Dude just a small comment: if someone missed what you told, he can just watch the video again lol

[@Alexander_l322]

I thought the exact same! Funny shit 😂

[@Lodreus]

I missed it twice. Mind telling it to me again?

Holy shit! There should be a video of secret YT features!

If someone missed what he was talking about they never looked at there car. Those aren't hidden features. Just shit the book tells you

[@pack-a-punched2404]

My 2001 e46 is far more advanced than my 2013 Ford Focus.

[@Cr1ptlord]

I honestly think the best cars are from early 2000, enough electronics to make your life easier, but not so much to destroy your wallet when they break. Absolutely hate new all screen instead of knobs in cars, especially when they lagg for whatever reason even tho its 2017.

[@shckltnebay]

Good luck when things start going wrong

[@imnota]

Eric sin They won't, bmw electronics are proven to be bulletproof.

[@shckltnebay]

I agree but the issues are leaks and the VANOS system, but im sure my Dads 05 330ci will have less issues than my 06 Merc e350

[@shckltnebay]

My 44k E350 needed a balance shaft $6400 repair out of warranty

Thx for sharing the information with us👍

[@samjezewski3196]

You're awesome. Thank you!

[@Kim-ek7xy]

Very cool! I have the same car and had no idea it has these features. The battery kept going dead, and the dealer said the car wasn't going into "sleep mode." They said the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. It's fixed now and runs great.

[@paulgraham8191]

Drop the windows and open the sunroof - then hold the recirculation button (tunnel mode) - should close the electric windows and sunroof, then press and hold the recirculation button and they should open back to their previous position (eg half or full open) - does that on all German cars, similar to the dropping the windows with the key fob.

[@danielvaladez3850]

Man these are so awesome thank you

[@Jaroneko]

To get to the test functions without clearing the trip, hold the reset button in while you're turning the key on. This will immediately bring up the test menu and keep your trip mileage intact. Also, as someone already said, the cluster test is always available, there's no need to unlock the other tests (3-18) just to do that.

[@Jaroneko]

And to get back to the other tests while in a test menu (like 2 for cluster), hold the button for ~half a second, and the .x will turn off, and you're back to selecting the main test menus.

[@3mg]

Thanks for sharing!!! Things happened and I was out one less E-46. Cheeky buggers

[@korriepayne8697]

Loved part 1&2 !!!! Great video I learned some new tricks! Thanks

[@jakegianino5762]

Speaking of the key FOB, it doesn’t have traditional replaceable batteries, but actually recharges in the ignition.

[@lights0ut503]

All car keys will charge the batteries in ignition. If it stops doing it the battery's are just old and dead need replacing like anything else . But all car keys charge in ignition

[@Flashbang_Photo]

Loved the e46 secrets...including the special 'any Pelagic.......devices' feature...maybe like 'ocean...something...maybe... lamprey attached to 12v port' and running my battery down, so clever for BMW to save me from the electric lamprey. I was like...wow, is that guy a doctor...making a Latin reference? But, I think you must have meant ... parasitic devices... lol

[@vb7200]

My e36 from 1992 has the window thing where it stops if it hits something. More annoying than helpful tho since it only works on my auto driver window, and sometimes it will think it hit something and just randomly go down

[@imnota]

When I was a child I got my finger stuck in a window(My dad shut the window and he didn't know I had my hand there.), and I tell you after that you like the stop feature.

[@miki333sp]

same here

[@ecuperformance959]

Can we see temperature of L, or a/f ratio?

[@sjidma2249]

I used the OBD to call a mechanic on his shit when he installed a defective thermostat in my car. Highly recommend E46 owners understand these functions so they don't get taken advantage of

[@javiergrant70]

Another feature of the e-46: after turning the engine off (even with the key off the ignition altogether), the power windows (any of them) work for about 15 minutes later. This is true as long as you do not open the driver's side door.

[@tubefreak3424]

I love this one

[@meganduncan5266]

also does this in an e36

[@JuliusA3Dguy]

also any car in the world after 2000

Also an peugot 307, sooo wow

[@DannyBoy-nz2mi]

My e39 does too.

