The idrive is a pad you can write on for destinations, routes, etc, the kick module is always located on the left which gives it a more successful rate. You can add shortcuts to the 12345678 preset button mapping near vents. You can use sport mode with comfort/ air suspension support dampening on the 7 series. Make sure you turn off auto hold while going into car wash on rails. You can manually adjust the headrest and mold it in the shape of your head in the 7 series 2016-. Auto start and auto off could potentially shorten your battery or even cut off the car.

This isn't a hybrid car, but to increase efficiency, the car only engages the alternator when you are slowing down to charge the battery. This way you are not taking any of the energy from the engine when it can be driving the wheels etc.

I got one for you guys, is there a way to put the car from nuetral to drive without pressing the brake to enter drive mode? I know the car can do this if it rolling at about 5mph or over, but anything less and you have to press the brake to shift from N to D. The reason I ask this is because of those automated car washes, where the machine moves your car through the car wash in neutral.

It's a safety feature so I highly doubt there would be something to override it, unless you actually disable the switch that triggers this. I just tap the brake as I shift into drive, never had issues with this. Thanks for watching!

It’s an option in the iDrive called Sports Displays. I’m not sure if all cars have it. It’s under vehicle info menu

Depends on your model but it has to be coded on certain ones , I have mine coded so that it displays power and torque and then I also coded it so that it shows horsepower 4 power instead of kilowatts and ft lbs for torque instead of Newton metres

I purchased a used bmw 535i 2011, and this model should have the feature of hands free trunk access. I tried that several times, and it never worked with me. Can you advise what could be a reason? or how can I troubleshoot this issue and fix it?
@SimpleCarGuy
@SimpleCarGuy 4 года назад
I believe the hands free trunk access is only available on the LCI (2014+) version of the car.

Stands for Life Cycle Impulse, it’s when BMW makes some changes to the car without fully redesigning. On these cars it’s cars from 2014-2016.

You can hold down the lock button and it closes all the windows (if open) and folds the mirrors

@LexifyGamer I know they pay three to four times more overseas not including tax. Auctions for dealerships these days are only online no more live auctions as usual. So prices hit rock bottom. I have been helping customers buy cars straight from the auctions online and they save so much money its crazy.

True! My buddy bought a 550 gt for $6500. Had to replace two injectors and a really good cleaning. Dealer auctions are great, but can be super risky.
