Just picked up my M240I today which is an incredible car but didn’t have time to go through all the features - brilliant easy to understand video of all the features especially the 360 camera view along with rear view which has really improved in terms of quality
Thank You Kelsey! My appreciated...............very good overview! The intelligent safety and opening the sunroof (using the double click) were of most interest to me.
So so helpful, thank you! We bought our new X5 4 days ago and i've been trying to go through the manual etc... which can take a long time, so we have found your video to be awesome!
Thank you so much! I bought an X5 M50i last week and we are looking forward to the delivery maybe in Summer. That helps alot! Did not know, that it is possible to close the trunk back door just with holding the button. I think I will watch your video over and over again to get all the information. Greetings from Northern Germany!
9:30 You can add the Synchronize button as one of the 8 shortcut buttons below by holding down the shortcut button when Synchronize is selected. I have Synchronize set the shortcut button 8
@@slik sorry if you have already made your decision. But when I was looking for a car I looked at the x5 and the gle and I went with the x5 because it had more standard safety features and the car Is over all better in my opinion. Only complaint is the Digital gauge cluster is brighter in the gle then it is in the x5. Hope this helps.
@@kelseyvogel3050 I came by United BMW a couple of weeks ago and bought an X5 from Joe. Thanks again for the great in-depth review. I thought I saw you there but wasn't certain. I will be sure to say hello if I see you when I bring it in for servicing. Tell Joe to hand over your share of the sales commissions. :-)
It's actually not able to be adjusted anymore. 2021 models have something called a 48v mild hybrid system that removed that function to better support the batteries
Kelsey , had a question, I have the BMW X5 40i . I see the street shown at the bottom of the dashboard all the time, even though I haven't turned navigation on. Can you please tell me how to turn the internal gps off
Don’t be scared! That’s your intelligent safety system. Push that button and you can adjust the sensitivity of your lane departure warning, blind spot warning and frontal collision warning
Can you go into reverse without pushing the button in on the gearstick? Can you force the gear stick into reverse or do you have to push the button in at the same time.
Thanks for the information. I’m picking up my 330i tomorrow at Ocala Fl BMW, and I need help in understanding everything. You did a great job explaining everything.
@@kelseyvogel3050 Hi kelsey I just tried using your method and it works thanks a million Can i know does the latest also has this issue ? I am sure bmw has many negative feedback about this features
Online it says x5 can upgrade to air suspension， but I do not see that option anywhere on the bwm website for x5. Any ideas? I heard it adds a lot of comfort
What are the silver plus and minus levers just behind and on either side of the steering wheel that pull forward with your fingers while gripping the steering wheel?
I can't import songs from a USB stick or CD into the hard drive of the BMW active tourer 225 (hybrid) as I could in my previous BMW 1 series. Could you kindly explain how to?
Kelsey have a 2018 650i, no one has been able to tell me what the small black button is under the dial on the dash for the climate system. Can you help??
Thanks! Informative and am already a BMW owner. Soon I will be changing to X3 xdrive 30i. Any other videos u reccomend for information on the functionality? Does it differ by which country I purchase the car from?
@@kelseyvogel3050 Hi Kelsey, would X3 xdrive 30i have that button on active safety feature button that u showed? And would the features within that be the same for X3 ? Thanks!
My buttons on the left side of the gear shifter ie comfort , sport ect freeze at 3 times a week. After I park it they will start back working after an hour or so. I have reset the I drive several times. What gives?
Thanks Kelsey wish dealers in the UK did this, very useful especially as haven't owned a BMW for some years and have new one on order, X5 45e due next month. Question, on the individual driver assistance settings, is that particular to your key so might the 2 key holders have 2 settings which default to that configuration when the car is operated by the particular key?
That’s a great question! I believe so but you’d have to try it out. I do know that things like mirrors are saved to the key but I haven’t tried the Driving Assistant features.
Both myself and my Husband drive our car and we both have very different seating preferences, I know you explained how to set the seating for 1 & 2, (is 1 & 2 the driver and passenger seat or is it the driver preference and we hit 1 or 2 for our preference when each of us is driving?) is there a way to set the seat to so when i am driving it will automatically adjust to my setting and same for my Husband when he is driving? Right now it seems to stay at "1" (driver seat) setting and "2" (passenger seat) setting? I'm sure our sales person told us that whoever starts up the car then the Drivers Seat will adjust to that persons preference (by the key used)?
So 1 is primary driver and 2 is secondary driver. It won’t adjust automatically while you’re driving but you can make your selection when you start the car and have it adjust to your preference that way. It’s a little weird with the key because it depends what profile that key is linked to. If you don’t have a profile it’ll default to whatever the seat was set to most recently
Thank you for the video. Really helpful. It’s my first BMW and I love. I have a question though, I tend to spend my lunch hour in the car (not turned on) and the lights inside take somewhere from 15min-30 mins to turn off. Is there a way to turn off manually? I feel my battery might drain if I continue to do this 5 days a week.
lol we love our new X5 2021 45e this was helpful, maybe you can do video on the hybrid? We need to go to the dealer and sit with the genius but we are working a lot and buying a house. A video would be 👍🏾 hybrid 45e!
Hey Kelsey, love your videos. I just got a 2022 X4 and every time I press the air recirculation button it automatically turns off after a couple of minutes and lets fresh air in. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Thanks...
Thank you, thank you. You got me through the maze (at home)! When I spend time with my "Genius", I will be much more comfortable, and hence, learn faster.
This is by far THE best genius video that I’ve seen. Direct and to the point. Easy to understand. No excessive commentary. Nice job!
Thank you!
Gifts car or any things to partial me and oblidge thereby Thanks
My Google Locations Lend me
My some money and pay money with my personal email through your apps on Google apps Thanks
Thank you ! Just got x5 M50i and realized that it requires a PhD to figure out all of the functions 😢. Your video help me a lot !
Kelsey this is really good. There is SOO much and not all of it is obvious.
You’re the top online BMW genius for sure.

