Quick BMW help needed

haze809 · 11-06-2010, 07:33 PM

Hello, I have a bmw 328i 2008 and I'm having a hard time turning off the headlights while the car is running. On my previous car I could simply turn off the headlights by holding the E brake but it doesnt seem to work on the 328i. Thank you

See your steering wheel? Look left of it. See that knob near the left vent. Set it 0. Lights off. The corona rights(if equipped) cannot be turned off. At least I don't think so.

Awww there is no way? how do you guys go to the drive in movies? lol the little yellow lights never turn off is quite annoying

People still go to drive-in theaters?

I'm lucky enough to live close to one of the 3 drive-in theaters in florida. and yes they are way better than normal movies if you have a good sound system and good munchies. But when i went with the 328i for the first time i couldn't watch the movie with the car on because the headlights would shine on the screen and people would beep at me...There must be someway I can turn them off!

don't have idrive, then you might have to go to dealer and pay for them to turn it off, but then idk if that applies to sedans or not

You can turn the day time running lights off from the stalk. You can also turn your car off....
