My favorite hidden feature is the little stick/column on the left side of the steering wheel. It's actually this nifty thing that allows other drivers to know when you want to turn
You forgot one of the hidden features that I use during the summer time when it's really hot. If you hold down the unlock button on your remote for about 10 to 15 seconds all the windows will roll down and then your moonroof. Great for airing the car out quickly on a hot day.
Just unlocked your doors then hold the unlock botton on your keyfob. After a given amount of time it will start to roll down the windows starting with the front and then the back and finally the sunroof if you have one.
I love this feature. Double hit the unlock button and hold it down! If you have the fold in mirrors, those will fold back out too. Its like wstching a flower open up
The rear view mirror in your car is self dimming using electro-chromatic technology. There is a sensor in the mirror toward the front of the car, you can see a window that covers it, that detects whether it’s light out or not. A second sensor is behind the mirror glass pointing toward the rear of the vehicle to detect headlights behind you. If the front sensor detects night time, and the rear sensor detects headlight glare, it automatically dims the mirror to an optimum level. You can check the system during the day by putting your finger over the front facing sensor and shining a flashlight at the top center of the mirror. It will gradually go dark. The ones that have a turning clown nose are prism mirror that have two reflective surfaces. I hope I’m not repeating something. But I scrolled thru most of the comments to check. Take care and thanks for sharing.
In addition: the clown nose is the alarm indicator. When you lock the car it will flash. This is also how you know the car is equipped with an alarm system.
Another feature on your car is,if it is frozen and you want to warm it up while not in the car,you can put the key in the ignition,start it up for 3 sec,turn off the ignition,remove the key then push the start button again without the key in the ignition then get out of the car and lock it while it is running to defrost the front windscreen on de-mist
My favorite feature on my 335i is on the auto transmission in D or S you can take you foot and give a fast stab at the gas pedal and it will down shift you transmission a gear and you can even do it fast twice and it will down shift from like 5th to 3rd.its a very cool option
@@ar568 Hes not talking about the kickdown. Hes talking about blipping the throttle maybe 3mm down, it downshifts for you, so you have more power transition through cornering.
Another cool feature... when you use your FOB to unlock your car, and keep your unlock button pressed, it will lower your front and rear windows, followed by your sunroof, thereby allowing you to let go of the heat build-up inside your car before you sit there!
Hey man, you have a lotta bmw knowledge! I've had Beamers for 20 years and it took me ages to learn all this stuff. I don't think I ever knew about the reindeer nose, although I always wondered what the heck it was. The one secret feature you forgot was opening and closing all the windows using the remote (while out of the car, press and hold down the lock / unlock button to close / open all windows and sunroof) OR the key in the door (turn the key and extra step to the right and hold). If you haven't seen it before, prepare to be amazed! Anyway, great job really enjoyed your video.
Thanks for the video. I've found that side mirror function is really useful. It's a great way to ensure no curbing mistakes on your wheels. there's a reason the owners manual is pretty thick. It's really worth reading.
I didnt bother because: 1. My BMW was bought used from Germany and it had German manual 2. I looked trough the English PDF version and it was still garbage compared to some car manuals.
The red bulb or lens on the center mirror is a IR remote receiver for your keyfob. Most mirrors self adjust to bright headlights behind you so no manual adjustment needed. Also the auto unlock feature with key insertion can be programmed out by the dealer or do it your self with a laptop, software, and proper USB/OBDII cable. Also if you purchase one with only one keyfob you can purchase new ones on line and also a programmer for the immobilizer for much cheaper than the dealer charges. I had to do this for an Audi I purchased. It only cost me $40 for two new keyfobs with immo chip, $25 to have key cut, and $100 for programmer.
Same with up, hold the lock button when you lock your car...doesn't work if you lock and then try to hold the button again, has to be unlocked and then locked and held until the window roll up.
Also if you insert the key in the door and hold either lock or unlock it will open or close all the windows. Will also close moon roof if you have that open. BMW has been doing that for many years, even on older models.
Can't believe you missed the coolest feature of all. There's a secret/hidden DC power adaptor underneath the glove box on the passenger side. You kind of have to get on the ground and look up to find it the first time. It's in a perfect spot for radar detectors, or other things that need power while driving.
