I've heard this before, but mine remembers the previous setting. Until the sweltering summer weather comes around, I usually leave my Climate Control off, with the A/C also off, and it just stays that way. I didn't code anything or even mess with the iDrive settings for that.

Would love to hear from people who have taken their M235i RWD to the track or autocross. How did it perform in the corners? Did you fully switch off DSC?

There is an auto leveling sensor attached to the front suspension that determines the ride height and will adjust the level of the headlamps but the lamps also have manual adjustments which are set too low from the factory. The auto leveling can only compensate so much for lamps that are aimed too low to begin with.

Not really an issue with my M235, but I have one with BMW. I've never seen a company so secretive about maintenance procedures, bolt/nut torque values, and even M-Performance install directions. As a DIYer, this is frustrating. Right now I want to install my M Performance exhaust, but a clear indication on where to make the piping cut is non-existent on the forums and of course there are no directions from BMW. My thread http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1253397.
For those wondering, I contacted Bentley (makers of 3rd part service manuals) and they told me they haven't started a service manual for the 2 series yet |

Not to call anyone out, but if I were a company selling a performance product on a car forum I'd supply install instructions. To me it seems like good business, though perhaps there are some legal challenges I'm not seeing that stops that. |

Dry paintbrush usually gets those out pretty easy before a car wash. Then wipe them out and add some spray wax after the wash.

The lack of a temperature gauge annoys the shit out of me. I suppose engine failure, knocking head warping and/ or steam is what is supposed to pass for a temperature gauge?
Really? |

You have to hold the fan speed lower button down and turn it off manually. When I bought my M235i, the dealer had the fan on. It will stay on every time, until you hold the fan lower button down and turn it completely off. This is my first new BMW and I had to figure that out. I hope that helps.

Same thing with oil temperature and oil pressure, what can the gauges tell you that the ECU isn't already adjusting for? I can kind of see the argument for oil temp so you know when it's warmed up, though even then I dunno. Maybe I'm putting a lot of faith in BMW properly engineering good engine management, but I can understand the elimination of those gauges from the dash. For track use, look no further than the Focus ST. It's fully spec'd out with water and oil temp along with oil pressure and a "boost" gauge, and how many people actually use those gauges on the track? I used to be part of that world, back when the ST had just come out (until I realized that much power to the front wheels was balls). Let me tell you, literally no one I knew used them. The water temp wouldn't move even if you were running hot, the oil temp gauge was fake and its reading was derived from the water reading, the oil pressure gauge and the boost gauge were too non-descriptive (only three marks on the face for each, so it was a guessing game) to be useful. You needed ECU accurate reading? Hook up your tuner and let'er rip. Look, this has been a long cynical post but my bottom line is I'm glad BMW didn't stuff a bunch of useless info on the dash (efficiently gauge notwithstanding). For daily driving it's a nice clean set up, and for hard track use people are gonna use Torque Pro or equivalent to get all their readings. Now if you're so autistic you can't wrap your head around trusting the ECU to actually control the engine temperature I don't know what to say. You'd probably have a heart attack if I told you there isn't a dipstick. |

I put in a P3Cars gauge and the coolant temps fluctuate widely. I've seen 185F to 230F on the same drive! If the gauge were accurate and not a damped gauge ,aka idiot light, the gyrations would be maddening.But I like gauges that's why I went with an after market one.

I do notice that it does randomly stay off sometimes, but I can't duplicate it. Hmm, I wonder if the Auto Climate has to be turned off first when you do the push and hold. I will try that next |
