As an old BMW owner ... Just lost my shit totally with the blinkers

[@ethanknowles6574]

Same

[@Gregor7677]

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.

[@goneforgood9707]

3:10 haha clasic BMW joke the indicators

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

+E36 M3 haha 😉.

[@TLka2.0]

I thought that I'm so stupid to understand and at third time watching backward and forward i said to myself fuck maybe comments hahaha

[@fugelkusch3722]

If you ever feel worthless, remember there are people at BMW mounting the blinkers.

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

😂

[@deathisfreedom1442]

Treats On The Streets hey man, first time i watched one of ur vids and im curious, what bmw is that and what bmw would u recommend if i have only 3000 bucks to spend on it? Btw the indicator joke had me dying XD

[@Tech-bv9oj]

The turn signals are my favorite feature that apparently only few cars have

[@BimmerDude]

ha...signals LOL. Cool video man! I think that last one is my favorite as well

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

+Bimmer Dude definitely a cool feature. Thanks for watching again man!

[@FartyMcbongos]

Is this one just on the m3 or all models?

[@Thomeeno]

last one? You mean that ability make a donuts? :D

[@clements3715]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@25madisonchris]

Okay, the digital tach part is pretty bad ass. Will be trying in my m3 tonight. 👌

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

+25madisonchris haha I thought so too! Who would have known? If you look into it more there's a lot of other cool stuff you can access in there.

[@GregoryEsman]

Treats On The Streets What's the Google search I'd have to make to find out all the features?

[@socialcrazy9573]

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.

[@1974UTuber]

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.

[@emulatorretro]

The key trick works for automatic convertibles as well. I discovered this accidentally with my top down on my 1999 E36 328i

[@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

[@cleonzenasro2998]

I watched this video till the end. I enjoyed it the problem is that I dont have a BMW in fact I dont have a car loll

[@NotAgainKel]

Ben Nasro this is relatable lol

[@kieranmartin3216]

I'm 14 so I cant even drive lol

[@austinrose3018]

Audi is far superior.

[@Wesolyman]

@@austinrose3018 Casual audi driver comment, great job on compromising your brand even more

[@RM-gc4zk]

@@austinrose3018 I've gone from Audi to bmw and I can tell you that is incorrect.

[@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.

[@strinity511]

Lol, the turn signal lever was my favorite, I sometime feel like I'm the only one that knows cars come with those. 🤣🤣🤣

[@danielhoward8354]

I THINK I always use blinkers out of habit. I have driven since 15 1/2 yrs old (1980s) However not sure about blinkers as I said, Habit. I would need to pay attn to know for sure. This dam lockdown has me going on more drives at night. NO OR LESS people and cops on roads I can push it more and have fun. At that point, blinkers, stop signs/lights, speed limits are just suggestions if cars in front or behind me. IF your not a cop in front of me.... see ya

[@rick9021090210]

thank you man!!! that "blinkers" tip saved me from LOTS of curses and middle fingers... xD cheers!

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

😂👍

[@johngeorgakopoulos7144]

3:10 lololol 😂 But at 3:31 when it supposed to be pressed up for the right flash I think that you pressed a button called "alarm button" or something called like this, am I right? 😂😂😂 Joke to joke!!! lmao 🤘😂🤘

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

+John Georgakopoulos haha you caught it, I pushed the emergency flashers button.

[@vladostojanovski7643]

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

[@slidingintodms1014]

The blinker had me dying😂😂😂

[@tayloreverett1508]

buying an e36 m3 in techno violet in about a week or so.. couldn’t be more exited and i think i’m making the right choice for a car!! your videos def help me out a lot!

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

Awesome! That's a cool color. Glad I could help with your decision.

[@danielmathieuwiedecke4394]

Haha, the Blinker did it for me 😂😂😂

[@PentaYOOO]

E39's do the window thing too. You can open them with the lock aswell, if you hold it on the open position, or do it with the key

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

Cool man!

[@bugyg2000]

@@TreatsOnTheStreets The feature with the windows i had it on a B4 VW Passat a Skoda Octavia 1(only front windows because only front electric windows:P) Audi A4 B5 :) its on a lot of cars but its a good feature especially in summer when its hot to open all the windows

[@MarthyM]

E39 is a spaceship compared to E36 :D And basically all newer cars have the closing feature on the key fob (even a 2002 Fiat).

