- in this video, I discuss the steps to access the hidden menu functions on my BMW e90. this will probably work on the E8x models BMW 1 series,
main functions - menu 1 is vehicle data and information
menu 6 deals with fuel
menu 7 deals with engine operations (coolant temp, digital rpm)
menu 8 deals with Speed (actual speed, average speed, cruise control speed)
menu 9 deals with battery voltage

Just on a quick side note... I have fixed the alternator and all is working well :)
hell yeah bro. I've tried many video but they're not match with my bmw till I watch this video this is helpful. BIG thanks :)
+RyanCooper s thank you for the support... Glad you liked the video
Many Thanks, Preshaan.
I’d never have understood the menus on my E90, if you had not explained it so well 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Its a pleasure🙏🏼
Very Cool! Thanks for this. I was worried about my coolant temperature but its fine:)
MAn i wondered why they didnt put one on the gauge cluster but now I know! Just need the insider info for the shade tree mechanics.
Very cool! Love the digital speedo.
Thank you... The digital speedo is one of my favourites
Congratulations from Brazil !!!
Thanks for this video...!
Thank you for the support and for watching
Thanks dude! That might come in handy one day. Good stuff to know!
Thank you for your support 🙏🏼 this has helped me a lot of times
Super helpful ! Thanks
Super helpful man thanks
Very cool! Thanks for telling us about all this.
Nice! Good vid bro. I was just trying to figure out how to see my coolant temp. Thanks
+TheMregee you're welcome. Glad to be of assistance
Thank You Preshaan :)
FANTASTIC AND VERY ACCURATE WITH THE INFORMATION AND THE APPLICATION PROCESS MUCH APPRECIATED 👍👍👍
Much appreciated

Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏼
Thanks for your video!
+mr2bmw you're welcome. Thank you for your support
Sho , thanks for this video bud.
Definitely going to do that digital speedo. That's tops 🔥
Digital Speedo can be coded to show permanently while scrolling with the BC button. This is very helpful when you travail to have both km/h and Mile/h
@@famille8mm616 how?
Brilliant 😊😊😊
Very interesting, thank you.
Its a pleasure

Preshaan Briglall yes I did, many thanks Preshaan
Great
Thanks this is very informative
Good vid
+Sean Rose thank you very much
Thanks bro.. Nice video.. Do u have anything on preventative maintenance on the gearbox on the E90..
You have done the best job of explaining the hidden menu that I've seen thus far. I wonder what is its main purpose. Do BMW technicians use it?
I would assume that the main purpose is to monitor the vehicle parameters. I.e battery voltage, charge, also having accurate readings and monitor the vehicle. As far as if BMW techs use it, I'm not sure, but its a nice 'on the fly' tool
Hi, thank you for your comment. Majority of the cases, cleaning a fault code will require an OBD2 scanner / diagnostic tool to clear faults. Hidden menu wont be able to clear any faults
Hey dude,
Thanks for sharing this info.
I would like to light up your knowledge that the fuel tank calculation is in this way.
L - stands for liter of gasoline that was 11
R - stands for reserve of gasoline left after coming to that state of level which is 4
S - sum of liter that includes the reserve gasoline as well.
Thank you for enlightening me🙏🏼 i genuinely did not know that, i really appreciate it 🙏🏼
Hi just a quick query, so before I was getting a low fuel warning along with a chime at a range of 100km but after my service and resetting the service intervals and everything that low fuel warning chime isn't coming even at 90km of fuel range, is there any possibility to get that feature back ?
Man thank you so much for this video. I ran across it on accident but gained more knowledge about my car than I have thus far. Keep em coming man. You got a fan here. Is there a way to check the transmission fluid temperature? I feel like mine is getting hot and I don't wanna burn my clutches. I have a couple codes coming up that I don't know and can't find the resources in printable form to reference while in vehicle. I know one is the abs pressure light or something like that making it lose engine power and I have to run the traction control off but that didnt seem to really help but one time. I don't wanna continue driving it in fear of really f%$&*% something up. Thanks again for the information.
