You may not have that option. Other than you having a 228 and me a 235 we seem to have the package options.

You can find out all the options your car came with by punching your VIN into a decoder. Google BMW VIN decoder and enter the last 7 digits of your VIN into it. It'll list the options and packages. Googling the package or option code will give you more information.

I was also new to my '16 228 (first BMW, and a while since I drove anything with this much power). One tip is to set your speed indicator to chime at something sane (like 75mph) - this was real handy at first, until I got used to how fast I was going.
Can't beat downloading and reading through the manual a few times - some things I missed the first time. |

I asked about the heated wheel because it was not part of the Premium Package. It's a differentiator between that and the Cold Weather Package, which includes it. If you have "Comfort Access" keyless entry, you almost certainly have the PP.

Just checked the vin and I do not have the premium package, just have a couple options like the heated and power seats, on top of the sport package.
I've already started reading the manual, but I really need to dive in this weekend! |

I have the home link and can't get it to work. My garage door guy (Oerhead) looked at it and he couldn't program it either. Tried the learn on the garage door and the instructions in the manual. The garage door motor is 10 years old and he thinks that is the problem. Not buying a new motor until this one goes. I will use the hand held remote.

I use a detailing vacuum (MetroVac) that I use in my detailing business. One end is the vacuum, the other end is the blower. I even have small attachments I use to get the hard to reach areas. 5.0 HP in a compact hand held unit.

It's more convenient than completely getting in the car, closing the door, then moving it a few feet. |

If you have power seats then you have premium package.
I have the luxury package added to the premium package...and I wasn't a fan of having headlight washers so I skipped the cold weather package and just got the stand alone heated seats option. There's many ways you can option these cars. I did my car build down to every detail. As the saying goes: to each their own

That's the time to go into sport+ mode and blow by a fool like that at a high rate of speed.
