Re: the vent. Is this just if you have Nav to control? Not sure where I would be able to select this.

This one was discovered by forum fellow Tom303 (http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showpost.php?p=12850245): a hidden storage area under the trunk felt pad above the battery compartment.
Forum fellow Derek8819 pointed out that, on former 1ers, this space was used for installation of add-on modules (such as SATNAV and Bluetooth). In the 1M these devices, if chosen as option, are installed in the head unit. Hence, consider it as the fringe benefit of a secret pocket (which is eventually related to the 'drone sound' syndrome).

Thought that the "Satellite images" feature was not operational in my SatNav version. Tried it the first days after haven taken delivery but noticed no map layout change.
However, found out that that feature is definitely operational on our SatNavs: you got to set the map scale to at least 2km/1mile. Nice look and feel and more pleasant during drives in the dark. When navigation map is showing:
------------------ "Satellite images" Depending on the availability and resolution, satellite images are displayed in scales of approx. 1 mile to 600 miles / 2 km to 1,000 km. ------------------

No 1M only hidden gem, but those with the BMW SATNAV might not be aware of this feature: the SATNAV contains several pre-programmed journeys, called "Guided Tour".
Just select the tour you like and you're ready to go. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=899333

Ok. So anyone notice (NA Cars) that when you turn the turn signal on it also lights up the city light on the interior headlight (of which the turn signal is on) for about 5 seconds and then it turns off? I never noticed it until about two weeks ago....
Also do your trunk lid buttons work on your remotes? Cause mine don't...maybe I have the valet switch off in the glove box? |

edit: on the car not stalling in first: this is due to there not being a lot of torque required to keep the car moving. As has been aptly noted, each time you select a higher gear to try this with, it gets tougher. The minimum required amount of torque at idle rpm keeps growing for each subsequent gear you pick. Car can't deliver that torque = you stall. If your car doesnt do this, it will also be a pain to simply get moving from a standstill, which is exactly what 1st gear is for and why it does it so well Not trying to have a last word here but instead give a tiny bit of insight on the actual mechanics behind it Last edited by serial`; 12-15-2013 at 07:42 PM.. |

In 1Ms featuring CIC (Car Infotainment Computer) the glovebox features a USB port too, to be distinguished from the USB port under the armrest between the front seats:

As indicated earlier, some "Guided Tours" are pre-programmed by BMW into the SATNAV: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=899333
