BMW HIDDEN FEATURES/FUNCTIONS (E90,E91,E92,E93) 

My favorite hidden feature is the little stick/column on the left side of the steering wheel. It's actually this nifty thing that allows other drivers to know when you want to turn

You forgot one of the hidden features that I use during the summer time when it's really hot. If you hold down the unlock button on your remote for about 10 to 15 seconds all the windows will roll down and then your moonroof. Great for airing the car out quickly on a hot day.

I didn't even know I had a BMW!

The rear view mirror in your car is self dimming using electro-chromatic technology. There is a sensor in the mirror toward the front of the car, you can see a window that covers it, that detects whether it’s light out or not. A second sensor is behind the mirror glass pointing toward the rear of the vehicle to detect headlights behind you. If the front sensor detects night time, and the rear sensor detects headlight glare, it automatically dims the mirror to an optimum level. You can check the system during the day by putting your finger over the front facing sensor and shining a flashlight at the top center of the mirror. It will gradually go dark. The ones that have a turning clown nose are prism mirror that have two reflective surfaces. I hope I’m not repeating something. But I scrolled thru most of the comments to check. Take care and thanks for sharing.

Great video man!!! I love finding hidden features in cars. Please do a part two if you find some more cool stuff. Really like your channel.

Thanks for the video. I've found that side mirror function is really useful. It's a great way to ensure no curbing mistakes on your wheels. there's a reason the owners manual is pretty thick. It's really worth reading.

Nice job. I did learn a few items so THANKS!

Bro look at how far you’ve came in 3 year !!!! Super proud of you no lie , keep killing it. +1 sub ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼

2:48 They've had that for a while, my 2000 X5 was able to twist to change the mirror, but my 2007 750Li does not twist...

The Memory Function works with your radio too.. It even gives you the last mp3 you were listening to. Very useful when 2 people are using it.. Both my BMWs have this function..

Thanks for the tips. I’m picking up a 2011 x3 xdrive this week so look forward to testing some of these out

i dont own a bmw, nor am i legally old enough to even drive a car, but i still end up wandering youtube and finding good channels. +1 sub

The red bulb or lens on the center mirror is a IR remote receiver for your keyfob. Most mirrors self adjust to bright headlights behind you so no manual adjustment needed. Also the auto unlock feature with key insertion can be programmed out by the dealer or do it your self with a laptop, software, and proper USB/OBDII cable. Also if you purchase one with only one keyfob you can purchase new ones on line and also a programmer for the immobilizer for much cheaper than the dealer charges. I had to do this for an Audi I purchased. It only cost me $40 for two new keyfobs with immo chip, $25 to have key cut, and $100 for programmer.

My favorite feature on my 335i is on the auto transmission in D or S you can take you foot and give a fast stab at the gas pedal and it will down shift you transmission a gear and you can even do it fast twice and it will down shift from like 5th to 3rd.its a very cool option

Thank you, this was very helpful.

Outstanding. Keep sharing thank you so much! My grandson has a BMW and I'm sharing with him.

For the reverse parking mirror tilting down, push the mirror control button to driver side. for those driving on the right side it needs to be on the right.

Another cool feature... when you use your FOB to unlock your car, and keep your unlock button pressed, it will lower your front and rear windows, followed by your sunroof, thereby allowing you to let go of the heat build-up inside your car before you sit there!

Manuals are so clinical, thanks for making things a lot clearer.

Ty never knew my car had this and I’ve been driving this car for four years now I got to 2013 535i M series package addition and I love it.

I have had 4 BMWs and I'm clueless on most of those things you mentioned. Thank you very much. R ed nose under the rear view? I would ask, what is that? Thanks bro.

My biggest criticism with the e9x was their silly system of having two different dash pads depending on whether or not you had navigation.

ayyye young Nour. Got me watching classics while waiting for the new

Great job on this video, you're voice is very clear and I like that you took the time to explain every feature you know of...thanks for your time on this!

The passenger mirror has always been a pain in the ass for me when I go to reverse. The mirror faces downward so thanks for this clip. It's very helpful. Awesome job!