[@djroyd]

Do you have a video on how to program the remote. My remote locks the car but doesn't unlock it when I press to unlock it the driver seat moves position. If not can you do one please.

[@EvanGoyuk]

I have a video check it out my channel

[@djroyd]

Evan Goyuk cool thanks

[@MrEvomig]

Idk about the sedan or coupe, but the E46 Vert with the top disabled from the trunk you can use the key in the door & hold it in the unlock position & it will roll the windows down, hold it in the lock position and it will close the windows, and with the top enabled from the trunk the same action will actually drop or raise the convertible top, neat'o right 😏

[@reidsmyth588]

In my 2000 323i I can hold the lock and unlock buttons on the key for the same features. It’s like 5 seconds to hold and your windows will go up, great feature if you left your windows open on a nice day, can close them from inside your house.

[@andreamitchell4758]

i wonder if the flashlight charger in the glove box also turn off i never knew about the radio without the key i am going to have to try that one , what i really want to know is about the ODB2 port i have an ELM module for torque but i always unplug it because i am afraid it will kill my battery i wonder if the car will also kill power to the ODB 2 port too so do not have to keep taking the ELM module out , i was trying to figure out a way to switch the ELM on and off with the ignition but now i may not have to

[@dfull6627]

OBD2 PORT ON EVERY CAR SINCE 96 AND NONE ARE POWERED UNTIL THE KEY IS INCERTED AND TURNED TO POSITION 2

[@angie624]

Thank you just bought 2004 bmw 530i for 2,000 it’s nice, only problem so far , 1 different tire and rim and cigarette lighter doesn’t work!

[@getmedonline]

I have an 05 325ci Convertible. I also have the Carly OBD adapter with full version softwrae on my phone. Do you have any idea about how you code the car to chirp when locking and unlocking?

[@EvanGoyuk]

Yes, you need to install an alarm first

[@Ginga7r]

Not sure if the US cars do this but in the UK if you lock the glove box if you lock and unlock the doors the boot (Trunk) won't open with the switch, back there on the lid

[@tooakki]

I have a 03 525i and once I turned the headlights switch all the way off to the 12o'clock position and the lights stayed on! I just turned it back on then off. Only had the issue once though.

[@Wyte_Boy_Kannabis]

[@GumriRN]

I agree older models really are space age for when they were built. I refuse to get a new car because my 2000 hatchback has so many cool features even new cars just don’t. Of course, I’ve keep my car garage-kept for 22 years so it’s stayed in amazing shape.

[@soleamania]

فيديو ممتاز جدا و جهاز رائع 👏

[@davidhenderson3565]

Another e46 not hidden feature is the fact that it only has one useful front cup holder lol

[@anatolimitkov3976]

Actually if you are at 2.0 and only thing is to click and do the test but to not turn off the ignition and do all the stuff again just hold it and it will go back to 2 and you continue to other tests, by just holding it for a sec you go backward :-)

[@zaheralyousef94]

That beeping noise when you lock and unlock the car is that an aftermarket alarm on the car?

[@valqueenofValhalla]

Have u had issues with the coolant hoses or radiator

[@EvanGoyuk]

Yes one was leaking when I first got the car

[@donbobyn2788]

Evan...just what, actually, IS the point of doing that CLUSTER LIGHT test ? I just did mine, and it did the nice SWEEP. If s/thing was WRONG w the Cluster test...what 'would' happen/show?

[@EvanGoyuk]

The lights would not show or the handles would not sweep

[@podkriznikaljaz]

Are u sure about 12V sockets being turned off after some time? Because my brother had a 330d and the 12V charger's display was still on even after the car was turned off and locked for a couple of hours. We tried all 3 sockets located in the car and they seemed to all be delivering power constantly. We didn't try to leave it as such until the battery died completely, although it would probably take forever for a small cheap screen to drain it by itself.

