THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I've been an Audi girl for years, but Today I purchased my first BMW X6 and I'm sooo excited!! You have taught me wayyy more than the salesman.
Just got a brand new 2025 bmw x1, the dealer threw in the all season Matt's that are actually really nice for free. But I've had it for 1 week and I can 100% already assure you ill never buy another brand of car. They are just unbelievable
Glad you think so too! I agree their whole line up of cars are just on another level. I don't see myself leaving the brand ever unless it's for a Lamborghini, but even then I'd have a BMW as a daily lol
You’re so right about #1. I’ve had a 04, 07, 13 5 Series. My last 13 series was a money pit and was in 2 car accidents this year alone. I was looking to move away from BMW all together because of that experience. But nothing I test drive compared to them. Sooo I picked myself up an x5 yesterday and I am absolutely “in love”! 😍😍
Haha, I love your comment! That's great to see that you stayed in the family. Yes there may be a vehicle that ends up being a rough one but that could be for any vehicle from what i've been through. It's super hard to get away from that BMW drive, we have off brand trade in vehicles and the only one that I thought came close to it was a Porsche 911.
My first car is the BMW 325i when I turned 16, now i am in my 40s, I been driven 5 BMW, from gasoline and now into electric. Once you have a BMW, hard to drive any other vehicle for sure!
I have owned a 14 x5 35xi for over 3 1/2 years now. Bought it with 43,000 miles and currently has 80,000 miles. Haven’t had a single problem . All I’ve done is preventative maintenance. Cabin, engine air filters. Front, rear diff, transfer case, trans fluid change at 50,000 miles. Spark plugs,coils, coolant change at 60,000 miles. Also had the brake fluid done. I change my oil every 5,000 miles religiously. Ditched the run flats at 70,000. Oil filter housing gasket went bad around 60,000 miles but that was the only repair I’ve done so far. I plan on driving my x5 till it becomes a lawn ornament lol 😂. The key with BMW’s is preventative maintenance !! Don’t do the bare minimum and use cheap parts to save a few $ . If you take care of them and choose your models wisely with good maintenance they can be very reliable. But as far as my 23 x1 goes I love it. It’s a company car I’ll be driving for 30,000-40,000 miles. I also watched ur last video and am so glad you mentioned the deal with short cuts. I was so excited about the short cuts feature 😂 but I truly love my f15. It’s my baby and I probably take better care of it then my self 😂.
I ordered a 128ti in September. Should be taking deliver middle of December. I've been watching your videos and find them most informative. Keep it up. Respect from Jamaica 🇯🇲
I just bought a 2023 BMW X3. You are scary me about the cost of repairing it. I did buy the extended warranty. Thank you for all the videos learning about my car. Very informative. 👍
@@javiersiado I don’t know about the US models, but in Europe the cars suggests an oil change about every 30tkm or so (depending on conditions). That in mind I’ve thought splitting that to 15tkm is preventive enough. And like said I’ve never had any problems. My last 5-series got up to 160tkm (100t miles) before I sold it and had no issues what so ever. Now enjoying the ride of 2023 X3. However, do as you seem best. There’s really no right or wrong here.
I have my 2020 540i for just over a month now. Yes, I have fallen in love with it- the ride quality, the acceleration, the very quiet cabin. I only drive about 12k miles a year, but I do like to trade every 2 or 3 years. Unless I really like a car, like my 2000 Corvette. I kept that one for 10 years; it was starting to complain a little bit- fluid leaks, engine timing cover and rear axle. Time will tell about this BMW; right now, I can truthfully say that it is the nicest and most fun car that I have owned in my life, about 57 years of driving.
Put in an order for my m440 3 months ago and it just entered production last week. I’ve been watching your videos since I placed my order in anticipation to take delivery
@@BeamerView No. Thank YOU. Your insight on all things BMW is 1000% appreciated. Even more so since I’ve always been a fan of them but this will be my first ever BMW. I just followed your IG and I look forward to all of your future content
I just bought my first BMW, a new 2022 X3 SDrive30i. The X3 is my first purchase from a non US automaker and it's also my first 4 door. I'm looking forward to discovering what it's all about.

