I'm considering upgrading my e92 to an F10, and one of the features that will help sell this to my wife would be if the "rest" feature is available on the F10.

This is on my '07 335i, but I believe they stopped including it in later years. So I'd like to understand which of the current models have this feature.

For those that aren't familiar with this, it provides 15 minutes of heat to the cabin of the car after you've turned it off. So, it's great for keeping the cabin warm on those cold-weather days when running quick errands...

Yes, unlike e60 five series, there is no Rest button. With the ignition off, push the fan speed to high to activate residual heat.

How cool is that?

Very nice! If you had to chose just one of those cars, which would you choose?

That's like choosing one child over another, it really can't be done. The two cars are so different in really every conceivable way. They share the same engine, but they put down the power in very different ways. The E92 335i is a sports car with some luxury , the F10 535i is a luxury car with some sport. If you routinely carry more than 2 people it's the 535i all the way. If it's just you or +1 the 335i is all you need.
