Great Video Ed! There’s a LOT of great info here. I’m now on my 6th BMW ( my first X5). After seeing all this new (to me) info, Im just as in awe as I was 30 years ago when I got my ‘77 320i. Thank you and keep it up!
Thanks Ed, as always your videos are informative and very useful. I think I knew 4 or 5 of the items you covered but that means I learned 5 or 6 things today.
Thanks again!
Nice! I’m glad you were able to learn a few things!
Very helpful Ed, thanks man!
Great video Ed ! I am over the pond here in the UK, I have a F15 X5 40d MSport & your videos are very interesting & helpful 👍🏼
Very useful information. Thanks.
Thank you so much for such a helpful video!
Thanks Ed! Love your videos.
Very informative! Thank you! Really liked your comments at the end - we are ALL on a learning path. Thanks!
Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful!
OMG…. New to the Bimmer World, but danggggh u give out so much information. Love it brother keep it up. I’m heading out to the truck now to try the folding mirror code
Thanks Ed. You are right not everyone knows this stuff. I have owned BMW's since the '80's and just picked up my new X5 and I learned at least 4 things about the X5.
I’m glad to hear you still learned a few things!
great vid as usual, learn how to set up the profile today, thanks
Good Job, Thanks!
Ty Eddie! Love these videos!
Thank you for watching!
Great info on the f85 I love this car.
Great vid 👍
very useful cheers bud
I'm looking to get an f85 by September so I'm loving these video's.. I'm not even going to need to read the manual lol.
Ty Eddie Love these videos!1
Thank you for watching!
Cheers Ed. My wife and I recently took delivery of a ‘15 X5 and your vids are great for getting some quick tips and tricks 😁✌🏼
Congratulations!
APRIL 6TH MY BIRTHDAY!!! GOOD STUFF ED
Thanks man!
Thanks brother
Thank you !
Thank you Eddie
Jus bought an X5, so thank you for this video! New to BMW and it was very helpful!
Congrats on your purchase! Enjoy it! I miss my X5!
@@eddiemcarswhy did u get rid of your X5?
This so amazing,I didn't know
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!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped!
Great video
Thank you!
I just bought a 2015 X5 50i, thanks for all your videos.
Very very useful learning for me, new bimmie here, catching up on all the videos. How do you add colors to the f15 interior scheme, aside from the stock?
Glad it helped! You can add the colors through BimmerCode!
New to BMW… actually hoping to get one next car purchase. Love your videos.
Thank you
Cool video 👍 find out all the secrets
Thanks bro. I learned a lot. Question do you know if there is a way to have the car remember that it was on M1 or M2 mode after restarting the car? I thought Bimmercode could do it, but it doesn’t work for my F85. Thanks in advance!
The tailgate thing is cool.
awesome 😜
Hi Ed. Did you now you can change the interface of the navigation to the new interface. I have done it to my bmw f15. You can do it with the bimmercode and its 100x better.
I didn't know that! You said it's through BimmerCode?
Hey Ed where did you get that carbon fiber key cover? I like it cause its not glossy... all I can find is the glossy ones
I bought it on Amazon, I can’t the original seller but here’s one very similar. www.amazon.com/dp/B07X7P4W1L/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_glt_fabc_MRJA4S9WX07K7FVB00XB?linkCode=ml2&tag=90609-20
Hey eddie, did you knew that you can downshift by tapping the gas pedal quickly while in automatic?It can help at accelerating while driving at constant speed.
I usually press down to the floor activating the “kickdown” button. 😁
Hey, I have 2015 X5. Do you know if I can use CarPlay on the display? Thanks
You would need to upgrade the hardware to ID6 to have CarPlay functionality.
Have you demonstrated the remote window(s) opening via the key fob?
I did on a separate video.
Soon i buy X5m, but what a amount of hidden and helpful features, also whit OBD...... thanks to sheer.....
Hi Edward would you do a video changing the m1 and m2 buttons on the stearing wheel to a different colour. That would be great
That may be something I would do later down the road.
Hi Eddie. When i turn on my car the ac always comes on. Would you know how to disable that feature? It may be saved to the key fob from the previous owner
The last time I c u r video u r wife was upset 🥴..😅 all good ..anyway love watching u r video bro..u show me alot THANK YOU
how do you like the instant water heater for your home?
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.