Hey man, you have a lotta bmw knowledge! I've had Beamers for 20 years and it took me ages to learn all this stuff. I don't think I ever knew about the reindeer nose, although I always wondered what the heck it was. The one secret feature you forgot was opening and closing all the windows using the remote (while out of the car, press and hold down the lock / unlock button to close / open all windows and sunroof) OR the key in the door (turn the key and extra step to the right and hold). If you haven't seen it before, prepare to be amazed! Anyway, great job really enjoyed your video.

This was a great video, thanks for sharing. I learned so much about my car.

I knew about two of these features. Thanks for the info.

Another feature on your car is,if it is frozen and you want to warm it up while not in the car,you can put the key in the ignition,start it up for 3 sec,turn off the ignition,remove the key then push the start button again without the key in the ignition then get out of the car and lock it while it is running to defrost the front windscreen on de-mist

There are a total of 10 memory slots for 10 different keys. Depending how each key fob, the radio's station preset will change too.

Thanks. I did not knew those function you explained.

Dude, I'm even more excited to be getting my own E90 335xi! Thanks for the video!

Oldie but goodie! Gotta love the cool stuff that no one really checks out 😀

YO 3 MILLION VIEWS

thanks bro, video was really helpful , ive had bmw for nearly 2 years , I didn't have a clue about the red nose under the rear view .

Great video. I like the brilliant folks in here, and given I bought a used 325xi wagon 06 manual from a used lot, I wasn't explained these things. It also takes time to read all 7 manuals. So I did learn a lot from Nour. Good job!

The spare light is used for the fuse box which is located in the glove box.

Does no-one read the manual anymore?

this video makes me love my 7 series even more great video

did you do any upgrades to your gearbox? it changes up really smoothly... mines a 330D and I believe it isnt as quick at shifting as yours

The inside of your center console has a 1-0 switch for cooling your beverage and what not. A black switch next to the cup holder. Literally found that out a week ago 😂

One thing I didn't see you mention is the rear fog lamps. The button is enabled for Europe, but for the US there doesn't appear to be a rear fog lamp option. ALL of the switches have the rear fog lamp, however. If you pull the switch out, you'll find a set of "stand off" feet that keep the fog lamp button from being depressed. Shaving those feet off will re-enable the rear fog lamps.

Great info!! I have a 440i and 328i and most of this info I never knew...the mirror turning down in reverse drove me nuts..Thanks!

WOW MAN, thanks for all of this new info that I seriously didn't know about

another hidden feature in the glove box "owner's manual" it covers every feature on the car.

it seems the indicator switch is hidden to most BMW owners.

Thanks a lot! Very helpful. Learned some new shit!!

Thanks Nour loved your video i came up with your video and just when i bought a 320i too, i try all these features tomorrow.... Great video keep them coming buddy.

if you press and hold the unlock button on the key fob for about 5 sec. the windows go down.

there is another manual key built into the key fob, one of the corners pulls out, in case all power dies you can still get access

Excellent vid. Thanks so much for this.

Awesome. The tip with the boot opening will be especially useful. I will also try to rear view mirror one for the gate.

Wow have the same car and never new about that dimmer option. Subscribed because of that. Thanks man.

The key memory function was implemented in e39 first i think, also the reverse side-mirror function.

Thank you brother. Just radomly found your video

Dang I learned so much in this short video. Keep it up. Thank you

I enjoyed your video. Thank You. "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm", R.W. Emerson

When you unlock the door with a kfob it will adjust the seats to the last driver with that kflob.

I was always curious as to how that long spare key worked. Bought my car new in 2010 and still don't know a lot about the car. Thanks for the features

wow,just learned new stuff,good job.

Can't believe you missed the coolest feature of all. There's a secret/hidden DC power adaptor underneath the glove box on the passenger side. You kind of have to get on the ground and look up to find it the first time. It's in a perfect spot for radar detectors, or other things that need power while driving.

I have a X5 and I just found out that when I open my car with my key and hold it for 4 sec or so all the windows come down! I was so happy!

Great video! Now I know why my right mirror wasn't going down all the time when I put the car in reverse :)

great video thanks!