I just purchased my first Bmw same model as you two weeks ago. So far so good. It has a very comfortable and enjoyable ride. I initially ordered the 2023 Genesis GV70, however when it came in the lease note was going to be 962 a month and i refused to pay that much with tier 1 credit. BMW was able to get me the note that I am comfortable paying. I love my new baby! Genesis who…
@@moniqueashley-murray6336 I just did a 250 mile day trip in my X3 and it is comfortable. One glaring omission from my car is adaptive cruise control. Why does a $50k car not have this as standard equipment? My 2019 Ford Ranger truck had it after all. After having Adaptive Cruise Control for 3+ years I found it extremely annoying to have to turn my cruise on and off repeatedly on the highway. Another annoying thing is the lane keeping assist. I found myself fighting with it over and over. It wants to follow seams in a concrete highway and tried to pull me out of my lane a couple times. I have to say that after 300 miles of ownership I'm not very impressed. I should have just kept my truck and saved $20,000.
@@SPSteve oh wow I’m sorry to hear that. I haven’t had a chance to use the cruise control. I find that most times I forget to even use the cruise control feature. I do absolutely agree with you, the lane assist is very annoying. I called myself turning it off but it seems that it still vibrates when I’m on the line, not even crossing the lane. I still learning the likes and dislikes but so far I’m enjoying my purchase.
You’ve helped me a ton regarding “hidden features” from rolling down the windows by using my key fob to syncing my driver/passenger temperature in a pre-set. Thanks ☺️
For me the BMW is the best drive. My wife has a Mercedes E400, and I still prefer my 428i over it. Responsiveness, connection to the road, can't be matched. The merc does have nicer interior and luxury features. But I want to drive, not sleep.
Well done! Great advice for the first time (or second+ time ) Beamer buyer. Thanks! I'm interested in your advice about purchasing a BMW iX M50! I'm hooked on this EV instead of buying a comparable Tesla Y or X. The price is STEEP for the BMW and Tesla, but you get so much more for the money when you buy the BMW, in my opinion! What do you think?? Thanks!
Hey Dan! Thanks for taking the time to comment and glad the videos are helping you! I'm assuming you meant either the iX edrive 50 or the iX M60? Either way, I would highly recommend them both over Tesla's. I will mention that there are a couple little things here and there that Tesla has over the Beamers such as door sensors, some tech, etc. But, at the end of the day cars are meant to be driven and that's what BMW does the best. Not only that, the BMW drive with Electric vehicles is better than ever before. Now with instant torque combined with BMW's handling and driving dynamics they are more ahead of the competition more than ever. The tech in BMW's is all up to date as well with things like Digital Keys, Advanced Voice commands / personal Assistant, so that is also a +. Hope this helps, I wouldn't think twice with going with the iX! You'll love it!
I do love my BMW❤, but I absolutely hate the huge repair bill. I did buy mine certified, but if I purchase another one (cough cough)…it will be a lease..
I agree with #1 i switched out and tried something else and I was miserable! I am on my 3rd about to pick up my certified 2022 BMW X3 M sport in another week 😬
Does the 2023 BMW X1 have the auto start/stop function? If it has it, how do you turn it off? I did not see a button on the center console to turn it off like my X5 has.
I’m quite sure all the newer BMWs are all going to have the mild hybrid system which basically prevents you from controlling the auto start feature. It’s a bummer, but I will say that it’s the smoothest out of any auto start stop that I’ve ever been in. It’s a smarter system as well too. You won’t be disappointed by it.
What's the deal with the lack of Android Auto in BMW cars? I see BMW ads showing Android Auto (in all cars?) but not in the cars I see. The only fix is an aftermarket $800+ MMI box that must be [professionally] installed. There is also the risk of voiding your warranty by plugging in an optional accessory.
I’m writing from Uzbekistan, and I need your recommendation whether I should buy x5 now or wait until a new x5 will come out ? What do you think mate ?