@@brendacalderon9445 Lie down on your back in the passenger footwell with a flashlight and look up. You’ll find it. It’s under the dash on the passenger side.
it's staggering really! i bet nobody here knows you're not supposed to warm up your car for 20 mins, or what follow me home lights are.. or the splendor of the stratification knob
The inside of your center console has a 1-0 switch for cooling your beverage and what not. A black switch next to the cup holder. Literally found that out a week ago 😂
😂 I’ve had my car since 2011 and I only found out a few days ago from another TH-cam video. Mine had been on since 2011 and I immediately switched it off after realising. The off button is not that obvious. I’d always wondered why cold air was coming through the console and just thought there was a leak somewhere
For the reverse parking mirror tilting down, push the mirror control button to driver side. for those driving on the right side it needs to be on the right.
One thing I didn't see you mention is the rear fog lamps. The button is enabled for Europe, but for the US there doesn't appear to be a rear fog lamp option. ALL of the switches have the rear fog lamp, however. If you pull the switch out, you'll find a set of "stand off" feet that keep the fog lamp button from being depressed. Shaving those feet off will re-enable the rear fog lamps.
Hey guys, nice info on the beemers, and another cool feature I don't think i saw listed is this. I've got a 13, 335i, and When you put your remote into the slot holder at start up, it is actually Charging the battery in the Remote while the car is in motion. And what i do is alternate the remotes like every month to Keep a nice charge in both of them. Thanks for the other tips you guys have been posting.
Thanks Nour loved your video i came up with your video and just when i bought a 320i too, i try all these features tomorrow.... Great video keep them coming buddy.
One of the best features I like about my 11 335i is the driver seat adjustment. You can widen the back support pads to feel like you're driving a van or narrow it and it feels like a recaro racing seat. I can't imagine what features a brand new Bmw have. I'm a 280lb dude and having widen seat can get me a comfortable drive or narrow it on some weekend canyon runs.
The mirror dip only works on foldable mirrors, because those are controlled via LIN bus, while ordinary heated power mirrors are controlled directly by the junction box
03:00 I have a 2006 E90 and i found this out 5 years after owning the car. I still don't 100% understand how it works. It seems to point the mirror down so you're looking at your back seat but you can still see through the rear view mirror. This dims any high beams or even a sunrise or sunset that is shinning directly into your eyes. This works day or night but i only use it briefly when i experience any bright lights.
Hey mate. It is because you have the 330i with iDrive package you have so many features. My 325i without iDrive doesn't have those features you showed. cheers
Most US cars are full on options ... While most European built cars are very low on options. That is because in Europe, we pay for you guys driving around cheap, full option cars. But, there's one good thing about it, since most US Beemers have auto-gearboxes, which is the one option you should not have. Well, not on a BM.
I have had 4 BMWs and I'm clueless on most of those things you mentioned. Thank you very much. R ed nose under the rear view? I would ask, what is that? Thanks bro.
You can leave your doors open and lock the door. If anyone puts their hand in the car the motion sensor will set off the alarm. Happens to me on accident all the time in the summer it’s pretty cool
idk if my 2010 335xi sedan had any of those gadets, i bought it from an auction and prettymuch everything that was in it was taken out and kept by the owner, no floor mats, no sticker price, no owners manual, only one key, no wheel lock key to get the wheel locks off and a bunch of other stuff.
If this comment gets 100 likes ill be buying a m-bumper. Ill be showing you guys the full process of installing, painting and all costs. Also might have to drill pdc holes. Let me know
dam that was quick. Well, im a man of my word, what m part would you guys like to see first on my car. M-side fenders, bumper, skirts, or hood. If bumper which one.
The passenger mirror has always been a pain in the ass for me when I go to reverse. The mirror faces downward so thanks for this clip. It's very helpful. Awesome job!
BMW also adjust it's engine or (adaptive transmission for manual) to the driver's driving behavior (Average speed). If you buy a BMW, you can reset the previous driver's data by inserting the key (Do not turn ignition on) and press & gas for 60 seconds.
The passenger side mirror tilts down when the control is in the left position to help with parallel parking, it keeps you from scraping your wheels on the curb. if you were to reverse into a parking spot at the mall with the mirror in that position, it would be harder to see. You are to switch over to the right position on the mirror control to reverse into a parking spot, or garage, etc.
The Memory Function works with your radio too.. It even gives you the last mp3 you were listening to. Very useful when 2 people are using it.. Both my BMWs have this function..
