      A LOT of people hate it because they don’t know how it works or look silly on the road. It’s actually very useful if used rights. Thanks for watching!

    Great Video. Another thing to add to turn signals(indicators) that a lot of people don’t know is, that you can lightly tap it in either direction and it will only blink 3 times and will automatically cancel itself. It helps when you changing lanes

    • @sd-cz4wc
      @sd-cz4wc ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can also change it from blinking 3 times to only 1 time. Very cool feature.

    This is great! I started watching thinking as a long term owner of F15, I won't find anything new. Happy to admit I was wrong, the key hole on driver's door and the downshift were completely new for me!!

    Also, get yourself Carly adapter and its app guys, it will unlock so many features e.g closing trunk with a remote, Fold and unfold mirrors with remote, The door handle lights on reverse gear, enable video while driving, remove that camera and navigation disclaimer, change BMW startup logos and much more. Remember, it can void your warranty on a new car. I wish I knew about Carly when I first got my F15.

      No you don't. I have the X6 f16, we lost internet capabilities. The extra functionality thru the app is now useless and no longer supported. There are class action suits against bmw over this. Plus...his isn't even an Msport or M.

    • @SimpleCarGuy
      @SimpleCarGuy  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’ve never installed or used aftermarket ones, so I can’t tel you for sure, but I think as long as they are installed properly and are of good quality, there should be no issues. I would steer away from aftermarket sensors and most plastic parts.

      I guess these aren't strictly 'hidden features', but can be useful for those newer to BMWs or this X5. I guess I could rename the video to "I have read the manual for you and summarized it under 10 minute with some items you may or may not find interesting".