I would wait for the new one. It’s going to have idrive 8 and a nice redesign. The interior will be all updated. Technology will also be ahead of its time.
I've had three BMWs starting in mid-90s to mid-2000s. I stopped buying them because I can't keep them any longer than about 5 or 6 years. The ones from the 80s, 90s, early 2000s you could keep running for a decade without too much trouble. Starting around 2005 or so, I don't know what happened. No matter how well you follow the maintenance schedule, parts fail at around 6 years and they are monstrously expensive to replace. BMW = lease and dump only. I drive Alfa Romeo now; 5 years on Giulia Ti and nothing has broken yet. 🙂
Agreed. I also think they are Bess just leasing purposes. Only one after 6+ years can be a nightmare, especially if you do not know how to work on your own car.
Not only that, but the fun to drive factor is not quite there any more, in comparison to my 2003 525i that has unfortunately become unreliable, but with unmatched ride quality, not to mention luxury. Leased a 3 series recently, it was ok, but nowhere near, materials ok, quality ok, visibility bad, utility bad, steering meh, comfort meh, erratic shifting. Leased an Alfa Jiulia. Materials a bit below, visibility bad, utility bad, steering responsive but not accurate, comfort good, shifting good. Very tossable. Good power to weight ratio. But assembly is not perfect. Broke down when it was time to end lease. Want another one? Well… want a reliable replacement for my 525i. I challenge BMW beat its previous achievement
I've heard only bad news about Alfas, hence poor resale values. My 428 is now 8 years old. Just had first repair for a broken hose, which was only costly because they had to remove the booster to get to it. But my car is running great, can get any speed up to Max the speedometer easily.
I have MDX ASPEC 2022 and rented a BMW X5 2018 thru TURO during my vacation in LA. I felt that the MDX is a lot better in term of driving dynamic. I am wondering if the new versions of X5 is a lot better? Is it a fair comparison?
New X5 is muchhhh better compared to the 18 version. They did a major redesign for it in 2019. The 2022 Acura just got its new redesign a few months ago. So that’s kinda like comparing two vehicles 2 generations apart tbh. I’ve driven the 22 Acura. Safe to say the X5 driving is far better. Just my opinion.
My M340i is finally entering production! Is there anything that you heard regarding anything going wrong or issues with them? I’m leasing it, do you think it’s worth keeping after?
The vehicle itself, in terms of hardware, is perfect and probably one of the best BMW does. I will say that the software or OS8 isn't perfected yet. It's getting better with some updates here and there but expect it to be slightly buggy for a couple months. Aside from that, I personally would LOVE to have it.
@@BeamerView thank you for the reply and enjoy watching your videos! From the Pre-LCI m340i, have you heard anything about reliability issues? Cause I am really thinking of keeping this car after the lease
I have a 2022 x3 msport x drive, and only drive about 600 miles a month, I keep my cars an average of 5 years before trading in for a new one, , my only concern is at the end of the warranty at 4 years, I'll average about 24k in mileage, should I even consider spending money for the additional years worth of coverage
It would all come down to how long you plan on keeping the vehicle. I've asked the question myself and my whole service department as well and we all agree that we would NEVER own a BMW or even any car without warranty. Even though BMW is considered number 3 in top reliability, technology is technology and things can always fail no matter what car you have. I have a close cousin who owns a Toyota Camry and he said his sunroof wasn't working and the vehicle wasn't in warranty, and now he has to pay up $9K to fix it. I would invest in the warranty if you know you'll be keeping it for a long time. If you speak with the business manager and get the warranty upfront it's cheaper, and I would confirm but the portion of the warranty you do not use say for whatever reason you decided to get rid of the vehicle early, you can refund the portion that you didn't use as well. Hope this helps!
Usually like bmw interiors but not this one. I unfortunately passed on the BMW X3 because it came with performance tires and here in New England won’t work for the winter. A winter setup is really an expensive add on. Also because bmw hijacks things like remote start and makes you pay for it.
