sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any help you can give me
I just bought a 116i. Before i bought it i talked with the dealer. ALWAYS change the spark plugs and ingitions. The engine is so smooth and the gears are lovely 😍
My 130i M sport is a Japanese import. When the dealer I bought it from imported it, they put new dash dials on it, converting it from KPH to MPH. In the process, they've put on a dial cluster with an engine temp gauge, and connected it up! (Either that, or Japanese spec cars simply had the temp gauge as standard). So I've got a 130i with a temp gauge! My old 130i SE (UK spec) had no gauge, and it frustrated the heck out of me, esp with the N52's known appetite for water pumps. Really glad to have the gauge
I love these tips. I just got a ’21 118d and it took me an hour to learn how to lock the doors. I have a automatic and learned that I have to press the P on the shifter, along with the P for parking brake. Now I have to learn how to keep the radio turned off after restarting the car.
I just hate that the 1 series doesn't come with a temp gauge as standard as I always care getting on temperature before going on the higher rpms, just so annoying
Tip: attach your key ring to the side of the fob that is the larger piece, not to the detachable door key. I lost my key fob once because the key detached by accident.
You can do the coolant bleed on non electric water pump engines too. Just need to leave engine running for a bit of temp at 28 degrees and screw loose. Did it on my 320i in 10 mins
Great video George. Very useful info about the hidden features on the dashboard. Once we lock in the code, how many items can be tested ? Can you provide us with a list ?
These features are absolutely great and I haven’t known about them until now! I have a 2006 130i with all the specs and the Idrive system so I’m glad I got to know these tricks that I haven’t noticed! Great video
Hi George, Hi Erik! How high is rev limiter set on your cars? My 2007 130i cuts off at 7000. I am asking because I had to replace the engine and a new one has less power than the original one. I am afraid this engine came from 125i.
The window feature and removable key is ob any car with a remote key tbh. And the passenger mirror dropping is a merc feature, plus a major pain in the ass. I find it tilts to much so you can't even see the kerb lol
the reversing mirror in BMW is just amazing only turn them on when I need to park close to a curb on a busy road, unluckily my car doesnt have folding mirrors
Thnxs so much for this video and yes many secrets in BMW;) and many secrets I dint know so thnxs for this man;) I have BMW 1 series from 2006 and it drives like a dream;=) but its more secrets as you know this is not all.
@@GeorgeAusters Man is the secret luggage and fuel cap (emergency) secret opening also in this car. Watch on youtube;) ruclips.net/video/DrzHnSDDzxM/видео.html and here: ruclips.net/video/4EokNCxnU4U/видео.html
I know this is a VERY late comment, but how do I get MPG up on the screen, as far as I can see I need factory radio that I don’t have? I’ve got litres per km or something similar to that but obviously that’s not a UK way of doing it 😅😅
One huge problem they didn't think about is how the batteries in the boot but you can't unlock the boot if the batteries dead so it makes getting it started after the batteries gone very difficult
In the engine bay, you will find connectors to attach a jump starter. The connector has a red protection cap on it which is visible in this video as well 👍
Hey buddy I have a BMW e87 hatchback 2005 but the key doesn't do all these tricks if there is any configuration to make it works I will appreciate it Thanks Great video!
My 2011 120d msport coupe was the bmw show car So it’s got everything Even the fin on the roof and Bluetooth all the hidden stuff had it 5 years done all my own work and it’s been brilliant looking to buy a new car now. Bmw 420d grand coupe xdrive and found out my 120d still worth £6000 Did look and see other ones are £2000 but coz the toys it’s wanted
The light in the speedometer and the other round thing have disappeared from me, but when I use the switch that can turn on headlights, the light comes back there. What could it be? 😮😮😮
Hi what is the problem in BMW e90 wend I drive the car in hay view some time is coming this yellow light top up the DTC and den can’t drive over 80 km thanks if you have a IDEA
I observed that "Service Engine Soon DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT" is ON in your videos. same is the case with me. why is it so? why it remains ON all the time?
Random question but would appreciate some help: when I leave and lock then car with the lights left in the on position (not side lights, but leave on dipped beam). The dash lights and lights outside turn off and no warning bel alarms to say you've left the lights on. When you then unlock the car the side come on which I like. Will this drain the battery if I do this all the time??
Great job, but you didn't really tell the whole procedure of gaining access to the boot in case the battery goes flat. You just told to fold the rear seats. Now, what you didn't tell, was that you can reach (or crawl if you are too short) into the boot and pull the emergency boot lid wire. Take a look at the inside of your boot lid - there is a small, pinkie sized rectangular plastic tab that you can pull out of the boot lid trim and it is connected to a wire. Pull on it and it will manually unlock the boot lid. Great stuff in case your battery goes flat (or you get kidnapped in a 1er xD )
I tried to code my car with Carly .. everything works but side wing Mirrors dont with the fob key :( even Carly says the coding was successful… any ideas advices please guys
Hi George, thank you for this video, very helpful. I have a Bmw 120d m pack coupe and I can do all of above mentioned excepting folding my mirrors from the keyfob. I can do it from that inside button but not from the key. I would love to be able to fold them when I lock my car, any suggestions? Thank you.
It’s interesting that RHD gearboxes are the same as LHD. I have an ‘09 128i 6 speed, and to go into reverse by pressing all the way left then up. I just assumed it would be the opposite (right then up). So I learned that as well lol :)
this might also be a safety feature. you wouldn't want to gear up from 6th into reverse :) that said, the mazda mx5 (nb, 2nd gen) has its reverse all to the right (and down I think) next to 6th gear. it is locked off when driving, but not perfectly, because I think i managed to unwillingly go past a little and heard gears slightly grind. (like when you try to do a money shift)

