Nathan, the feature that puts your vehicle in park if it moves with the door open. Can actually be overridden in the case of a car Jack. If you toggle the brake and gas simultaneously, (brake first) it will move forward, how fast? Im not sure. Maybe you could perform that experiment. Keep the videos coming 👍.
Hi brother quick question I have a 05 530 I can I change my transmission a put a 06 335 I manual transmission and wat I’m going to need to make a work can you please help me thank you may the LORD RICHLY BLESS YOU TALK SOON Alexis
Love this all in one spot on your BMW channel! I'd love to see more on this (both convenience and service items). Two I can recall of the top off my head is: No Key Start - the trick to start the car normally, turn it off, pull the key, hold the brake, hit start again (car starts). Now get out and lock the door with the key on your pocket. It's a great way to warm up the cabin on sub 0 mornings (or keep it warm when you go into a store for ~10 min since they deleted the REST button!) without getting your car stolen here in the great white north. and Pathway Lighting - hit the left or right blinker or brights when the car is off to turn on the different headlights at night Plus Hold the FOB Unlock to drop all the windows and open the sunroof on a hot day (in the US you have to use the old school key in the door to close them all) AND that the car can be coded to hold the lock button on the FOB to close it up Lastly (a little off topic) Aspherical Side Mirrors - better replacements for when your side mirrors permanently fog, flake away - allows you to see your blind spot without turning your head, but looks like and works as a normal mirror without adding a cheap looking, disorienting 'bubble' stick on mirror.
Which of these are hidden? Half of the video is just going through the settings menu. I guess the mirror thing is something that is something many don't know about.
Nat I have a 2009 535i x high miles 192 000 Red light oil pressure came on what would you recommend is flickering between red and orange is it possible that the timing jumped oil pump chain or clogged oil pick up
hey nathan, when you use your turn signal. Can you help to see if the sound is coming from the kickpanel speakers? Or if its coming from the instrument cluster. Thank you!
Hi, Just wondering I’d the steering wheel with paddle shifters from a BMW E90 will fit on my 2008 BMW 528ix? I am new to BMWs as I am a recent Audi convert. Am I correct that my car is a E 60 chassis? I enjoy your videos and find them very helpful thank you keep up the great work.
Carlos, I believe there is a calibration procedure you need to run. Although I've never changed the headlight assembly on my E60, I do have a headlight maintenance process in my Autel 906BT scan tool. Mine has adaptive headlights so I'm certain if they're ever changed they need to be recalibrated & that's probably what this procedure is.
Hey bro how you been ? I just bought this car in Serbia 530xd .. the ride height I like a monster truck can I lowered this car without triggering any warning lights since it’s a 4x4? I want to just change the springs to ebiach or HnR springs. Thx man and happy new year
2015 X3 25d. Is it possible to recode such that when on cruise while descending a hill the transmission will not downshift and the brakes come on to hold the set speed?
I have a 02 745il here that the coolant res leaked on the abs module connection causing the module to get burned, harness and plug melted . Ever see this?
Hi Nathan, You have a great knowledge of the E60's, and I have an electronic issue with my 550i 2005 on the ACTIVE STEERING that I think you can help me with. How could I PM you please? Thanks
Nathaniel I have a question for you. How good are the E39 bmw's? Seriously I am considering buying one is why I'm asking ok thanks alot really appreciate you answering me back on this subject
there's quite a lot of difference between reliability of different engines from different years, so for best advice you'll have to tell us what do you want to buy and what's your budget. it also depends on where you live, in my place most of e39s have rusted out by now.
Hard to go wrong with an BMW e39 but I strongly advise you to buy an inline-6 model ONLY. The V8 models (540i & M5) are sublime but have unreasonably high maintenance costs in comparison to the inline-6 models (525i, 528i, 530i). The manual transmission versions are sublime, if so inclined.
I just read your comment and it helped me out on my Ram work truck. If I put it into gear with the door open it will not move and it alerts me. I just tried it with the seat belt on in the truck moved. I work on infrastructure and sometimes you want your door open as you're moving slowly looking at something on the pavement.Thanks man.
@@stevemcraemanager7119 don't work in a trade anymore but can imagine how frustrating that would be. I'd go cut an extra buckle from the junk yard. Although there new cats might be able to feel the tension on the belt too
Matt Hudson that’s good to know just haven’t seen you comment on mine in a whole and Nathan is my boy whether people choose to believe that or not me and him are closer then CZcams entertainers think
Wow, Someone found the manual and read it. No hidden features here.
Exactly
Man i got one of these and I didn’t come with a manual 😅
@@OxyM54u can get it online and download it
The worst part is when you start to drive off with the door open and you hear the parking pin being flicked like it’s on the damn Wheel of Fortune
You can drive with your door open if you have your seatbelt on. Drivers ofc.
From gravel to concrete in the garage, well done Nathan. I'm so glad my e82 has a manual and no Idrive, stripper with m sport package.
Garage lookin' great. My big hope--that this E60gives someone long, safe service-free travel enjoyment

