Great video Brian! Keep the “Hidden Features” coming! I noticed you’ve updated to newer iDrive software despite having a non-LCI F30. Show us how to update our software for the latest iDrive available! Stay safe g!
BMW DIY Guy after i changed my turbo i keep seeing “top up coolant” message that wont go away though i topped the coolant. Cant wait to try this tutorial
Just an FYI to anyone wondering, to activate Launch Control, you must have the Sport Transmission package which is the only way you can get Sport +. Some ways to tell if you have it are if your gauges have red accents inside them and if the base of your shifter is leather. It also includes paddle shifters (M Sport cars do not always have them btw as the inclusion of paddles is strictly based off of the transmission option and not the trim level). I hope this helps!
if you don't have the Sport trans pack, you can get it to work after coding it (for example with bimmercode), pretty easy and the trans feels much crisper in every mode
Bleeding the coolant system for F30 with a B58 is different due to having a mechanical water pump. 1. Seat belt on 2. Ignition on engine off 3. Set hvac temp to max and blower to lowest speed 4. Hold down accelerator pedal for 15 secs 5. Start engine, engine should automatically idle at 1200 rpm 6. When idle drops hold revs to 3500rpm for 15 secs 7. Idle for 30 secs 8. Repeat holding revs to 3500rpm for 15 secs then idle for 30 secs four more times (Total 5 including steps 6 & 7) 9. Let idle for another 10 mins then let engine cool and recheck coolant level
Great video! I've done a lot of the coding but one I recently found was turning off your license plate lights when in reverse! Camera adjusts so much better in the dark and is a huge benefit to those with Alpine White paint!
One hidden feature that I discovered was how to make the headlight washers pop up and spray clean the headlights. You just have to pull and hold the left turn signal stalk toward you and hold for a long time (like at least 6-8 seconds) and they’ll pop up and do their thing.
Great vid. I didn’t even know the f30 was ever available with a digital dash. Also, after owning my 330d for over a year, did I discover that the screen was touch enabled 😂.
Another great video. I really appreciate you helping the rest of us unlock cool features and get the most out of our cars. If you shop was only in Jacksonville it would be perfect. Thanks again. I will support through the online store for now.
I have just changed Transmission fluid on my F30, after 130000km's. The car drives 100% smooth. No jolt at any gear change, at any speed. Drives like a Tesla!
@@MauricioBarragan this is the answer to my question of sport plus mode with DCS fully off. No, you wont be faster as the TC system actually aids in cornering but yes full send drift mode has been unlocked. 2015 228xi Sport
Owned my f30 for about 9 months now, ran my fingers over the radio buttons a hundred times noticing they clearly so something lol. Never took the time to see how it's programmed or actually how useful they could be, now I know. Always found sport displays annoying to access....... Not for much longer lol
Hi Thanks For The Great Vid....If I Reset The Brake Fluid Monitor On The Dash....And I Do The Change On My Own Will BMW Dealer Pick It Up That I Did It Myself?Or Will It Show Done On Their BMW System?Thanks.
Could you please advise how to get the digital speedometer on F30? I had it before but since my last service it disappeared as BMW reset all settings and now they tell me they cant get it back but I think they are talking bs. If you know how I can it back pls help. Thanks
Hi maybe we could help you with this question? i have f30 Xdrive in this moment i use tyres 225/40/19 and 255/35/19 I wanted to put higher tires like 255/45/19 and 255/40/19 won't it hurt that 4x4 Xdrive?:) maybe you have an example of who used such images on the f30 thank you
Brian I have a 2011 i35 x5 what's the piece called up the cup holder to switch the gears called please help I need that part for my truck thanks if you can help
Great video! Can I assume most of these features apply to my 2018 M2 (F87)? Specifically, I should be able to reset my "oil change reminder" after my DIY oil change.
I’m pretty sure you can go into dyno mode with out doing all that in the cluster. Go into sport+ mode while car is running and hold traction control off and then it will say DSC OFF
Will it stay in roller mode (dyno mode) after the car has been started and restarted or will stay until you go through the process and take it back out?
Hi Bryan, If I get rid of my secondary cat and resonator and install a straight pipe instead, can I drive the car without a tune? Or will I get error codes? I have a 2019 m135i which is probably equivalent to a 2020 m235i in US..
Hi there Brian, I am from Recife in Brazil South America, and we really like appreciate all your videos, that you’ve been posting since the beginning of your channel, great initiative and I really appreciate it, because not everybody is open to as being able to tell the truth about parts and even how to put them together, and you have no problems with that, you teach us a lot, all and your channel is an open book great great channel, I hope you stay that way for a long long time, kudos to you man, and when this is done and all, come and visit Brazil one day...🤙🏻
Didn't read all the comments but did you know that the preferences you set on the radio buttons are coded IN THE KEY, I have 2 keys with differents shortcuts on each. (figure that out when i switch keys ang get the old user preferences, and his home phone :-| ) Thnaks for all your nice videos! always something to learn! (Dyno mode!!!)
Men your videos are amazing thanks to you I have been able to do so many things to my 2012 bmw 328i f30 I seen other channels but your tutorials are the best 👌
Bryan, are you familiar with this issue? The trunk on my 2018 340i will, at times, unexpectedly open by itself when I’m away from the vehicle. I know others have this same problem. Some say it’s due to the key fob being in my pocket, and being pressed accidentally. I know this has happened when the key fob is not in my pocket. I’ve had to turn off the truck switch in the glove compartment to assure this doesn’t occur, but that’s very inconvenient. Any thoughts?
If you press and hold the DSC button for 10 secs, it turns off the DSC completely on mine. Is that the same as roller mode? I use this function a lot when it snows!
Today i just make ecu for my car. and it was raining. i try some drift and still something is missing and it was DYNO MODE! THANK YOU. now car totally free. sliding anytime like driving on ice.
God that self bleeding cooling system is a must on every car. I can't tell you how many times I've gone through the long process of attempting to bleed a car. Only for it to overheat and some air bubble is trapped somewhere
Hi What about an error message inspection check with - 280000 servis overdue in 2004, car is bmw f30 2013? How to solve it, it pop after bimmer coeding usual stuff? Tnx
Me: pfft, you can’t teach me anything new.
Brian: GUYS! THERE’S DYNO MODE!
Me: 😮
My thoughts exactly! Also I learned about the coolant thing today
Yeah
Great video Brian! Keep the “Hidden Features” coming! I noticed you’ve updated to newer iDrive software despite having a non-LCI F30. Show us how to update our software for the latest iDrive available! Stay safe g!
The coolant bleed advice timing couldn't be better.. thank you!!
BMW DIY Guy after i changed my turbo i keep seeing “top up coolant” message that wont go away though i topped the coolant. Cant wait to try this tutorial
So do you have to hold the pedal down for the full 12 minutes or you just have to initiate it and 12 minutes later it's done?
@@Specter1031 just to initiate
Just took delivery of my F30 today, thanks for this!