Can you please link the spark plugs for the bmw 116i ? Have you got an e87 ?
"ALWAYS" change them?? Daily, hourly, ?? Please elaborate.
116i N45 самое говно, которое только могло случиться с Е87.
This video is truly a gem! Thanks for taking the time!👍

LCI cars come with oil temperature gauge
I own a black manual 2008 BMW 1series convertable. Best car i have ever owned. 5yrs no issues. Not even a cough.
Thank u for the video info ❤

Best to wait 5-10 mins 👍🏻
agreed maybe install as a accessories.
At least the 35i has an oil temp gauge, it's more important to me than coolant imo.
@@jonnysteve_RF The LCI model actually does come with a temp gauge
@@GeorgeAusters my 2008 LCI doesn't, or is that normal?
Tip: attach your key ring to the side of the fob that is the larger piece, not to the detachable door key. I lost my key fob once because the key detached by accident.
Thank you! Had mine on the detachable key. Saved me a huge headache!
well i was waiting some hidden pocket or openning with space to put wallet or something, but, it is a really nice soll hidden stuff!
Ikr

Nice view count keep it up dude!
Cheers mate!
I've shared this video in a facebook bmw 1 series group. 18k members.
Wish we had a 4door 1series here in USA. I have a 128i coupe, fun car
Nice info, but just fyi, the window and sunroof opening by key was available already on 80s/90s bmw’s with central locking. I could do that on my e34
Best video I‘ve ever seen. You got a follower more buddy
🙌🏼
Very informative, thanks
Thanks dude I did wonder why my mirror stopped tilting down in reverse ,didnt realise the lil button had to be pushed across.
You're welcome man!
Is this only on certain specs? It doesn’t work for me :(
embarrassed - I hadn't realised either - thank you
8:10 im wondering whats the number next of kilometers "112.7" what is it for? Thanks for reply.
This is "daily" kilometers/miles counter which you can reset.
Well worth watching
thank u my bro i learned one oh 2 things and I'm so greatful for that I will check my 120i
This was enjoyable to watch its got so many features can't believe its 05 msports are so good 👀
Yep👌🏼
Awesome, thanks buddy
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for sharing the info,very helpful indeed! Keep up the good work.
thanks for posting this sir! very informative 👍
nice video mate!

Welcome buddy!
my windows go up at all now great job
Good stuff!
Gracias amigo excelente video un saludo
Hi thank you for all information
Good information
Cool video with many tipps
Welcome 😁
Very useful... Thanks!!!
Hi mate, does this car have hill start assist, if not do you know what year they came into the 1 series.
Cheers great vid 👍
This car doesn’t however usually an optional extra from factory on all of them
I have used Carista on mine to enable the digital speed display and the alarm bleeps.
I will be coding A LOT to this car mate🙌🏼
It sure can, but Carista was cheaper. My main reason was to turn off the wretched stop-start function (mines a diesel)
The window feature and removable key is ob any car with a remote key tbh. And the passenger mirror dropping is a merc feature, plus a major pain in the ass.
I find it tilts to much so you can't even see the kerb lol
Very educative. Kudos
Thanks, I'm looking for a 130i at the moment, this helps alot :D
Glad to help!
Love it!
Super handy all that mate.. thanks!
No problem mate you’re welcome
Do you know how to code a BMW 118d sport plus coupe (2012) to have a digital speedometer?
Whoa i never knew about the reverse mirror thing for parking
Well now you do 😁
@@GeorgeAusters Thank you :D cant wait to try it tomorrow
do i need to code the mirror folding on my bmw e87 120d?
Thanks again the info George.
the reversing mirror in BMW is just amazing only turn them on when I need to park close to a curb on a busy road, unluckily my car doesnt have folding mirrors
Yes a very very useful feature indeed!
Kerb
Mine doesn't even have the reversing mirror thing
Awesome Car!!!

