10 Must Know Hidden Features And Routine Maintenance Items BMW E90 E91 E92 E93 !!!
The BMW E90/E91/E92/E93 series is the fifth generation of the BMW 3 Series range of entry-level luxury cars, and was produced from 2004 to 2013. The body styles of the range are:
4-door sedan/saloon (E90 model code)
estate/wagon (E91 model code, marketed as "Touring")
coupé (E92 model code)
cabriolet (E93 model code)
Due to the separate model codes for each body style, the term "E9X" is sometimes used to describe this generation of the 3 Series.
The range was introduced in 2004 with the sedan and estate body styles. The coupe was introduced in 2006 and the cabriolet was introduced in 2007. In 2012, the E90/E91 sedans and wagons were replaced by the F30/F31 models. However, the E92/E93 coupes and cabriolets remained in production until 2013,[6] when they were replaced by the F32/F33 models.
In 2007, the 335i became the first 3 Series model to be sold with a turbocharged petrol engine. The E9X family also saw the introduction of run-flat tyres to the 3 Series range. Consequently, cars with run-flats are not equipped with a spare tyre.
The E90/E92/E93 M3 is the only M3 to be propelled by a V8 engine. Released in 2007,[7] it uses BMW's S65B40 engine and was produced in sedan, coupe and cabriolet body styles.

Great video! Learned some new stuff and some additional things where I thought I knew it all. Excellent job explaining everything and recording all the steps. Thanks for posting.
Thanks as always Nathan. You're always on top of it 🤘
Great job on the very informative video, thank you for showing us so many hidden features and things we need to know!
Great video Nathan! Many helpful tips, thank you!
Always have the best info thank u
You can roll your window down by inserting the key in the door and holding it right for a few seconds or hold the unlock button on the fob if you have the comfort package I believe it’s called
jw 460 g
Very informative ... thanks for posting
Thanks for all the great vid's!! Hope u can do some on the F25 X3 !
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you for your videos. I really appreciate your work :)
This is an amazing video. Thank you very much.
Good to know!, thanks!!
Your coolant is overfilled. The coolant reservoir even has a picture of how the indicator should look.
Why do you say it’s overfilled?
@@ErinRaciell The red float in the coolant compartment looks a bit high. There is a mark to indicate the correct amount.
Great video!
Love that how to video! This could save me some money on my 335i Msport E93
I just brought home my new e90 2011 335i. This helps alot.
Good video thanks. Just about to buy a E9x.
Thanks. Just found your channel.. I have a 328i 2013
Thanks for the info, don't know all of them.👍
great video! it sounds like you have a built in phaser effect :D
Thank you Nathan. Just bought e90 328xi manual. I need to know this. Just subscribed too.
Thanks Nathan!
Informative ty
Very helpful
Great video, man!
Just stumbled upon your vid. I’d like to add that the key in the glovebox is actually a casing for a plastic key that you keep in your wallet. I got mine delivered after contacting BMW. Also, behind the placeholder for that key casing, there should be a small flash light that is always charged, it does not seem your car had it tho. Finally, when I hold the arrow button on the key fab my windows and sunroof will open and if I forget to close a window or sunroof after exiting the car I just insert the key in the door turn right and hold and the window(s), sunroof will close and the mirrors will fold up!😁
My n54 runs like a champ! I wouldnt trade it for anything! Its got 142k on it but i keep it very well maintained (oil change every 3k miles) all fluids changed on half recommended schedule with a cobb tuner on just a stage 1 and never replaced anything major. Just coil packs, vanos solenoids, a few gaskets but the performance is worth every penny!
Don't worry, someday it will let you down.
You're the best! Are a lot of these features the same with the E60?
Some GREAT 'secrets' and procedures, most of it new to me! Thank you.
If I didn’t use the coolant bleeder valve and just topped off my coolant a little will it cause any problems? Will do it this way next time if for some reason it gets low. I bought a e93 335 and it gave me coolant low warning and just added maybe 4-6oz of fluid. That won’t cause any problems will it? Wish I saw this video sooner thanks Nathan
Great video. The reset sunroof is useful. I also like to turn the steering to full lock left and right a few times. This help fix my headlight issue with the light motor steering.