@@jeroentorfs113 Are you talking about xhp or did you really mean bimmercode? I’ve never seen someone flash their transmission with bimmercode.
@@kylesmith9048 I coded mine with bimmercode
If you have the dct Transmission your car automatically comes with paddles and launch control.
The shortcut pre-sets 18 are a god send. I've spent so much time navigating from one thing to another, this has made things so much easier. Thanks

I just got my first bmw and I’ve been watching videos on it and this one was the most helpful one!👌🏼👌🏼
youl could do a test run of the dyno mode on and off - on a real dyno!
Great video! I've done a lot of the coding but one I recently found was turning off your license plate lights when in reverse! Camera adjusts so much better in the dark and is a huge benefit to those with Alpine White paint!
Please inform us mister :) (or link)
This BM has everything... I'm inlove with it
Hooray! I have the LCI for 3 years now and I didn't know about any of these. You made my day with menu shortcuts. THANKS

I’ve owned my F15 for almost 3 years and learned some valuable tips. Awesome!!!!
Have you guys ever done a transmission fluid change, transfer case, or diff frt/rr oil changes?
I have just changed Transmission fluid on my F30, after 130000km's. The car drives 100% smooth. No jolt at any gear change, at any speed. Drives like a Tesla!
Just did this on my manual f82 pretty straight forward just typical bmw covering everything with covers lol
Also wondering? At 96k
It’s hidden if you’re new to BMW ! But there is a lot more if you’re true BMW fan ! You just got the basics!!!!!!
Hi Kies, with the suspension mods on your F30, does it now drive like your F80? or is the F80 miles apart? Thanks!
Hands down, you guys have the BEST channel for BMW's !! After I watched the BootMod video, I was an instant subscriber!
Dyno mode!!!! 🤯🤯
Yeaaa buddy!
Interested to learn about 02 sensors spacers for open downpipe set ups
Yepp
Hey Bryan
I have the same digital display, are there any features that we can code for it?
How much for the display??
So you’re telling me dyno mode is basically the most extreme drift mode 😂
I meeeeeaaaannn facts? 😂

