In the idrive menu there are 2 times for automatic ventillation. When i set it up is the mornings, i presume hot air is blown into the cabin? Will it turn off by itself or do i have to turn it off?

On the continent there's an option for an auxilary heater. That's controlled from the same menu to heat the car in the morning. I tried to get it retrofitted but they won't do it..

I like this feature alot. I use it every day. My only gripe with it is that you have to set it every day. It won't remember the setting. Well, it remembers the time but unchecks to box. I wish it always stayed checked.

That means, ventilation is not heating up the interior. Just ventilation...

I don't understand why BMW is not allowing US customers to add options to the cars/packages.
I don't think it's a good idea to only sell packages.
It would be better if they offer packages AND let everybody chose additional options if they want them.