[@EvanGoyuk]

Mine do shut off after the car has been off for a while

[@podkriznikaljaz]

@@EvanGoyuk Strange. Could be the fuse placed in an always-on position, if that's possible with e46's. We didn't bother checking since he ran the car every day so it wasn't the biggest issue. He since sold it so I can't check for sure. BTW great videos, thinking of buying another 330d again soon :P

[@krispewkrem3]

Side note: The pinch protection is great. Butttt lets just say you have BMX handlebars out the window and you roll up the window, it’ll probably break the window regulator. Don’t ask how I know

[@jayvee2489]

Bro how do I make it make the beep sound when you lock/unlock? One of my old ones did it but this one doesn’t😁 is that standard alarm or aftermarket? It sounds so kool!

[@EvanGoyuk]

Standard factory alarm, however I installed it myself since my car did not have it.

[@korriepayne2473]

I had the exact same question. My alarm has a very soft chirp. How do I get it to sound loud like yours. I have a 2003 325i.

[@360motorsportsmagazinealex4]

Great vid. Thanks for sharing. Do you happen to have a video on how to clean the fuel tank before installation of a new fuel pump? I installed a brand new pump and didn't know I had to clean the fuel tank. Thank you

[@hitty9]

why is your tank so dirty and in need of cleaning? Usually the pump is replaced without cleaning.

[@dfull6627]

WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO CLEAN YOUR TANK? THE TANK IS PLASTIC SO NO RUST, UNLESS OF COURSE SOMEONE OPENED YOUR UNLOCKED FUEL DOOR, REMOVED GAS CAP AND POURED DIRT INTO FILLER NECK... HIGHLY UNLIKELY. FUEL PUMP WILL HAVE SOME SORT OF SOCK FILTER JUST FOR THAT REASON. PLUS A FUEL FILTER.

[@barzolafx5261]

I need both mirrors where can I get em

[@AR-nb1iv]

does the test tells you about problems the car might have ?

[@mefastman77]

about the radio turning on without the key, it also happens in Fiat's.

[@gagebachman2373]

That’s crazy bro but I don’t think anybody asked

[@captainfallsalotatppic2508]

ANYTHING, ANYTHING AT ALL left on, even if you forget to shut off the headlights (ONLY PARKING LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED), it will automatically shut itself off after 15 minutes. The factory setting is 15 mins, not 20 mins. Although, there are many features that one can customize if one should chose to do so. For example, there is a feature in all BMWs 2000 and on, it is called, "Walk Away" after one shuts off the motor, pull back on the "High Beams" the high beams will illuminate for one minute, giving you light to illuminate your walking path as to prevent you from walking in the dark. One can change that one minute setting to go off at 30 seconds, 2 minutes. Also, interior lights can be changed so they stay on for longer periods of time. There are many factory presets that can be changed. There are tons of scan tools out on the market that plugs right into the OBD2 port of the car that can change all of those settings. Another example, BMW 2001 and newer, can remember 10 master keys (key fobs) and each person having a key fob to one particular BMW can have his or her own persettings for that one car, so as long as that one person has their own key fob, they can have their own set of preset radiostations programed, climate control set, rear view mirrors, steering wheel position, seat position, seat temp settings. Like I said, the car can have 10 masters. If one fob should get lost, the owener can plug a scanner into the OBD2 and delete that lost fob to make room for another or just leave that space blank.

[@surgeknight5725]

The radio won't turn on without the key on. I tried it on my BMW 320i e46 Japanese built

[@zackhallam914]

U missed another feature put the wing button on driver only.. Put your car in reverse the wing mirror on the driver side will dip

[@EvanGoyuk]

It’s in another part

[@tresdelengua]

How do you make the car beep when you lock and unlock. I have a hard time knowing when my car is locked if I an locking from far away because it doesnt beep. 2002 325Ci.

[@Haroon2301]

I just got a 04 325 and when unlocking or locking it doesn't make the noise is there a way to turn it on?

[@EvanGoyuk]

Your car does not have an alarm then, however you can install and code it yourself for pretty cheap.

[@n8n8n8n]

Is it possible that if I have an airbag icon failure (which has been fixed now) this test would remove the icon?
