Can you briefly explain how this is done? Thanks

If it doesn’t see the sign it should still know from gps data.

Yes, if the map is up-to-date 99% of time it's working ok for me.

You can use an app like BimmerCode and an ODBII connector to code it. Check out the following thread for more info:

I found another ///M logo in the foot well while cleaning the interior. The protective cover was never removed during prep at the dealership and I never noticed the cover until further inspection today. Peeled it of and there it was.

What does that make, 30 ///M logos on this thing now?

Protective cover? Have I missed something? I’ll be checking that in the morning...

I wonder if there is a way to protect this piece as I'm sure it will get beaten up by stones and sand.

The Weathertech floor liner covers half of it. Maybe thats enough protection for you?

You do know it's +5hp per logo right? That's 150hp right there! Lol

I use TuxMat floor liner, which provides complete coverage. Several other examples could also work, link below

It was almost like a sticker that was covering it up. Peeled right off to reveal the M.

When my main lights are on (using auto lights) turning them to '0' doesnt do anything - they remain on

0 position turns adaptive functions off only, it still turns lights on and off automatically, is a bit confusing, there's no way to turn lights off manually in the dark other than shutting down

Not sure if mentioned already...

If you press and hold the back button, iDrive shows you a list of the last actions you did along the bottom of the screen and you can select them.

It was a nice bright morning today and I was questioning why they were on full in the first place - hence me playing with the switch.

I think sometimes the angle of sun may trick the sensors

I did notice in the dark (after I shut off my engine) it would just leave the day lights on and main lights off if I toggle from auto to off.

Do you have your DRL (daytime running lights) turned on in iDrive? If you do, then anytime the engine is running...you will have some type of lights illuminated on the front of the car. DRLs are designed for you to be seen by other traffic.

Examples of various iterations of iDrive...yours is newer and may be slightly different...but you should get the idea:

Wait a minute! You can adjust the headrest height and the fore/aft separately!?

Come on anyone else not RTFM and assumed it was combined by the big round button on the side of the headrest?

Everyday is a school day.

Woohoo!

The protective cover is on there to protect it from truck drivers/railcar and dealer employees, etc. with their big greasy logging boots scratching it up with all the stones and grime that they love to walk in all the time.