2:54 i have a 06 m sport and it does when i turn it so idk if mines special but i also never had a different mirror put on so maybe mines a bit special or ur wrong
Just remembered something else, the vent holes for the dash blower motor are on the side of the center console next to where the glovebox is. The engineers did not think to put any kind of grate or screen over those holes so if your A/C or heat are set to high and the fan is blowing at max speed DO NOT OPEN YOUR GLOVEBOX! This happened to me when a friend was riding with me, he had put some paper napkins in the glovebox and the A/C was blasting, a little later he went to take one out and when he opened the glove the blower motor sucked in the napkins. That was a world of pain, could not use the A/C and it was over $600 to get them out and warranty did not cover it. I argued till I was blue in the face that it was a fault of BMW for not covering those huge vent holes with some sort of grate or screen, or warning you not to put lightweight things in your glovebox, but they denied that. In some states where the registration is smaller and very light it will suck in your car registration then you are doubly screwed since if you have been asked for that by a cop and it goes into your blower instead he is not going to be happy.
Nour Hummadi I got a 2004 e 60 530i and it's exactly the same , the joys of California 80 normal speed of traffic out here in la when it's not a parking lot of traffic on the freeway ha
Great video. I wasn't aware of the keys learning individual comfort access settings. Also, just in case it hasn't already been pointed out: VALET is pronounced: VAH-LAY Just for future reference. Keep up the great work!
Great job. I learned some new things-without reading all of the extremely verbose manual. Some folks prefer the visual presentation. To those who posted snarky comments, if you learned nothing new, be quietly smug and let others discover a few new things. Also, “valet” can be pronounced, “ Val-let” as per the British.
@@bitsandpiecesonly6462 New ones do. Some of can't afford new ones. Some used cars do not have manuals leave alone service history. Leave us alone. Let us watch. They help us.
@@jonluberio5109 No need, the small key is to get inside the car. The key charges when inserted/while driving. So if it had no power, it will get it when you insert it and the car will start.
Thanks for the info, the 2006 z4 Roadster that I purchased from a used dealership did not come with the owners manual... I actually learned things I didn’t know before watching your video...
Thanks my friend for sharing this and don't worry about the brainwashed folks who are being critical of you, you are doing a positive service to us BMW owners so that we become more familiar with our cars. Keep doing you and don't sweat those who are here to Hate.
Exactly! Because I'm contemplating buying one, and I don't plan on downloading a pdf owners manual, or wasting gas going to a dealership before I get a little insight. I love TH-cam. #superinformative
330d on 2009 and I absolutely love it, no issues apart from frying tyres but that's my own fault. Engine is bullet proof but not all bmw engines are. Do as much research as you can would be my advice
Great video, someone lost a fob, a valet key, the toe ring out the back and I made the dealer get me an owners manual from another BMW. Where to get the tow ring?
I would go to Bmw to get the official tow ring, or get it somewhere else. Make sure its oem because if its not and you need to be towed your car will disconnect and fall back.
Fantastic I have just bought a 2006 , 530i trying to understand all the features, I'm very old so have troubles With all the technology. Learned much, thank you
i am thinking about buying an e93 for myself, this video helped me a lot to know more about what to look for in damages and overpriced vehicules thank you
Mine always messes up this profile function after my husband drives it. He’s 6’4 and I’m 5’4. It’s frustrating for both of us. I’m guessing worse for him because he can’t fit in seat my profile. 2016 335i
What model and year is your BMW? I have 2016 528i with Msport and 428i 2015 convertible. I don't know all the features. I only drive it,but not familiar with all the features. I love the traction on it.
Good video. The "valet key" is plastic. That's the key you zip into your pants pocket when you go fishing/wading/swimming, locking your electronic (and water sensitive and very expensive fob) in the glove box. When you come back to the car, you simply use the plastic key to get back in the car, unlock the glove box, get your fob, and off you go.
Nour Hummadi it's part of the tech package lol...do you have your manual or at least the CD that goes with it? This is all listed in the manual lol and they're carry over features from the E46
No, the right side mirror thing comes with the electric mirror folding. Yes, the electric mirror folding is an option! I know cause I know a lot of new beemers that needs hands to fold mirrors.
My favorite hidden feature is the little stick/column on the left side of the steering wheel. It's actually this nifty thing that allows other drivers to know when you want to turn
Ryan Ristau never herd of it!

that might come as shock to all bmw owners
I can see the stick but when I'm driving it vanishes. Can you do an instructional video on this secret hidden feature?

This happened to me when a friend was riding with me, he had put some paper napkins in the glovebox and the A/C was blasting, a little later he went to take one out and when he opened the glove the blower motor sucked in the napkins. That was a world of pain, could not use the A/C and it was over $600 to get them out and warranty did not cover it. I argued till I was blue in the face that it was a fault of BMW for not covering those huge vent holes with some sort of grate or screen, or warning you not to put lightweight things in your glovebox, but they denied that. In some states where the registration is smaller and very light it will suck in your car registration then you are doubly screwed since if you have been asked for that by a cop and it goes into your blower instead he is not going to be happy.
