I thought my man was gonna teach me how to use that blinker feature. Personally I don't believe in it. Never let your opponents know your next move.

[@BeamerView]

I still struggle to learn how to work that one. One day I will

[@talltomb]

Yes the "blink to pass" blinker feature takes some getting used to. In Germany, passing legally requires using at least 3 blinks and police write tickets for no blinker passing. The "blink to pass" feature is designed to be "one touch and release" for 3 blinks. No cancelation or holding required. IF you move the lever past the detent (you feel resistance) THEN you must cancel the blinking. Practice this, move lever a little bit and release, 3 blinks and it stops. Most people think they must cancel leading to left blinker, right blinker, left etc.

[@elizabetharduain]

Exactly!🤪🤣🤣🤣

[@c.patricksadowski9959]

Also, if you set up an assistant name, you don’t have to say “hello” or wait for it to beep…

[@ltcwinger3123]

The car is smart enough to know if the driver or passenger is requesting a temperature change. I usually just say I'm warm and it cools the driver side if there are 2 people. It will adjust as needed for what the passenger says...crazy good technology.

[@BeamerView]

Totally, I've noticed this the other day too, the personal assistant would show on the passenger side of the screen too! It's getting really good.

[@carsbykev7037]

I hadn’t even noticed that about the climate. I set “Simon Says” when I got mine, but I’m used to “Hey BMW” from prior vehicle, so I never remember Simon says.

[@SuperSnowchic]

I have a 2024 x5. Thank you for your videos!😊

[@BeamerView]

Anytime! Plenty more coming along the years, congrats on the new X5 and appreciate you supporting the channel.

[@bobbyemccain5058]

Thanks for the video. I forget about the BMW personal assistant. I will use this feature more often. Keep the videos coming. I have a 2024 430i.

[@BeamerView]

Yess it's a feature that can be easily forgotten but I think we all should get into the habit of using it more since it's getting much better every year. Congrats on the 430i, and thank you for watching!

[@carsbykev7037]

I concur. Just commit to using it for a week and you’ll be set. I had to consciously tell myself. It works so much better than looking for stuff and pressing buttons.

[@dkellam7036]

You have really good and helpful videos! How can I get the car to stop turning off when the driver opens up the car door. For example when I go into the store but still have people sitting in the car and everything shuts down even after only hitting the park button. I have even deactivated the feature "turn off vehicle after opening door"?

[@adamskaboy]

I have a 2023 X1….using the Personal Assistant can be hit and miss… get your syntax correct with the PA and it works fine. If the syntax is incorrect it’s not going to work. It does take some training yourself to have workable commands at the ready that will make it effortless and amusing. Otherwise you’ll end up just performing the function manually and probably getting frustrated with the PA. I’ve let out a few expletives while trying to get a function performed…and the PA just cracked me up with the response back. I’ve made a commitment to be nice to her…she is very pleasant and forgiving.

[@BeamerView]

Haha great points, yes it does take some time and adjustments to the speech to get it right. I personally have a stutter and it can be a nightmare at times =)

[@skipcollinge772]

Love your videos! Love my new i5M60. I have had arguments with my Personal Assistant. This video is a big help. Thanks!!!!! Coming off a Tesla Model S Ludicrous. The M60 is a superior car in every way! I drove this car for 2 weeks and have finally found a car that I like better than my 2008 M5 ! your videos are great!

Have a new x5 50e when I start the car it is in electric mode. I would like it to start in hybrid mode. What do I need to to.

[@bobbyemccain5058]

Can you do a video on how to properly use the paddle shifters?

[@nighilkamalanathan9246]

I have a question, for the voice command are you able to control heated seats settings and stuff. Also one question I saw your vids about the mistakes to NOT make on your BMW. It's really hot down here and as soon as I started the car and 45-60 seconds after I started to get on it, in the summer are the engines usually pre-heated up because of the hot weather. I just want to make sure I didn't do anything, is the cold engine ONLY in the winter? I want to make sure I'm not doing anything and will have a healthy engine in the long run.

[@BeamerView]

Yes voice command should be able to control the heated seats as well. You can get on your car as long as the engine temperature is where it should be which is not too hot or not too cold. This is especially important in the winter more than it is in the summer. So just keep an eye on the engine temp, if its good then you can get on it fine.

[@nighilkamalanathan9246]

Awesome thank you. I also have the built in dash cam, can I also ask BMW assistant to save or record a video?

[@MrTinkx]

Great guide. In the 2018 X3 you can change the voice between British English and American English in the settings. Can you not in 2024 cars? I have an M2 (from Mexico) on the way,

[@BeamerView]

You can not change it for the BMW Voice command. I know you can change the accent for SIRI but that's done through your phone settings.

[@meetrishii]

Hi I have BMW 5 Series 2024 model. Everything is great, have a query, Kms figure on fuel gauge changes even when car has stopped, need help

[@BeamerView]

That number will change depending on driving style, there is not a way to control it. The car will take an average of how you're driving, what speeds, whether or not you are stopped, all into the average.

[@CAAJDJ]

I changed my keyword to “Darh-ling” so I can feel fancy anytime I ask her to do things. Like Edna 😅lbs

[@mark8684]

Which X5 (Idrive 8.0) features require a subscription? In other words, which features will I lose if I let my subscription expire? For example: remote start, drive recorder, navigation routing, etc.

[@BeamerView]

Remote start you won't lose. You will lose access to the my bmw app, traffic jam, points of interests, etc. Connecteddrive.com is where you go to renew and see exactly what they are for your car.

