no, really... So, now that I have your attention My wife (5' 1.5") has to lower the suspension to its lowest position each time she wants to get out of the car.

My question is - is it possible to predefine / set the suspension height at a specific location like the "Opening a window" function? Thanks

Unfortunately it is not. Yours is 1.5" taller than mine.

As we like to tell them - good things come in small packages.

So does that mean when she wants to get in the car, you pick her up and put her in? but she has to get out on her own?

Yeah, well, my wife and I are both short, there, I said it, short, and getting in and out is a challenge. We have figured out a way to get in that seems to work without a lot of sliding on the edge of the seat but getting out, our feeble mines forget its a simple as the opposite of getting in and we both tend to get out by sliding off the side of the seat. She spins around sideways and slides out like she's jumping out of an airplane. I cringe every time I see it. We knew this was an issue before buying the car but I didn't want air suspension, which really doesn't help much and we didn't want running boards cause they make it worse and we wanted the M Sport Pkg that makes it worse. It is what it is, we just deal with it and complain to each other. I think when my tires wear out, I'll replace them with a set of 13" wheels and tires, that out to lower the car by a good 3.5"

I’ve seen the running boards on a friend’s 2017 and think they look good. FWIW

Personally, I think they look great and I initially wanted them until we found a G05 on a dealers lot and tried using them to get in/out. Significantly worse than without them. I was disappointed in that I thought I had found a solution.

Please tell me how do you predefine the opening of a window at a certain location?

There is an automatic window app where you can store the GPS locations where you want the window to automatically come down.

No, it is a BMW App in iDrive. Perhaps it is not available in all countries, I don't know.

Just found this in the manual, I'll have a look, thank you.

That is the automated habits but there is also a standalone app in the Apps.

OK, thanks. I have also noticed that windows roll down slower than they did in F10.

Yes, they are the slowest that I have experienced since my grandmother using one of these:

my wife is shy of 4'10". i told her i could set her profile to start in Electric mode as default and set the suspension to Sport level, but she prefers Hybrid mode even with its Normal suspension level.

How old are you??? I didn't have electric windows 'till my 4th car, and I'm only 65. Of course the first three cars added up cost less than $4K.

44 here and only had one vehicle with crank windows, a Jeep Wrangler 4.0L; every other car I’ve ever owned has had power windows, and I can only think of one car my parents owned that didn’t have power windows.

I had plenty of crank windows, just operated them quicker than my grandmother did.
