BMW DIY Guy after i changed my turbo i keep seeing “top up coolant” message that wont go away though i topped the coolant. Cant wait to try this tutorial
Great video Brian! Keep the “Hidden Features” coming! I noticed you’ve updated to newer iDrive software despite having a non-LCI F30. Show us how to update our software for the latest iDrive available! Stay safe g!
Just an FYI to anyone wondering, to activate Launch Control, you must have the Sport Transmission package which is the only way you can get Sport +. Some ways to tell if you have it are if your gauges have red accents inside them and if the base of your shifter is leather. It also includes paddle shifters (M Sport cars do not always have them btw as the inclusion of paddles is strictly based off of the transmission option and not the trim level). I hope this helps!
if you don't have the Sport trans pack, you can get it to work after coding it (for example with bimmercode), pretty easy and the trans feels much crisper in every mode
Bleeding the coolant system for F30 with a B58 is different due to having a mechanical water pump. 1. Seat belt on 2. Ignition on engine off 3. Set hvac temp to max and blower to lowest speed 4. Hold down accelerator pedal for 15 secs 5. Start engine, engine should automatically idle at 1200 rpm 6. When idle drops hold revs to 3500rpm for 15 secs 7. Idle for 30 secs 8. Repeat holding revs to 3500rpm for 15 secs then idle for 30 secs four more times (Total 5 including steps 6 & 7) 9. Let idle for another 10 mins then let engine cool and recheck coolant level
One hidden feature that I discovered was how to make the headlight washers pop up and spray clean the headlights. You just have to pull and hold the left turn signal stalk toward you and hold for a long time (like at least 6-8 seconds) and they’ll pop up and do their thing.
Another great video. I really appreciate you helping the rest of us unlock cool features and get the most out of our cars. If you shop was only in Jacksonville it would be perfect. Thanks again. I will support through the online store for now.
Great video! I've done a lot of the coding but one I recently found was turning off your license plate lights when in reverse! Camera adjusts so much better in the dark and is a huge benefit to those with Alpine White paint!
Great vid. I didn’t even know the f30 was ever available with a digital dash. Also, after owning my 330d for over a year, did I discover that the screen was touch enabled 😂.
@@MauricioBarragan this is the answer to my question of sport plus mode with DCS fully off. No, you wont be faster as the TC system actually aids in cornering but yes full send drift mode has been unlocked. 2015 228xi Sport
I have just changed Transmission fluid on my F30, after 130000km's. The car drives 100% smooth. No jolt at any gear change, at any speed. Drives like a Tesla!
Owned my f30 for about 9 months now, ran my fingers over the radio buttons a hundred times noticing they clearly so something lol. Never took the time to see how it's programmed or actually how useful they could be, now I know. Always found sport displays annoying to access....... Not for much longer lol
Hi there Brian, I am from Recife in Brazil South America, and we really like appreciate all your videos, that you’ve been posting since the beginning of your channel, great initiative and I really appreciate it, because not everybody is open to as being able to tell the truth about parts and even how to put them together, and you have no problems with that, you teach us a lot, all and your channel is an open book great great channel, I hope you stay that way for a long long time, kudos to you man, and when this is done and all, come and visit Brazil one day...🤙🏻
I’m pretty sure you can go into dyno mode with out doing all that in the cluster. Go into sport+ mode while car is running and hold traction control off and then it will say DSC OFF
God that self bleeding cooling system is a must on every car. I can't tell you how many times I've gone through the long process of attempting to bleed a car. Only for it to overheat and some air bubble is trapped somewhere
Men your videos are amazing thanks to you I have been able to do so many things to my 2012 bmw 328i f30 I seen other channels but your tutorials are the best 👌
Could you please advise how to get the digital speedometer on F30? I had it before but since my last service it disappeared as BMW reset all settings and now they tell me they cant get it back but I think they are talking bs. If you know how I can it back pls help. Thanks
Hi Thanks For The Great Vid....If I Reset The Brake Fluid Monitor On The Dash....And I Do The Change On My Own Will BMW Dealer Pick It Up That I Did It Myself?Or Will It Show Done On Their BMW System?Thanks.
Another thing I noticed in my car after 1 year of being bought whenever your in the GPS system the spinning thing where you scroll the middle you can move your finger around to form letters to type in GPS mode instead of scrolling letter by letter
The bleeding the coolant trick is identical to the process I had to go through in my E90 when I replaced the radiator... it's interesting that you included it here in the video though since it's basically a maintenance task!
You can also play videos from your phone if it's connected to the USB port. Only did that once, when I was buying the car, and I guess it starts with the oldest video. Soo, be careful with that, especially if it's something private that you and your wife wouldn't want a car salesman to see.
Me: pfft, you can’t teach me anything new.
Brian: GUYS! THERE’S DYNO MODE!
Me: 😮
My thoughts exactly! Also I learned about the coolant thing today
Yeah
The coolant bleed advice timing couldn't be better.. thank you!!
BMW DIY Guy after i changed my turbo i keep seeing “top up coolant” message that wont go away though i topped the coolant. Cant wait to try this tutorial
So do you have to hold the pedal down for the full 12 minutes or you just have to initiate it and 12 minutes later it's done?
@@Specter1031 just to initiate
The shortcut pre-sets 18 are a god send. I've spent so much time navigating from one thing to another, this has made things so much easier. Thanks
Great video Brian! Keep the “Hidden Features” coming! I noticed you’ve updated to newer iDrive software despite having a non-LCI F30. Show us how to update our software for the latest iDrive available! Stay safe g!
Just took delivery of my F30 today, thanks for this!

