I can close windows with the comfort access bumps on the handle. I can open with the fob. Fob will not close and handle will not open.

Ahh, that was the missing piece of the puzzle

(I was wondering how everyone knew what to do with just that spreadsheet.)

[pikcachu]

Ya you can code to be able to close windows, mirrors and roof from FOB too as well as opening the mirrors with the FOB

Good luck with that.

Okay, you know the dial on the right side of the steering wheel that lets you scroll through radio stations? I was driving on the freeway this morning, and it had somehow set itself to Manual rather than Presets. I don't know how it got into a Manual mode, but I definitely want Presets unless I'm on a trip.

Anyway, I tried pushing the Mode button on the steering wheel to switch it to Presets, but all that did was switch to CD mode. The only thing that worked was bringing up the Presets screen on iDrive. I hope this was just a fluke and it will remember that I want Presets next time I start up the car.

Another more minor issue is that the gauge cluster doesn't show the actual radio station number, it just shows the RDS name. I'd prefer both since the names aren't really meaningful to me. I assume I'll memorize those eventually, though.

Finally, a question: given that my car has TPMS, is there any way to see the actual air pressure of the tires via iDrive? It seems like all I can find out is that one or more tires is severely low.

Do you have the tech pack? If so go to vehicle info, vehicle status, then tpms and it will show.

the wheel will do whatever you had selected on idrive...
if you left the radio on preset, it will do preset, if you left it in FM it will scroll all the radios...

Do you have rubber stems on your wheels? if so you don't have TPMS but FTM (Flat tire monitor)
mmm... not sure if you need tech package or not

pikachu, thanks a lot for the info in PM. and regarding pressure. my car has pressure monitor inside the iDrive. but i have all packages installed.

Wait so you guys are saying if my M235i has rubber stems than I only have FTM and not TPMS???

Really?

What do you see in Settings - Vehicle info - do you see just green or do you see actual PSI figures?

Rubber
No psi
No tech

I thought The psi was coded in?

Does this mean is cheaper for me to get tpms sensors

[pikcachu]

ok... i believe those are cheaper yes.... the metal stems are the ones they have the wireless transmitter for pressure and temp

WTF

i thought all m235 has tpms
I mean all cars 2014 should have it

[DanG]

Unless you code the idrive it doesn't show the tire pressure with TPMS.

It shows the pressure what it doesn't show is temp

I have metal stems (see picture), but no tech package.

In Settings - Vehicle Info, I only see status (green), no actual PSI figures (I added a picture to show this as well).

What's the point of TPMS if it doesn't tell me the pressure? Judging from the manual, maybe TPMS is not that accurate and they don't want liability for incorrect values? Seems like lots of other cars give you this info, though.

Maybe it's because your car doesn't have run-flats?

To see a reading, I think the car has to be moving down the road for a bit.

Mine doesn't show pressure.

Ah, that may be my problem. I'll definitely check that on my way home today.