Ed you should replace your side mirror covers with carbon fiber or black ones! That would totally set your ride off with those black rims
Haha! I would need a black grill and black side blades to match. 😂
Then the journey begins!
Whaddup Ed!!! Funny side note first there a guy who has a channel on the 4.5 Infiniti motors his name is ed too!!! Question...what about running in sport plus mode on really hot days. I'm in the south and Georgia summers and half of spring are brutal, plus our humidity is off the heezy!!!
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.
@@eddiemcars Not at the moment. I'm in a 05 FX45. Closet thing to my bimmer wagon I use to have. Thinking about FX50 too but not enough power. The F85 checks off all of my boxes power and practicality. Other option is Jeep SRT. Jeep is for dragster and bimmer is for drivers lol. Thanks for the good info you putting out!!!
Nice! I had an obsidian 06 FX35 AWD with Sport Package a few years ago! I wish I had went with the V8 back then! I desperately wanted to upgrade to the FX50 because of the larger brakes and the newer style! The SRT is good but the F85 will certain get your speed and handling fix all in one!
What year is yours ? My X5 is an early 2016 (40e) and I don't know how to get that nice clock and weather on the right of the screen like yours does.
Mine is a 2016.
On the main screen. Press option
Check box split screen.
The you should click the controller to the right. Option should say split screen content? Then you can load time/weather. However my 2016 is no longer supported for weather or time since AT&T tuned off l3g cell towers
@@eddiemcars Thanks, I have split screen enabled but no options for clock and weather. Yours must be a later 2016 (after May or June). Mine is January 16. Thankfully 3G still works for me, so I can still use the My BMW app on my phone.
What hitch did you have installed on the x5M. What was the cost… is installing difficult?
Stealth Hitch! Installing wasn’t difficult. I would set aside a few hours to it… Removing the bumper and 4 bolts to replace the crash beam with the hitch wasn’t too bad. It cost $1200 USD
@@eddiemcars thanks for the info
Dont forget about remote all windows down option ( 2018 X5 i35 owner ) Otherwise good video!
Thanks! There's so much in these cars. I can't recall if I covered it in a different video or not
Do you gave videos about the more cheaper X5s? I'm thinking of buying one for my first car, from 2002 to 2007/8 the cost from 4000 to 8000€ but I don't know anything about them
Like
The E53 or E70?? Unfortunately no. Not that’s there’s anything wrong then but I’ve never owned one. I used to want a 4.4is for the longest time!
If it’s your first car I would suggest the newest you can afford. Try to get a 2008 xDrive35i for reliability.
@@eddiemcars thank you for the reply. Yes I just saw the car and the closest that it's for sell now it's the 4.8i but that car is too powerful 350 hp for me and the tax is too much. I prefer buying 218hp and maybe tune it to 280hp and still pay for 218 hp I watched that the 3.0D X drive was the best engine
Hi Edward, you can also unlock the car from your phone if your key fob is not working
Yes, if you have connected services and use the BMW app. Unfortunately, 2014-2016 models will no longer be supported starting in 2021. 😞
Eddie, can you setup a guest or spouse/child driver profile that doesn't allow the driver to use M mode?
Unfortunately not. Each profile will get full access to the M modes and all available horsepower.
@@eddiemcars Thx. Too bad. That really should be an option.
Why is it on your phone?? Doesn’t this all show up on the screen on the dash??
What horse power does the M have.
I just purchased a 2014 i50 X-Drive This thing really is a Rocket ship!!!
I purchased it for my girl friend so she can feel more comfortable driving over the sierra’s headed to Reno. We go there several times a year. She goes there more often than I do. Her daughter and granddaughters live in Reno.
what year x5m?
2016
BMW been always RECOMENDING 89 or 91 !!
True! But most people assume its 91 is the min on some models.
What about 93 octane
You can run 93 octane. It’s preferred for most BMW M models with 91 being the bare minimum
On some, 91 octane is preferred but 89 is the absolute minimum.
87 do they actually sell that 😳
Miiii? Premium 91? Minimum a 98- as, de inkább 100- as
Why would you lock the car when towing it. Thats dumb as hell
When I park at the hotel, nobody can break in. Makes sense to me? Just like like locking your car in a parking lot.
Long winded, get to the point…
I started explaining within 2 min of the video.
I guess you could fast forward or move to the TikTok platform where there’s 3 min videos of useless information. 🤣
