I really liked the last two. I knew about the others, but didn't know about the holding on a hill, or the tach match gear changing. I happen to have a six speed, so this is excellent!!!
i think the car is only releasing the throttle when you depress the clutch pedal while on cruise control. Correct me if im wrong, but I highly doubt the car will rev match for you on downshifts.
They do and I have them on my car but it’s because it’s a real factory built msport car, from factory it has m badges in the interior of the car such as the steering wheel and the manual 6 speed shifter so why not put it on the grill because it is a m car
I'm starting a drinking game for every time you say "go ahead". Great videos though. I recently installed the Eonon stereo, and used your vids for reference. Thanks!
I bought my first BMW last June. It's a Jet Black 2008 328xi E90 6MT and it was a 1 owner car (a woman in her fifties if you can believe that) with 83k miles on the clock. Paid $7400 for it. Probably a little high but I have heard plenty of people getting over 200k miles on these cars without too much trouble. So far haven't had ANY issues. Did a couple small mods. Put in an M shifter and changed the pedals to the aluminum BMW racing ones and I had the car coated with OptiCoat Pro ceramic coating. The car was always garaged so the paint looks mint. Dunno what other mods I should do. Any suggestions?
Yea, the lady put almost exactly 8k miles a year on it according to the carfax. I've had it since june and only put like 3k miles on it because I work like 5 minutes from my house so I don't have a far drive. One question, I have no clue what kind of oil she put in the car but she said she did have it changed right before she sold it to me. In that situation what do you think you'd do? I mean I kind of want to go Liqui Moly or Mobile 1 but is that a bad idea if the car has had regular oil it's whole life up to this point? Thanks!
@@zureai Thanks! Yea, as fate would have it, thank god I didn't wait another year to buy a new car because Covid made the prices skyrocket on used cars! This past June makes 4 years that I've had it now. I live in the same town as my job so I don't put a lot of miles on it. It still only has 95k lol. I've only put 12k on it (3k a year) I also tinted the windows because it is black on black and it gets HOT in the summer. I haven't had any issues aside from having to change the battery and water pump. I got both of those from FCP Euro so lifetime guarantee on both. I went ahead and changed all the coolant hoses including the "mickey mouse" flange as preventative when I did the water pump. Also FCP is only like 20 minutes from my house because I live in CT. I still change the oil once a year even though I only drive 3k miles lol. I ended up using AMSOIL FS because that's just my preference that I've always ran in all my cars. Other things I did right away were changing the plugs and coils, engine air filter, cabin air filter, new fluid in both diffs, transfer case, power steering fluid/reservoir (which was weeping a little) and the transmission fluid too. BMW claims those fluids are all "lifetime fill" but I changed them all anyways. I asked ZF about the trans fluid and they said you should change it every 60-80k miles so I trust them more than BMW who wants everyone to buy a new car instead of maintaining the one you have lol. Honestly the car drives just like new still and I could probably get back what I've put into it considering the prices nowadays, but I have no interest to sell because the car has been so good to me.
I am 16 as well and I have a 330i from my mom. I love it and as long as you are able to do simple maintenance or have someone that can help it’s a great purchase. The N52 engine is extremely reliable.
Mine doesn't have a boot lid keyhole and that exact scenario happened to me - I stupidly closed the boot after disconnecting the battery whilst doing some work. Thankfully BMW provide 2 terminals in the engine bay so you can hook up an external power source, and then the electronic boot release will work.
Dear i have bmw 316i 2010-11 ... i need headlamps like your car as previously i have yellow normal daylight lamp. I need white glowing . Plzz advise me from where i have to order these
Hey what is that stereo setup? I am wanting to put a good head unit in my e92 but idk what to go with. Always liked Kenwood stuff before but idk if i wanna go with something diff or what so figured i'd ask
Hey where did you find the alacantra grill inserts? ive looked all over and only come across the vinyls. i think the clip on inserts you have look a lot better and id like to have a set for myself
I drive a UK spec facelift E91 and it doesn’t have that hill feature. Must be for the American market. Yet to try the rev matching feature but I doubt it has that either for the same reason.
The real reason for the battery to be in the trunk is the battery type. Its AGM battery and it cannot be as warm as engine bay gets. All cars have them outside the engine bay.
I'm buying a 2005 320i e90 with 70,212 miles on it two ones last owner looked after it really well regular serviced. I'm putting 2008 3351 BMW convertible 18inch rims on it. Can't wait. Can anyone recommend what else to do to it like lowering it or putting body kit on it or exhaust? Plus can anyone tell me what are the main issues to look out for in this model. I appreciate it!
Great video brother, quick question is that car on stock suspension or has it been lowered? I’m just wondering because I have one which has coil overs installed and I would like to get stock suspension again, but I don’t know how it will look.
An issue with trunk key can also be tightness, and I thought it was not going to open, or worse break the key.... but pushing down while turning helps, also remember the emergency exit pull handle you can reach from ski hole.
Where did you get your angel lights? I want to pick some up for my e90 but I've heard a lot of bad reviews as far as technical issues with the e90 aftermarket lights
hey guys, i had a question. in the boot, on the bottom left side(opposite to the area where the battery is located) theres a slot which if you open it inside it looks like a cd drive. What is that and whats its function?
What the best way to mod/customise a BMW 318D M Sport Performance Edition 2011? Any suggestions? Also what stereo system is that, bc the one I shall purchase does not have bluetooth, only CD player... who uses CD's today.
Hi bro i have a question. I saw your car's speed panel. And there is car's speed of digital format. How can i do it. (My english its sucks i know sorry about that)
Mustafa Ekentok hey bud, yes you use the Carly Bmw adapter ($45) and then you buy the Carly BMW App ($75 for Android, cheaper for iPhone) and you can do some programing yourself. Search on RUclips for Justin Buice, he did a video on it. Good luck!

