So my 6 is manual, and I was on an incline at a stop sign. My previous cars, when I'd hit the clutch the car would roll back on inclines.....however the 6 has a feature where it won't roll back right away but will after 5 seconds. Definitely a great feature and was impressed!
This function is called Homelights or Pathway lighting. You can also code the car to allow you enable this feature via the remote bootlid release button on your key fob. Like this on my car:
I found out yesterday that the little plug that goes into the flashlight socket in the glovebox and creates an extra 12 volt input... continues to operate when the car is turned off, unlike the one in the ashtray that turns off with the ignition.

Make sure you check the compartment in the rear of the console. The cupholder is stored there. I thought mine was missing also but accidentally found it.
Is there a way to turn back bumper lights on? Do they come on with the fog lights or under hard breaking? Do they come on at all?
Ps: I'm talking ability the lights by the reverse lights..
I have learned "If you paint it, they will come"... out of all the custom cars I have ever owned, past and present... this car gets the most attention. From pictures at gas stations to the random cars pulling up next
to me on the highway with thumbs up I get a lot of attention. There has also been a situation where a lady tracked me down and googled me and my company because she saw my car and personalized plate on the highway and decided to 'tweet' about it...smh! On another note, I feel stupid for just finding this out but I did not know my key stored my settings in the car... I grabbed my spare key for the 6 because I hadn't used it since I bought the car last summer, I wanted to make sure the batt was charged and just warmed the car up. All my setting...mirror, seat, air all changed once I cranked the car up but I didn't think much of it. Since that key is on the same chain as my benz I turned the car off and got in the benz since I was going to wash it, 30 mins later I turn the BMW on with main Key and notice my settings returned to original!!! Wow now if I was generous enough to share with my boo she could have her own key and settings lol.
Not sure if all models do this (mine is a 2010), but I think it's great that when I move the seat back forward (as if someone were getting in the back seat) it allows the entire seat to lift up about 6 inches. Makes vacuuming a pleasure! I'm very meticulous about keeping her clean.
What a great thread! I've learned lots of great things.
as a 10 day owner, i have discovered a few things:
1. im so glad i didnt buy an e350 coupe instead
2. i love to drive fast
3. Men get irritated when they see a woman in a 650 flashing the highbeams behind them to get the F&^* out of my way
hehe
