems that feature has been dropped in favor of the ganged dual temperature control (the All button). Tom |

Here's another something about 1's you might not have noticed. If you order the car with the Premium Package you get a heated steering wheel. If you order the car with the M Sport Package you get the fat M Sport steering wheel. If you get both packages together, you get the unheated M Sport wheel but are still charged the full cost of both packages - there is no adjustment for the deleted heated wheel.

after a track run?
I would think the REST button could be used to more quickly cool down the engine after a track run (obviously keeping windows down). Perhaps also after pulling off the interstate & immediately into a rest stop.
One thing I did not read is if/when this system eventually turns itself off. |

Funny, I was just thinking about how I'd have to look this up - I knew about the feature but wasn't sure how to use it! Thanks for this timely tidbit!

mine is 2010 and it says Max, but I remember reading in the manual (with iDrive) page 94 something about ventilation after parking the car.

It was around 50 degrees here this morning, maybe not cold enough?

Great feature that I've used countless times while waiting in my car for work to start. With the cold NY winters and ridiculous traffic in the mornings, I often arrive to work a half an hour early and have the option of:
A) Turning the car off and sitting in a gradually freezing car. B) Leave the engine running for the heat and wasting 30 minutes of idle fuel. or C) Utilizing the "Rest" feature and legitimately being able to stay comfortable for the majority of the wait without wasting fuel by leaving the car at idle. Your satisfaction will vary, and some people will always find a reason to complain. It's a free feature, and if you discover a use for it, all the better. |