[@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.

[@PRODBYHASCH]

wait whatt

[@treturk9]

Broooo. I worked with you at Wayfair! Glad youre doing good man. 1m views!!! Congrats. Happy for you!

[@solmazer9805]

Blinky things? I thought mine were just stickers! How about that?!

[@bmw4life]

Indicators???? First thing i do today look of my e46 has that too never heard of that before! Is that a extra that you can order with the car?

[@viechaog2059]

The Key / Window thing is for most cars at least for WV, Audi, Mercedes etc, Maybe it isn't a thing for American cars But most European cars have that feature.

[@redrock1963]

Consider that they had these features in the mid 90's. BM's are a great car. I currently have an E30 sedan, E36 convertable (both projects cars) and an E87 120D every dayer............I love each of them differently. LOL I've got a '91 Hi Ace van too that is awesome.

[@kamikazee3071]

redrock1963 nicee my dads have two e30 and one is a sedan one is a 2 door. Those cars are amazing

[@bigdaddy5087]

" I don't see the use for it " lmaooo me neither btw the window thing worked on my bmw 2011 550 thanks just found out

[@jsquared1013]

LMAO at the "blinker" bit :-P I'm going to have to try the door-lock-windows-up thing tomorrow.

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

Haha go for it man!

[@bernhardire2557]

The Window / Sunroof thing also works on a Convertible roof :)

[@AdamVrbasCZ]

Is the signalization handle or whatever it is behind the wheel also in other cars or bmw only?

[@jeremywilliams9470]

Haven’t heard any of these type of videos mention hands free locking. On some BMW’s when you get out, and the key fob is not inside the car, after closing the door you can bump the handle with your hip to lock the doors

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

Pretty cool!

[@aadvb6664]

I have to bump my door on my 93 coupe to open it 😂 only driver’s side though

[@yurisuika]

I've driven an E36 M3 for 8 years and didn't know about the windows-lock trick or the digital tacho- awesome!

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

+yurisuika they're pretty cool features!

[@hablom1977]

nice looking e36, congrats.. I got rid of mine cause it was so rusty

[@Dragosh2005]

Also the turn signal stick has a hidden feature. I don't remember exactly how but as I remember one has to "force it" left or right or if you prefer to say up or down to put the signal light permanently on to the specific side. (usually handy when parking on the side of the road). and as I know this is available on many cars if not most of cars.

[@W2TW]

blinker troll + 10 points

[@paavokar]

The first one with opening and closing windows, i have a 2000 316 e46 and it has that feature, on both closing and opening them, just doesnt have the sunroof

[@RobynTapps]

#1 does that on e30 chassis as well

[@magik8566]

Wow, didn't know about the blinker things, I will probably never use that feature, but it's nice to know.

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

😂😂😂

[@mistervenomous]

Hahah the signal joke. 😂😂😂

[@mohmoudfarah1897]

LOL! The last one was the coolest. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@twinturborotary_diecast]

Funny video. Lol I didn't know some of the features. Thanks for sharing

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

+Mazda Rx7 FD 1993 glad you liked it!

[@kreatursalz8416]

First time I watched a car video and actually owning the right car ✌🏻

[@5ccme798]

i didn't know people don't use blinkers, i tought everyone does that xd

[@4022029]

Thanks much. Knew about the key rolling up windows nothing else (many vehicle are just picking up this tech). But the blinking amber lights 🤔 hmm you got me there!!!🤣🤣

[@frozenfenix0]

Doesn't work on my e36, probably if you replace the lock it won't work.

[@gonzalo4307]

The window and sunroof thing works with my alarm keyfob aswell, and you dont have to hold it, its the original bmw alarm not aftermarket

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

+Gonzalo on an e36? I have the original BMW alarm system as well and didn't work with the fob. Maybe I did it wrong.

[@gonzalo4307]

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.

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

+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 😅.

[@macelius]

It's called the "comfort lock" feature, and both factory and aftermarket alarms can make use of it.