@@jeroentorfs113 Are you talking about xhp or did you really mean bimmercode? I’ve never seen someone flash their transmission with bimmercode.
@@kylesmith9048 I coded mine with bimmercode
If you have the dct Transmission your car automatically comes with paddles and launch control.

Hooray! I have the LCI for 3 years now and I didn't know about any of these. You made my day with menu shortcuts. THANKS
This BM has everything... I'm inlove with it

I just got my first bmw and I’ve been watching videos on it and this one was the most helpful one!👌🏼👌🏼
I’ve owned my F15 for almost 3 years and learned some valuable tips. Awesome!!!!
Dyno mode!!!! 🤯🤯
Yeaaa buddy!
Interested to learn about 02 sensors spacers for open downpipe set ups
Yepp

Hands down, you guys have the BEST channel for BMW's !! After I watched the BootMod video, I was an instant subscriber!
youl could do a test run of the dyno mode on and off - on a real dyno!
Great video! I've done a lot of the coding but one I recently found was turning off your license plate lights when in reverse! Camera adjusts so much better in the dark and is a huge benefit to those with Alpine White paint!
Please inform us mister :) (or link)
Cool thanks for posting. Love the f30 content!!
We want more videos on that cheap f30!
Great vid. I didn’t even know the f30 was ever available with a digital dash. Also, after owning my 330d for over a year, did I discover that the screen was touch enabled 😂.
Kies out here saving lives 🙌
Awesome work keep it up 👍🏻
Love it man. Absolutely love it. Keep posting hidden features bro
Great vids and G'day from Australia
Excellent video, one of the most useful vids I've seen for my vehicle.
So you’re telling me dyno mode is basically the most extreme drift mode 😂
I meeeeeaaaannn facts? 😂

It’s hidden if you’re new to BMW ! But there is a lot more if you’re true BMW fan ! You just got the basics!!!!!!
Thank you very much for making this video.
Love the Powerthirst reference!
If your car is off you also have parking lights that can be activated for driver or passenger side by holding down the turn signal stalk
Really useful, thanks. Defo going to put 'get me home' onto one of the radio buttons
Hidden Feature: you can use a usb drive and put an mp4 video on it to play on your media screen instead of using dvd.
Thanks!!!
Dope!! Thanks 😃
Have you guys ever done a transmission fluid change, transfer case, or diff frt/rr oil changes?
I have just changed Transmission fluid on my F30, after 130000km's. The car drives 100% smooth. No jolt at any gear change, at any speed. Drives like a Tesla!
Just did this on my manual f82 pretty straight forward just typical bmw covering everything with covers lol
Also wondering? At 96k
Once again, you the man Bryan! Great tips, thanks! 😁👍👍
Owned my f30 for about 9 months now, ran my fingers over the radio buttons a hundred times noticing they clearly so something lol. Never took the time to see how it's programmed or actually how useful they could be, now I know. Always found sport displays annoying to access....... Not for much longer lol
ha, now you know!
Good work bro, love the content!!!
That blue BMW is Super hot. Congrats man
Thanks Bryan, love these vids, keep up the great work. 435I coming soon.
This guy is cool, always good videos with nice music and editing.
Awesome videos ! Cheers from France
These are all so helpful and to the point, thanks again
Whoa LAUNCH CONTROL.. the front end came WAY UP?!?! Thanks!
Hi Kies, with the suspension mods on your F30, does it now drive like your F80? or is the F80 miles apart? Thanks!
Fantastic video, thank you!
As a bmw genius I should make a vid like this! Excellent work
Great Video!
Cool. Make more of these hidden features video.

