I believe the microphone for the convertible is on top of the steering column about 2 inches behind the steering wheel. The coupe has it on the mirror.
You're correct - I asked in another thread, and someone commented about it being above the mirror. that prompted me to look in the manual, which said above the mirror.
BUT then today I noticed in the Table of Contents (page 15 in the manual) there's a note saying "Convertible: microphone on the steering column"), so you, my friend, are 100% CORRECT!
I learned that I can plug in my Iphone or old Ipod and play music based on genre, artist or playlist. I always thought that the car would only play songs from playlists and not by artist or genre. I assumed that based on stuf that I read in the past online. I really love the fact that I have full control over my music on my Iphone or ipod. I also like that I can charge my phone without needing a charger.
Because of this forum I learned that even though my car is an 04 it still could be programmed to play MP3's and the Bluetooth could be turned on as well.
I learned that if I hold my hand on the door handle long enough (with comfort access) it will not only lower my moon roof, but it will close the shade too!
After buying my first BMW, a buddy of mine showed me the little emergency flashlight in the glove box. Learning that you could hold the idrive puck in a direction to jump to that screen.
I discovered that the 6 series is crap in snow - it went into a ditch instead of round the corner as I instructed it to do so. I used the voice command & everything.

Here is a dumb one...when I got the car home (didn't have the manual in the car, got it later) I couldn't figure out how to turn the car off. I found out:
1. Comfort access start is a quick tap on the Start button.
2. Tried to shut the car off the same way, brief touch of Start/Stop button, car shuts off but stupid stereo still runs - car is in RADIO MODE
3. Forum board was kind enough to instruct me that you press and HOLD that button to completely shut everything down. Also found out that second tap of button turns it off.
Well I had the manual and after an '06 for a year and an '07 vert for two I discovered that holding the button down turned off the car and the radio. I still find it faster though to double tap it as I had initially assumed was the only way.
Well I got curious today, there is a medical bag in the ski bag area and I took the cup holder out of the glove box and put it in the rear compartment area.
Thanks to all for the information.