I had no idea! Thank you Nour for being informative. I love my Bima and glad to learn more features. Good work!!!
np man thank you :)
How about them not telling anyone that the cars come with blinkers
esesmokeybear savage 😂.
Haha I love my bimmer though. Just didn't know it had the optional blinker package :D
esesmokeybear me either. My car for some reason only gets decent gas mileage around 80mph. So I decided that's what I'm going to do
Nour Hummadi I got a 2004 e 60 530i and it's exactly the same , the joys of California 80 normal speed of traffic out here in la when it's not a parking lot of traffic on the freeway ha
lol
Good video bro. Found a few bits out watching this
Great video. I wasn't aware of the keys learning individual comfort access settings.
Also, just in case it hasn't already been pointed out: VALET is pronounced: VAH-LAY Just for future reference.
Keep up the great work!
Chuck Lee thanks
Thanks for this video I'm a new Bmw owner and you helped out alot ✌️
YO 3 MILLION VIEWS
Nice Video and thanks for showing the hidden features.
Abdul Rehman np
There are a total of 10 memory slots for 10 different keys. Depending how each key fob, the radio's station preset will change too.
I'm looking at getting a BMW 520D and this video really helped me decide
Oldie but goodie! Gotta love the cool stuff that no one really checks out 😀
:)
Nour Hummadi
which model do you have
aez Scorpion 330i
aez Scorpion E90 335i
BMW Fanatic I am trying to get an 335i e92
I cannot find that key fob you have in your glove compartment. can you tell me what it is? when I googled it all I saw was key fobs
Great job. I learned some new things-without reading all of the extremely verbose manual. Some folks prefer the visual presentation. To those who posted snarky comments, if you learned nothing new, be quietly smug and let others discover a few new things. Also, “valet” can be pronounced, “ Val-let” as per the British.
I need to know how u got the mirrors to fold up on a 2006 bmw 750li so I can use that feature
How do I get the driver side seat to move up cause it's too low ?
Yes!! BMW hides these features in the Glove Box, near the Owners Manual
Lol 😂 seriously i agree ! There is NOTHING hidden at all. Its all just features available for the owners and are clearly stated in the manual.
Lmao
Not every car has a manual. And some manuals don't have those futures.
@@jonluberio5109 every car has owner manual. Even dildos have manuals !!!
@@bitsandpiecesonly6462 New ones do. Some of can't afford new ones. Some used cars do not have manuals leave alone service history. Leave us alone. Let us watch. They help us.
Good Video mate ... learnt a few more things today.
there is another manual key built into the key fob, one of the corners pulls out, in case all power dies you can still get access
But can it start the car?
@@jonluberio5109 No need, the small key is to get inside the car. The key charges when inserted/while driving. So if it had no power, it will get it when you insert it and the car will start.
Jon Luberio you take off the cap on the push start button, yes
@@freshwaterjay8897 there's an ignition slot under the start button?? damn i didnt know that im gonna try that out
Thanks for the info, the 2006 z4 Roadster that I purchased from a used dealership did not come with the owners manual... I actually learned things I didn’t know before watching your video...
You can as well download an owner's manual over the internet. A pdf format is available.
Thanks my friend for sharing this and don't worry about the brainwashed folks who are being critical of you, you are doing a positive service to us BMW owners so that we become more familiar with our cars. Keep doing you and don't sweat those who are here to Hate.
thanks man
he's right.. ignore those heartless bmw owners.. tnx for ur time.. not all people likes to read pages of manual haha
yes,Thanks.
thanks Bro
Exactly! Because I'm contemplating buying one, and I don't plan on downloading a pdf owners manual, or wasting gas going to a dealership before I get a little insight. I love TH-cam. #superinformative
Very informational for me. My question is... are there models sold here in the US that equal the 60 model that you presented to us in the video?
Thanks for making this video - I am on my second BMW and never knew the purpose of the rudolf nose! Great video!
Ya I've always been afraid to mess with it because red=bad, I'll have to try it tomorrow.
I have 2008 Bmw 328i E90 Convertible this video is helpful 👍🏽
Can someone tell me how they’re liking their bmw’s? I’m thinking of getting one.
Love mine but can't lie it's pricey.