True, definitely have to have a winter setup, that includes rims and tires to get the best feel. Not cheap I agree. I also wish things like remote start would come free and included. It’s super useful anywhere and everywhere
@@BeamerView I agree and especially when vehicles that cost much less come with remote start and have for years it shouldn’t be an option or subscription on a more expensive vehicle. Doesn’t make sense.
I kinda agree with you on the interior. That’s the reason I didn’t choose iX, because of the interior. Can’t you choose the set of tires when you buy the car? In Europe you can choose between many options and sets. I had my winter tires as friction type (no studs) (Here in Finland cars always come with two sets of tires (summer/winter)). And maybe not so popular in the US, but for example X3 30e doesn’t need remote start as it can cool/warm up the car electrically.
@@JMF77 I believe here in the us there aren’t those options on the bmw as far as the tires. There is one wheel on the X3 that comes with an all season which is okay but it’s the base wheel and not that nice. All others come with performance tires and some are run flats and I’m not a fan as they give a harsher ride.
@@HRCfan17 Yeah, I don’t like run flats either. Too bad the options for tires is so limited. All season is always a compromise and not a very good one. Therefore I always go with two sets. Lots of snow forecasted for tomorrow so here it starts - 5 months of snow driving. 😋
Hi I love yours videos y searching for a key fob cover for this key 3:34 y see the link of this video but is for other Let me know if you can help me with this Tks a lot😅
Hello, please I have a question, in your opinion, is there any reliability issues to watch out for in an X3 2020 2 liters 4 cylinder engine? Thank you.
Hey JP, the vehicle is known to have slightly above average reliability so I wouldn’t worry too much. Make sure you keep up with the services and you’ll be fine!
Not being able to drive with another vehicle - not true. I have had 2 bmw and no problem switching to (VW and Opel). I loved BMW and it is true their driving experience is special but I have not spent so much time in the repair shop with any other car as it has been the case with BMW ..
Dude PLEASE add audio afterwards instead of cutting in the video the entire time. For example the part about lease or buy has a cut every couple of seconds.
Good point! Agreed that portion was very choppy. I tend to do everything on the fly to keep it more natrual and cut out the bits where their are pauses but I can imagine how that can get annoying too. Thanks for letting me know, will learn from it =) Reach out if you ever have any questions!
Hi, just subscribed a couple of days ago. I’m leasing a X1 2023. If I wanted to tint my windows is that something I can do through the dealership or do I have to go somewhere else for that? Or is that something frowned upon by dealership and should not do all together.
Congrats on leasing it! I know a ton of leased vehicles that have tinted windows. You could ask the dealership if they could do it from a 3rd party they may know. Or any professional shop could do it. Tinted windows are easy to remove so don’t worry.
@@Cubansoul1973 Last year I was able to negotiate window tinting on my 5 Series lease. The dealership was accommodating. However, the dealership won't tint the windows any darker than what your state allows.
I need your help. I have two problems concerning navigation on the apple play. First of all it is showing two home addresses . I don’t know how to delete the wrong and when I speak into the car to ask for the right address and says home address not listed on contact card.

Have you ever seen hidden featured aircraft? We need real buttons what we can reach directly to the feature. Car manufacturers must give up from this unnecessary mystery.
there be no stigma if bmw drives start using indicators and stops behave like kings of the roads..at least in Europe 😅...apart from that bmw x1 is on my choices list...
It is laughable, I’m driving one, the software is playing crazy. Sometimes after you started the car it takes 20-30 minutes until you can see anything on the screen. The best thing is when during you drive the trunk is getting open or the mirrors getting closed. Really it’s not as funny as you think.
Hey Vile, that's quite unusual for the screen to come on, also never heard of the trunk opening by itself nor the mirrors moving on their own. Very well sounds like a software issue, i would bring it to service to see if they can re-flash the system.
