the situation you guys are talking about theoretically shouldn't happen with the auto wipers. just adjust the sensitivity. also the vent being in idrive isn't a big deal cause they have 8 programmable keys. you can make it one button away.

But the single wipe while in auto is something I use too. Sometimes the sensitivity doesn't work as intended due to salted roads etc and I want it to single wipe instead of increasing the sensitivity or I am at maximum already (this one doesn't go to eleven). |

Micleg yeah I can see how that would be a problem. never have to worry about salt here.

The auto wipers and the single 'flick' wipe is (in my climate) used quite a lot. Nothing to do with sensitivity, simply wiper timing. As an example, when I have a heavy goods vehicle coming in the opposite direction, on a country road, there is that split second where spray can hit the screen and the delay in wiper action is just too long. Only a split second, but as a driver you can anticipate and react to keep good vision. Plus other situations in varied rain types (we have that quite often in the Highlands of Scotland) where a quick wipe ensures a clear screen. Without needing to keep changing the sensitivity. There are times where a low sensitivity is best in winter driving, saves over wiping and smearing, but the single wipe can be timed perfectly for cleaning. The present wiper function is perfect, as an auto "override" function. The G30 will be a niggle to use. Always thinking, "why did BMW change it?" |

F10 functionality together with it remembering if I had set it to auto the next time I start the car would have been the best combo. Can't see how this new way of doing it will make me happier but I hope the engineers haven't done something stupid.

HighlandPete unfortunately you are a small percentage and there are a lot of ignorant people that don't understand simple directions.

There's a separate "Menu" button on the climate control panel that'll get you to it quickly

Hi Dave. That was a great write up. I am looking at the 54i X Drive. I like a sporty ride and feel to the car. Which suspension makes the most sense in that regard? 704 M Sport Suspension, Dynamic Damper Control or the Dynamic handling Package?

Back on topic - G30 lines are nice. Interior looks nice. I will wait a year or two recalling the issues with the 2011 and 2011-2013 N63's.
That said, a 2 year lease might be interesting. I get bored fast! |

Why move one of the most used and important controls to a sub menu? I wonder if the gesture control can detect a shivering frozen shaking fist and a driver swearing? |

Hey Dave. I heard BMW Vista was bought by AutoNation a few months ago? That true?
Wondering because I've never been able to get a good deal from an Automation dealer. Too corporate. Hopefully you can get us local forum guys a good deal so I don't have to keep going up to LA to get my new cars. |

Guys, Dave is the real deal. There is no one more passionate about M5's in the US (and every M5 owner that mods their car has seen Dave's M5 on youtube!). I can 100% vouch for his authenticity and deep knowledge of the brand.
I know you will do well at Vista, Dave! |

6 months but Bmw will only pay for the last 3 payments of your lease with pull ahead program. So you will have to either wait for the last 3 or pay for the other remaining months within the first 3 months of your last 6 payments.

On my E60, I never understood the stratified air temperature setting and why BMW is different than every other car maker. Most people think, "Hey, the air coming out of the events is too hot, let me turn down my personal temperature control with this handy temperature knob right here."
Why make two controls that both affect temperature? It seems overly complicated and largely unnecessary. I only need one control for temperature! |
