Your knowledge of BMW is impeccable! Although not something that would interest me much I’ll still take the time to watch this video bc I’m sure there’s something I can learn from you! Thanks brother!
He visto todos sus videos y sabe mucho de estos coches y a mí me gusta ese te modelo
Ovidiu sa nu te lași, ne ajuți enorm pe cei pasionați de marca și care vrem sa lucram singuri la ele din pasiune. Bravo
Da cine a zis ca se lasa ? Dar daca va fi cazul , o sa va anunta !
Great job..as always. Florida is lucky to get you.
Thanks 👍
As usual, clean and great work
I appreciate that
Thanks for the video, interesting and helpful as always!
Thanks for watching it!
From Ro i wish you all the best in the new continent !
Nice job. But there will be very interesting to see how the car recognizes non oem part. For example if you put in reverse, PDC disables rear sensors.
Excellent job camarade
Top quality wiring work there. All the best on the move
Thanks 👍
Sei il numero 1 ovidiu, sei la nostra salvezza sulle bmw, continua così 💪🙏
Florida get ready, Ovi is on its way 😁
Good luck and Enjoy 👍
Yes! Thank you!
Next move should be to Georgia! It’s right next door to Florida! 😅
Indeed, I have found in GA shops with land at a good price, but currently, I insist on FL 😀
If you retrofit oem tow hitch, after addiing in FA is it necessary to code or flash EGS, DSC or other modules?
Yes
Just code or flashing is needed?
Clean job as always.... regards from Poland ;) 22:40 - a rare view.... birth of the plug.... ;) (btw. Out of curiosity, how much does such a service and installation cost in the USA?)
Hello! I don't know exactly, but at the dealership with original parts, I think it is something around 2 to 3 thousand
I thought i was the first one to see the video
Hey Ovidiu. Trust all is well and safe with you. Hows your trip so far? Welcome to Florida and hopefully you will close by. Please let me know if I can be of any help to you relocating. By the way, my name is Roberto. Catch ya later.
Hey ! Thanks for helping out! Yes, everything is well. Currently, we're in Pensacola, but I'm searching for a shop to buy or someone to associate with in starting a professional BMW shop here in FL !
@@MOvidiu thanks for replying. Well, I’m in the Tampa area and I don’t know where you are planning to land though. But I can definitely use ur services if you come closer. I do have an 08 e70 4.8 n 525 E39 n I love fixing cars n I do my own repairs but limited. Well, let me know if I can of any help to you in case you plan to come to the Tampa, Hillsborough county n we can meet n talk about it. We have a ton of bimmers in need of a good n sharp technician. Let me know. May God guide ur steps to the right place. Be safe n May God bless u.
Can we use original bmw towbar with module and retrofit on the car or we cannot use
Yes, you can retrofit an original tow hitch. It is much easier on the electric part, but it will need some coding. Even in my case, I will code the navi to have the option for the rear view camera on the tow
There is no need to code. I have retrofit electric tow hitch and the car recognised the hitch without problem. Ofcourse it is better to code all neccesary modules. Even Ista displayed AHM module in tree. That was a surprise.
munca lu' berila pt un cui
Tu cum ai fi procedat ?
I am a bit disappointed. I thougt that a guy like You would retrofit OEM towing hitch.
I'm sorry to hear that!
I would think due to the age of the X3, he didn't want to spend a fortune installing the BMW tow hitch.
Hallo Bruder,
Kann ich dich über e-mail erreichen?
Herzliche Grüße
