I could be wrong. But I think the "? ( ! )? " button definatley has something to do with tire pressure, its the same tire pressure logo from the instruments of my last car, a 330xi . Either a reset button or a tire deflation button for track racing?

The "arrow up" ? no idea? someone said it was RPG... what is heck is that?
Is it possibly the 'rear window sunshade' button?

the '? P/// ' button is for sure the park distance control.

cheers!?

I think RPG was a joke about "Rocket Propelled Grenades."

The rear window sunshade button is on the driver's door now.

The button still remains a mystery, I think...

Not a mystery anymore. On a better pic you can see it is showing a seat!
It is the M Multiconture seats. They inflate and deflate the side bolsters automatically when you drive, and this is their on/off switch.

As you can see, it is a seat with a head rest and arrows pointing to the side bolsters. Three settings, as you can see by the three LED's above it.

I thought it was the active side bolster so when you make turns it moves in to hug you and keep you in position more.
