    You did a FANTASTIC job explaining these features!! I own the X5, which is my 4th BMW. And I didn't know the features you spoke about. It could be because I'm a female who focuses on knowing the general features, so you are correct that not everyone knows the extra hidden functions. Although, enthusiasts would!! My husband learned a lot as well, so GREAT job explaining the info. From southern U.S.A!

    how do you like the instant water heater for your home?

    • @eddiemcars
      @eddiemcars  3 года назад +1

      I like it. It takes a little longer than a conventional tank style water heater because it’s heat on demand. However, it’s continuous, so once it’s going there’s never a worry about hot water depleting.
      My favorite feature is It also has a recirculating button in our master bedroom, that once active., You’ll have hot water in about 2 minutes.

    • @eddiemcars
      @eddiemcars  2 года назад +1

      Hey Zoe, do you have an M? You can run Sport + but the BMW does a pretty good job at keeping temps low normally.
      I did notice my previous 50i would get hot in traffic and Sport + didn’t help it since it didn’t have the additional cooling.
