Highly informative video, and I'm a guy who's on his eighth straight Bimmer (including three European Deliveries and last year a Performance Delivery to pick up my M3 Comp.). Keep up the good work, and it seems like you're serving in the military? I'm a retired Air Force Vet - enjoy yourself because it goes by so fast. Stay safe/smart out there...
Ordered my x3 on July 4th. Just got the notification she's on the delivery truck. Your videos are helping me ease the pain of waiting lol. Thank you for all your detailed videos
Thank you for this video, your BMW has a space saver spare tire? I thought BMWs dont have spare tires? is this spare tire only available on 2022 models? or is it possible to have it on a 2020 model. Thank you again.
My bmw is equipped with the optional space saver spare. The specifications for these pandemic vehicles changes month to month so I’m not sure what the availability is but it has been available on all G series X3s to my knowledge.
Great video Ramone!!! Thank you for sharing! We just leased a 2023 X6 and I am going to see if if some of your tips and methods to get into the service menus work on our car. the car filler is exactly the same as is the side mirrors using the button to tilt the keep the passenger side mirror from tilting down in reverse. Discovered this trick on our Subaru Forester and Mini Countryman as well. One other neat trick on this new BMW to bypass the start/stop function is to put the vehicle in sport mode.. If you still want to drive in comfort mode but do not want the start/stop function, you can go into the sport mode menu and set the driving to comfort. A very neat work around without any special programming. QUESTION: Do you know if you can get into a service menu that shows battery voltage? Reason I ask is that our battery had a significant overnight discharge from what we believe was from accidentally leaving the NFC Ingnition/Lock card on the wireless charger overnight. Caused major system issues when we started the car the next morning here in cold Ohio. Almost had to have it towed in to the dealer but was able to make it by driving the car in with fingers crossed. I ended up purchasing a CTEK battery charger which is the manufacturer that makes the BMW battery charger. the only difference is that the BMW charger has an additional option for charging LiON batteries which our vehicle does not have. We have the original AGM flat plate BMW battery. FWIW, we also have 2 Mini Coopers. 1 2016 convertible and a 2022 Mini Countryman. We really enjoy the Mini/BMW brand. Thanks for any additional info on possibly entering a service menu that indicates battery voltage.
your best bet would be to get an OBD scan tool most if not all shows your battery voltage and you can run test on the battery as well. I’ve been trying to find a menu within my car unfortunately no luck and I’ve had a similar issue my car died one morning even the key fob was useless but my local dealer sent a bmw genius to get it running
I'm just wondering how you got that Alpina instrument cluster on an X3 30i? Also, you don't have to go through the process of turning on and off the ignition in order to do the wiper blades any more, you just hold down the arm and it will lock in place after two full wipes.
@@RAMONEAuto I think your metrics will show I only watched about 10% of it. That's 1 second between each 10 second skip, you cheap scamming click bait wanker
Did you know any of these hidden features?
@@S4T4NL0V3SU don’t be click baiting and advertising on my video
Man, it looks like copied 1:1... same sequence of tricks, not trying to be a dick. It just looks like it is
@@RAMONEAuto You can delete his junk comment.
All but the diagnostic mode! Thanks!
Every BMW since my 1987 E30 has had a place to hold the gas cap while refueling. It took me a few years to realize that. Great video.

Great video! I didn't know about the extra trunk storage or the hidden menu.

Great to hear! congrats on the new Bimmer! what spec did you go for?
@@RAMONEAuto xdrive, alpine white, Tacora red interior, remote start, Nav pro. & 21inch y-spoke rims
Thanks for the knowledge.
You bet!
Great video!!! Did not know those features was there without this video! Pretty dope man 💯💯💯
Thanks for filming 😍
There are like some plastic rails next to the cargo cover, do you know what they are for?
Thanks for the infor i just got a 3x im still learning it...I notice military are u?
super interesting, I am curious to know more about this hidden menu ;) Btw, how come you have an Alpina Hud on a X3 :D
How do you program a new remote? I have the same X3 as you. Thanks!🙏
After the cargo cover is removed, where can it be stored out of the way? It supposed to be underneath the mat by where the spare tire is.
If you have the full size spare, there’s no space to fit the cargo cover. If you have the regular trunk then it would tuck away under the cargo floor
Great video, thanks for the tips! Ordering my first BMW this week - excited!
Excellent video, Can I change the seatbelt reminder BONGS from any of the menu ?
I believe it’s the seat module or the head unit. Most BimmerCode options changed with their latest update but yes you can
last trick is really useful
Tx Ramone for the class 🙏👌
No prob

How did you get the green status bar for gas and water temp on the dash?
I coded the Alpina graphics onto the live cockpit
The spare tire you have to purchase it separately! I just got my X3 2023 it doesn’t have it
It’s optional have to be factory ordered
Cool stuff - many that I did not know about.

It’s a 30i and I coded it using bimmer code
@@RAMONEAuto Nice! I had the non-LCI M40i, X3 is a nice car. I now have the X5 40i with similar colors, nice looking ride you have!
@@prhawkeye It’s such a great vehicle with a new born
@@RAMONEAuto I’d be worried that using one of those after-market coding devices, etc, could compromise or void the warranty.
@@Nutwigg1 it doesn’t
Great video
Preciate it
Learned something new. Thanks Ramone!
My pleasure
Those were helpful! Thanks🤗
You're so welcome!
Thank you, Good video!!
Glad you liked it!
Hi why is your dashboard is nice color and they’re different color
How did you do that ?
I coded the Alpina dash on it
I wash it with the wipers down, i had given up tryna lift them😂😅
Well now you know how to get em up 😂
@@RAMONEAuto does it work the same with the 2019 520d M sport?
@@njabulosibiya6578 yes
Did you bought the spare tire?
Yes
Nice!!! I bought the black grill thanks to your video! Keep the good work!
@@rosefigueroa0023 awesome! I bet it looks much better
@@RAMONEAuto yes a lot better and I powder-coating the rims in gloss black and is a huge difference I will put a short soon!
Can't watch, you say ummmm way too much! Know what you're going to say and say it.
@@erikhoffmann6073 then don’t watch it! I’d like to see your video
Copied
99% useless click bait. Video could be 30 seconds long to be what it advertised without all the rubbish that's obvious and widely known.
Ha! You watched it tho

@@brygry look at the rest of the comments I’m sure it will show you’re less than a fiber of hair compared to others that found it useful
@@RAMONEAuto I mean, what we could read from this is that most of your viewers who liked it and found this useful are pretty basic. Simple even.
