2:40 that mesh pocket is for storing the cup holder cover. Later year models do not come with a cup holder cover because instead there is a sliding panel over the cup holder. 7:52 that little thing below the rear mirror is actually the alarm indicator light. It flashes when the alarm is armed but you need to have the alarm option.
Oh yeah that little bubble on the rear view mirror is the housing for the security light and when you twist it to the left, goes to dark mode so you can avoided being blinded by headlights behind you at night.
Hi Nour, that little lever on the rearview mirrow tilt it up so deflects most of the high beam from incoming vehicles at the night.. so you still can see the rear of the road without the high beam low your visibility.. Cheers from Brazil mate! Nice content!
That knob on the mirror is to move your mirror up/down when someone behind you has their brights on...you can move it by turning the knob.. It is also used as an indicator to show that the car is locked
@M U, the dimming feature is inserted in the top centre of the mirror itself, you're right for manually dimming though, if there's a blinking led inside, it means the car alarm is active
The plastic dome under the rearview mirror flashes when the car is locked. Also, if you want to turn motion detection for the alarm system, after you exit the vehicle and press the lock button, press it one more time. That dome will light up one more to tell you it's off. I do it sometimes when I leave my dog in the vehicle. However, don't leave your dog in the car for too long, and NEVER leave your dog in the car when in direct sunlight, or in warm temperatures!
The thing underneath the rearview mirror is for your windshield wipers in rain sensing mode to automatically control the wipers. Pretty cool -FBO 435i GC
Omg, your are incredible smart and your car have to be from the future, can you please do a tutorial how the steering wheel works, turning left is easy, perhaps did we miss to order som special function, do you know if it’s possible to retro fit the ability to turn right?
Omg thank you. I Definitely didn’t know about the power source under glovebox. Thank you. And mine is 2015 and i definitely don’t have the mesh thing inside my glovebox.
The thing on the bottom of the rear view mirror is for the alarm(if your car has it). It should flash every 5 seconds once you locked the car. Love from UK!
Those preset buttons aren't just music presets they can be set to a wide range of things like audio mode, phone calls, nav destinations, etc. They used to only be radio presets so they have been incorrectly branded that way forever.
I unlocked my DVD system, put in a 4tb external HDD in the cubby between driver and passenger, now my daughter can watch all her favorite shows/movies/music. MP3/WAV/OGG/MP4/MKV/MOV/AVI/MPG/DivX etc. It will play just about ANY media format. Great for long road trips. And no, I do not feel any need to look at it while driving. It is illegal in most states, so if you get pulled over: disconnect the USB drive (cop may think you are reaching for something tho), or press a button to change the screen to a menu item so you don't get a ticket. With the split screen I can have my navigation in one window (right) and she can watch something on the left. I highly suggest buying the "BimmerCode" app for your phone and a WiFi adapter for your OBD2 port. You can program so much in your BMW. There are SO MANY cool features BMW doesn't program into your car than can be changed and changed back within minutes.
they could still access your when doing the valet parking trunk lock option thru the glove compartment as you demonstrated... just drop middle back seat & BOOM full access to your trunk. lolol i figure that shit out on my own F30
I was thinking he was a bit of a spanner, but when the camera panned to footwell and I seen the socks 😂 The best way to tell car people that your not a car person…just befriend this guy 😂
Honestly bro, your videos have helped me out a lot & truly appreciate you for taking time out and making the videos to give us knowledge about our cars that we didn’t know about. Keep the grind up and can’t wait to see your channel blow up to the top 🙏🏻🙏🏻
That little nob thing by rear view mirror is for at night when the person behind you has there brights on you can dim it so it doesn’t bother or distract your driving, I love your vids man and you motivated me to get a bmw myself, I’m only 16 and drive a 2006 bmw 325xi and have some things done, nothing big but thanks for all the motivation and keep up the hard work nord
That cubbie is the right size for a G26!! 🤐 You can code DVD in motion. Most of that stuff is in the owners manual. The manual is in the iDrive or online if one doesn't have the OM.
You can deactivate the internal montion sensor by pressing the lock button on the remote a second time within 10 seconds - internal red LED will go out on the mirror although the alarm will still be on. It also deactivates the tilt sensor. So if you're leaving your dog in the car (safely) you can do so without it setting off the alarm but still protect it from break-in.
The thing on your rear view mirror is to stop you getting blinded from drivers behind you. You twist it and your mirror moves down and dims the lights behind you
The light next to the programmable garage door opener when the light is blinking red it means the car is armed so when somebody breaks in it will start the alarm
u use the phone room for my sunglasses, nice and handy to have them close. YO NO WAY I FINK OUT LIKE THIS i tought bmw didnt tilt down mirrors when reversing, mby thats why my car doesent do it???
That thing a ling is to turn the knob so when you drive at night the lights aren’t in your eyes and you’ll still be able to look through the rear view mirror
Contrary to the previous statement, the feature on the bottom of the mirror is not the high beam assistant. That's something that is referred to as the clown nose and it goes all the way back to the E46. It's just a light that blinks when your alarm is on. High beam assistant is on the back of the mirror.
The thing under your rear view mirror is the car alarm system light. If the is ON that means the alarm is ON! But on my f30 I don't have the alarm so that one I have is for the rear view light blank spot hiding thing!
Light bulb under the mirror for your alarm to check if you lock you car. Ligh bulb is flashing every 10 sec approximately. On UK specification the light is red colour.
Actually there is an way to make the windows go up. If you go on the door handle, put your finger there just like you do to lock the car, but wait around 10 seconds.. will roll up all your windows and also close the sunroof. At least mine has that. Nice video though!! 👏🏻👏🏻
So before i watched i knew most of the things you mention i would probably already know.... but still knew there's a possibility i kould learn something new & i did. I did not know about that other charge port under the glovebox or what that button inside the Glove box was for. Now i kan use that other port for my dash kam charger & keep the one under the radio free for my phone. Thanks Kid
The 1-8 buttons that you were using can save almost anything. whether it be phone numbers, addresses, radio stations ETC ETC. you dont have to save the radio stations to that button that is why the presets feature ( that you can find in radio is there. It can be used to save of to 40 of your favorite stations from FM to AM to Satellite Radio ( if you have satellite). then once you've saved the stations you can just save the whole preset list to any of those buttons and whenever you want to open your presets you can just press the selected button you have for it and it reveal all of your favorite stations that you saved.
Killer Inst1ncz it’s not through the settings you just highlight whatever you want to save and hold whichever button you want to save ( for example 1) until you hear a ping at the end showing you that whatever you saved was programmed
Nice that BMW kept the same features like on the E46 like the window down and up also the side mirror going down when in reverse. I had these features on my first E46 back in the day and my friends were a little impressed. lol
The reason holding down the lock button does not roll the windows up is due to safety. Consider the case where you cannot directly see the car but hold the button down. The windows could roll up and choke a child or a pet. It's not that BMW did it "half assed"
Not hidden when everything is explained in the manuals. But good video to avoid the read. Forgot to explain the auto dimming rear view mirror function and where the sensor is
Can you put the BMW badge on it’s giving me ocd looking at it
The badge is a hidden feature🤪
I want bande can you put a bmw badge my application play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobincube.wallpapers_cars_bmw_2019.sc_53TKEE
That net in the glovebox is to hold the cup holder lid that usually sits in front of the gear shifter 👍🏻
Great video for someone just buying a BMW like me

