Pressing and Explaining Every Single Button in a 2022 BMW X3!

Just a friendly FYI, the preset buttons have quite a bit more functionality than just remembering radio/audio stations for the driver - they can also be used to jump to almost any menu setting in the iDrive menu - by holding the numbered button of what one wants to select when they are in the menu, until it is saved. i.e. navigation directions, tire pressure settings, etc. And one can determine which setting is saved on each of the 8 presets (7 in certain models) by gently resting their finger over the button. And most functionality is also accessible via voice by pushing the microphone button on the "audio button" side of the steering wheel (on most models). You also accidentally forgot to show people how to pull the signal stalk for the brights and to push it in to keep the brights on. Also, on the BMW's that have the rear climate control, once the Auto button is pressed, the rear ventilation will come on, thus decreasing the amount of fan pressure in the driver and front passenger area, and the rear climate OFF button must be pressed in order for the maximum ventilation/fan speed to operate in the very front compartment. That's true if the SYNC button is pressed on older models as well if the rear passenger climate control is on after pressing AUTO.

Great videos, and keep up the awesome work! I used to live and work in NJ and Cherry Hill, Atlantic City for a few years, I know how difficult it is to live in that state! Good job bro! 😁😋👍🏻💪🏼✌🏻

This is by far the most useful video I have seen about BMW iX3

Just got my X3. Brooklyn gray. Gorgeous color. Rides like a dream. I’ll need to watch this video at least 10x to retain all this. I feel like I’m in a plane cockpit.

This solves the sunroof buttons for me. Couldn't figure out how to retract the visor, but didn't realize the buttons slide as well as press. Thanks! Well done video.

Super informative and helpful. Almost makes me want to buy my next car at your location in NJ as I am sure you would not let me leave the dealership without some basic understanding of all the buttons! Thanks so much!😄

If the power outlet in the trunk is not working, does it means the fuse is blown? Thank you for your answer.

Does a BMW X3 base model have parking assistance package ? Thank you

A little compartment next to handle and coat hook above window of rear seats. What is it

[d.b.cooper]

A question if you don't mind. I'm waiting for my X3 in production now and I'm wondering if it will have HUD. It has Dynamic Handling, Shadowline, M Sport Pkg ZMP, M Sport Pkg 237, and Prem Pkg. I can't find HUD listed anywhere either as an option or part of a package and my BMW Rep doesn't know. Thanks in advance for your help. PS... It's a '23