thank you for your support, i greatly appreciate it. I would personally have your car tested with a professional diagnostic tool, and do a live data stream, it will be able to show all parameters of the vehicle which should include the gearbox temperature. With regards to the traction control, I would look into having your wheel speed sensors replaced which is why the ABS warning light is coming on and having you turn off traction control to drive at full power. the sensor is giving a faulty reading thinking that the wheel is turning faster than what the diff & speedo is reading... another side note is to check if your alternator / battery is in good condition as this will also cause failures in readings
thank you
At idle alternators tend to be underdriven. Try holding it at 1500-2000 rpm (where it would be when moving)
It takes a few seconds to fully activate, on regular driving its around 13.5v and on idle its around 13.9-14v
Thanks man for this information, also my BMW320i sometimes on cold engine in first gear jerks a bit, i have done big services and changed the plugs, filters and all, did the diagnostics test but nothing came up, is it possible it does due to cold or anyother issue?
You can also use Bluedriver OBD2 scanner if you want to log everything on your iPhone/Android.
Thank you for sharing this... Yes the OBD2 scanner will be a good tool for monitoring these readings
very good i have battery warning yellow indicator, need to check voltage
+Blackwing it could be 1 of 3 things. Please check if your battery connections are completely tight. If the yellow battery light is still on, Have your battery charged or replaced
Howsit buddy i have a 2010 320i msport. Im having a problem on fuel economy. Its very heavy. Quater tank fuel gives me only 35km only. I have done a diagnotic check and no faults picked up. Any idea what needs to be done
Do you have a video on resetting service lights? I do a lot of my own work and hate seeing needs service when I start it.
Yes i do 🙏🏼
th-cam.com/video/lFKJW2GZiHw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the info man, works on my 07 E90 N54 great. Let me know if you got any other cool secrets
Glad i could be of help buddy, if i find out anything new will include it in the channel 🙏🏼
Any chance you could do a video on how to convert the factory CCC idrive from Japan to Another country (NZ?) for things like radio, gps etc?
Unfortunately these would need specific coding for it to work🙏🏼
How do you get these to be on your BC buttons without doing that set up every drive?
Unfortunately the only way to get these through your BC button is through coding, and mostly you will only get the digital speed... Not the other functions... I hope this helps
Heyy nice video man ,just a quick question.. is there a way to get the fuel warning chime way sooner like with 100kms of range ...
It warns you at a specific point on how much fuel is in the tank... The range is irrelevant as it is based on how you're driving
@@Realpreshaanb hey I checked the avg speed and avg mileage now and also previously ( when it was actually working ) both the values are same... For example when I wasn't facing this issue I was getting 13.2 km/l and 33.2kmph and now the values are same cuz the driving style is same but the low reserve warning isn't popping up, checked the fuel quantity level in instrument cluster as well... It's exactly the same when I used to get the warning ( actual reserve quantity before when I was getting the warning) 😭 rely need help in this broo
Is there a way to make it show how much range you have left on your car?
There is a menu that shows you everything that deals with fuel, I'm not exactly sure which it is, but to view your range, there is a range indication that can be displayed without using the hidden menu, all you have to do is press your BC button and cycle through the options... Or you can press MENU (BMW professional radio) and select BC, that will bring up 4 values (Average fuel consumption - average speed - range - exterior temperature) i hope this helps you
Menu 1.3 Cod dia 0009h 08d0h ia this normal?
Hi , I have an e92 320d with a manual gearbox, do you know if there is a hidden menu to put the car into a sports mode?
There is no sports mode
Hi Great job with video. I have the brake sensor warning comes (brakes worn to minimum thickness- see dealer) up every time I start my 2011 X5 E70. The brake pad wear sensors have been changed out twice with OEM and the dealer states it is in my DSC unit. Is there any way to bypass this in the computer to clear and ultimately fix ? Thanks
Thank you for your comment, onto your question, unfortunately the hidden menu wont be able to assist in this regard, however you can try to fool the system by crossing the 2 break pad sensor wires together, or alternatively have it coded out completely, but then you will lose the function of the sensor all together
Point taken 👌🏼
Can you change the language of the gauge cluster
Unfortunately not... Its programmed in german and only reads out in german
bmw e92 320i 2011, i cant acces the hidden menu using the vin number calculation method, after i insert the sum of digits menu is still Lock:on
Hi, send me an email on p.briglall@gmail.com and I'll be able to assist you
Can you drive normally with the coolant temp on?... so you can see if your car is overheating or not?
