The harddisk in the car store more than 40 cd and still only about 15% used... of course handphone or iPad linked via Bluetooth provides more sources.

Around the idrive knob there is an "option" button. Press that then function to switch off screen will come up.

Re: Things u din't know 'bout ur STOCK F30.

I was trying to load my MP3 collection over the weekend to idrive but system fail to recognize any files.

After reading many forums found out that the system will only recognize mp3 files if they are encoded at lower than 256 kbps. If you need a free encoder to convert, i find "SWITCH by NCH software" quite good.

Hope this is useful.

Does anyone know how to adjust the auto reverse left side mirror when parking?

Make sure the selection switch for mirror adjustment is set at driver side mirror, the auto reverse will work for passenger side mirror when reversing.
 
Re: Things u din't know 'bout ur STOCK F30.

Does anyone know how to activate the front sensors and when will it be used ?
The rear sensors are naturally quite useful for parking and the rear parking obstacles view is also shown on the screen when one is reversing.

When and how does the front sensors work ?
any ideas ?

Assuming you have front sensors then it will auto activate every time u engage Reverse gear. You can also manually activate it via a switch on the right of your gear lever.

I don't think the 3 series sold by PML come with front sensors. You'll have to install it in 3rd party workshops.

Bro Starman, I use 95 petrol fr S'pore (switch among Esso, Caltex & Shell dep. on offer & coupon). Hope the computer is accurate as it still show 13.9km/lit. Some expressway journeys even hit 20km/lit (is it common for you guys?)Didn't bother to measure by full tank.

I am getting about 13.6 [1/2 expressway; 1/2 normal roads] with Shell 98, with ASS and ECO PRO modes enabled. On highways I noticed it can even go up to as high as 28km/lit. However, I really do not know how reliable is this reading.

It also depends on how u push the car. If you keep it at a constant 1500-1700 rpm, I believe it is possible to get 14km/lit, but then again, I guess that really takes the joy off from driving and owning a BMW. ;)

My previous car was a Honda Civic 1.8. In terms of power and fuel consumption, it is no where near the 316, even with the smaller engine capacity.

Cheers

Not sure if it has been mentioned before.

For the folks who have not coded the auto-folding of the side mirrors when you lock the car, simply hold on to the "locking" part of the handle on the door for at least 2 secs and the mirrors will fold automatically.