The mirror is auto darkening, it doesn't flip like on most other cars
It's a photocell, where as like the first comment, It'll automatically darken to give you better view when high beams are on your behind.
You can roll up the windows from the outside by holding the lock sensor on the door handle outside
If you hold the lock "lines" down on the exterior door handle it will close all windows and sun roof. Pretty dope. Hope this helped
Some of these things aren’t on the UK model, but we do have windows up on the key as standard.
How the hell are these things hidden functions?!?! Have you heard about a thing called a manual????
None if these are hidden. This video is dumb as fuck.
Also, that mesh part in the glovebox is to hold the ashtray insert. What an idiot.
Also, any E90 with a CIC navigation unit will play a DVD. So much misinformation.
Fred why don’t you shut the fuck up thanks :)
I understand him ... (Whispers: he needs alot of views) lol

Dip those brows in carbon. 🤣🤣🤣 can't stop staring at them.😜
Kept waiting for "hidden" stuff I didn't know about....
There was a hidden door on each side of the car to access rear seat that he didn't mention....was just behind the front doors :D
Bet you didn't knew the phone numbers...
yeah if you read the user manual all is there...

Its actually a sensor that dims the mirror when it detects alot of light like someone behind you is using full beams

To roll windows up outside..hold fingers on top of handle
Comfort access features are not hidden 😂😂😂

The video starts around 1:45 and not sure when the hidden features portion starts.
Yeah this kid is a straight pleb.. probably pays for his likes
The “thing-a-ling” on the rear view mirror is part of the security system.
It also detect sunlight so it can dim the rearview mirror while your driving at night to minimize glare.
@@NihilistSolitude i don’t know but on my car if you twist it , it tilts the rear view mirror to deflect light 👍
Also if you don’t have your key on you and want to see if the car is locked it will flash red to show its armed

I don’t think so, the rain sensors on cars are actually mounted on the windshield
@@dewalt607 thanks for your thoughts but that’s where bmw decided to mount theirs.. Anyways love the Cts-v

Hold the touch sensitive lock button on your door handle to roll up the windows
Thanks dude! I never known it plays DVD 👌

A.J. Chertos: Nope... it's a visual indication that the alarm is activated. Nothing more.
the transparent knob underneath the mirror is actually the activation light when you close the car with your remote and the alarm is on
Bro, what color do you use for the eyebrows?
7:53 rotate and the mirror will change for night mode. Every car have but many people don't know what is
The windows roll up by holding the lock button on the handle
If you have comfort access you can roll up the windows by holding the lock on the door and it will all close
That cubbie is the right size for a G26!! 🤐 You can code DVD in motion. Most of that stuff is in the owners manual. The manual is in the iDrive or online if one doesn't have the OM.
That little cubbie that you describe is a perfect fit for putting the plastic drinks holder cover in
7:50 you can grab and turn that thing to make the mirror tilt if someone is behind you that blinding you
You can dim the reflection on the mirror with the bubble when someone behind you had their high beams on at night
Amazing video on hidden features..
7:56, try to rotate it will put your mirror on slight angle so it becomes darker if you have strong sunlight or headlights flashing your mirror
I just got a 2011 328i xDrive and love the n52 gang
There is another safety feauture, if the door is opened and u made the gear to D it will turn to P automatically
If you hold the lock button on the door handle it should roll the windows up if your outside of the car
Thanks for the new content! Cool hidden features!
The light under rearview mirror is interior motion sensor. At least it is on my 2018 430i vert.
I now understand how my dog sets off the car alarm if I have to make a quick stop.
Yeah, i also have it, motion sensor/alarm
You can deactivate the internal montion sensor by pressing the lock button on the remote a second time within 10 seconds - internal red LED will go out on the mirror although the alarm will still be on.

Kick to open trunk is an optional convenience package upgrade, not a hidden feature. Not all BMW have that feature. You have to pay for it.
correct
I kicked the shit out of my trunk untill i saw this comment..

If you have comfort access you roll the windows back up by touching and leaving your finger on the door handle on the driver or passenger side
