Thank you very much for this video. Got my first bmw this week and couldn’t for the life of me understand half the buttons or where the odometer was. This really helped. Thank you!

Great video! For someone not familiar with the new BMW cockpit this is a brilliantly clear review of the new layout! Thx so much!

Very helpful. Just got my first BMW and this saved a lot of time reading through manuals. Thanks.

Glad it helped! welcome to BMW!

Waiting on delivery for my first ever BMW which will replace my 19 year old stick-shift Volkswagen - so this video is quite helpful in getting me acquainted with what all of the buttons and knobs do, much more so than the PDF of the owners manual!

Thank you. Perfect video for me. Just got my 1st BMW less than a week ago. This saved me so much time.

JP, as always thanks for great informative videos. On the idrive 7 on the Doors/vehicle access screen there is a check option for "Turn off vehicle after opening doors". I have checked that option but my vehicle does not turn off when I am in park and open the drivers door. Can you explain this option in more detail? Thanks

@BMWofFW

3 жыл бұрын

Funny you mention that... I found that SAME ISSUE! What the feature is supposed to do is exactly that, turn off everything when the drivers door opens, however for some reason it doesn’t seem to work perfectly or consistently, or even at all sometimes. I’ve reached out to BMWNA to see if it’s a software glitch or a feature that’s active but we can’t use properly in the US (similar to how PHEVs have an option for 16amps for level 1 charge, even though you’ll only see up to about 12 on a 110 outlet, but I digress) . I’ll be sure to let you know what corporate says. I’ve manually switched the code on with success via coding but since the option is in the main menu it should work without coding. Hope this helps, and thanks for the your comment Joseph!

@@BMWofFW Thanks for the reply. I have seen videos with a BMW in ACC mode that recognizes traffic lights and the vehicle comes to a stop at a red light. Is that being implemented in European BMW vehicles now or is it only in the research stage. That is one of the complaints I have with the ACC it is somewhat autonomous when you are following a vehicle but if you are the lead car then you have to control your speed and be ready to stop at an upcoming traffic light.

@@josephmiller4003 sorry for the delayed reply, the traffic camera recognition is something that is an add on option for newer cars or a la cart buy in the BMW Connected store online (of in your my BMW app if you’ve upgraded to that) it’s separate from the ACC system and is more a geo based service with your navigation. Hope that helps Joseph!

Left on the shifter is Sport Shifting program, the sport button changes chassis, engine map, throttle, and if triggered things like launch control and traction modification.
