Some buttons disappeared after ED ?!
I am the owner of a 2013.9 ED Coupe M3. While in Europe I remember the central console had more buttons than after the car got re-delivered US side. Is this a US regulation that does not allow those functions ?
in Europe my car had the following PHYSICAL buttons: -PDC -sunblinds rollers -HDC Hill Descent Control -deactivating auto start/stop. and now I see only 2. -sunblinds rollers -deactivating auto start/stop. PDC is still working automatically when going in reverse but forward PDC required that button and so is not longer possible. HDC was a nice feature that regulates the car in steep descents to 5 mph. Why did they have to remove these ?? FYI I got the premium package. |

US spec cars only have rear PDC so I doubt your car ever had the front sensors. Never heard of anyone having the button that disappeared upon redelivery in the US but your system is working as it should on a US spec car. Front PDC can be had on a Euro spec car.
Not familiar with the HDC feature, not sure if it comes on the M3. I know my wife had it on her old X5... Edit: Just looked at the M3 manual online and it shows HDC. Perhaps it is a Euro spec option as well...

Are you sure that you didn't do your ED at a hash bar in Amsterdam
Front PDC has never been an option in the US if you had it then they stole your front sensors on the bumper cover as well. HDC was never offered on the M3.

I remember pressing and depressing that button wondering what it was doing. Could they have build my car to european specs and found out about it at VDC. How to check if I have regenerative brakes ? |

Holland's was not part of in my road trip, only the german and swiss Alps and Italian lakes. So the air was crisp and my mind was sharp and clear. I didn't smoke nothing. I confirm my car has the orange reflectors but I think they may have only accidentally installed those few euro options I mentioned. I'll check for the front PDC sensors. I guess they had to remove them to be fair to other M3's

I was under the impression that HDC was only available on xDrive vehicles.
I know this sounds like a dumb question, but are you positive the car you drive in Europe was the car you bought and are now driving in the US?

I assume the missing options and buttons could have been easily removed at VDC. haven't you noticed HDC is documented in the M3 manual ? My manual is the 2013 version. There is a serial number on the back : 01 40 2 918 660 ue iDrive |

Right but the M3 manual is in two parts, at least my 2011 manual did. The first is actually just the generic 3 series manual with the second focusing on the M3 specific bits. Conceivably the HDC feature mentioned in the first manual could be for the 328xi and 335xi models...

Correct, the M3 Supplement makes no mention of HDC.

Ok you win. I don't see a PDC hole in my front bumper. I have not made my ED delivery thread yet. No picture preview policy until then. I think I may have read the manual so assiduously in the plane on the way there on my laptop that I pictured the buttons in my car. But I seem to remember pressing them especially the HDC one. |

Must have been the owner's manual's power of suggestion.