Yeah, there is much more to tell about. After the first recall because of too heigh NOX, - the AGR valve and Lambda sensor were shortly destroyed (the new software caused too much of soot setting down on the AGR valve) (50T km), but BMW said I have to pay for this by myself. This year came a new recall because of -too much soot - and the danger of brand. They wrote in the letter I got “ it must be done or the vehicle will lose the approbation to drive” So I called the authorities ( Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt) and…. They said, it isn’t the truth !!! The recall is for installing of warning text - “too much of soot” but not any danger of losing the approbation for this vehicle. BMW decided by themselves for this threat of losing approbation but just used the name of the Authority. Maybe they got the rights to do it and be like an Authority! So as next they can maybe write to me, “I’m arrested” or so.

For me the BMW is the best drive. My wife has a Mercedes E400, and I still prefer my 428i over it. Responsiveness, connection to the road, can't be matched. The merc does have nicer interior and luxury features. But I want to drive, not sleep.
Well said!
BMW is the only car that make you feel like a KING when behind the steering wheel.
Agreed! I feel completely different in it than any other brand of car.
Well done! Great advice for the first time (or second+ time ) Beamer buyer. Thanks! I'm interested in your advice about purchasing a BMW iX M50! I'm hooked on this EV instead of buying a comparable Tesla Y or X. The price is STEEP for the BMW and Tesla, but you get so much more for the money when you buy the BMW, in my opinion! What do you think?? Thanks!
Hey Dan! Thanks for taking the time to comment and glad the videos are helping you! I'm assuming you meant either the iX edrive 50 or the iX M60? Either way, I would highly recommend them both over Tesla's.
I will mention that there are a couple little things here and there that Tesla has over the Beamers such as door sensors, some tech, etc. But, at the end of the day cars are meant to be driven and that's what BMW does the best.
Not only that, the BMW drive with Electric vehicles is better than ever before. Now with instant torque combined with BMW's handling and driving dynamics they are more ahead of the competition more than ever.
The tech in BMW's is all up to date as well with things like Digital Keys, Advanced Voice commands / personal Assistant, so that is also a +.
Hope this helps, I wouldn't think twice with going with the iX! You'll love it!
Im on my 3rd, want to get the M4 next . 323, 530, 428, now boosted.
Nice!
I do love my BMW❤, but I absolutely hate the huge repair bill. I did buy mine certified, but if I purchase another one (cough cough)…it will be a lease..
Yes. Leasing is a peace of mind!
I’m leasing a base model X1 I’m seriously thinking about buying it when my lease is up
I would! The new one will hold up its value very well!
Just traded in my 2020 530 e for a 2023 x5 40 I xDrive with m sport and 22 inch wheels and we are in love
Congrats Ryan! The New X5s are amazing!
I agree with #1 i switched out and tried something else and I was miserable! I am on my 3rd about to pick up my certified 2022 BMW X3 M sport in another week 😬
Yesss! Amazing vehicle. Congratulations!!
Same story here. And also same, my x3 m sport is coming to my garage in a week 😁
@@wahabtang7989 love it!
What do you think about the 2023 X4 M40i ?
LOVE IT. Probably one of the best sounding BMWs. I love the feel for it, and its a perfect balance of power.
Does the 2023 BMW X1 have the auto start/stop function? If it has it, how do you turn it off? I did not see a button on the center console to turn it off like my X5 has.
I’m quite sure all the newer BMWs are all going to have the mild hybrid system which basically prevents you from controlling the auto start feature.
It’s a bummer, but I will say that it’s the smoothest out of any auto start stop that I’ve ever been in. It’s a smarter system as well too.
You won’t be disappointed by it.
What's the deal with the lack of Android Auto in BMW cars? I see BMW ads showing Android Auto (in all cars?) but not in the cars I see. The only fix is an aftermarket $800+ MMI box that must be [professionally] installed. There is also the risk of voiding your warranty by plugging in an optional accessory.
I believe they are promoting it now more than ever now. It's still fairly new but since late 2022+ they began to introduce them on newer vehicles.
I just got a new bmw x1 with convenience package and it has wireless android auto
Great Presentation!!!