[@csl350]

Is there a video about BMW preconditioning ventilation and is it necessary that we do this?

[@BeamerView]

There should be a video on how to setup remote start if the vehicle is able to support it. I would check out that one. Preconditioning isn't very neccesarry for gas powered cars, its more of a comfort thing for them. For EVs it is recommended that you pre-condition the battery in the winter time as this improves the range of the vehicle.

[@csl350]

@@BeamerView Then why does that message come on my screen of my gas BMW all the time. Thanks, would be lost without your videos.

[@nickdennis4921]

Can you tell it to keep speed camera detection "always on" while just normal driving?

[@BeamerView]

I personally don’t rely on it much. Better off using maps like Waze for that since they would be more accurate and up to date.

[@rcruz401]

How can I get my exhaust sound on demand on my 2023 Bmw XM? It's always silent when I turn it on and kicks on randomly when I drive.

[@BeamerView]

Try doing a search for "engine sound" I know they had this in the last generation OS system under settings. Or you could look for iconic sounds and toggle that to see if it does it. The vehicle is a hybrid so it's normal for it to be quiet at lower speeds, you would most likely have to put it in sport mode to have that sound louder all the time.

[@TheRoman4373]

Great video and will def use now lol

[@BeamerView]

Hope you enjoy!

[@csl350]

My 2024 X3 has so many beeps but it doesn’t beep when I am backing out of the driveway to let me know cars are coming from the left or right! Is this normal?Thanks

[@BeamerView]

The X3 can beep when the cars are very very close to hitting you. It's a 2 step warning. One where it just shows a red blinking light on the screen either left or right depending on where the vehicle is coming from. Or it'll make the actual sound only when the other car gets very close to hitting your car. It's very hard to get this to go off.

[@garfieldanderson4539]

I agree. I also just purchased a 2024 X1 M35i and the rear cross traffic sensors suck. Coming from a Cadillac which would warn me at least 3 or more car lengths that a vehicle is approaching the rear, BMW should have had a equal or higher standard when it come to this safety feature. I might as well turn off the flawed safety feature because it is useless..

[@Botzz28]

I have a 2023 230i with Idrive 8 any chance I can get the parking sensor display in the center? and is there any way for me to get the newer self parking the one that can actually read the lines?

[@BeamerView]

You're vehicle should have the sensors as all BMWs do of course, that you can press on the P button near the gear shifter in the center. As for the full display and vehicles that can park themselves you would have to have a higher end BMW and/or the package Parking Assistant Plus built into the vehicle.

[@Blazergl]

@@BeamerView it does have the sensors it just puts them in the center infotainment compared to the center display for the driver. Gotcha so not for see able way to update. I really wished their website was more transparent about the exact use cases for all these features. I wouldn’t have gotten it knowing what I do know. Thanks for the info.

[@debbutante9591]

Are all of these commands available on my 2023 3 series? My Hello bmw gives me a really hard time. I have to speak really slow to her If I spoke as fast as u do in this video, it would be a mess !!

[@BeamerView]

Yes the same commands should be available. This BMW has the newer 8.5 Operating system which may be more responsive.

[@debbutante9591]

​@BeamerView the weirdest thing was, as hard as it is to get her to respond properly, when my hubby said , BMW Is a bit*h, BMW responded with, "Watch your tone".! We didn't speak for a good 10 seconds. We were spooked !!

[@davidalenick1246]

And most importantly, you don’t need to pause after saying “hey BMW”!

[@JS-sj3dn]

I don’t care if it has a personal assistant, it takes longer to use this than press a button. Sure let me close my windows with my voice when I can just press the button next to me. Group think is a bad thing when developing products.

[@BeamerView]

Sure, depending on the task you're trying to do or the situation you're in. I personally would always use it for things like navigation or situations where I would other wise have to type out a word.

[@spoiler9112]

The point of personal assistant is to accomplish what you want without taking your eyes off the road. Many options require you to go through sub menus to reach them.

[@simo67946]

how new is this feature ? im buying a 2019 3 series

[@BeamerView]

2019s should have it too. Just not as fast as it would with the newer BMWs but will still do many of the same commands

[@boostspike]

I only use the voice command for navigation. Everything else is kinda gimmicky.

[@BeamerView]

Try checking to see if there is a software update, that may help a bit.

[@wahooandy1]

Will voice command turn off the auto engine off feature?

[@BeamerView]

I haven't tried that one yet. But give it a shot to see if it does it. Keep in mind, a lot of newer BMWs prevent you from disableing the feature even if it had the option to do so. They are trying to reduce emissions in the world by doing this.

[@davidbsac]

If you put the vehicle in the sport mode, it turns off the start stop function.

[@wandam.6967]

Do a video on how to find parking in certain areas

[@BeamerView]

Sure, easiest way is to just ask the voice command, "what are some places I can park here" or "what are some parking garages here"

The best way to do it is leave it in auto and keep AC on at all times, the car will do what it needs to to make sure the right temperature gets reached in the car. I have heard of some new x5s not blowing full cold air here and there, if you feel it may be an issue feel free to get it checked out in case.

[@carsbykev7037]

Hey, I hate the drivers vents. It’s very hard to get them to blow in my face…Takes 5 minutes each time… Then I figured out the issue, may help you: The fan speed doesn’t always follow “auto”. So if you turned the fan down manually, it’ll stay there even if you put it back in Auto. Try “Hey BMW, Max AC”. Also, about the only thing I can do with my Protool is code “Colder AC”, so you may be onto something. Complain at the dealer and see if they can “program” it.
