Many people are loath to ever consider reading the user's manual, and I must say, BMW's, because of the large number of potential options, can be a little hard to interpret sometimes, but, when you consider the complexity of the vehicle...it really makes sense to read the silly thing!  In fact, it's not a bad idea to reread the thing a couple of times as you become more familiar with the car to remind yourself of some of the 'features' and foibles of its operation.  The vast majority of questions can be answered by careful reading of your ~$50K purchase.  Today's cars are not like those of even a few years ago...they're rolling mega computers.  And, to take advantage of the things you've purchased, you owe it to yourself to understand a bit more about it than the features of a 'generic' car's capabilities.