Or can you only drive a little with it on?
Thanks
Yes you can, as long as you don't have any errors constantly coming up, you can use the hidden menu on for as long as you want
Hello Preshaan. I wanted to ask something.The coolant temperature is antifreeze temperature? Thank you.
Its the reading that come from the engine temperature sensor, basically the temperature of whatever you have running through your radiator and cooling system ✌🏼
Preshaan Briglall thanks 🙏
And all this other things is WAY more easy to monitor through MHD.
1. It's free
2. There's no MHD for Diesels
3. This works on every BMW of this generation (1, 3, 5, 6, 7 series)
My BMW X 1 battery dead without any symptoms and I managed to start through jump. Now it's shows a icon and head lights on, power shutters and signal lights not working. Any thoughts? What should I do next?
Check your battery terminals if they're not loose, thereafter have your vehicle checked by a diagnostic test and it will point you in the correct direction
Sata Afrika bro ... !!
Cd player not working
2006 323i exclusive I drive
Hi I have a e93 and the passenger seat airbag light has come on. Do you know if this is the sensor or something else?
You'd need to diagnose to find out... In most cases its a faulty connection... Perhaps remove the negative terminal from your battery for 10 minutes, connect it again then try and see if the error persists
My x5 is running at 59 degree Celsius even after 30 minutes, is this normal? Or should I be worried?
That's absolutely normal, you should only be worried when it reaches 100+
Hello!
I have question, can u check ur RPM engine in (D) automat and (P)? It's so any difference? My bmw have in D 780 on P 830 idk its okej?
Its normal because you are engaging the torque converter and putting the drivetrain under load
@@Realpreshaanb so u too have 780 RPM on D position?
Yes
@@Realpreshaanb thanks
my car is complaining engine temperature is high. It's an X5 2008 model. Pls what can i do?
Have a look at your cooling system, from your cooling fan to the temperature warning sensors, ensure all of it is operating properly and replace immediately should you need to
How to calculate the code
Its vr47970 = 27
Max is 21
+Mohammed Zaid 21 is the menu... You go to menu 19, you see lock: on... Wait 2 seconds, then input 27, wait another 2 seconds and you will have unlocked
How donyou check engine temparture ?
Menu 7.01 is the one you're looking for regarding engine / coolant temperature... 2:30 in the video👌🏽
How to I get it from limp mode.
You need a diagnosic / scan tool that
Would it work for e87?
Yes. 1,3,5,6,7 series
I can go 9nly till 8
Does the E90 come with door lock deadlock feature?
Once you lock the car and the vehicle goes to "sleep", it should go into deadlock safety mode
@@Realpreshaanb will check this out.
@@Realpreshaanb nope, just experimented with that suggestion. Hasn't worked.
Thanks for the workouts, my cluster doesn't respond should I change it or is there a way out?
Can we do it with bmw 520 i. 2005??
E60 models yes it will work🙌🏼
Will this work for e92 M3? Thanks!
Yes absolutely, i haven't personally tried it but I've seen some video's where the cluster test is being done so I'm very sure it will work 🙏🏼
is the menu after exit lockt every time?
Yes it is, you need to redo everything to gain access to these menus
Does the coolant temp stay on when you’re driving? I wanna keep it on so I can keep an eye on it.
you will need to unlock the hidden menu each time you want to use this. The cluster locks every time you remove the key and lock the car.
Aww man that sucks
What’s the normal operating temperature?
Anything between 75-90 degrees C
I don’t get it. I have digital spedo if i just press main button on left leaver 3-4 times.
With having it coded in to display it then yes. 99% of the time it's not available from factory
hi. how chang miles to km and mpg to litera/100km in e83 2007 3.0si??
Łukasz B. You can change it using the BC stalk and the toggle switch, or if you have the professional stereo system, press menu - Config - and using the radio buttons to configure your instruments... Please note that the hidden features menu are set in default units being km (kilometres) and L (liters)
Hello! My CCC is broken, and I have the flat tire red lignt on. Can I earese this light with hidden menu?