My steering angle sensor light will periodically stay on which prevents cruise control or DTC from working. BTW mine is a 2007 E90. Thanks.
In the lock under the cover mat there is a pull string for emergency to open it manual. I have made a small hole and passed the iron string. So in case your trunk doesn't open you fall back the passenger' s car seats and you pull it....I don't know why they removed the key hole in the facelift version...
I have a bmw 325i 2006 . recently i had oil flow into my coolant reservoir. We changed the oil filter housing gasket because it was cracked and broken we also changed the electric water pump and sevral coolant hoses , the car runs fine and doesnt overheat it just keeps gushing the water back after a while i can run the car for about 5 minutes with a full water tank before i need to get off and put more please help guys btw there is no more oil in my water reservoir . thank you guys.

love my E90, had it for 6 years and been reliable as hell, want to upgrade but love my E90 too much
Good solid car
Too small for americans
That's so useful! I own one and I never knew about the uphill/downhill brake hold feature so I've always used a hand break. Thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
I thought I was rev-matching the car perfectly.... rip the dream

i think the car is only releasing the throttle when you depress the clutch pedal while on cruise control. Correct me if im wrong, but I highly doubt the car will rev match for you on downshifts.
Pan The Man it doesn't obviously it's only going up the gears

When you said the clutch is depressed... I felt that 😔

Bought this in 2021 and it cost 1/3rd of the latest saloons but perform at 95%. What a value 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You have an aftermarket stereo. Is there any error codes on your dashboard?
Nope! No codes from the stereo
Those fake M stripes on the grill hurt.

Good tip!
I can see now why the E46 is so popular. Great video tho. I just now know I have to get an E46. I hate computers.
Hey! so i see that your car doesnt have a navigation system on board, so how did u place that monitor there? And what is it
Check out my touchscreen install video
One thing I hate is how it doesn't have a dial for the temperature
the main reason for the battery being in the back, protects it from heat. on some BMW's they took out the key, so that hack wont work, i.e. 1 series
You can manually open the trunk from the inside. You can fold the back seat and you have a latch you can pull.

Mine must be broken; shifting while cruise is set is a fairly violent affair. The clutch disengagement/engagement is pretty rough.
This shifting shouldn't be done during acceleration. It should only be done when the car is up to speed.

no emergency pull handle? access through ski hole?
