Oh yeah that little bubble on the rear view mirror is the housing for the security light and when you twist it to the left, goes to dark mode so you can avoided being blinded by headlights behind you at night.
2:40 that mesh pocket is for storing the cup holder cover. Later year models do not come with a cup holder cover because instead there is a sliding panel over the cup holder. 7:52 that little thing below the rear mirror is actually the alarm indicator light. It flashes when the alarm is armed but you need to have the alarm option.
That knob on the mirror is to move your mirror up/down when someone behind you has their brights on...you can move it by turning the knob.. It is also used as an indicator to show that the car is locked
@M U, the dimming feature is inserted in the top centre of the mirror itself, you're right for manually dimming though, if there's a blinking led inside, it means the car alarm is active
I unlocked my DVD system, put in a 4tb external HDD in the cubby between driver and passenger, now my daughter can watch all her favorite shows/movies/music. MP3/WAV/OGG/MP4/MKV/MOV/AVI/MPG/DivX etc. It will play just about ANY media format. Great for long road trips. And no, I do not feel any need to look at it while driving. It is illegal in most states, so if you get pulled over: disconnect the USB drive (cop may think you are reaching for something tho), or press a button to change the screen to a menu item so you don't get a ticket. With the split screen I can have my navigation in one window (right) and she can watch something on the left. I highly suggest buying the "BimmerCode" app for your phone and a WiFi adapter for your OBD2 port. You can program so much in your BMW. There are SO MANY cool features BMW doesn't program into your car than can be changed and changed back within minutes.
So the clear dome sticking out from under the mirror is not the light sensor for the auto dimming mirrors as may people are incorrectly pointing out. It is actually the interior motion sensor for the cars security system as well as where the led indicator that shows that the system is armed. On cars without auto dimming twisting the dome will activate the mechanical dimming. The light sensor for the auto dimming feature is in the upper middle on the glass of the mirror.
The plastic dome under the rearview mirror flashes when the car is locked. Also, if you want to turn motion detection for the alarm system, after you exit the vehicle and press the lock button, press it one more time. That dome will light up one more to tell you it's off. I do it sometimes when I leave my dog in the vehicle. However, don't leave your dog in the car for too long, and NEVER leave your dog in the car when in direct sunlight, or in warm temperatures!
Those preset buttons aren't just music presets they can be set to a wide range of things like audio mode, phone calls, nav destinations, etc. They used to only be radio presets so they have been incorrectly branded that way forever.
How do u activate active cruise control on f30? I see the light on the Dashboard but there is no button to activate it and help? Its a 2013 f30 328i 2.0 twinTurbo
The 1-8 buttons that you were using can save almost anything. whether it be phone numbers, addresses, radio stations ETC ETC. you dont have to save the radio stations to that button that is why the presets feature ( that you can find in radio is there. It can be used to save of to 40 of your favorite stations from FM to AM to Satellite Radio ( if you have satellite). then once you've saved the stations you can just save the whole preset list to any of those buttons and whenever you want to open your presets you can just press the selected button you have for it and it reveal all of your favorite stations that you saved.
Killer Inst1ncz it’s not through the settings you just highlight whatever you want to save and hold whichever button you want to save ( for example 1) until you hear a ping at the end showing you that whatever you saved was programmed
Hi Nour, that little lever on the rearview mirrow tilt it up so deflects most of the high beam from incoming vehicles at the night.. so you still can see the rear of the road without the high beam low your visibility.. Cheers from Brazil mate! Nice content!
I tried putting my foot under the trunk multiple times to make it open, but doesn't work on my F30. Am i doing something wrong? Also where did you buy those carbon fiber mirror caps at? Would love to get a pair of those asap. Those are bada**!
Light bulb under the mirror for your alarm to check if you lock you car. Ligh bulb is flashing every 10 sec approximately. On UK specification the light is red colour.
The thing under your rear view mirror is the car alarm system light. If the is ON that means the alarm is ON! But on my f30 I don't have the alarm so that one I have is for the rear view light blank spot hiding thing!
The thing on your rear view mirror is to stop you getting blinded from drivers behind you. You twist it and your mirror moves down and dims the lights behind you
The thing underneath the rearview mirror is for your windshield wipers in rain sensing mode to automatically control the wipers. Pretty cool -FBO 435i GC
Omg, your are incredible smart and your car have to be from the future, can you please do a tutorial how the steering wheel works, turning left is easy, perhaps did we miss to order som special function, do you know if it’s possible to retro fit the ability to turn right?
Contrary to the previous statement, the feature on the bottom of the mirror is not the high beam assistant. That's something that is referred to as the clown nose and it goes all the way back to the E46. It's just a light that blinks when your alarm is on. High beam assistant is on the back of the mirror.
Just for more information, the mirror tilt, requires your mirrors to have power folding mirrors, the door handle lights sometimes will be coded off, to enable is you’ll need experience in bimmercode or e sys, video in motion is another one of the coding options ins bimmercode and esys, the window rolling up and down is possible to roll it up, on older vehicles you hold down the lock button, newer models your required to use the keyless lock and hold your hand on top of the grooved lines on the handle, the windows should roll up after around 5 seconds, the action that he did was called re-initialization, and can be done for all windows if they won’t automatically go all the way down when you press it down fully, you do this (on most not all cars) by pressing the window switch down, and hold it for 5-10 seconds, next pull and hold up for 5-10 seconds, that should fix it, to initiate bmws coolant bleed you set your heater to max with ignition on, and press the accelerator to the floor past the small blip of resistance hold it for a short time and the water pump will begin to run, and because he mentioned the cigarette lighter under the dash, here’s another kinda hidden/vehicle specific thing, in the glove box on the upper right, there will be a USB port, keep in mind this is only for bmws with a nbt evo unit installed (any bmw that is model year 2016 or newer)
Seems around half these "hidden features" are optional extras. The "cargo net thing" in the glove box is for storing the cup holder cover. I kept waiting for something interesting to come up, but to no avail. ...
You can deactivate the internal montion sensor by pressing the lock button on the remote a second time within 10 seconds - internal red LED will go out on the mirror although the alarm will still be on. It also deactivates the tilt sensor. So if you're leaving your dog in the car (safely) you can do so without it setting off the alarm but still protect it from break-in.
hey i have a question, what about inside headlights, i thought it was high beam, but it is not, there are 2 headlights both side, (close to kidney grill both inside headlights)
The light next to the programmable garage door opener when the light is blinking red it means the car is armed so when somebody breaks in it will start the alarm
The thing on the bottom of the rear view mirror is for the alarm(if your car has it). It should flash every 5 seconds once you locked the car. Love from UK!