Please HELP! ;) THX!
Hi, unfortunately the hidden menus aren't used for clearing codes, you can try using the BC switch and button and using the icons on the dashboard, its difficult to say because I don't have the iDrive system
@@Realpreshaanb ok thx for searching! :-)
quick question, how do u do it so u can always display the speedo, because mine
restarts everytime i turn off the car
It will never stay on permanently, it will always reset when you turn the car off, to have a digital speedometer you'll need to have your car coded👌🏼
Mine didn't come up with this menu 🤷🏻♂️ 2006 non satnav
You would need to follow the steps in order, to gain access to these menus as they are not on the forefront for the dashboard
it didn’t work on mine ... any suggestions?
Please follow the steps as per the video and ensure that you are adding up the last 5 digits of your VIN number to get your unlock code🙏🏼
Can the digital speed be changed to mph?
Unfortunately not, because Germany uses the metric system, all internal coding is in metric. Unless you have your car coded using a bmw coding tool (carly for bmw) you can enable it and set it to mph
Yes.
Hello Bro can you please help as how to fix the electric warning light has come up from last few days i have BMW 320i petrol. thanks
Hi there, please email me on p.briglall@gmail.com as to what the car is doing
what do you think? why the water temperature does not rise to 90
+Robert Vasile water temp will increase factoring how hard you have been driving or atmospheric temperature. That's what I've noticed
Preshaan Briglall
I mention that the outside temperature is 1 degree ... when standing, the water temperature goes up to 90 and i...
no matter how hard they go with the car, and a new symptom is the witness of the clogged particle filter because,if the water temperature is not 90 degres the filter don t have enough time to regenerate and his broken my Dpf
What to you think
+Robert Vasile i would suggest take your car in for a checkup at either a qualified BMW mechanic or to your local BMW dealer. They would be able to diagnose what needs to be replaced in order to get your car working in most efficient order
Preshaan Briglall thanks bro..but i know what happened my termostat egr is broken
Hi Preshaan how can i change it limit of the BMW.
Hendrik Doubell what limit are you enquiring about?
The speed limit if you drive more than 120 red limit comes up on dash board
Thats a warning that's a feature built into the car... Im sure you can have your vehicle coded to have it removed but other than that there's no other way to have it removed or increased
Only last 5, not all…some VINs have more.
you only use the last 5 digits to unlock the cluster... that is the SUM of all 5 digits
My BMW X5 says engine temperature high, without driving beyond 250fts. How do I handle this?
Sounds like your water pump needs to be replaced👌🏼
@@Realpreshaanb So the first time i observed that, i followed ur guide to unlock the codes and it stopped but this happened again after two weeks. I have not tried checking the codes again though, But i am really concerned.
Best to do a full diagnosis on your car to see what is actually coming up to give the error
Do you still have the same car?
Yes i do 🙌🏼
Pity BMW didnt have the digital temp guage on dash anyway ,these motors are junk if they overheat
So in dealership they do this and get paid $100+
Its not for me to say, the hidden menu is just used to get real time information of the vehicle while in use, there's no way of getting information regarding codes, errors and what not out of the car without plugging into their diagnostic machines which are linked to the BMW mainframe so it logs all your vehicle information to the system and keeps everything on record
Where can I find my car's code?
+Al Capone once you access the hidden menu. You will see menu number 01.00 (your vehicle vin number will be displayed) add up those digits to get your code. Once you get it, press the button for 3 seconds and proceed to menu 19 and leave for 1 second. Enter your code and release. The cluster should be unlocked at this point
Can you use the digital Speedo after coming to ordinary menu?
Unfortunately not, it is only accessible at that specific sub menu
Mine does not unlock what could be the issue ?
Please confirm you have the correct unlock code using the last 5 digits only, prior to unlocking 🙏🏼
@@Realpreshaanb thanks I figured it out, turns out I had to add the last 5 numbers like you said
Bro!! My bmw don't start after car heated
No start
No crank
But after 30 min it gets normal
Seems like overheating protection, i would have your vehicle taken to a professional for further inspection 🙏🏼
Nothing happens when i hold it down
Do you have any errors coming up on your dashboard? These may cause the process not to work
