What’s up, S.C.G.! Is there a danger in completely removing the battery on my e89 in order to replace it with a new one? My battery is in bad shape and it needs replacing. Do I need to keep voltage running through the system? Is there a danger of the modules loosing their programming? Thanks man!
People argue about this all the time, but I’ve never had any issues and it’s part of BMW’s steps for most jobs involving electronics. No issues with programming at all. Just make sure the car is Off when you unplug it.
Hey dude, I love your channel! And have subscribed! I just picked up a Z4 2011, manual. I got a good deal with only 18,208 miles! Do you advice changing the battery? It’s been sitting and the mechanic, whom I don’t know, is telling me that a dying, weak battery may be causing codes to pop up!
Welcome to the channel! Check out my Z4 videos, there should be plenty for you to watch :). Your car sounds awesome and practically brand new with such low miles. I wouldn't change the battery until you start seeing signs that it's weak. If you get a battery warning when you turn the car on or play music on the radio with car off for 5 minutes, it's time. Otherwise, it till has plenty of juice.
@@SimpleCarGuy Thanks dude. Yes. I’m really happy. It’s such a good looking car. I do get a battery alert when the ignition is on the On position. I’m getting the battery this weekend from the dealer. Thanks for all your videos! I watch your videos daily!
Hi , I bought a BMW 2009 35i because of your videos! One thing I'm trying to do - the remote control will open the hard top like you demonstrated in a previous video, but it won't close it. My logic is that if it can open it, the functionality must be there to close it, but I don't know how to enable it. Any suggestions welcome! Louis in France
That's great to hear! Make me happy that I've encouraged someone to get an awesome car! Does your car have comfort access? Check the door handle for little 'ridges', if it has those, you have comfort access (and you can start the car without inserting the key).
@@SimpleCarGuy no, I don't have comfort access, but I'm happy enough, a clean car with 45000kms... Here she is: ruclips.net/video/7YWN1hkrkZM/видео.html
I like it. Most of the interior looks over 10 years old as the car was designed before 2009. My other car has a digit cluster, so it’s nice to have a bit of a difference.

Is there a way to adjust the speedometer? From the factory my 2014 Z4 reads too high.
Not that I know of!

Louis O'Dwyer if you stick the key into the driver door lock, the sunroof will close.you have to keep it in the locked position .
@@browneyes2674 Wow, that works! Many thanks!
@@browneyes2674 that's an awesome little trick! if you have comfort access, you can just keep your finger on the ridges and it will do the same :)
Hi do you know how we can change de transport mode? My bottoms de-icing and A/C doesn't work following battery changes thanks for you help
I think you’ll need a bmw specific scanner for that. I haven’t seen this option in the menu, but you probably want to do more research.
Isn’t there any aftermarket cluster, the cluster looks quite old.

Please give the list of codes
Thanks for the reminder, added to the description
hey man mine didn't work I add the last 4 digits of my vin to unlock nothing happen still lock. am I missing a step?
Hey! It’s the last 5 digits of your VIN added together.
Hi, Can I change the speedometer into miles/hr instead of KM/h?
You can’t change the Speedo to km/h through this unfortunately. That has to be coded.