The hdc in the idrive is Hill Decent Control. So this car does have hdc
Hey your oil level is pretty low there . Otherwise looks good 👍😊

Can you tell me more about coding my '05 545i 4.4 v8?
Love this all in one spot on your BMW channel! I'd love to see more on this (both convenience and service items). Two I can recall of the top off my head is:
No Key Start - the trick to start the car normally, turn it off, pull the key, hold the brake, hit start again (car starts). Now get out and lock the door with the key on your pocket. It's a great way to warm up the cabin on sub 0 mornings (or keep it warm when you go into a store for ~10 min since they deleted the REST button!) without getting your car stolen here in the great white north.
and
Pathway Lighting - hit the left or right blinker or brights when the car is off to turn on the different headlights at night
Plus
Hold the FOB Unlock to drop all the windows and open the sunroof on a hot day (in the US you have to use the old school key in the door to close them all) AND that the car can be coded to hold the lock button on the FOB to close it up
Lastly (a little off topic)
Aspherical Side Mirrors - better replacements for when your side mirrors permanently fog, flake away - allows you to see your blind spot without turning your head, but looks like and works as a normal mirror without adding a cheap looking, disorienting 'bubble' stick on mirror.

My lci e60 has the hill decent button on the steering wheel it's a 2010

I'm a car mechanic and I didn't find the perfect car yet! Just let me know when you find the perfect car.....🤷♂️
E39 m57 3.0d
I like the park feature came in handy for me
why do all e60s have condensation in the front right headlight
Can someone tell me why there's no oil dipstick? 😕 if the low oil light comes on how much oil am I supposed to add?
Great video idea, can we get a e46 hidden feature video?
I just changed out my headlights on my e60 they are not fully working was told I might need to recode can u break that down for me

Title of video said "hidden" but I didn't see any hidden menu stuff????
Hill decent control can be turned off in the idrive on my 08 535xi
Shifter is cool
Hey does anyone know why in my bmw is only german french and italian language but not english?
한글자막이 구글번역기군요!ㅋㅋㅋ대충 이해하면서 봤습니다.
what year and model is your bmw
What year and model is this bmw?
So what’s hidden? Come on !!! This is nothing new to any e60 owner who is in their right mind. If you want hidden stuff ask me
Tom Razmologov message me. 5198970145
Agree. 98%of this stuff is in the manual. Hidden features?? Hardly.
Sport moode on any model,even on 520i 😉

My 2009 Navi works great
Thanks! 👍

Just so you know if you have your seatbelt on the car will not throw itself into park with the door open.
I just read your comment and it helped me out on my Ram work truck. If I put it into gear with the door open it will not move and it alerts me.

New cars*
I have 3 languages that does not include English language. And I wanna code me ccc to have English language
3 minutes to fumble around then explain the check button...
Not a big fan of that funky shifter thing that assists the carmakers, but whatever. A gun should take care of that pesky business tho.
yo mate I aint seen you comment on my videos in a long while , are you one of my haters now ???? because I tell it straight up
