[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 10744, member: 4527"] It took a near 2 hours for the SA to go thru the functions and features in an E90 today! I find it too much for me to absorb in a day.. need to spend more time tonight going thru the manual..1. The key: its like a thumb drive that records all personalised settings except MP3s [:D], it carries information including the seat positions, radio stations, the way the central locks unlock itself, the number of blinks for the turning indicators.. etc.2. On Board display.. need to reset RFT and...... gezz... can't remember lio... so many things! Yes, engine oil level, mileage or time to next brake disc rotor change (front/rear), mileage or time to next brake fluid change.... aiyaa... a lot of info la... now headache lio..3.
