If your BMW key isn’t working or isn’t unlocking your car, do not be fooled by BMW dealers telling you the battery is (NON REPLACEABLE) here is a video of mine showing you, the battery CAN be replaced. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5WThX1jhaqViNU

[@rollinoutsidetv2892]

I did these things and it worked & then my sunroof stop opening. It only tilts now what?

[@joeywegerif]

Lol my dealer replace them for free

[@georgevavoulis4758]

OK please explain why everybody says BMW are all crap cars . Expensive to buy ,own and maintain . Or it all BS because somebody has some vendetta against German cars .

[@Cruxair]

Why would anyone believe you cant change the battery, haha funny

[@mikevalentine8369]

Ayyy ....who thats on the track? like that.

[@tabe2416]

Here's one that applies to anyone with an automatic! I had a E90 years ago that was stuck in park in my driveway i had to get it in N but it had no power. If you lift the plastic panel around the automatic shifter, there is a key hole. if you insert the key from your FOB, you can unlock your shifter to get the car into neutral. Grat Vid!

[@notadoctor2598]

Great tip I discovered that you can pull the panel off around your sunroof controls and there's a like an Allen ranch and that can crank it close. Manually if you have no power and it starts raining.

[@doreneedwards7327]

Thank you so much for this video - it's snowing here today and our window stuck 1/2 down. Thanks to you we were able to get the danged thing back up before the car filled with snow!

Awesome video man. I'm kinda wondering what it would take to get remote start in my E60. That way I don't have to run outside to warm my car up.

[@nechunoufal8079]

The key less entry is new knwledge bro thanks alot 😍

[@hermanvonbarringtongan3004]

for newer models if you click and hold the lock button and the side view mirrors will close too

[@faraviqureshi777]

I had the 59 plate BMW 520d M Sport Business Edition and you could fold the mirrors by holding the lock key. Also the mirror closest to the curb moved down when parallel parking.

[@hedonisticmind]

The mirror moves down if the toggle switch for the electric mirror adjuster is moved to the left. Has nothing to do with the Fob

[@LS-ht1gx]

Had no idea about the trick with removing the key and being able to start it again 👍 The windows trick i believe was available since the E3... series

[@zeltnesis]

Yup, my '91 e36 has this

[@gurjotsingh1536]

Great Stuff mate. Many thanks 👍

[@markringwald2776]

If your car is equipped with comfort access, you can roll the windows up and close the sunroof by tapping the keyhole on the driver door, then hold it down until everything is shut. You need to have the fob with you of course.

[@Burtronic]

I knew about the windows but the keyless running is a winner, I’ll remember that for the cold morning school runs! Thanks

[@dudea7521]

With the keyless running enabled certain things inside the car may not be powered on, such as the cigarette lighter plug, so for example if you have a dash cam powered off the cigarette lighter this then may not be recording if you ever drive the car in this mode.

[@dentmastersofnymichael3316]

On the US model you can use the key in the door and lock the door and hold it will roll up windows. It opens and closes the sunroof also.

[@usamar78]

Thank you 👍

[@80sCrazyCatDadNGunAddiction]

You can also do alooot more than possibly imaginable with Bimmercode and Bimmerlink. I've tweaked so many settings with em on my 330e.

So I managed to enable the retain for start-stop function with bimmercode (I like the start-stop disabled). Is there a way to start the car always in sport mode? I have to manually put it in sport mode every time I start the car and it is annoying... Thanks!

[@HHHMUleader]

Wow! Thank you for this video! I am in South Africa, and just got me this old 2011 E90 323i yesterday, it works for me. Reason for getting onto your channel; my radio (Professional) is "on"...when key in I see the time/ date. However, when powering on the radio, by pressing and holding the top left button, nothing is hapening. Pressing Audio, on top of Power button, nothing g happens, but when I press the Menu button I get the "phone, Comp, Config, BMW and Parked" options menu. I can pair phones, see all info data etc. But just cannot get radio (FM/ AM) to play...I just purchased an aux cable and music plays from phone (Spotify), I can see timer move, but no sound or any display on radio. Update on this > Will try CD option later...CD also not playing, can hear it spinning though. Any idea please?

[@DancingHorseSea]

do all pre-2011 BMW (328i-coupe)come with an alarm system?

[@artbrookey3341]

Question...I am in the USA, on my second E60 M5. First on, in the settings had like yours daytime running lights. The one I have now [both 2006's] does not have the daytime running light option in the I drive settings. BMW North America said it should, said they all did. I am wondering if maybe someone before me did something, like alter the programming. I see no purpose for those inside lights in the headlights other than when I flash the brights, those flash….thoughts?

There is a lot of mileage just over 200,000 k’s I think original guy must have been a travelling ?everything about the car is immaculate, I don’t think anyone has ever sat in passengers seats, it has everything this car, I love it, it’s such a smooth drive but has a lot of power, that’s coming from a monaro v8 coupe, but anyway I have learnt a lot with your vids, as everything had been set to previous owner and while the manuals are very full of info, I need actual using info, so lucky ive come across your vids, still learning new things with her, yes she’s a she. We have a mechanic friend who used to work on Mercedes trucks & cars, he said we got deal of a lifetime for $8,000 aus. Anyway I’ll keep learning off your vids thankyou.
