BMW 3 SERIES HIDDEN FEATURES!

[@robbieshaft]

Good man George. Just another small tip for anyone that has this key, put your key ring around the hole at the end that’s fixed to the fob and not the hole that detaches to the pull out key as the movement and weight of your keys over time can cause the catch to become weak and your keys will detach from the fob eventually

[@GeorgeAusters]

Cheers mate!

[@kwelitech4560]

Just changed my ring over. Thanks for the info

[@dm55]

They're not hidden. People just don't read their manual.

[@soufzgr8test]

wow have owned my bmw for a few months now and did not know about most of these things, now im outside playing with the windows

[@matiuhex3035]

same hahahaha

[@donstevens7847]

Great video! Thanks!

[@spongehighlights7152]

Hi can you do an explanation on bmw online services please thanks

[@neilpike4358]

Hi George another great video! The E92 coupe does not have a key lock under the boot lid so this cannot be opened with the key. Also if you disconnect the battery in the boot don’t fully close the lid as this will lock the boot! 🤬

[@GeorgeAusters]

Cheers Neil, yes pretty sure the LCI E90 is the same too👍🏻

[@leiflillandt1488]

But what happens if you then connect a jump starter? Then you have electricity in the system, haven't you? And then you should be able to open the boot, shouldn't you?

[@neilpike4358]

@@leiflillandt1488 yes absolutely but if you are not aware of it and you don’t have a jump pack you are f****d the back seats only drop down once released in the boot unlike the E36 coupe. Speaking from experience 🤣🤣🤣

[@robbieshaft]

Hi Neil, my E92 has got the key lock under the boot lid

[@GeorgeAusters]

It’s for the auto stop/start

@@GeorgeAusters thank you

[@zureai]

I did not know about the auto tilt reverse mirrors. I always thought it was buggy... meaning it would work sometimes and other times it stays

Nice job, great post.

Thanks Alex!

What's a "trunk" relating to a car in the UK?

A boot

What’s a normal coolant temp en this car??

[@gorgeousal2410]

What is the normal operating temperature for bmw e90 320d in celcius?

[@GeorgeAusters]

87-93

[@vazza7504]

Corner!!!!! 😁

[@GeorgeAusters]

Aye?

[@redirectivegsi]

Wtaf !!! 🤣🤣🤣 why have you gotta go through all that hassle just to view the engine temp ! That ridiculous... they should get rid of that silly mpg gauge n replace it with temp... that's far more important... you could be potentially cooking your engine n not know about it.... deary me bmw 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@GeorgeAusters]

Some models came with the oil temp gauge there👍🏻

[@redirectivegsi]

@@GeorgeAusters I wondered were it was ! I'm new to owning a bmw ... I got a 2008 e92 320d coupe... and I was looking every were for engine temp..... I know now cheers buddy..... Quick question why do sometimes the exhaust system right through get extremely hot? I drove back from work the other day n heard this ping, ping ,ping !! Walked round to exhaust tip and it was frighteningly hot.... then yesterday drove it back from work n the exhaust was only mildly warm like most cars..... any ideas ?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Gets extremely hot when the DPF is regenerating👍🏻

[@redirectivegsi]

@@GeorgeAusters ah so normal then !! Thank god for that I was worried it had a issue.... top man just subscribed 👌🏽👌🏽 Maybe u can shine some light on this to!! I hear a loud rumble under car when accelerating in any gear ... it's a mixed sound between vibration/hole in exhaust type of noise!!! But then goes away... basically comes n goes.... I had a look underneath the car with a torch n saw nothing and all heat Shields n parts fixed ok .... it is werid.... could it be again dpf ? Or prop shaft or gear box playing up.... its strange... Cheers

[@rapfactor1]

why dont you get an f30 dude

[@GeorgeAusters]

I’m not a fan of them personally but I wouldn’t say no to a project if the right one came along!

[@rapfactor1]

@@GeorgeAusters Any reason why not a fan? apparently b47 engine improved over n47. I am looking at another 320d as i should be getting insurance replacement value and after researching the f30 320d is one to get over e90 320d. Touch decision whether i go back to e92 or get newer version.

[@zureai]

​@@rapfactor1Cuz the BMWs after the E9x feel like a Lexus, not like a BMW. Just IMO

[@PETRAKOV1]

They are not ""hidden"",You just need to read the manual of the car...😆😆😆

[@GeorgeAusters]

Hidden in the manual

[@angusbrown7832]

Hi on a E92 if you press the open button twice the passenger and drivers windows open half way when the doors are opened. This is to aid you getting in and out as the doors do not have an upper frame. Very handy in a tight parking situation for both doors. Also, the rear key lock on the boot of an E92, I could be wrong but not all E90/92 have a folding rear seat so no access to boot hence they have a key lock. At some point (LCI maybe) all rear seats were foldable so they removed the key lock ? I have a 2009 pre LCI (one of the last) and it has split seats and the key lock so maybe it was just luck ? Cheers !

[@TotoGuy-Original]

should explain the other reason to check the temperature the very common problem of not getting upto temp thus needing to replace your thermostat. im still surprised a lot of people dont know this

[@GeorgeAusters]

Definitely!

[@seanpaul3050]

The stupid time delay when you press the boot unlock button can be changed with ncs expert and ncs dummy. Same for windows.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yep👍🏻

[@zureai]

So if youre in a middle of a car jqcking and want to press the alarm but accidentally dont hold it long enough, it will just open your trunk and help the intruders

[@pkerjay4]

What wheels are these bro?

[@johndavies8170]