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

Good to know

First time I hear about that "indicator" lever thing. Neat trick! Doesn't seem all that useful though 😂😂

[@Pete-z6e]

Joël Bourquard , can’t see the point of it!

[@s1xxcore891]

Awesome the Window thing and the Digital Speed thing, are so freaking awesome btw. i drive an E87 from 2005 and both go

[@donnanurse5307]

I went and tried the window thing right away and it works. Mind blowing. Thanks so much. it's good for me here in hot Barbados.

[@hypnotech83]

That was so cool thanks man!!! Now im excited to go to my car and start messing around with my windows and cluster

[@glaucothomaz5513]

Nice. But I need help. I have a 325 cabriolet and all the windows do not work. When I lock the door, the windows close. How can I reprogram or reset? P.S. The buttons are ok.

[@Heivark]

As usual bro, nice content. :)

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

+EJ Joson as usual, thanks for watching man! I appreciate all your support!

[@toddhartmayer8327]

I love the hidden features...thx Question: not sure if you are familiar with E36 323i convertible, is it possible you might go over trouble shooting convertible issues. Specifically when putting top down it disconnects from windshield but then stops and getting rapid clicking noise. I would appreciate it...thx again

[@bmwe3945]

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. The motor tries to turn the gear, but as it is missing teeth, the motor gear sort off catches hold of it and then looses grip, which makes a clicking noise. Does the sound stop after a while or do you need to stop it manually?

[@adrianbarajas5028]

Thumbs up for the blinkers! Ha!!

[@ALPINA527]

One cool feature that all BMW E36 coupes have unless they are electric option is self closing rear side windows, They automatically shut at approximately 100 MPH!

[@Taltsi]

Didnt know about the heated doorlocks! Just yesterday i had a flat battery and central locking obviosly didnt work, could have used that feature :D

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

+Taltsi pretty cool huh? Not even something you find in today's brand new cars!

[@Mrpepsi320]

Yes but would the heating element actually have the power to run given the flat battery?

[@Taltsi]

Yeah, but for some reason when i recharged the battery the central locking didnt work untill i started the car, dont know why and dont care, would have been easier just to open the doors with the key instead of using a ton of antifreeze stuff on the locks to get in the driver seat

[@noahx300x]

That exactly happened to me last week, too. Now I know what to do next time my doorlock is frozen. @Taltsi what bmw do you drive? I drive an E34

[@Taltsi]

E36 323Ti

[@macelius]

You should add that pushing the blinker stalk in scrolls through the OBC info. Speaking of, many hidden features in the OBC, most useful imho being the digital voltage gauge.

[@carswithkaro]

Love the channel man! Made me confirm. that I have the cold weather package, and I learned about the digital tach. Keep it up. I also have an arctic silver m3 coupe

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

oh awesome! Love the silver coupes!

[@mamajon4123]

got an arctic silver 1.8 and ive been extremely satisfied so fad

[@LavendrHoney]

As a e36 owner I am very concern because a lot of these features don’t work on mine :/ The gas lock feature would be great to have working

[@Prezzy08]

3:28 i didnt know bmw's had them though i have seen every other car using them strange,huh?!?

[@ronniejanuszki]

The first tip has some changes with some of the newer US models. With my e90 it would roll down windows/sunroof by clicking unlock but would not do the opposite if you held down the lock button. My current f32 won't either, but it can be easily coded to do so!

[@StephenMarcus1]

Rolling windows up depends on country - works in Europe, disabled in the US probably for liability reasons.

[@mountehkh9231]

Ha there's a thing on the left called blinkers? Lol

[@COOK1EMONSTA96]

The window one is so sick! didn't know that!

[@mort7987]

That moment when you don't have electrical windows

[@zmoney248]

My e39 540i let all the windows down when I held the unlock button. Not sure if they could be rolled up though.

[@-ExperienceWithMe-]

3:18 LMAO good one

[@aksharhaniruth7693]

So glad you found the turning lights😂

[@XxjunebugxXYT]

Lmao 😂 😂 Really blinkers good one man😂😂 J DIDN'T know about that features

[@luis3boss]

Mine stopped doing the "close windows and sunroof thing with the key" does someone know if it was a fuse or an electrical problem?

