Cool trick, but Why would you want a tiny digital readout for speed and RPM, when you have big beautiful gauges that are easier to see and even easier yet to read? Seems like TMW to go thru all the menu selections just to have it reset the next time you cycle the ignition switch.
Hello from PAris, thank you for the videos!!!. I have an Eprom problem on my 2001 Z3 with EEP-1 error, the needle on my oil gauge is no longer working and the fuel gauge and tachometer are not either. Can I use your method to display the oil and fuel gauge like you do for the speed display? THANKS!!
Love the hacks!! But I have a question for you...1998 323 i convertible. Sometimes I hear 3 soft beeps some mornings but not always, occaisionally later in day, and sometimes not a daily occurrence. Nothing lights up as if a problem. Car is running well when this happens The tones come from the instrument cluster area. Thanks Jay
Hi, thank you very much. As far is I understand this has to do with the MEMO function, it is a reminder of sorts for the clock. Not sure how to turn it off, the owners manual would be your best bet or google. Hope that helps.
Bonjour, merci pour les vidéos. J'ai un probleme de Eprom sur ma Z3 de 2001 avec erreur EEP-1, l'aiguille de ma jauge d'huile de fonctionne plus et la jauge d'essence et le compte tour non plus. Est-ce que je peux avec ta méthode afficher la jauge d'huile et d'essence comme tu le fais pour l'affichage de la vitesse ? Merci!! Thanxs!!!!
I just took a look at a 1996 BMW Z3 (private party sale) and when I went to start the car, I was looking for the "check engine" light on the dash, but it never appeared. Could the ECU be programmed to not show the light or could the bulb be removed? My OBD2 scanner showed it had a catalytic converter issue.
The passenger seat has to be jostled with your bum before the seatbelt is released. Took the small cushion away and it solved the problem. Is there a hack to bypass this seat safety switch or adjust the contacts closer ?
@@MDvanDyk There are a few 'solder' workarounds, but that may effect the 'tightening-belt' action. You know, when the wife screams, " It locked me in and I can't move, dammit !" That happens often when I'm driving... LOL
MY 2001 Z3 won't start until the seatbelt is connected. How do I turn off that feature? I would like to be able to start the car without the seatbelt connected. Thank you
Hi, as soon as you turn the key and push the button to enter the test, press it again immediately to try and make it go into the menu. Hope it works for you.
@@MDvanDyk thanks man for your quick response. I was searching for my Z3 model and I think I find something... If you interest check here www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?1258638-E36-Cluster-test
Dude, instead of showing your face, show what needs to be done step by step and don't skip anything, except the annoying music, show what every step's secret interpretation, thanks
Hi, the red interior Z3 is actually ours and we did do this. The only clip I used which is another BMW was of the “sweep” as we could not access that function.

It's to test that the tac or Speedo is showing correctly
You're really good with cars.
Michael, It would be easier to hear your instructions without the music. Makes my hearing aids vibrate. Thanks for thew video.

Cool car tips and tricks.
You're really good at it bro. Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
Great work
Thank you so much 😀
Good stuff! Love your intro and trailer. Look forward to more Z3 content! Subbed.
Thanks for the sub!
This would of been great if the music wasn't apart of it
Another great video.
Thanks again!

Hi, thank you. I am not sure if you are able to display the oil or fuel unfortunately. You can Google to check but I don’t think it is possible.
have you done the slidey seat fix on yours?
Hi, yes I have. Check the link. th-cam.com/video/q_g-2Dm9W4M/w-d-xo.html

what are some other options in the menu? specifically volts.

Hi, more than likely it is the bulb that has been removed or blown.
@@MDvanDyk I did not realize how easy it is to remove that bulb on that car: th-cam.com/video/qRhqVD1eAKg/w-d-xo.html

Hi, haven’t come across this issue myself yet. Not sure how to resolve it. Good luck.

Where is calibration on the 2.3 z3
MY 2001 Z3 won't start until the seatbelt is connected. How do I turn off that feature? I would like to be able to start the car without the seatbelt connected. Thank you
Hi, I believe this is an issue that needs to be done by the dealer. You need to connect to the OBD2 and set this setting on the ECU.
I have e36 1993
But i can't enter the test menu
Just make the rpm and speed move

Any clue on my Z3 2001 draing the battery?
I have this issue too on 2001 3.0i so I disconnect the battery when I park for long periods now.
Check door striker plate switches
Hi can we adjust the trip odometer more than 1000
music between items... VERY MUCH TOO LOUD.
At the beginning of the test the digital screen shows some (six i think) various informations. Does anyone knows what that info is about?
Hi, sorry no. I know it’s other service related tests or modes but not sure what it’s for.

I just pushed the reset button and now I have a full tank of gas, sweet...
How can I reprogram the parking lights to not stay on while I run the headlights?
Second part not working
Why is this not in the manual
Good question...
holy mackerel

THIS!
Makes me want a bmw lol
bra my car won’t turn on
Go bra-less...
You're just copying someone else's video man. If you were a Beemer owner, or had actually done this, it'd be a thumbs up.

super annoying music
