More mistakes, Not using the right key fob and having settings change on you. Changing air pressure in your tires as the weather gets cold. Accidentally choosing the guest profile when asked to select a profile. Knowing that there is no spare tire with run flat tires. Don’t store the key fob too close to the car as it will run down the key fob battery. Making sure you change the battery in the key fob every couple of years. If you are having unknown issues with the infotainment system, not knowing that it can easily be reset by pressing the volume button and holding it for 30 seconds. For Spotify that you need a premium account to use it. BMW making electric vehicles. The number 1 mistake is not enjoying the car enough. It’s a pleasure to drive, enjoy every mile. Almost enough for a second video. Great videos, I really enjoy them.

Adding to my earlier comment on blinker stalk functionality you can also turn off your turn signal by the same movement when it stays on after turning the corner by pushing it lightly in the same direction as before.

Thanks for the comment Gustavo! I've found the service mileage to be very inconsistent with the vehicles, yes typically every oil change is every 10,000 miles but the service intervals on my last car were off by even 4k miles for the brakes. They say the mileage can very depending how one is driving. So if there is different style of driving in different situations then its possible that it will not be accurate. Regardless, there are sensors within the vehicle that are separate from the intervals, so if anything was due for service the vehicle would let you know.

I bought a 2019 BMW X1 a few days ago (in the UK) and your last jokey comment about the blinkers - just touching the stalk up, only gives 3 blinks. I was on the motorway yesterday and it really needs double that or more to shift lanes on a busy road. Pushing up firmly seems to keep it on permanently and then you have to pull it down again to turn off. I had a Ford before this and their stalk has a self-cancelling feature, which is far better.

Is there an explanation why my wireless charger (M x6 competition) won't charge my phone? I've taken the case off, used a different phone and still no signal. When I asked at the dealership, their answer was that it is used only to charge the fob. Are they wrong?

@BeamerView

Жыл бұрын

Hey Meg, thanks for reaching out. Couple things I would check for. Many BMW's the last couple years have been having wireless charging shortages so I would make sure on the window sticker that it is listed on there. The way you know its working is that when you place it on there, you should see a blue light pop up near the phone on the charging tray. Phones also have to be newer and compatible to the wireless charging feature which im sure you are already aware of. I do believe you are doing it correctly, but yes make sure the case is off and make sure it is placed flat and centered on the tray. The dealer is incorrect on this one. The key fob is battery operated which you can switch out by pulling the back piece of the key fob off, so it's not rechargeable. I would try another dealer if one is around you. Another thing you could refer to, BMW makes 2 different trays. The one that is a charging tray should have a battery and thundebolt in the center like this picture. www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-bmw-parts/charging-device/84105a3e813/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA_P6dBhD1ARIsAAGI7HDPkPTpTKrIVjB1wI58W2OrY3DB8m2fTukpGOrU1GWM53-EZD1BOrAaAsJnEALw_wcB If it doesn't have that then for sure it cannot wireless charge.

Great video - does anyone know how to disable the auto headlights. Every time I start the car they come on and won't switch off while car in drive.

If you're referring to the headlights, those control you'll see near your knee. You'd want to switch it to the OFF position. If you were referring to the auto highbeams, for this generation vehicle, it's located on the turn signal stock, below the BC button.

I have the kick function and it o my works like 1 time out of 10. Please help

It should be a straight kick front to back at a medium pace. The point of your toe should be close to hitting the bumper so that's the angle you should be aiming for. Takes some practice to find the sweet spot. I have seen this feature act up a couple times in the past but also make sure you have your key fob on you when doing this.

how to programme garage door opener, I have a 5 and a 6 Cabrio both have this feature but impossible to get either to work. (Yeah, I have seen vids on how...but no!)

Great video but in the UK, remote start IS allowed. My Volvo can do it. I collect my 730i on Friday and believe it also has it.

Mistake #18 is actually buying one. The BMW N63 and its variants including the S63, is notorious for all sorts of issues - resulting in 2 separate lawsuits. Problems have not been resolved in these new variants of the N63 and S63 engines..

On the home screen can I get just a main screen profile of eg media or nav has it got to be split screen

@BeamerView

Only in NAV is split screen available. The widgets that you see on the home screen are customizable though which is similar to having a split screen though.

im in the UK I dont think we have the blinker lever but that is a good idea.

Letting it dangle and rub against the paint would lead to minor, superficial scratches. Yes you can buff this out.

I just purchased 2023 x5 m kit, the fact that once u open Car Play (for google map) u can no longer listen to radio! Is there any informative videos i can relate to? Thanks

@BeamerView

Жыл бұрын

Yes that is quite unfortunate. Unfortunately you can’t have Apple CarPlay and the radio because both of them are different audio sources. But one thing you could try is to download a app such as iHeartRadio so then that way you can play the radio from your phone essentially and still have Google maps playing at the same time.

Wait. What?! That's cool. The trip computer can reset itself when you fill up automatically.

The inside rear view mirror is only manually adjustable, the rear glass, there should be a small switch that you can turn at the END OF THE WIPER STICK/STOCK, just twist it and it should turn it on, and to wash, twist harder.

The lock button does NOT work if it is cold out though. I knew that about the hood latch, and it is also true to close it, you have to push twice on the hood for it to close completely. My iPhone won't shut off when I turn my BMW off, it just keeps playing until I lock my SUV. So annoying!!! I wish you would tell me how to make that stop.

Hey I Just got my first BMW and I see that I have a lot to go thru and see if I have in mine. But there is one thing I really wondering about, and hope anybody can answer. I just got an BMW X5 M50D M-sport 2014 modell with 381hk Diesel. How big is the fuel tank? I live in Norway but I don't think that matters. The seller didn't know and I can't find it anywhere.

If you have Driver's Assistance Professional its the radar camera that keeps an eye on your head movements making sure you are facing forward when the vehicle is driving itself! If you don't have that feature, the notch isnt for anything.
