Features used on F30

[whw]

Picking up my F30 320i this week (or early next week, depending on when the car arrives). My first BMW (and first continental car). So I have been reading the F30 user manual. There is SO much features and functions that I am wondering whether I will use them at all! Can turn off the DSC, got traction control, got auto cruising (which I never use anyway on my current car), and auto cruising also can adjust by speed and distance from the front car, can choose different drive modes, got blind spot warning, swerve out of lane warning etc etc. So confusing!I would like to know from those who drive a BMW, what are the main features/functionalities that you actually use on a regular basis? And what features do you just leave on permanently and not touch at all?Thanks,whw

Eco Pro. Always on unless someone cucuk's and is asking for it.
Auto Start stop - Always off!
Auto Windscreen Wiper - Always On. First world problems.

Autocruising is good, when you just want to drive very well in Eco Pro within the stipulated speed limit. It's surprisingly fun.

I don't think our cars have lane departure warning, blind spot warning, and adjusting speed based on distance from car in front.

All in all, you'll enjoy your new car, quite tremendously. I find it better to just explore everything in the car myself, and when actually lost, consulting the manual.
