It took a near 2 hours for the SA to go thru the functions and features in an E90 today! I find it too much for me to absorb in a day.. need to spend more time tonight going thru the manual..1. The key: its like a thumb drive that records all personalised settings except MP3s [
], it carries information including the seat positions, radio stations, the way the central locks unlock itself, the number of blinks for the turning indicators.. etc.2. On Board display.. need to reset RFT and...... gezz... can't remember lio... so many things! Yes, engine oil level, mileage or time to next brake disc rotor change (front/rear), mileage or time to next brake fluid change.... aiyaa... a lot of info la... now headache lio..3. Central console, act as an on board display too and more info! of course, radio, CD, aux-in (jack inside arm rest)... bla bla bla.. whatever u set here is saved in the "key", slot in different key, u get different radio station saved.4. Central console, there's a cooler slot to keep a can of drink cool. Can turn off the cooling also if u choose to put in a hot drink.. Incredible! There's a ciggy lighter inside to power ur MP3 player and aux-in socket is inside too for u to play your iPOD or whatever! Cool!5. More than 8 buttons on the steering, minus the horn button...
forget which is which lio..6. Engine: No engine oil dipstick, nice and big radiator expansion tank, hopefully it can last longer the E46 expansive tank.
7. Auto rain sensor mode..8. Auto headlight mode..9. single tap/double tap of turn indicator modes.10. DTC, Dynamic Traction Control, 3 modes11. Sport mode, steptronic mode, Auto mode..That's 2 hours gone! and many more to cover and to remember.Its a skip of generation to me because I have skip the E46 gen. I have used the E36 before and now I suffer a knowledge gap. Its a new lesson to learn about cars altogether after being absent for so long..
lots of catching up to do.I hope other experience BMW owners can give me some guidance in preparing the car for a long term relationship apart from just running in the engine for 2k km.I don't expect the SA to guide me all the way because they themselve is not using one.TQ in advance!