Congrats on 100k you beat me I’m still trying to get there.
OMG MAN!! that steering wheel😱
Brian, make another one! This is awesome
love the video's , i could watch them all night XD
More coming :)
I had a E36 and it was way different to coolant bleed the car. I have now a F33 and this helps alot when needed! Thanks!
Great subject matter! Keep them coming!
Fantastic content! Keep up the great work!
Can you show us how to do an engine coolant replacement?? So bleed whole system and re-fill with new coolant.
Cool! Had this car for years and didn't know anything about these features.
I had no idea about the coolant. I recently added some, but didn't do this... always do your research!
Great video.... can I ask what type of magnetic phone holder you have? ?
Hey Bryan
I have the same digital display, are there any features that we can code for it?
How much for the display??
How did you upgrade your I drive, Isn't your F30 pre-lci?
Yep, we sell the kits: ruclips.net/video/Xla9mtiA188/видео.html
Thanks Bryan. Does this also apply tot the f36?
I’m pretty sure you can go into dyno mode with out doing all that in the cluster. Go into sport+ mode while car is running and hold traction control off and then it will say DSC OFF
God that self bleeding cooling system is a must on every car. I can't tell you how many times I've gone through the long process of attempting to bleed a car. Only for it to overheat and some air bubble is trapped somewhere
Super video.cant wait to try them out.
That was cool. Thx
Nice work Brian, thanks. I hope all that stuff works on my F10 LCI - still learning!
The more the better ofc we’d love more of this
I don't even own a BMW yet but I subscribed
Cool video thanks!
What screen upgrade do you have?? I want one!!
How did you get the updated bmw idrive in that old car?
Matt Coppola www.kiesmotorsports.com/products/bimmertech-nbt-evo?_pos=99&_sid=87723115b&_ss=r&variant=15468557172851
A lot of money not worth it lol
Matt Coppola you do a little dance 💃
How do you have the new I drive for the f30? I have a 2014 f10 535i and I’d like the new idrive , is that possible ?
bimmertech have the system that you can retrofit, normally fitted under the back seats

WOW IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!!!
Very good tips
Could you please advise how to get the digital speedometer on F30? I had it before but since my last service it disappeared as BMW reset all settings and now they tell me they cant get it back but I think they are talking bs. If you know how I can it back pls help. Thanks

Great video! Thanks!
Hi Thanks For The Great Vid....If I Reset The Brake Fluid Monitor On The Dash....And I Do The Change On My Own Will BMW Dealer Pick It Up That I Did It Myself?Or Will It Show Done On Their BMW System?Thanks.
Where did you get that nice flat bottom steering wheel from ?
awesome video!
I learned 2 new features. Thanks 👍🏻
Another thing I noticed in my car after 1 year of being bought whenever your in the GPS system the spinning thing where you scroll the middle you can move your finger around to form letters to type in GPS mode instead of scrolling letter by letter
Sooo can we use roller mode to do a little smokey circle?🧐
Hey Brian.
quick question, what year is your F30?
Are theses features works also on 330e plug in hybrid?
nice vid, but you forgot about the extremely random hidden 12v under the glove box!. also digging the interior blue accents.
please make more of these.
that radio button hack is sick, thanks! adding it to my f82zcp letsgooo
iDami4n (it’s not a hack, it’s in the manual.)
Love the start stop button - can’t get that colour in the UK

4:52 that's freakin cool. Really excited to use this once I pickup my F30. Gonna set my home address in there and feel so cool😅
Hey does this stuff work on my 2014 328d(diesel) XDrive F30?
Thanks in advance!