Okay idk if its just my car but there is literally no indicator to tell me how loud my audio is in my car. I just have to do it by ear. Someone please help me out
That little nob thing by rear view mirror is for at night when the person behind you has there brights on you can dim it so it doesn’t bother or distract your driving, I love your vids man and you motivated me to get a bmw myself, I’m only 16 and drive a 2006 bmw 325xi and have some things done, nothing big but thanks for all the motivation and keep up the hard work nord
Actually there is an way to make the windows go up. If you go on the door handle, put your finger there just like you do to lock the car, but wait around 10 seconds.. will roll up all your windows and also close the sunroof. At least mine has that. Nice video though!! 👏🏻👏🏻
That thing a ling is to turn the knob so when you drive at night the lights aren’t in your eyes and you’ll still be able to look through the rear view mirror
That cubbie is the right size for a G26!! 🤐 You can code DVD in motion. Most of that stuff is in the owners manual. The manual is in the iDrive or online if one doesn't have the OM.

If you hold the lock "lines" down on the exterior door handle it will close all windows and sun roof. Pretty dope. Hope this helped
How the hell are these things hidden functions?!?! Have you heard about a thing called a manual????
None if these are hidden. This video is dumb as fuck.
Also, that mesh part in the glovebox is to hold the ashtray insert. What an idiot.
Also, any E90 with a CIC navigation unit will play a DVD. So much misinformation.
Fred why don’t you shut the fuck up thanks :)
I understand him ... (Whispers: he needs alot of views) lol
Some of these things aren’t on the UK model, but we do have windows up on the key as standard.
The “thing-a-ling” on the rear view mirror is part of the security system.
It also detect sunlight so it can dim the rearview mirror while your driving at night to minimize glare.
@@NihilistSolitude i don’t know but on my car if you twist it , it tilts the rear view mirror to deflect light 👍
Also if you don’t have your key on you and want to see if the car is locked it will flash red to show its armed

Hold the touch sensitive lock button on your door handle to roll up the windows
7:56, try to rotate it will put your mirror on slight angle so it becomes darker if you have strong sunlight or headlights flashing your mirror
Comfort access features are not hidden 😂😂😂

The mirror is auto darkening, it doesn't flip like on most other cars
It's a photocell, where as like the first comment, It'll automatically darken to give you better view when high beams are on your behind.