Nice tips. I have a M 123d
Nice job 👍
Thanks man
How u connect your phone to the car to play music?
Hey! I missed something or you haven't mentioned about the engine warning light you have?😂 i have the same from yesterday...😵💫
Which warning light?
that was interesting. i just bought my first diesel bmw yesterday and i'll try that, when the car ist here.
120d, 2008
😃
Good luck!
Hello.. thnx for this video, please is that bmw 1 series 116d 168 ch ?
This is a 130i
Bro I love you ❤️💕
Wow just tried the window thing with my key fob on my 118i nd it worked. Mind totally blown
Haha!
How much the coolant heats ?
My 2011 120d msport coupe was the bmw show car So it’s got everything
Even the fin on the roof and Bluetooth all the hidden stuff had it 5 years done all my own work and it’s been brilliant looking to buy a new car now. Bmw 420d grand coupe xdrive and found out my 120d still worth £6000
Did look and see other ones are £2000 but coz the toys it’s wanted
wowwwww thankssssss man
That was very useful
Glad to help!
Worked the long press on my BMW mini sun roof whilst it pissed it down. Doesn't that 1 series have the flippy badge for the boot?
Yes it does👍🏻
The light in the speedometer and the other round thing have disappeared from me, but when I use the switch that can turn on headlights, the light comes back there. What could it be? 😮😮😮
Hi what is the problem in BMW e90 wend I drive the car in hay view some time is coming this yellow light top up the DTC and den can’t drive over 80 km thanks if you have a IDEA
How can be stopt the airbag is flashing always on the board when i start the car and the seat belt is there any code to stopt those issus
Great video! Unfortunately the roll window up feature seems to not work in North America.
Can be coded in
@@GeorgeAusters I'm a new owner, so I assume that means I take it to the dealer and they do it?
Thanks mate
Welcome!
Cool video George! +1 new Subscriber
Awesome thank you!
if u want to go into the boot mate you can pores the logo in and pull it up??
Yes
So nice , how about 116 i 2006 2 L?
please tell me why when you turn on the turn signal to the right or to the left there is no sound.
This temp gauge doesn't stay on while driving though from my findings or am i doing something wrong ? Temperature would be very useful to me.
It does if you start the engine up straight from that menu
@@GeorgeAusters I'll try it again Thankyou sir.
I have problem when I’m open my centre lock my back door is open some time. Can you help me
thank you for your ınformatıon .however how ı get my code after 19.yours 36
hidden features include the dip stick and temp gauge
Nice Bmw🔥🔥🔥
Whats is the name/model of the rims thats on this car ?? :)
My favorite feature is the broken timing chain in my 118i.
Yeah that’s why I don’t recommend that engine👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusterswhich petrol engines do you recommend
i also have chrisstmas tree lights on my dashboard exacly like yours how can i get rid of them ?
You need to push the logo to open the boot from outside 😂😂😂

No, it won't flatten your battery (I've done it myself). That's what it's specifically designed to avoid.
how to unlock my side views so that I can open and close when locked with the key. Thank you!
If you have powerfold mirrors then they just need coding
@@GeorgeAusters special coding or can you do it from the hidden menu?
Great job, but you didn't really tell the whole procedure of gaining access to the boot in case the battery goes flat. You just told to fold the rear seats.

Pull on it and it will manually unlock the boot lid. Great stuff in case your battery goes flat (or you get kidnapped in a 1er xD )
This has actually saved me like 2 times, when I disconnect the battery to work on electrics and accidentally close the boot.
Can me take a minute to appreciate how fast you did that maths....
Tack so mycket 🌹
Hi mate, nice video, just got my 1 series, where can i get some of those mirrors and are they hard to fit?
They’ll need retrofitting programming to work on your car
Okay bud cheers
mine is a 116i petrol 2008 and my side mirrors don't do that 😢
Hi pal how do i know i have powerful mirrors I have Bmw1 series 2013
They'll be the button there for them
How to start the car when the electrical key is low on battery or smth like that?
I tried to code my car with Carly .. everything works but side wing Mirrors dont with the fob key :( even Carly says the coding was successful… any ideas advices please guys
How are the headlights adjusted?

Yep. Here you go: amzn.to/39ZyiNG

Yeah doesn’t make sense to make 2 gearboxes I guess
this might also be a safety feature. you wouldn't want to gear up from 6th into reverse :)