The brake is opposite up to turn it on “set parking brake” down to release it.
Parking brake functionality was presented backwards. - It’s actually up for “on” and down for “off”

Thank you soooo much. We bought a 2022 x5 about a week ago. There’s soooo much stuff to learn. This was super helpful.
Most comprehensive, informative video I have seen. Very helpful.
This is so great. Could you do one covering differences/ additions for the X7?
Thank you great video. Can you also show a how to on adding multiple driver profiles with associating seat memories set?
One of the best vlogs - Thank you

Great video! I live in Atlanta and may come by United in the next few days to see what all X5's you have in stock.
It’s a great time to check out X5’s! We have a pretty diverse x5 inventory and get 2-3 trucks a day with more

Glad I could help!
Best video hands down. Have a 2020 BMW X5 and learned a lot! Thx
The reason the phone charging pad is either horizontal or vertical depends on whether the vehicle has the heated/cooled cup holders or not.
Not necessarily
My moms with the heated an cooled cup holders has it horizontal.
My 2021 has the pad vertical but wireless charging became no longer available I was told
very useful video, Give her a raise please . You look beautiful as well
Great video I had problem Gas tank stuck BMW 730l any solution ?
Awesome video, very helpful! Do you know how to turn off the auto start stop feature on a 2021 X5? The button appears to be missing now..?
It's actually not able to be adjusted anymore. 2021 models have something called a 48v mild hybrid system that removed that function to better support the batteries
Sport mode disables Start/Stop.

What is the little button to the right of the volume knob and left of the first preset button?
What does the little button with the car next to the hazard lights do? It has a light ring that changes color. I’m nervous to press it…
Don’t be scared! That’s your intelligent safety system. Push that button and you can adjust the sensitivity of your lane departure warning, blind spot warning and frontal collision warning
Can you go into reverse without pushing the button in on the gearstick? Can you force the gear stick into reverse or do you have to push the button in at the same time.
I have 3 red buttons in my X5 and I really love them
Hi nice video, wat is de button in the globebox? Zilver button
That was suprisingly informative. Thanks!
Thanks for the information. I’m picking up my 330i tomorrow at Ocala Fl BMW, and I need help in understanding everything. You did a great job explaining everything.
Nice video🎉 But I have one question, Do you know How to set Eco pro by default?❤
Not available
Excellent video. May I know the interior color - is it the Cognac or Coffee ?
It’s cognac
You are awesome and so easy to listen to.
Does BMW have any sentry recording, live 360 degree view? Similar to Tesla, which is half of the price of BMWs?
Question 🙋🏽♂️:
How to disable ignition auto off when open the driver door. It’s annoying
I am using X5 idrive40e
There isn’t a way to disable that as it’s a part of the 45e hybrid system. You can try putting it in sport but no promises
@@kelseyvogel3050
Hi kelsey
I just tried using your method and it works thanks a million
Can i know does the latest also has this issue ? I am sure bmw has many negative feedback about this features
Thank you! My X7 M50i is on its way!
Can you pause the music on the steering wheel?
Online it says x5 can upgrade to air suspension， but I do not see that option anywhere on the bwm website for x5. Any ideas? I heard it adds a lot of comfort
I’m very pleased with these videos, next next car is a 2021 BMW but also my very first new car
This was really helpful as I was trying to figure my new X5 got deliver couple hours ago
Hello Kelsey, I have idrive 7, 2022 g80 m3, my iphone digital key not working at sudden, how I get it back without go from step 1
Works before
You can change in settings what mode your car starts in; i have a 2020 330i and i have it start in eco pro
3rd parties can sometimes help with that! Dealerships unfortunately cannot offer insight on something like that
This was so helpfully. I just switched from Mercedes to BMW and was so confused with all the buttons. Keep up the good work! 😀
Glad you liked it!
i liked it thx and great work Kelsie 👍👍
But did you give it a Doug Score®?
I’d give it a 10/10
What are the silver plus and minus levers just behind and on either side of the steering wheel that pull forward with your fingers while gripping the steering wheel?
I found the answer. They are paddles that change gears from the steering wheel when in Sport driving mode.
I can't import songs from a USB stick or CD into the hard drive of the BMW active tourer 225 (hybrid) as I could in my previous BMW 1 series. Could you kindly explain how to?
So, congestion assist or adaptive cruise control does not come as standard on 2020 X5?
I didn't notice one on the steering wheel during the video.
No, that’s available under the Driving Assistant Pro package on most models
Haha, comes standard on just about every Asian model even if costs $18k.
Kelsey have a 2018 650i, no one has been able to tell me what the small black button is under the dial on the dash for the climate system. Can you help??
That sounds like the ambient temperature sensor but it's hard to say without seeing it
Great video, is there any way to turn off the overhead lights when I unlock my vehicle (2020 X3 M40i), I can't find any information ..Thank you
You can try the Interior Lighting menu under settings
Can you do a video on the 1 series
unfortunately those aren't available in the US
I needed this right here.. got my X7 last week and could not figure out the sunroof 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😫😫😫😫😫😫

Hi Kelsey, would you do a reviews on 2021 X6 with Msport XDrive40i please! thanks
Do you have the X7 is that why does all of the stuff in the touchscreen oh God
Is there an auxiliary connection
Can all safety setting configured per driver and can be set as key memory for that user?
This is an excellent and friendly video! Maybe BMW could add this video to the Operators Manual videos in the car?
That would be cool!
