    There is one more hidden feature in the car. I found this out yesterday (accidentaly):
    1) I put my car keys in my school bag.
    2) I put the bag inside the car boot and tried shutting the boot.
    3) The car never allowed me to shut the boot.
    This is an amazing feature, that saved me from a lot of inconvenience. I marvel at BMWs design feature.
    I owned my BMW 320i since May 2013. I found out about this feature accidentally yesterday 02/24/2023.

    I have a 2014 BMW 328D M Sport, and I just love it. I have had it for over 2 years without any issues. We recently drove to Vancouver WA from California, much of the way we cruised at 75 to 80 MPH. I averaged over 43 MPG. This is the perfect road trip car. Very comfortable and after adding the BAV Sound Speaker System the sound system is awesome.

      I test drove a 328d but it had a couple of issues. I did get a 328i. I love how smooth and predictable the acceleration is in comfort mode. For a gasser, it's still very efficient.

      @@carsonteeter302 Yes, I love it. My car now has around 80,000 miles on it. I have not had any mechanical issues,. I don't beat it up, I drive it nice. I just did a trip to San Diego, from Tracy California and average 43.8 MPG and I was driving on cruise control most of the time at 76 MPH. This is a great car for long trips.

  • @RyoSaeba0077
    @RyoSaeba0077 7 лет назад +44

    You can "force touch" the cruise control lever up or down to increase or decrease by 5mph at a time. So if you're going 72 and push the lever up all the way (you'll feel a "bump") it will go to 75. Do it again and it will go to 80, then 85, etc.

    Nice video! One sad thing about BMW culture today is that they make an active effort to bind you to the dealer - even going so far as to include many installed features in some sort of "subscription" scheme. And looking in the owner's manual for oil quantity recommendations it has a phrase "Oil changes should be done only by authorized BMW dealers." HAHA...Really, REALLY?????? Thank goodness for RUclips and guys like you who produce such useful videos so we can perform simple maintenance on our wonderful cars.

    It wasn't mentioned in the video, so I'll mention it here. The Europe side parking light feature is still active. Europe isn't required to have side reflectors as in the USA, they use one-sided parking lights if on the side of the road. To do this: Turn OFF the car. Push and hold the turn signal either left or right and only one headlight/angel eye & one taillight will come on for that side. The other side of the car will be dark. This alerts drivers you are on the roadside without draining too much battery. Hope you find it fun and helpful.

  • @miketess4272
    @miketess4272 4 года назад +5

    Tip in the hood latch’s on BMWs more than a couple years old: There are two cables. One from the handle to the left latch, and another from the left latch to the right latch. So if only one side opens your cable fell off or broke. I suggest using some stainless cables and attach some “emergency release” cables to both. Run them down to under the engine splash shield and tuck them away.

    Does this have attachment points underneath the rails to attach a roof rack? If so, how do you remove the rails. Mine have no 'doors' in the rails. Thanks

    I'm thinking of buying a 328i 2015 and wanted your advice if its a good car to get or if there is another model under 22k that is more reliable. Also since I wont be doing my own servicing can you give me a realistic idea how much I will be spending yearly to maintain this car, service and repairs? If the carfax doesnt include a list of services performed over the life of the car, is the final dealer inspection enough to know the truth as to the condition of the car? Basically can a mechanic determine overall condition if they dont have a service history on the car? Thanks

      The regular maintenance is kind of expensive in that an oil change is going to cost $150 and brakes are like $800. Here in the Bay Area European cars are a dime a dozen so it's easy to find mechanics that specialize in them, but if you're somewhere else it might not be so easy. I'm not worried that the vehicle is going to leave me stranded and 200k miles seems reasonable. My last car was an Audi A6 and I can say this car definitely an upgrade in terms of performance and handling.

      @@jmwarrior23 If you're in a position where you can afford the maintenance, I would say go for it. BMW beats any Japanese car hands down in terms of performance and style. The downside is that any European Luxury car is extremely expensive to maintain. The other thing is once you get used to driving a German car you get hooked. Nothing else measures up.

      Last spring (2019) I purchased my first BMW X3 - it was awesome. Two weeks ago coming home from work on the highway another car caused a four vehicle pile up. All three air bags blew, my first BMW was totaled. Needless to say, I'm sold on BMW's safety record. I have an F30 Luxury Line now. It's very comfy, well mannered, but flip it in Sport Mode and it rocks.
