My Ride: 2006 535d Sport
Stupid but hey, i'm trying to contribute:
-I rename my cellphone to catch phrases so when bluetooth connects and I'm under the communications tab, it'll display that phrase. Keep it under 8 characters.
-Probably already known, but when you highlight a station, selecting RDS will enable station information/songs to be displayed.
-I always leave the rear armrest down. Why? 2 more cupholders.

My Ride: 550i sport with the works!
An item I stumbled across while reading the manual (yeah, I'm that crazy) that hasn't been brought up yet...
If you shut off the engine and then spin the fan speed adjustment knob, it will kick on the fan for a while after the car is shut off. This is much like the after run fan setting found under the comfort and climate section of i-drive, but the manual says it is specific to maintaining the temperature in the cabin during short stops. Honestly, I use it after I've picked up lunch so my car doesn't smell like Thai food when I next get in it.
For those playing at home, it's on page 117, under the title "Residual Heat".

Close the windows using the old car key
Same trick for opening, just hold the Open button depressed.

You can activate the Euro "all windows up" locking feature with Carly for BMW coding feature -- for those who are not able to code it other ways.
