Yes, did this with my very first car, a 97 Nissan Sentra SE. Not exactly a stallion with its 115hp! I could also peel out in 4th gear! That car took a beating in Santa Rosa, CA...

Boot lock button in the glove box. Only recently noticed this when I was a passenger in my own car. Must be part of the Kidnapper Pack.

The thing I've found with this thread and this 1M forum general is ... there's always someone wants the last word, someone who thinks he is more knowledgeable or more correct, someone who just want to put somebody else down etc etc.
Who gives a toss how many bimmers we have owned or driven or whether a simple little feature have existed for 100 years or found in 50 other cars, this is Artemis saying he's enjoying his 1M for these features. That's all it matters ffs. |

The fact that I did not know despite more than 20 years of driving manuals says something about caring for the car: avoiding to stall the engine. So, I guess I pushed the clutch thousands of times while it was unnecessary (especially queuing in traffic, parking lots, etc.). When you learn to drive a car it's one of the things they won't tell you. Stalling the engine is a bit embarrassing. I ain't the only one who was not aware, for sure.

Go make a new thread to tell the world how much you enjoy your new bimmer. Who gives a toss? If that was the case, the title is misleading at best. You want me to pollute this thread with every single little thing I find amusing in my bimmer? |

Nonetheless just chill, wasn't and never intended to be a personal attack on you mate. Reading the thread, I used the word 'we' and not 'you'. My bad if it rubbed the wrong way. |

Hi all,
I live in Houston and find the Parked Car vent one of the coolest hidden gems. It circulates the air in the car for 30 mins to help keep the interior cooler. This might be on other models, not sure as this is my first Bimmer. Here is a quick reference on how to get to it and set it with the manual page numbers. Menu Settings Climate Set the time you estimate being back at the car and cheek the box Check activate parked car vent Pages 109-110 in US manual. Marc |

I seen that in settings and never got about to reading what it all meant, and then forgot about it, so thanks, no need to read the manual, but saying that I live in the UK so I don't think I will ever require that function lol but good to know...... |

When I took delivery of my 1M the dealership showed me that option too, but told me to be cautious with the use of it, because it inevitably drains the battery (engine is shut down, so no recharging). Personally I never used it.
