I travel lots on the Channel Tunnel, and at night they ask you to turn the headlights off when boarding the train. Unfortunately, the new headlights don't allow you to do that at night when the car is moving. Yet another nanny system thinking it knows best.

Apologies, if this has already been mentioned but this thread is quite long now!
I noticed today that the 1 > 8 preset keys aren't just for radio stations, you can default them also to Addresses Among other things. It's the little things but just jumping in the car and pressing 8, sets the Nav to my home address. I always like to have the Nav on for traffic/road works. Love finding these little Gems in my 2020 330e M Sport |

That's weird, so does it mean anyone can purchase and enable this in g20? Will they replace the current suspension system or it's just a software tweak to mimic adaptive suspension.

I'm betting they are going to want models with adaptive suspension to pay for it yearly going forward. You will probably get a 1-3 years with it on a new car then have to pay yearly after your trial runs out. I would guess 3 years due to many people leasing.

Saturday I learned how absurdly difficult it is to remove the grill on the g20. Way harder than it was for the f30. You really have to yank and pull like you plan to break the thing.

I learned that while using manual (via gearshift) if you press Park it'll force the stick back over to the right. Weirded me out at first, but def a cool feature if you forget to slide it back over yourself.

The car will also engage the parking brake automatically if you exit while Auto Hold is active. I make sure to apply and double check the parking brake myself, though, as this could be a bad habit to carry into other cars that might not do the same.

For ex - With my SQ5, A4 and 330i, when I come to a stop, I just turn the car off. I don't put it in P or turn the handbrake in. Turning it off does both automatically (though sometimes parking brake doesn't engage and I need to apply it manually). I drove my A7 and once, forgot I was in it and did what I do in the other cars. Shifter was in D. Car started rolling forward. Thankfully there was nothing in front or behind or anywhere near the car. Scary situation!

I guess it's a setting? Because in my car it doesn't. I've put it in P, gotten out with the engine running and walked away to get the trash can and stuff, and I've also locked it with the engine running for quick errands (like dropping mail in the mail box) and it has never shut off.

I learned my two different phone car chargers do not work in the cigarette lighter port up front by the cupholders, but they work perfectly fine in the rear lighter port. Wasted 2 hours at the dealer and they proved with the bmw branded charger that the front lighter port is fine. Apparently the front port is a true cigarette lighter port and is slightly different shaped which causes many accessories to not make solid contact.

I created a favorite radio stations list and it now only scrolls through the ones I like. All 8 buttons available for other things then.
