Welcome to the forums!

What idrive extra options you're talking about?

Extra options must be programmed to the car and that's not an easy task to do. It requires a lot of knowledge and familiarization on the issue. There are threads on the forums about coding.
A hidden menu in a cluster is an easy job to open and use, though. Here's the instructions:

I use the "hidden menu" daily. Mostly to view the engine coolant temps.