Thanks! Lot more comin
@@BeamerView You’re welcome.
I’m writing from Uzbekistan, and I need your recommendation whether I should buy x5 now or wait until a new x5 will come out ? What do you think mate ?
I would wait for the new one. It’s going to have idrive 8 and a nice redesign. The interior will be all updated. Technology will also be ahead of its time.
currently they (BMW) are offering me the special price and I suppose it’s gonna be much cheaper rather the one ? Very confuse :?
I've had three BMWs starting in mid-90s to mid-2000s. I stopped buying them because I can't keep them any longer than about 5 or 6 years. The ones from the 80s, 90s, early 2000s you could keep running for a decade without too much trouble. Starting around 2005 or so, I don't know what happened. No matter how well you follow the maintenance schedule, parts fail at around 6 years and they are monstrously expensive to replace. BMW = lease and dump only. I drive Alfa Romeo now; 5 years on Giulia Ti and nothing has broken yet. 🙂
Agreed. I also think they are Bess just leasing purposes. Only one after 6+ years can be a nightmare, especially if you do not know how to work on your own car.
Not only that, but the fun to drive factor is not quite there any more, in comparison to my 2003 525i that has unfortunately become unreliable, but with unmatched ride quality, not to mention luxury. Leased a 3 series recently, it was ok, but nowhere near, materials ok, quality ok, visibility bad, utility bad, steering meh, comfort meh, erratic shifting. Leased an Alfa Jiulia. Materials a bit below, visibility bad, utility bad, steering responsive but not accurate, comfort good, shifting good. Very tossable. Good power to weight ratio. But assembly is not perfect. Broke down when it was time to end lease. Want another one? Well… want a reliable replacement for my 525i. I challenge BMW beat its previous achievement
Just wait till the Alfa breaks 😅
I've heard only bad news about Alfas, hence poor resale values. My 428 is now 8 years old. Just had first repair for a broken hose, which was only costly because they had to remove the booster to get to it. But my car is running great, can get any speed up to Max the speedometer easily.
@@Mugsy-14 It's a great way to own a BMW. Also great because You'll always have roadside assistance and upgrade the vehicle every 3 years. Good plan!
I have MDX ASPEC 2022 and rented a BMW X5 2018 thru TURO during my vacation in LA. I felt that the MDX is a lot better in term of driving dynamic. I am wondering if the new versions of X5 is a lot better? Is it a fair comparison?
New X5 is muchhhh better compared to the 18 version. They did a major redesign for it in 2019.
The 2022 Acura just got its new redesign a few months ago. So that’s kinda like comparing two vehicles 2 generations apart tbh.
I’ve driven the 22 Acura. Safe to say the X5 driving is far better. Just my opinion.
I own x5 2022 now. No comparison to 2018
@@natalim2220 There you go!
My M340i is finally entering production! Is there anything that you heard regarding anything going wrong or issues with them? I’m leasing it, do you think it’s worth keeping after?
The vehicle itself, in terms of hardware, is perfect and probably one of the best BMW does. I will say that the software or OS8 isn't perfected yet. It's getting better with some updates here and there but expect it to be slightly buggy for a couple months. Aside from that, I personally would LOVE to have it.
@@BeamerView thank you for the reply and enjoy watching your videos! From the Pre-LCI m340i, have you heard anything about reliability issues? Cause I am really thinking of keeping this car after the lease
You mentioned knowing when the redesigns are coming out and pay attention to that. Do you know when the 5 series will get its next update?
2024 the 5 Series should be getting a full design. Also will be launching the new i5.
I have a 2022 x3 msport x drive, and only drive about 600 miles a month, I keep my cars an average of 5 years before trading in for a new one, , my only concern is at the end of the warranty at 4 years, I'll average about 24k in mileage, should I even consider spending money for the additional years worth of coverage
It would all come down to how long you plan on keeping the vehicle. I've asked the question myself and my whole service department as well and we all agree that we would NEVER own a BMW or even any car without warranty. Even though BMW is considered number 3 in top reliability, technology is technology and things can always fail no matter what car you have.
