BMW Engineers... pick your features I guess

[Doanster]

Discovered a "they thought of everything" feature today. Might be old news for you all, but surprised me.
I normally just get no the car, put it in "D" and drive. Today, I decided to push the lever left to see how/when the car shifts based on my right foot's action.
When I arrived at my destination, I instinctively just pushed the Park button. To my surprise, a second later, the shift lever automatically moved back to the right and then it shifted out of "D" and back to "P".
So the engineers thought of this scenario, put the logic into the s/w and then put a small motor in to physically move the lever back to the right. Pretty good.
Contrast that with things like not dipping both mirrors down when the car is in Reverse and you have the title of this post.

Or not finding room for a spare and 3rd row.

Amen to that. Why not just put it underneath the car at the very least?
Even though I don't have the third row, when the RFs finally wear out, I'm going to go with stickier rubber, but will need a spare solution for road trips. Will most likely get the stock spare and take the risk of not having it properly stowed underneath the storage compartment.

well make room for 3rd row in x5m f85 and then we will talk...

Fudge it, two beach chairs will make a third row seats. As for the seat belts, your local hardware store sells plenty of ropes, or chains, depends on who is sitting back there.
