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

[@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

[@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

[@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 !

Thanks for the coolant temperature check, never knew you could do that. Did you know it has a wiper blade service mode ? Put the fob in but don’t start the car, make sure the wipers are off , remove the fob and hold the right stork up for 4 seconds , the wipers will sweep once and then stay in the up / vertical position.

[@joehodgekins8423]

Yes bro, been waiting for this one!

[@GeorgeAusters]

You’re welcome man!

[@MicheleFrancineREALTOR]

Hi! My key fob stopped working for the locks but the battery was fine when I opened the case. Any suggestions? xo Thx 2009 328i coupe

[@johndavies8170]

Also the keyless start! Great feature on these!

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yep!

[@nerv6150]

how do you do that?

[@30guarino]

@@nerv6150 press the 3 buttons at the same time 3 times then one button at a time 3 times then all 3 again 3 times ...that should start your engine but you have to be 3 inches away from your vehicle while doing this hidden feature

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

Nice job, great post.

Thanks Alex!

[@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👍🏻

[@jonathanowen6147]

Great video!

Thank you🙌🏼

[@ENZEEVIDS]

thanks for the tips. that mirror dropping down thing is sooooo annoying!!

[@GeorgeAusters]

You’re welcome!

[@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!

I don't know if you took my last post down or YT did? If so I understand you want to keep private life seperate.

[@pkerjay4]

What wheels are these bro?

[@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

thx bro it was so useful for me

[@Traumahawk007]

If you press the lock button twice you disable the interior sensors

[@GeorgeAusters]

Correct👍🏻

[@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

[@chrisdimmock-89]

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 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Some models came with the oil temp gauge there👍🏻

@@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 ?

Gets extremely hot when the DPF is regenerating👍🏻

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...