Could you elaborate on this please? My headlights stopped turning with the steering! Thank you!
Mine too plz advise thanks
Your the man
AWESOME! THANKS!
Is there a video of the E60 initiation procedures?
Had a 2007 328i my transmission was slipping probably because the previous owner never had it change. Also the gaskets on these cars have to be change they go out you have oil mixing with different components of the vehicle, other than that these cars are amazing.
Great vid! Voice reminds me of motel 6 commercial guy voice
Nice 👍
Very good, fast and clear! An example for everyone thinking about doing a video! But don't. Nathan does it better!
Have you done the PCV valve recall? Looks like you have an oil filter housing leak.
Mine doesn't have a lock key on the truck... 2009 BMW 328i Sedan
Does the trany reset really work?
You are the best
Then there is a box inside of a box 📦 box box box :)
I drive 3 series its fun to drive!!!
Nathan's DIY Garage hi Nathan, this is an outstanding video. I’ve owned 2 e90’s and still do, having learned some from this. One question: on my 06 325xi 6mt wagon, the rear left (driver’s side) tire is wearing inordinately and on the inside; yet the rest of the tires are fine. It was aligned at the dealer awhile back and I’ve hit nothing. It has 162000 on it. Could it be a bearing / lower control arm or bushing? It makes an oscillation noise (low and not too loud) when rolling in neutral even at speeds as low as 15mph. Tires were recently replaced. Thanks.
Sounds like a wheel bearing man, if it gets louder as the wheels get faster it’s definitely bearing I’d say, they’re cheap enough to buy so do both on the axle at the same time
What velg you are using in your thumbnail?
Want to make a correction. At 3:03 you say that the plastic rivets need to be removed to check the condition of the air filter. Not true. Don’t mess w the plastic rivets they’ll likely break anyways. Just remove the 2 screws he points to.
What year is this? I like that chime sound, my e90 has an annoying beeping sound.... 🙄
That stock cold air filter has alot of restriction especially the n51 engine platform..
and manual can be to ?
Does the sunroof reset work for e46 also?
just hold the button for 30 seconds
Watching this video, I see how much brighter your cluster displays are than mine... I knew mine was too dim.
I once saw it get very bright so I know it's not a bulb problem, but most of the time it's too dim to read easily. Any advice?
@Tj Semeniuk it's all the way up, it's too dim during the day and at night.
As of late, it randomly fixes itself every few startups, and then slips back to being unreadable.
Cluster Ambient light sensor responds if I shine a flashlight at it at night.
My E90 is 320d M47 engine blue colour.
He's right use ATF maxx valvoline fluid works on older bmw e36 transmission too and other models ,if you don't refill your fluid your trans will go out he 💯 percent correct Amcoo try to rip me off at their shop months ago If you ❤️ love your Bmw listen to Nathan
CoolinKofi you can use Valvoline if you can find it but never use anything higher then dexron iii in e36 transmissions
Bmw M3 e46 is your E46 manual I wanted a basic model before my e36 but I heard horror stories of SubFrame Crack along a boat load of issues is that true with your e46?
CoolinKofi a basic model M3, or a basic model E46? Only the M3 models had the subframe issue
is there any hidden features on e36???
Cabin air filter is held by 6 not 4 screws. 2 of yours are broken off ;-P
You're right, they are broken off on this guy's car
i have a 07 328i with 120k miles, I dont think previous owner ever did a transmission oil change, car is in perfect condition. Im getting mixed opinions on wheter i should change at transmission oil fo the first time at this mileage. should i change it?
How does it shift?
12:15 you forgot to mention. Turn the heat all the way to highest setting and put fan in the lowest speed mode, just above OFF
I'm about to purchase a used E90 how can make sure the car is mechanically fit and has been serviced regularly?
Even that wont help, just make sure you buy it a price you can afford to deal with issues like water pump etc
what's the point in reseting the sunroof though?
