Interesting. I have a feeling that BMW does a lot of cut & paste when they make their manuals.

On the subject of owner's manuals, the UK owner's manual includes every option available including how to adjust the electric seats but it only has instruction on manual adjustment of the steering column. Looks like the brochure is wrong and there was no intention to ever make it the steering column electric.
