Here is another trick that I don't think any of you know about...

1) Stand behind car
2) Tap the BMW logo on your key 3 times
3) Kiss the BMW logo on your key ONCE
4) Spin around 3 times, while looking up at the sky towards god.

5) Open your trunk manually and WHA-LA!

A beautiful blonde, with every perfect feature you've ever dreamed of should appear.

If it doesn't work the first time, repeat immediately.

PS - This trick only works in very crowded parking lots with a lot of people around.

This is BS ...... I got a red head !!

Redhead is the default on Canadian models.......you will have to get the dealer to re-program to get a blonde.

I'm with Rudy on this one. Even though bardel is right and "at" 5 mph increments is tecnically correct, I bet 80% of people who read it will assume that it means going up/down from the current speed by 5 mph. So in the interest of clarity I would have explained it in a longer sentence like Rudy did.
I like the way you think there rody...sick minds think alike!

Not on all cars though -- it depends on the options you have.

My 2004 car had the "compartment" there but my 2008 car does not...
From what I understood, the compartment is only present if the car has Logic 7. My old 2005 535d did not have the compartment, but my 2007 M5 does. The bigger logic 7 amp means the panel is a slightly different shape creating a empty space below. The empty space was put to use creating the storage compartment.

With the ignition off, press the trip counter reset knob and the time, temp, and odometer will be displayed briefly.

Here's a neat one:

If you stick your key in the keyhole in the door then turn it, you can open the door without having to use the remote.
