Hears a neat trick I like.
If you have been driving (or parked with the light switch being in auto mode) and the exterior lights aluminated.
Sometimes you need outside lights after parking and locking up your car.
Pull the indicator paddle towards you once and the exterior lights will come back on again giving you 30secs of lights to direct you up the garden path, country road etc.

Great idea. However, it should be limited to "tips" which are not described in the manual.

I've heard this is a very common request amongst law enforcement and mob guys...
Possible Solution: Use the Child Proof Lock, so the doors can only be opened from the outside...

I have comfort seats, that close in around your torso when the car is started, but does not,....(as far as I know) have the dynamic bolster function found in the M5. However, when I drive the car, I get the feeling of very subtle adjustments taking place with the side bolsters.....am I mad??

I thought it was only me.... I get the same feeling too! Sometimes it even feels like the seat heaters are on, at a very very low level even though I've not turned them on.

I know for a fact that sometimes the thigh extenders creep back into the seat slightly. It's really bizarre, but this happened on my E39 as well.
It could be that blonde that pops out from you trunk, per my earlier post about the other trick I learned. Anyone try it yet?