[@leoplaketti707]

The blinker feature, hahaha

[@timothylund6672]

E38s do both way on window roll up and down love that feature

[@michaelperez265]

Bmws are awesome

[@danielhoward8354]

do you have a vid on fixing door lock that fell apart inside door

[@NickleJ]

Hard to use the window feature when both your window regulators are shot :/

[@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.

[@mi16t]

Michael Broski or, spray in graphite dust.

[@katieolson4207]

my 1999 vw bug has the bmw summermode too where you can roll up and down the windows with the key and key fob

[@Joesfosterdogs]

damn that car is cleen!

[@versacecondoms1501]

didn’t the e36 winter package come w w a limited slip diff?

[@lancemartin9827]

Thanks for mentioning the thing about the turn signals

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

Haha you're welcome

[@njsullyalex2744]

3:06 What the actual heck is that? I never knew my BMW could do that! That has to be the most insane feature I have ever seen, on any car. On a side note, the digital speedometer and tachometer are pretty cool. Do you think those work in the E46? Edit: I tried it on my E46 325xi. Codes were different, but it did work, you can get the digital tach on it too!

[@ciri151]

Do you like the e36? I'm considering getting it as my first car. Does it have many problems?

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

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

[@ItzMeLuiz.]

Tf is a turn signal🤷🏻‍♂️

[@akisavela]

Just clicked the video because of the blinkers and I was ready to make a joke about it but then I was surprised that video itself had the joke already. :D Nice!

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

Haha we think alike

[@scrapinpennies4365]

The signals... The one thing in my beamer I'd never use.

[@rosespence8397]

The turn signal hidden feature made me day 😂😂

[@oogiemaster]

Most BMWs, specially new ones, use up a lot of blinker fluids. Make sure to top it off every time you drive. Sometimes I run out of blinker fluids in the middle of the drive specially when cutting off left lane hoggers!

[@franticfrancis9710]

Every car on the planet has indicators....that made me so angryyyy It’s a joke btw 😂

[@danielazzopardi4929]

blinker are a must to use in my country i was like what its to signal where your going to prevent accidents and if you dont use them and get in one it will be your fault.

[@daliaordaz]

I have an E46 and DO NOT have key holes in my doors, but can open up the widows before i get in, like you said... Is it a feature I'm missing out for not having keyholes? Good video... thank you.

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

+Dalia Ordaz if you have a key fob you can use the lock and unlock buttons like I describe to open and close them.

[@daliaordaz]

Treats On The Streets Thank you for your response, but I dont have a Fob, I have the same key you have.

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

+Dalia Ordaz if you don't have a hole for the key and don't have a fob then how do you lock and unlock your car lol

[@siamakkami4078]

Last one was awesome, thanks

[@carterarrambide5123]

The blinker!! I died laughing 😂

[@MuscleBandit]

I had a 328i E36 coupe with midnight blue metallic paint and white leather interior back in the day. I bought it for £1000 in need of some tlc. The same car now would be 3k upwards. They are going up and up in value over the years. If fuel prices calm back down I may get another before they become too rare...

[@captainfallsalotatppic2508]

Oh damn I didn't know what that stick thing left side of steering wheel. The fuel door has been a part of the central locking system going back into the early 80s.

[@VIVAPSESCE]

Any magic tricks to solve my out of sync boot lid on my 728 sport? It won't lock over.... happens after battery went flat now can't drive it.. motor works but doesn't soft close or lock...

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

+VIVA DJESCE ooh good question. I'm not very educated on the 7 series unfortunately. Good luck!

[@germanlinares4440]

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.

[@Brad64url]

On some models of the e36 the roll up sun roof feature does not work. As I tried it on my '99 BMW 323is coupe. As I recall reading my car manual, the 323i(s) and I think the 318 were exempt from having this feature. But hell, the windows roll up on the key lock so I'm happy. Thanks for the video man!

[@TreatsOnTheStreets]

Glad you enjoyed it. That's for the info man!

[@samueljun5276]

GOD. THE BLINKERS. I DIED.
