A lot of people don't know this but when you get out your car and iDrive stays on, it shuts off once you lock the car. You don't need to press the button twice or enable this on Bimmercode. It's suprising how many people don't know this but it's a really nice feature once you realise how it works.

Same reason I bought mine. Drove me nuts...........I drive 50 mile to work and stop twice before I get there. Surely this start stop has a detrimental effect on your starter motor plus other stuff as well. i also bought the Autell Ap200 which I think is brilliant. One can set all things up with this tool. I..e injectors.

Cars that have a stop-start system don’t just cut the ignition. The engine is stopped with 1 cilinder just after top dead center so that it only needs ignition to start again. So the starter motor needs no or much less work do its job. Also the whole power unit is designed for this system. Some cars have an integrated generator/starter just for this purpose. I have my doubts about effectiveness of a stop-start system but I’m sure it won’t cause excessive wear.

Ex police cars , especially those used for blue light runs, are serviced far more regularly than makers specify. They are not "tuned" in anyway as that would invalidate warranties and they re expected to last for a considerable mileage often 24/7.

Hi, Great video - convinced me to purchase Bimmercode! Can anyone answer this? You can set your DRLs to 100%, as you said you have done, but what % is the factory setting the car comes with? Bimmercode merely says the lights are currently at an 'unassigned value' which isn't very helpful. The guy at Bimmercode doesn't know, because I asked him. I read that in the States their DRLs are not as bright as European cars, so this allows them to brighten theirs. Are ours already at 100%. (Or 70%, 80%??) I'm not talking about increasing the brightness of the dimmed angel eyes with the headlights on, just straight DRLs. Any thoughts? Cheers.
@Nut_Job.4 жыл бұрын
I think from memory my DRLs were set at 70% when I went in and changed them.
