I have a button that I'm not sure what it is or what it does?

It is a picture of a car doing a nose dive with some type of speedometer gauge above it? Not sure what that is?

It is located between the heated seat buttons down by the Shifter.

I'm sorry, but no clue and no user manual? I pushed it an made the green light come on but no extra power or blonde chick came out of the trunk?

Hill Descent Control.

Go to bmwusa and go to the "owners" tab. There you can download your owner's manual.

Yup, that's HDC. In most basic terms, it allows the computer to modulate the brakes (while monitoring slippage, etc) to guide you down a slippery hill at walking speeds.
