There is one more hidden feature in the car. I found this out yesterday (accidentaly): 1) I put my car keys in my school bag. 2) I put the bag inside the car boot and tried shutting the boot. 3) The car never allowed me to shut the boot. This is an amazing feature, that saved me from a lot of inconvenience. I marvel at BMWs design feature. I owned my BMW 320i since May 2013. I found out about this feature accidentally yesterday 02/24/2023.

I have a 2014 BMW 328D M Sport, and I just love it. I have had it for over 2 years without any issues. We recently drove to Vancouver WA from California, much of the way we cruised at 75 to 80 MPH. I averaged over 43 MPG. This is the perfect road trip car. Very comfortable and after adding the BAV Sound Speaker System the sound system is awesome.

Great Video. I have the exact car in the video same color and everything. I know I see this video after owning it for 8 month! Kind of feel good and not bad for not knowing this ahead. Four were new to me, about try them out 🤙🏾

Tip in the hood latch’s on BMWs more than a couple years old: There are two cables. One from the handle to the left latch, and another from the left latch to the right latch. So if only one side opens your cable fell off or broke. I suggest using some stainless cables and attach some “emergency release” cables to both. Run them down to under the engine splash shield and tuck them away.

I didn't know a few of these. thanks!

Very helpful! Thank you

Nice video! One sad thing about BMW culture today is that they make an active effort to bind you to the dealer - even going so far as to include many installed features in some sort of "subscription" scheme. And looking in the owner's manual for oil quantity recommendations it has a phrase "Oil changes should be done only by authorized BMW dealers." HAHA...Really, REALLY?????? Thank goodness for KZread and guys like you who produce such useful videos so we can perform simple maintenance on our wonderful cars.

Thank you Jerry much!

You can "force touch" the cruise control lever up or down to increase or decrease by 5mph at a time. So if you're going 72 and push the lever up all the way (you'll feel a "bump") it will go to 75. Do it again and it will go to 80, then 85, etc.

I'm thinking of buying a 328i 2015 and wanted your advice if its a good car to get or if there is another model under 22k that is more reliable. Also since I wont be doing my own servicing can you give me a realistic idea how much I will be spending yearly to maintain this car, service and repairs? If the carfax doesnt include a list of services performed over the life of the car, is the final dealer inspection enough to know the truth as to the condition of the car? Basically can a mechanic determine overall condition if they dont have a service history on the car? Thanks

Great video but mine doesn't have finger sensor wondeirng if that's the same model 320i Xdrive 2014

This is like an instruction manual in video form :) When you were in the hidden menu, why didn't you UNLOCK the rest of the menu. Then you can see the speedometer, rev counter, fuel tank and some other features in digital form on the dashboard.... THAT is a hidden feature :)

I would like to ask what happens if you push the ignitiom button during the car is moving or moving faster. For example when you accidentaly push the ignition on highway. Car stops ?? Or you brake the engine?

It wasn't mentioned in the video, so I'll mention it here. The Europe side parking light feature is still active. Europe isn't required to have side reflectors as in the USA, they use one-sided parking lights if on the side of the road. To do this: Turn OFF the car. Push and hold the turn signal either left or right and only one headlight/angel eye & one taillight will come on for that side. The other side of the car will be dark. This alerts drivers you are on the roadside without draining too much battery. Hope you find it fun and helpful.

All three air bags blew, my first BMW was totaled. Needless to say, I'm sold on BMW's safety record. I have an F30 Luxury Line now. It's very comfy, well mannered, but flip it in Sport Mode and it rocks.

Beside the park feature and the hood latch and the sunroof vents features you'll find most of what you mentioned on BMWs from 04 and up

We have a 2016 320 I but for some reason when we hold that button down for 10 seconds we don’t get anything that says “test”. We’re just trying to find out what the battery life is since we just purchased the vehicle. Any suggestions?

as a techsavy new owner of a 2013 bmw I knew most and some I knew do not exists - at least in europe the touch lock from outside is an addon-option (which I do not have).

Also press and hold the traction control button to completely switch off DSC (on the cluster there will be a bright DSC off not traction that you are used to after pressing once) , if you are not an advanced driver i will advise you not to drive the car when dynamic stability control is completely off you will crash your car.

What version of F30 is this? 320 or 328, any difference of feature between sports line and M version

the sunroof feature and the ambient lighting for the shift lever, were on my 2004 acura tl....

If you accidentally tapped the flappy paddles and engaged the sequential shifting, you can disengage it by quickly tapping downshift, upshift and downshift.

Here in the Bay Area European cars are a dime a dozen so it's easy to find mechanics that specialize in them, but if you're somewhere else it might not be so easy. I'm not worried that the vehicle is going to leave me stranded and 200k miles seems reasonable.
