The older 2002s had the turn signal on the right side as it should be. You’re going to take your right hand off the wheel to shift anyway.

Nice throlling bro ! Love it ! I hate when those bimmer(or other cars) drive like moron and don't use blinkers .

[@comentuchme]

I really thought he was gonna mention that if you push in on it (right), it cycles through the onboard computer functions.

[@DaytonCarCare]

Only if your car had the winter package it would have the heated nozzles and door lock. Though he didn't mention the BC on the signal lever, some people don't know if you push it in (from the side) it will give you different displays; time, outside temp, estimated miles left on fuel, avg mph, and avg mpg. While displaying MPG you can push the S/R button to display current MPG.

[@kazababis]

R and L are for parking lights. If your engine is off and you push the signals lever further than normal then position light will turn on at the direction you pushed the lever. For example if you push the lever upwards further than the position that activates your right signal then right headlight and backlight will turn on

[@johnpearson492]

I wasn't aware the e36s had the secret menus as well. I've definitely utilized them on e38s and e39s. The most useful one I've found is the battery voltage readout.

Can u pls tell ms the rsst of the futeres or a link to ths google page? Tnx and yeah that blinker is a new feature.

[@davidbuschhorn6539]

There's this really cool thing all cars come with. It's called an owner's manual. All this and MUCH MORE is right in there. For instance, if your car came with a key with a dead battery? The car charges the key's battery when you drive with it in the ignition.

Those weird blinking orange lights are kinda useless. I see them on other brands of cars as well. I notice them most when people have the left light blinking then pull to the right across the front of me. BMW has a special button for that too in the middle of the steering wheel that makes a loud trumpet noise at the offending parties.

Try the indicators L or R when you take the key out it's going to turn the position light ON to one side.

Check out my channel and it's lower videos. I've done all kinds on reliability, if I like it or not, cost of ownership, do's and don'ts, all kinds of things. I think you'll find the answers to all your questions.

[@johnbaptise2262]

My e36 will works perfectly for a month then something random happens. Yesterday my brake light bulb fell in the light casing. That was a pain in the but. A couple weeks before my check engine came on cuz gas caps. Before that my transistor thing for the fans to work went out. They are definitely a project, need constant work (which is part of the fun) normally just smaller stuff nothing that prevents it from getting u from a to b. In that aspect they are pretty reliable but to keep it at 100% working is constant maintenance 126k on my 323is e36

Cool feature ? come on man, even Diablo had the tools in a little bag(yellow ofc with the lambo badge on it, but still, it was a bag), the e36 had them hidden in the trunk door hanging upside down defying gravity like tiny spiderman wrenches. Oh, and i just remembered another one you missed, when you lower the sun...covers??shades???(dont remember how they're called in english) and you slide the cover of the mirror so you can look at your pretty face, the moment you slid that cover open, a little light right next it lit your pretty face so you do no mistake refreshing your make up, yes, for both of the front sits! (and i mention that it was for both seats, cause in a volvo s40 i had, only the passengers sit had a mirror, implying that me, the alpha male is driving the car, while the female companion next to me refreshes herself using the mirror, and on the contrary, my buddy drives a chevrolet matiz, and it actually has a mirror only for the driver's seat, implying that it is meant to be driven by women,) oh fuck im rumbling again

[@kanalnamn]

On the digital ac control you can hit "auto" and "rear defrost" at exactly the same time (it's a bit tricky!) you'll get twelve different read outs in the display. Cycle them with fan speed button. It worked on one of my two '96 cars.

I can't get the LOCK off... can you help me?... and does it work on classic e36 (not m3)?

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

It works on all OBD2 e36 models. Remember when you get to 15 you hold down the press, not a push, then a press. I had to try a few times before I got it to work as well. So you push for 14, then push and stay holding for 15. That should bring up the LOCK.

Yes but its a '94 so obd1, maybe it has different functions. I just press the fob lock button and the windows roll up automatically every time, havent tried any other way or with the key though, I once held the fob button and the alarm started sounding so I havent tried anything different haha.(I got scared) My fob is rectangular and black with a notch in one of the corners and the button has a bmw logo on it, very small button aswell and a tiny red led too, yours is different, maybe it has something to do with that.

+Gonzalo oh yeah the obd1 systems are a bit different. I had the same experience with the alarm going off when I held the button too long though 😅.

Hi, I wanted to know which year is your car from? I got a ‘92 and it doesn’t have most of those features ☹️ (could it be because of the model?)

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

Mine is 99 which is OBD2. Yours is OBD1 so some of those features won't work. I believe they began to be OBD2 in 1996.

[@sheldonm3535]

Spray WD 40 in the key locks, and ignition. Do this when it’s warm out and wiper the excess off. This will prevent your locks from freezing and it’ll clean it all out. I’ve done this for over 10 years it won’t screw up anything. Also if your keys are very worn order a new key. The worn key will just wear out your locks. Also on old cars like these or any car. Order yourself a nice Coverkraft sun windshield cover. This will protect your dash and keep your car a lot cooler inside. The oem Bmw one is made by Coverkraft as well.

Todd Hartmayer I myself only have e39's, but that doesn't stop me from trying to help What you have really sounds like a gear that is stripped.
