@uncommonsense_3602 3 года назад

You can still warm your car up and lock your car while leaving the key fob in, just take the key that goes in the fob and lock the door. If your car is running it can be jacked (with or without fob...unless theres some sort of key fob distance to the car). But I did that for about 6 months then the key/battery light came on, then I stopped. The slot charges your key fob while youre driving. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong, but I'm still new to all of it.

When you had your car on first ignition position without engine starting. You had your yellow engine light turn on 1:06 and when you started engine, light went of. Does your e87 always show that engine light before starting it. Cuz it shows the same with mine and goes of when i start the car.

@miikapalokangas5348 3 года назад

Only works with UK and US BMW. It's there so a vallet service can park your car without you leaving the key behind. In Eastern and Northern Europe it's unusual to find a vallet.

@uncommonsense_3602 3 года назад

No disrespect but that doesn't make any sense. Seems it would disrupt the normal flow of the valet system of handing valet keys or leave keys in car, get ticket number, return to valet with ticket number, get in car with keys already in it. Also the BMWs comes with a valet key that doesn't have access to certain features (trunk, glove box etc). I will admit Im not sure if it is standard for a new BMW to come with key fobs and a valet key, nor have I ever used valet before. Again no disrespect, and I am new to BMW so I don't mind being 100% wrong. I will check BMW manual at some point because some of the suggestions in the comments also dont make any sense.

@miikapalokangas5348 3 года назад

no, the car will power down after a while. These things are quite smart. With my 2010X5 if there is no movement after about 20 minutes the car makes that annoying beep for about 30 seconds then powers down. Shuts off all lights and everything. I am a new owner so I don't really know much about BMWs but they seem pretty smart if a bit finiky.

Changed about $400 worth of sensors, changed all the leaking seals, changed the coils, sparkplugs and all the fluids. I tried to get my regular mechanic to do the work and he claimed that "BMWs are a nightmare to work on" so he wasn't interested. I find that hey are dead simple. Much easier than my Firebird or my old M320. The only issue i have with bmw is their insistence on using that dumbass torx head everywhere. Dumbest idea ever. One slip and its rounded.
