I am just sharing my findings with the group here, not going to go in here and ZOMG tell you how my turboe'd bimmer is better than every car on the forum.

No, I have enough self preservational instinct to realize that the gf is not going to want her brand new car fooked with. Some tintz and maybe hardwire a radar detector setup, but that's gonna be about it.

I think the BMW turn signals are a bitch... I am not 100% sure on how to use em... There is no click they are always fking on... till you flick em the other way. I am sure I am just flicking it too hard or whatever but I am not sure why BMW decided to make it more complicated than it needs to be.Johnny_P wrote:Without turn signalsDesertbreh wrote:

My car is missing the driver assistance package doe; No laser cruise control and lane keep assist. I also don't have a rear sunshade.
So pretty much poverty spec.
I would trade the retarded HUD for some tires though. to satisfy my cutting off urges.

I just don't get why they did that... a simple click on and click off worked for 50+ years... but they decided to fuck with it. Next thing you know they'll switch the location of the gas and brake pedal[user not found] wrote:Easy there, Massleman.maxtdi wrote:

Bump it lightly in either direction, it signals 3 times and goes off.
Bump it past the hump (slowly pull the stalk up or down, you'll feel the resistance) and it'll stay on. Flick it lightly in the opposite direction to cancel.

Wait, it doesn't self-cancel after you complete a turn?[user not found] wrote:Easy there, Massleman.maxtdi wrote:

3 blink is what i use 90% of the time... when switching lanes. Once I get more seat time I'll report back... I am so antsy to finally start doing this. Damn golf is still here for another day... then it is[user not found] wrote:It actually works really well once you get used to it.maxtdi wrote:

It's not any different than how your Coal Yaris functioned, minus the fact that the stalk doesn't stay down or up. Unless of course, you never realized that your car had the option to do a 3-blink signal.

BMW also fucked with this...[user not found] wrote:It does.wap wrote: Wait, it doesn't self-cancel after you complete a turn?
Max is doing the typical customer thing where they slap the signal stalk around and get all about it.
To go reverse you push the button ON THE SIDE and PUSH IT FORWARD.
To go into drive... you push button on the side and PULL IT BACK
To go into PARK you click on the P
I got used to it fairly quickly, but it is unlike all the other cars.
PRNDL was too straight forward I suppose.

I drove one of those once a couple years ago in an ex-coworkers M3. It was weird.[user not found] wrote:Ze germans wanted something that was easier to sit on.maxtdi wrote:

Still gotta play with it some more... not sure about Nav, as it is mostly pointless since I know where I am going around here. I want to show things like car info/music not sure if I can make it that way.[user not found] wrote:Depends on what you want the split screen to show. You can have it show coordinates, next nav instruction, current music playback, or a few other things.maxtdi wrote:Literally just a whole lotta
I also gotta figure out I drive and the whole SPLIT screen feature which seems to be more of a gimmick than help.
Do any of those things interest you?