I have a close cousin who owns a Toyota Camry and he said his sunroof wasn't working and the vehicle wasn't in warranty, and now he has to pay up $9K to fix it. I would invest in the warranty if you know you'll be keeping it for a long time. If you speak with the business manager and get the warranty upfront it's cheaper, and I would confirm but the portion of the warranty you do not use say for whatever reason you decided to get rid of the vehicle early, you can refund the portion that you didn't use as well.
Hope this helps!
Usually like bmw interiors but not this one. I unfortunately passed on the BMW X3 because it came with performance tires and here in New England won’t work for the winter. A winter setup is really an expensive add on. Also because bmw hijacks things like remote start and makes you pay for it.
True, definitely have to have a winter setup, that includes rims and tires to get the best feel. Not cheap I agree.
I also wish things like remote start would come free and included. It’s super useful anywhere and everywhere
@@BeamerView I agree and especially when vehicles that cost much less come with remote start and have for years it shouldn’t be an option or subscription on a more expensive vehicle. Doesn’t make sense.
I kinda agree with you on the interior. That’s the reason I didn’t choose iX, because of the interior. Can’t you choose the set of tires when you buy the car? In Europe you can choose between many options and sets. I had my winter tires as friction type (no studs) (Here in Finland cars always come with two sets of tires (summer/winter)). And maybe not so popular in the US, but for example X3 30e doesn’t need remote start as it can cool/warm up the car electrically.
@@JMF77 I believe here in the us there aren’t those options on the bmw as far as the tires. There is one wheel on the X3 that comes with an all season which is okay but it’s the base wheel and not that nice. All others come with performance tires and some are run flats and I’m not a fan as they give a harsher ride.
@@HRCfan17 Yeah, I don’t like run flats either. Too bad the options for tires is so limited. All season is always a compromise and not a very good one. Therefore I always go with two sets. Lots of snow forecasted for tomorrow so here it starts - 5 months of snow driving. 😋
Hi I love yours videos y searching for a key fob cover for this key 3:34 y see the link of this video but is for other
Let me know if you can help me with this
Tks a lot😅
Thanks Kevin! That new key fob is super brand new and BMW hasn't made any covers for it, expect it to roll out in about 6-8 months!
Hello, please I have a question, in your opinion, is there any reliability issues to watch out for in an X3 2020 2 liters 4 cylinder engine? Thank you.
Hey JP, the vehicle is known to have slightly above average reliability so I wouldn’t worry too much.
Make sure you keep up with the services and you’ll be fine!
It’s true when you buy a beemer you won’t go back.
I couldn’t get rid of my RS3 quick enough 2 snap up my 1M coupe
Agreed. I had a 330i once and loved it more than my 13 Audi S5!
Not being able to drive with another vehicle - not true. I have had 2 bmw and no problem switching to (VW and Opel). I loved BMW and it is true their driving experience is special but I have not spent so much time in the repair shop with any other car as it has been the case with BMW ..
Well said!
What is the best way to clean the screen in my BMW?
Hey Ginny, great to hear from you again.
I personally use this for ALL my devices and its great to keep in your car somewhere as well.
amzn.to/3BpYlMW
Thank you so much! Your the best!
Dude PLEASE add audio afterwards instead of cutting in the video the entire time. For example the part about lease or buy has a cut every couple of seconds.
Good point! Agreed that portion was very choppy. I tend to do everything on the fly to keep it more natrual and cut out the bits where their are pauses but I can imagine how that can get annoying too. Thanks for letting me know, will learn from it =) Reach out if you ever have any questions!
I just bought my first BMW. I will stick with BMW
Can't go back!! =)
@@BeamerView for sure I hit 120 on the highway like nothing
Hi, just subscribed a couple of days ago. I’m leasing a X1 2023. If I wanted to tint my windows is that something I can do through the dealership or do I have to go somewhere else for that? Or is that something frowned upon by dealership and should not do all together.
