But I can't say that I have seen many threads lately that made me think "read the manual"
I actually downloaded the manual and read it BEFORE I picked up the car. Only slightly anal about reading car manuals. LOL

Ha!!@me being the only one without an owner's manual.



At least I have an excuse.

But it is fun finding out things on my own.

If nothing else works.......read the manual
To be honest, I downloaded a pdf manual from here somewhere and read it just after I got the car, but that's almost 4 years ago....But if I need something, forum search/google's faster

Have a nice day!

You may already know this, but you can view and download the entire manual free of charge on BMW USA website.