When it gets stuck and can't fully close. The reset fixed mine.
What coolant do you recommend?
use bmw brand coolant
Were is the blower fuce
FYI the “key” that goes in the glovebox is actually a flashlight .. good video though thx !
Organized Chaos there’s a separate plastic emergency key in the cars that had some package on it, there is also a flashlight in every glovebox of e9x’s
@@jtking4842 correct
My e90 n51 doesn't have a key lock for the trunk so it's useless to me
Is it bad to change the transmission fluid if the car is at high mileage?
J T yes
Thank's just fix my sunroof
My engine is hella loud now after my hazard light of “Check engine soon” light came on. I thought it was bc my oil was low so I got an oil change but it’s still loud and it stutters when I drive. Gonna take it to the dealership but it’s not sounding like it’s gonna be cheap. :/
Randy Jones and? What was it?
Sup፝֟reme Mees oh my engine mount needs to be replaced and I have faulty ignition coils. Basically my original manufacture parts are now going bad lol.
Nathan why no dipstick and are these e90s money pits seem alot harder then e36 to work on
they fixed alot of issues but some things are more difficult, overall its a more reliable car

What if you started the car during that procedure
Man Dont delete this video ever i m gonna needed after 4 years thats when i am buying a 2011 bmw 328xi PLZ TRY UR BEST TO NOT DELETE THESE VIDEOS.
zorvix yt get a 335i ... 328 waste of money slow
IamRB26 no
Then save it idiot
Yo zorvix yt I just bought the same one today💪🏽
IamRB26 328i a lot more reliable than a 335i, definitely not a waste of money
At 1:38 you b literally could hide weed there when pulled over.
Kings Marvel lmfaoooo
Coolant is way overfilled. The transmission adaptation reset can only be done by using INPA software on a computer via K+DCAN cable, the gas pedal method does nothing. This can still be done yourself if you have INPA and the cable. Otherwise decent video
ISTA+ is what you use to reset the transmission adaptions, see my recent videos and go to my website to purchase the software, you must have at the minimum ISTA + to own and operate a e90 or e60 and up models
hi, you have made really good video, Please assist me for my query, I am looking for BMW 320D sedan 75000 km used car in Inida (2008) model seller offering me 11 lakh INR (USD 17000) is it good to buy this 10 year old BMW ? what thing should i check before buy? and last and most is it worth to buy this machine, please share your view on this it would be helpful for me.many thanks in advance.
Pavan Pavan this will have the N47 engine, be sure to check if the timing chain has been replaced or if not make sure you start the engine from cold before you buy, if you hear a rattle the chain is wearing out, or if you hear a “scraping” noise in the engine when running it could be chain also, it’s a big job to do for mechanic as the engine has to come out, so will cost a lot in labour costs to your mechanic
Inspector gadget woo hoo
Can I get some info about the Tire pressure indicator and Flat tire warning? The manual says if even one tire is low it'll trip, do you reset this after? Or
Harold Stroud yes when you put air back in tyres to correct pressure reset the warning on the dash
I'm 1 year late on this, but on a 09 328i E92 coupe the warning indicator will reset itself after the tire is properly inflated
Air filter. Yeah, don't get me started on my m57. BMW trolled me there.
0:33 keyception
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Do some research. You got your coolant level way over maximum :)
Glad I’m not the only one that cringed lol
Great video. I have a question When it comes to the coolant! I have a 328 I xdrive 2011 I know the coolant has to be mixed 50/50 with distilled water. But when topping it off do I have to perform a bleeding procedure all the time or just top it off to it's level and that's it ? Thank you in a advance.
these seem a lot more self serviceable than everyone makes them out to be. I wonder if they're more reliable than everyone makes them out to not be
I bought an e90 a few weeks ago. It was in rough shape but so far every weekend I've gone through doing all the maintenance that should have been done to it 10s of thousands of miles ago and it's close to running like new.
