Memory Buttons

Just a quick question to see what users are storing with the Memory Buttons.
As a recent BMW convert, I would appreciate usages outside radio stations.

Thanks so much!

Thanks Ab_Fr0man
So many options was one of the reasons I put this up. Looking forward to hearing other uses.

I forgot I made a recent change - I changed my #5 to "Interior Lighting" and replaced split screen on off as I never used it.

I can't really remember whether the engine was running or not but the car was stationary. Try with engine running and then without engine running whilst the car is stationary.

As I mentioned the idrive must not be displaying the 'Sport display' whilst memory button is being pressed

I always set my far right button as "tone" -- I like to mess with the bass/treble a lot depending on the source and material.

I use speech input for tyre pressures. Being mean, button 1 is on fuel prices, as I always forgot how to find it in the menu.

That is true. I rarely press buttons nowadays. The combination of gesture control to activate speech recognition then speech recognition taking over.
