I just found this digging through the manual. Even BMW calls the functionality of the "Auto" button "Adaptive". Yet they label the button "Auto" instead of "Adaptive". I realize that the word "adaptive" is a long word but they could have labeled the switch "ADAPT" or some other name that describes the functionality of the switch better than "Auto". The car already has Auto on/off functionality without the Adaptive functionality for cornering, auto high beam, etc.

It blows my mind how some of these Designers, Programmers and Engineers come up with what "They" think is a good idea. BMW thinks it makes sense but those that are using their "good" ideas are coming here on the forums asking how to use their "good ideas".

I still love the car and the technology is light years ahead of what I've ever driven. I drive it every day.
