RTFM

It seems that at least half of the postings on this forum ask questions that could be answered fully in a minute if you would just read the owner's manual. If you haven't read it you should because asking such simple questions gives the impression you simply don't know anything about cars and probably shouldn't be driving a car like a BMW.

Unfotunately it's money, not literacy, which is the main pre-requisite for purchasing a BMW.

Just don't answer the questions you feel are self answerable. Not everybody wants to take the time to read the manual for the 39 months they will borrow the car from a dealer.

It certainly makes sense to me that if you're only going to have the car for 39 months you couldn't be bothered to take the time to read the manual. It shows that you're a far superior driver to be fumbling with controls you don't understand when driving at high speeds on a busy freeway at rush hour. Just stay away from me when you're on the road.