Most stuff you can easily do yourself, but you need tons of specific tools and socket bits (which is why most mechanics won't touch a BMW)
But they really do seem solid it's just that you absolutely must maintain anything and everything you can touch which is alot given the large engine bay and the inherent simplicity of a inline engine over a V configuration
Yea I think everyone knew the key was there
FYI,
1) 2007 E90 like the one in the video does not come with the 3rd key in the glove box.
2) The "2nd precharge filter" is loaded with activated charcoal to prevent gasoline vapor from escaping back out to the atmosphere. It does not need to be replaced.
Now you can actually buy the kit that has both filters, after some of videos I have seen with that filter completely clogged I would say this is not a true statement, things change very quickly with these cars just like buying a computer what was true when you took a course back in 2007 probably doesn't hold much truth today with a rapidly changing parts market and technology it takes constant research on a day by day basis, I will not touch a car unless I do extensive research , that keeps bad things from happening, and trust me bad things happen alot in shops and dealerships , I get to see it in the 400 to 700 questions on average every day on this channel, this isn't a 20 to 40 customer base like a shop is
did this guy just see the microfilter service light and say coolant

Correction to your comment about transmission reset.
It is impossible to reset your transmission adaptations without the proper BMW software. You must use either a Schwaben BMW compatible OBD unit or the INPA suite. You cannot reset transmission via pedal manipulation no matter who tells you so.
I reset mines by the pedal and noticed immediately the difference in driving. The jerking stopped
@@siderussmith85 - if you drive with a zf6hp21, then you are in error. That is impossible to reset transmission adaptations via pedal. AND if you DO reset adaptations to zero out, you would NOT get smooth shifts, you would get insane jerky shifts because the transmission pressure lines are reset to zero and you have to do a drive programming routine for 58 miles of uninterrupted road following a specific zf pattern or acceleration, coasting, braking and interval speed driving...so that your zero values can be programmed to the current pressures in your specific car.
Therefore, I say to you again, you did not reset transmission adaptation values. Remember, reseting adaptations on the transmission resets all line pressures values to ZERO which yields super jerky shifting. AND you MUST do a programming drive procedure to get your EGS to input proper values back into your specific car at that specific wear and tear state...otherwise, if you drive with zero reference pressure line values, you will damage your transmission due to hard shifts. Your transmission literally will have zero reference for line pressures after resetting adaptations.
So if you say that your car drives smoothly after your pedal thingy...then you definitely did NOT reset adaptations.
All i know is I did the pedal thing and I noticed the difference. I have the 330xi all wheel drive and the diff was slipping until i did the pedal routine.
@@siderussmith85 - As I said before, I don't know what you did, but that pedal thingy has nothing to do with transmission related parts whatsoever. Pedal manipulation can set water pump priming sequence...but not transmission. BMW does not make the transmission and ZF does not allow them to interfere with their transmission technology. You can only reset via software or hardware devices specifically made to interface with the EGS unit (Electronic Getriebesteuerung - electronic gearbox). Thus they do not mix.
Also the differential is not the same as the transmission. ZF does not make the differential.
Well what is bmw adaptive transmission?
Are you a trained mechanic or just learnt all this info from experience and research?
learned from decades of research and owning these cars
10 features every bmw owner knows since he fucking knows how to read the damn manual
Hidden feature? I think if it’s the manual it’s not a hidden feature. Lol
Every goddamn keyfob ever created has a physical key in it
Did you see your humaddis video. He basically saw your video and stole your content in its entirety. Dudes a straight sucker
It's not hidden features, if you read the manual like you're suppose to
SSJGohanMlm most of this stuff isn’t in the manual
Rubbish click bait as usual all these are listed in the manual
dan man no they’re not 😅
Who else clicked off when they saw the N55
2kDubSquad what does that even mean?
E90 is a pile of crap. I own two. Prefer my e36. Slower but fun
Junkerbunker I’ve E36, E46 and E92 and yes the older generations are more reliable, only cause they’re not as complex as the newer generation. I imagine the F30 has even more technology on board that can go wrong. E36 a great car in relatability and to work on
Great video!
