    The last feature that I learned was when I removed the seats...neat design for when you get in a collision to make the seats go upright and lowered at the same time and the seatbelt with tighten simultaneously....but closing the sunroof+windows with the key has always been my favorite and most used...

    Btw if you like those features, you should look into e38. First it's the best gangster car ever, and second it has so many that probably not even its engineers know them all. 750iL and/or Individual/Luxury versions are especially crazy.
    Great video!

    The one side parking light is a bit different in Europe. We have parking lights in the main headlight unit, it’s the one near the kidneys, not in the turn lights. The one side is used when you park in night on street partially on the road, so just half of your car is blocking the road. You put the indicator in the position like you did, there is a resistance and parking lights in front and the back turn on. This was a mandatory thing to do.

    In the uk E36, if you make sure your interior courtesy lights are set to auto, so they come on when you open the doors, then with the doors locked, hold one of the door handles for a fee seconds, the interior lights come on with the car still locked, so you can see if you left anything in your car
    I think the same proceedure de-ices the door locks when the temperature is below a certain level

      There are lots of features in the obc. You can see battery voltage with program 9. Oh, if you have big injectors for say a supercharger like I do, there is only so much you can offset the mileage correction. If your flashlight actually works, count your self lucky.

      That’s the obvious conclusion to jump to but there’s almost no difference between 316i, 318i ,318is and 320i in real world driving conditions because the basic 316i and 318i only have 100 and 114 bhp respectively, those engines struggle to keep up with traffic unless the driver compensates by always revving slightly heavier (plus they’re no fun)
      318is is 140 bhp. 320i is 150 bhp with 6 cylinder so will sound better but will cost more on servicing. All models I’ve listed are 29-32 mpg (US roads)

    Do the following if you have an E36, on the gage cluster next to the fuel gauge is a button press and hold it, now tourn the ignition on to acc, the first position, now the odometer will display something different, let the button go, because the next thing that's going to happen the gauge cluster enters its test mode, be patient in the end all the needles will go clockwise to their end position, and back, you're welcome.

      Second time was a complete freak accident, car was running I stepped out to get something from my trunk, I was parked at an angle the the drivers door closed itself (I didn’t think much of it, the car was unlocked and running) and as I made my way to the trunk I hit the button to open it and I hear the locks move, then I was like “f***” and had to call my step mom to grab the spare wallet key from the house.

      @@eddies366 No injuries thank God . But crazy enough the guy that towed my wrecked car from the scene of the accident had a E46 and a wrecking yard saw how beautiful and clean my e36 was. and actually talked up the insurance adjustment guy for me and ended up cutting me a generous check . I'm very Thankful and it crushed me when that happened . but I'm glad it worked out and grabbed another before the prices really got out of hand . Cherish your baby because they are special ! ✌️