330d on 2009 and I absolutely love it, no issues apart from frying tyres but that's my own fault. Engine is bullet proof but not all bmw engines are. Do as much research as you can would be my advice
Just got my new BMW and love finding out about all the features!!
Just so you know, everything you covered is actually in the Owners Manual 😊
prolly 50% of owners let the manual collect dust
Zoran C. True and I've read it! Tho video format is easier and reminds you more than written!
Zoran C. Who does dat shit
I bought mine used and it didn’t come with one. This is useful for people like myself
I'd be surprised it that many get read.
Great video, someone lost a fob, a valet key, the toe ring out the back and I made the dealer get me an owners manual from another BMW. Where to get the tow ring?
I would go to Bmw to get the official tow ring, or get it somewhere else. Make sure its oem because if its not and you need to be towed your car will disconnect and fall back.
Oh wow, thanks for that information.
Aussie girls in Florida np
The key memory function was implemented in e39 first i think, also the reverse side-mirror function.
I have an e38 7 series and mine does that
E38
E39 has Key memory and mirror functions
Fantastic I have just bought a 2006 , 530i trying to understand all the features, I'm very old so have troubles
With all the technology. Learned much, thank you
the most interesting hidden feature for a BMW is that it finds its way back to the dealership every month of the year.
NICE VIDEO AND NICE BROWS BRO
Seems like you don't know that there is a "spare key" inside the actually key, used for when there's no power.
Or if you have power but your car decides it wants a new battery and starts disabling certain features like the central locking or the defroster.
i am thinking about buying an e93 for myself, this video helped me a lot to know more about what to look for in damages and overpriced vehicules thank you
Don't forget the keepwarm (or "Rest") button on the dash.
Ok, what button?
Kenneth Chafey I meant the rest button.
WOW MAN, thanks for all of this new info that I seriously didn't know about
I mean if you got the Owners Manual you'd know these Features and functions of your Sedan. You can D/L it also from BMW for your used ride.
This video is pretty old but I can’t open my rear seat armrest for some reason on my 2004 530i
When you unlock the door with a kfob it will adjust the seats to the last driver with that kflob.
Mine always messes up this profile function after my husband drives it. He’s 6’4 and I’m 5’4. It’s frustrating for both of us. I’m guessing worse for him because he can’t fit in seat my profile. 2016 335i
What model and year is your BMW? I have 2016 528i with Msport and 428i 2015 convertible. I don't know all the features. I only drive it,but not familiar with all the features. I love the traction on it.
I have a X5 and I just found out that when I open my car with my key and hold it for 4 sec or so all the windows come down! I was so happy!
If you program your home link buttons you could ditch that garage door opener on your passenger side sun visor.
00:47 thanks a bunch for that! I was starting to think the side mirror feature on my e92 was broken. guess it was just a matter of side selection :p
Marlind Farka I got you 🙏
Nour Hummadi hehe thnx 🙋👍
bmw radiator over flow tank removeal
I thought the same shit lol
Good video. The "valet key" is plastic. That's the key you zip into your pants pocket when you go fishing/wading/swimming, locking your electronic (and water sensitive and very expensive fob) in the glove box. When you come back to the car, you simply use the plastic key to get back in the car, unlock the glove box, get your fob, and off you go.
BMW have been putting a torch/flashlight in their cars for decades.

My 328i convertible doesn't have the valet key or the flashlight.
Thanks man, just got my 2012 528i. Havent had time to read it all
When you enter inside bmw you become hidden just close your eyes,amazing
I'm gonna try that
Nour has gone through a major transformation in five years!🤯
side mirror function requires memory seats
i have no package in my car. Its also a 2006, all e90s i have ever seen have side mirror functions
It´s still an option you have to order when new.
You´ll get it with the folding mirrors package.
Nour Hummadi it's part of the tech package lol...do you have your manual or at least the CD that goes with it? This is all listed in the manual lol and they're carry over features from the E46
No, the right side mirror thing comes with the electric mirror folding. Yes, the electric mirror folding is an option! I know cause I know a lot of new beemers that needs hands to fold mirrors.
Well i have Bmw e90 M sport 2008 and the function with the mirror dosent work ! Help?
Thank you brother. Just radomly found your video
Valet... The t is silent.
I own a 2106 550i so some of this doesn't apply but I did learn a couple things...thanks dude.
You forgot to show the hidden key inside the fob ;) nice vid tho
Look for the corner of the fob. Look for the little gap in the plastic. Pull out key. It’s just a small piece compared to fob.
