I had no idea. I thought you had to manually bring the car back up to speed! Or hit resume.

Come to think of it, I don't think it's absolute - if you stomp the gas and floor it I think it disengages if there's too much of a speed delta from your cruise setting. I'll have to test that out but I feel like that's happened before now that I think about it more.

I got my 330i Friday and have been figuring out all of the ways it is different than my old 540i. One is the way the auto brake hold functions. In my past two 5-series it would subtly engage each time I came to a stop. With the 330i I have to press a little harder after coming to a stop or it won't engage, kind of like how Mercedes does it. I don't like this and I don't recall other G20 models I've driven having this issue. Maybe it is a change for 2021.

Bmwphile ,
I noticed on my previous BMW, the HUD darn near disappeared if I wore polarized sunglasses so I always wear non-polarized; think it has to do with the way the HUD works

Get in the car as normal with the digital key. Put your phone on the charger like you normally need to in order to start the engine. With the phone in place you can use the button inside the car to open the trunk. Can't be done with the digital key from outside.

Found out the hard way today that the locking wheel nut key is hidden in a secret compartment to the left hand of the boot underneath the tyre pump and first aid kit.
After ringing my dealer and BMW assist neither could point me in the right direction so had to wait for BMW assist to come out and locate it 🙈likely the car garage were very helpful and didn't mind having to wait over an hour to take the wheel off. |

I was going to say the same...... but we’re not in the EU now.

BTW - some gas pump information (video) screens are worthless when wearing polarized sunglasses. |

Speaking of faint, the backup camera is very dark at night compared to my Audi. Not sure if that's a common issue or is related to my back window being tinted? In any case, I can barely make anything out when backing up in the pre-dawn hours. |

Funny you mention this, because I've thought the same thing. I wondered if it was the actual reverse lights, themselves, but I think it's just the camera is a bit dim.

At least you had yours. Mine somehow went 'missing' and I had to wait a week for a new one. |

I was dreading having to wait for a new one with the tyre flat and not being able to move the car! Next time I have a question, I'm coming straight here for answers and not my dealer 😂 |
