I was really surprised how much transferred from my iX BMW Profile to the i5 profile....even the front camera self activating when approaching our driveway, all Sirius XM presets and even in car settings!

So here is the feature I'm talking about. Searched full manual (in addition to the one in iDrive) and nothing on this. I turned if off and comfort exit still worked (and that's a separate setting) so no idea what this does. I tried it on and off and can not detect any difference at all.

It’s a BMW feature to use lots of words that sound like they mean something but actually are completely impossible to decode. Sorry this isn’t working out yet Mike.

Maybe my steering wheel is already at the highest setting. I’m short. My seat definitely moves down and away.

I believe that is the seat extender option, which is then controlled by the iDrive seat settings. Again, I am short so would never use this. Maybe you have to switch it on to use the iDrive function. If I accidentally hit that, my legs would not reach the accelerator or brake pedals. So, maybe it’s a safety feature that you must toggle on in order to use the adjustment.

Hmm... Let me experiment with that and see if that's it when I'm back in the car.

I never knew this "feature" was there either. I activated it yesterday, and cannot see anything it does differently, whether toggled on or off

[MikeElmendorf]

So, I called Genius yesterday. They have no idea what it does. Neither does my sales manager or service department.

Does ANYONE know?

[MikeElmendorf]

Also, I am wondering if something is wrong with my seats. Pushing the button that should tilt up and down on the front and back of the horizontal control on the seat only moves in one direction. To get it to move both ways, I need to use iDrive. Very strange. Anyone else seeing this?

I also still want to know why my build sheet and MyGarage say the car has multicontour seats—and the iDrive image seems to show an articulation there—but it is pretty clear the car actually does not for those who know what multi-contour seats are.

I just have the “multi-function” seats on my build sheet but this has got me curious too - not sure if that’s the same thing or not.

I’ll take a look when I’m back home later this week.

I tried toggling this off and on when I was driving last night and could detect zero difference.

[MikeElmendorf]

It remains a mystery…..