ha, now you know!
How do you have the new I drive for the f30? I have a 2014 f10 535i and I’d like the new idrive , is that possible ?
bimmertech have the system that you can retrofit, normally fitted under the back seats
Alon Babaev www.kiesmotorsports.com/products/bimmertech-nbt-evo?_pos=99&_sid=87723115b&_ss=r&variant=15468557172851
Cool thanks for posting. Love the f30 content!!
Thanks Bryan. Does this also apply tot the f36?
If your car is off you also have parking lights that can be activated for driver or passenger side by holding down the turn signal stalk
Excellent video, one of the most useful vids I've seen for my vehicle.
Thanks Bryan, love these vids, keep up the great work. 435I coming soon.
How did you get the updated bmw idrive in that old car?
Matt Coppola www.kiesmotorsports.com/products/bimmertech-nbt-evo?_pos=99&_sid=87723115b&_ss=r&variant=15468557172851
A lot of money not worth it lol
Matt Coppola you do a little dance 💃
How did you upgrade your I drive, Isn't your F30 pre-lci?
Yep, we sell the kits: th-cam.com/video/Xla9mtiA188/w-d-xo.html
Great video.... can I ask what type of magnetic phone holder you have? ?
Hi Thanks For The Great Vid....If I Reset The Brake Fluid Monitor On The Dash....And I Do The Change On My Own Will BMW Dealer Pick It Up That I Did It Myself?Or Will It Show Done On Their BMW System?Thanks.
I had a E36 and it was way different to coolant bleed the car. I have now a F33 and this helps alot when needed! Thanks!
Hey great video !!
Have 330e when I try to select edrive it’s says not available any idea how to fix this issue . Thanks
Love it man. Absolutely love it. Keep posting hidden features bro
Hidden Feature: you can use a usb drive and put an mp4 video on it to play on your media screen instead of using dvd.
Thanks!!!
Dope!! Thanks 😃
Could you please advise how to get the digital speedometer on F30? I had it before but since my last service it disappeared as BMW reset all settings and now they tell me they cant get it back but I think they are talking bs. If you know how I can it back pls help. Thanks
Hi maybe we could help you with this question? i have f30 Xdrive in this moment i use tyres 225/40/19 and 255/35/19 I wanted to put higher tires like 255/45/19 and 255/40/19 won't it hurt that 4x4 Xdrive?:) maybe you have an example of who used such images on the f30 thank you
Awesome work keep it up 👍🏻
Can you show us how to do an engine coolant replacement?? So bleed whole system and re-fill with new coolant.
Great vids and G'day from Australia
Really useful, thanks. Defo going to put 'get me home' onto one of the radio buttons
Brian I have a 2011 i35 x5 what's the piece called up the cup holder to switch the gears called please help I need that part for my truck thanks if you can help

Kies out here saving lives 🙌
Hi Kies! What if you have a 6 speed?
With all 4 DINAN stages? Thanks
What screen upgrade do you have?? I want one!!
Once again, you the man Bryan! Great tips, thanks! 😁👍👍
Nice work Brian, thanks. I hope all that stuff works on my F10 LCI - still learning!
Hey does this stuff work on my 2014 328d(diesel) XDrive F30?
Thanks in advance!
I had no idea about the coolant. I recently added some, but didn't do this... always do your research!
I’m pretty sure you can go into dyno mode with out doing all that in the cluster. Go into sport+ mode while car is running and hold traction control off and then it will say DSC OFF
Are theses features works also on 330e plug in hybrid?
Hey Brian.
quick question, what year is your F30?
Good work bro, love the content!!!
Hey Brian, can you run through the window regulator calibration on the F30 ? My rear passenger window is stuck in the notching up and down mode.
Where did you get that nice flat bottom steering wheel from ?
I want that gauge cluster in my f30? How would I go about it.
We have them on our site, www.kiesmotorsports.com 👍
Whoa LAUNCH CONTROL.. the front end came WAY UP?!?! Thanks!
Great tricks! Just a pity that I've sold my F30. Do you have any tricks or plans to modify or do things in the G20? It would be very useful!
This guy is cool, always good videos with nice music and editing.
Will it stay in roller mode (dyno mode) after the car has been started and restarted or will stay until you go through the process and take it back out?
As a bmw genius I should make a vid like this! Excellent work
Thank you very much for making this video.
Hi! What suspension is on the blue f30? Thanks in advance
Hi Bryan, If I get rid of my secondary cat and resonator and install a straight pipe instead, can I drive the car without a tune? Or will I get error codes? I have a 2019 m135i which is probably equivalent to a 2020 m235i in US..
Hey Brian, what size wheels do you have and what is the tyre profile
@Kies Motorsports where can i get that steering wheel on aftermarket?? need this in my life!
Thx Brian
Can you insert a new image in the NBT Navigation in the menu "My Vehicle"? So that it shows a BMW with M sport package i.e.?
Sooo can we use roller mode to do a little smokey circle?🧐
Any links for the Digital KMOBI and upgraded headunit software?
Thanks.
Might as well ask here, can i use a manual (no paddle) wheel on my AT f32? Please and thank you
Hey I have a question what do I need to put in a back up camera I have a 2011 328 1 e90 please let me know asap
That blue BMW is Super hot. Congrats man
Does dyno mode turn off the 130 mph cap? I hate losing power at 130 on my 335i xDrive
I’m not sure if anyone can answer this but is it possible to have your dash go to 200 instead 160?
OMG MAN!! that steering wheel😱
These are all so helpful and to the point, thanks again

Awesome videos ! Cheers from France
Wait, Dyno mode? I have a 2011 f10 535 xdrive. Does Dyno mode work for that?
How did you change your I drive menu screen to where it scrolls left and right?
I did an ID6 NBT EVO Retrofit a while back :)
Kies Motorsports thanks for the reply I’ll look into it
I finally connected phone, but it doesn't play media is this normal? Or just limited by phone
Hi good job
And If possible help me to upgrade my car bmw f22 to stage 1 and tanks
Today i just make ecu for my car. and it was raining. i try some drift and still something is missing and it was DYNO MODE! THANK YOU. now car totally free. sliding anytime like driving on ice.
thank god this helped me remove the annoying brake fluid maintenance notification as I just did it lol