Congrats on leasing it! I know a ton of leased vehicles that have tinted windows.
You could ask the dealership if they could do it from a 3rd party they may know. Or any professional shop could do it.
Tinted windows are easy to remove so don’t worry.
@@BeamerView Thank you for the quick reply! I really appreciate it.
@@Cubansoul1973 Last year I was able to negotiate window tinting on my 5 Series lease. The dealership was accommodating. However, the dealership won't tint the windows any darker than what your state allows.
@@ajclark6815 wow that’s amazing. Just curious what state do you live in? and thank you for the feedback.
@@Cubansoul1973 You’re welcome. I’m in Florida.
bmw and gmc are my fav
For sure!
bro do they have paddle shifter ?
Most BMW's have them, but this X1 does not.
People are jealous of BMW owners 🤣🤣🤣
I have to agree with it! Feels great!
@@BeamerView That's when we accelerate, look at them in the rear view like a thing of the past 😭
Do you have a video on voice commands for the BMW?
Hey Ginny! Yes. ruclips.net/video/k-aTO99FZBQ/видео.html
Let me know if you ever have any questions!
I need your help. I have two problems concerning navigation on the apple play. First of all it is showing two home addresses . I don’t know how to delete the wrong and when I speak into the car to ask for the right address and says home address not listed on contact card.
I found out my problem. It seems I had to home addresses in my contact info. It took me so long to find that out. I deleted the wrong one so I am all set for now. Thank you
The camera work was making me sea sick
Haha my bad. Will be more smooth next time
I came for Mottorad content... Shouldn't your channel be properly renamed to BimmerView? Since Beamers are for BMW Motorcycles...
Yes.
Have you ever seen hidden featured aircraft? We need real buttons what we can reach directly to the feature. Car manufacturers must give up from this unnecessary mystery.
I am also a fan of physical buttons, at least for the temperate adjustment!
Thanks for the warnings mate👍👍 I plan on getting a BMW 5 series sedan xdrive as my first car as a high schooler and this really help a lot.👍👍
Glad to hear and congrats on the 5 series! You’ll love it.
Super fast and fun to drive.
there be no stigma if bmw drives start using indicators and stops behave like kings of the roads..at least in Europe 😅...apart from that bmw x1 is on my choices list...
Haha, I doubt that will be happening soon, myself included! Let's all drive like KINGS, AND QUEENS!
This was misleading, but then again what did you expect from a car salesman??
Thanks for the feedback, I'm not in sales though =)
Must be the 1’s outside U.S!! The ones here is trash . Bad timing chains to oil pump , leaks etc
Ouch!! I will say the ones I had, after 60k miles it started to get buggy.
Wait?! What that mean?
#1 : Have that amount of money
Anything is possible!
BMW without iDrive is just so much more generic and I would not buy it
Thanks for the input!
It is laughable, I’m driving one, the software is playing crazy. Sometimes after you started the car it takes 20-30 minutes until you can see anything on the screen. The best thing is when during you drive the trunk is getting open or the mirrors getting closed. Really it’s not as funny as you think.
Hey Vile, that's quite unusual for the screen to come on, also never heard of the trunk opening by itself nor the mirrors moving on their own.
Very well sounds like a software issue, i would bring it to service to see if they can re-flash the system.
Yeah, there is much more to tell about. After the first recall because of too heigh NOX, - the AGR valve and Lambda sensor were shortly destroyed (the new software caused too much of soot setting down on the AGR valve) (50T km), but BMW said I have to pay for this by myself. This year came a new recall because of -too much soot - and the danger of brand. They wrote in the letter I got “ it must be done or the vehicle will lose the approbation to drive” So I called the authorities ( Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt) and…. They said, it isn’t the truth !!!
The recall is for installing of warning text - “too much of soot” but not any danger of losing the approbation for this vehicle. BMW decided by themselves for this threat of losing approbation but just used the name of the Authority. Maybe they got the rights to do it and be like an Authority! So as next they can maybe write to me, “I’m arrested” or so.
