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.

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!

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?

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.