Just remembered something else, the vent holes for the dash blower motor are on the side of the center console next to where the glovebox is. The engineers did not think to put any kind of grate or screen over those holes so if your A/C or heat are set to high and the fan is blowing at max speed DO NOT OPEN YOUR GLOVEBOX! This happened to me when a friend was riding with me, he had put some paper napkins in the glovebox and the A/C was blasting, a little later he went to take one out and when he opened the glove the blower motor sucked in the napkins. That was a world of pain, could not use the A/C and it was over $600 to get them out and warranty did not cover it. I argued till I was blue in the face that it was a fault of BMW for not covering those huge vent holes with some sort of grate or screen, or warning you not to put lightweight things in your glovebox, but they denied that. In some states where the registration is smaller and very light it will suck in your car registration then you are doubly screwed since if you have been asked for that by a cop and it goes into your blower instead he is not going to be happy.

If this comment gets 100 likes ill be buying a m-bumper. Ill be showing you guys the full process of installing, painting and all costs. Also might have to drill pdc holes. Let me know

Thanks for the heads-up on the reverse dipping mirror function on the passenger side of the car - didn't know that. Have had it on previous BMW's, but my current F31 did not 'appear' to have the reverse dipping passenger mirror, which I put down to not having the folding mirror option - now it does!

Hey thanks!! I didn’t know I ha a spare key in my gc.....Great job!!

The mirror dip only works on foldable mirrors, because those are controlled via LIN bus, while ordinary heated power mirrors are controlled directly by the junction box

Hey mate. It is because you have the 330i with iDrive package you have so many features. My 325i without iDrive doesn't have those features you showed. cheers

WOW! I learned something. Thanks.

Thank you for the video,,this is why I love my Bimmers. 🚘

cool bro thanks for the info.. I have a 2013 E93 M3

Thanks for making this video - I am on my second BMW and never knew the purpose of the rudolf nose! Great video!

Just bought a 2007 328i a few days ago, came without a manual. This is pretty cool. My "Rudolph Bulb" does actually twist as well, which I figured out on the way home after buying the car. Excited to see how many other things I disover down the line.

I did not know any of those things so thank you so much 😊

Great video. I wasn't aware of the keys learning individual comfort access settings. Also, just in case it hasn't already been pointed out: VALET is pronounced: VAH-LAY Just for future reference. Keep up the great work!

00:47 thanks a bunch for that! I was starting to think the side mirror feature on my e92 was broken. guess it was just a matter of side selection :p

Thanks for this video I'm a new Bmw owner and you helped out alot ✌️

Some great info thanks!

Yes!! BMW hides these features in the Glove Box, near the Owners Manual

Seems like you don't know that there is a "spare key" inside the actually key, used for when there's no power.

Very helpful! Thank you.

Thank you very helpful

How about them not telling anyone that the cars come with blinkers

Hey, great video for NEW used BMW owners but for those of us whom are previous BMW owners these are features that you're walked through before you leave the dealership. You're spot on with all the features, great job though... I like your presentation better than BMW... Kudos.... !!! and yes most functions are part of the Valet Pkgs: seats, mirror, radio and such move and changes once the keys are switched... if you have the premium pkgs... Again Great Job and Presentation... we need more of you to help the newer BMW owners who did not purchase new as I have on many occasions .

KUDOS to you my friend! That mirror thing baffled me for years!!

Man that was super funny when u found an extra feature then another... Crack up. Great vid.

That side mirror thing is sinds 1988... i had that on my E34 ....same with the rear mirror view.

Don't forget the keepwarm (or "Rest") button on the dash.

Great job young man!

Awesome features. I didn't know a few. Excellent video.

Thanks my friend for sharing this and don't worry about the brainwashed folks who are being critical of you, you are doing a positive service to us BMW owners so that we become more familiar with our cars. Keep doing you and don't sweat those who are here to Hate.

When you enter inside bmw you become hidden just close your eyes,amazing

Awesome info! Thank you!

Excellent!! I love this car hope some day I can buy one

Thank you for the 411 .... ps your so handsome 😍😍

Great job. I learned some new things-without reading all of the extremely verbose manual. Some folks prefer the visual presentation. To those who posted snarky comments, if you learned nothing new, be quietly smug and let others discover a few new things. Also, “valet” can be pronounced, “ Val-let” as per the British.

thank you for your video, you did a great job. thank you
