5 Things You Didn’t Know About Your BMW 5 Series F10

Here is a list of things I have learned about BMW 550i 5 Series F10 car after owning it for over a year. I've learned that the car actually has an app that will allow you to do certain things such as remotely opening and locking the car. Flashing lights, honking the horn and locating your car are just some of the other features built in. Next I'll show you how to open the trunk with the foot, hand-free. Then we look at extra features built into the key as well as the door handle that you may not have known about. The hidden physical key built into the key fob allows you to open the car in case of issues or for safety reasons while valeting. Last, but not least, I show how to access a hidden menu that gives you access to a lot of technical information you cannot normally see.
This should work on most BMW models new than 2013-2014. I've tested these hidden features on a BMW 2015 F10 550i and BMW 2015 F15 X5 50i.

Another small feature available on F10 & F07 is that the descending right back mirror, when put the adjusting mirror button to the left, in reverse gear, the mirror will come down, then will assist you to align with the curb on the side.

Another thing that I didn't know about my F10 is that the value drops like a rock. Not my favorite feature.

[Nafis-lcty]

You have the convenience pkg option, that why you can open the trunk hands-free and push the door handle to roll the windows up. Not all 550s have that option.

My dad has bought one of these, when we go and collect it I’m going to do this 1:49
He’ll think I’m a magician 😂

Hey! Picking up my F11 535D XDrive in 2 days! One question about the app, can you turn on the heater in the car without enabling someone to drive the car?? So i can start the heater in the winter without risking someone stealing the car?

[danielpineda]

Thank you for these information. I’ve been driving my 2013 BMW 528i xdrive for 7 years and I’m not even aware of these features. Good job

[HungerandThirst]

Whoa…I just bought a 2011 550i M Sport with the Nav and convenience packages (which I assume is every option possible)…it only has 39k miles on it so I’m VERY VERY exited…thanks for this!

I didn't even knew I had an F10 ..

[ilooklikeyourmum]

Not all F10s have these features, many are dependent on engine size or optional extras over the standard---(I own an F10). but nice video well presented

[dudnation]

What are the last five digits to car what does that mean to unlock features? Thank you very good video man

[ayoubberkat]

Hi guys,
Thank you for this video I have learned a lots of things from it as I'm new owner for a bmw 5 series. I just bought I used car and after a few days I found out that my car has an issue which is when I hit a 60 miles per hour and over the car Start to have a vibration and shaking, I feel whole my body shaking. I don't know nothing about mechanic so guys I appreciate your advice. Thank you

[lsatq]

didn't realize you can lock the trunk in the locked center console.

[AdamPanek]

Good start, I got my F10 (Diesel) Oct 2018, you may also want to show head rests moving up and down, the buttons on the radio have sensors that if you put your finger over it, will tell you what its programmed to.

[crazyice]

Nice video, to add on to the info, you can also close all windows by holding the lock button on the key fob (BMW logo)

[Everything_cars_]

Do you have a link for that app. As I can’t find it

[brandontownsend]

Very nice. Didnt have any idea about the Secret Menu!

[meditationandrelaxation]

I hit the like button before you even told me too. Getting the exact same 5 series nxt week. Can’t wait 😊

[beigefox]

Which country is this from? in the US our F10 5 series doesnt have the climate option on the phone app. Also I never knew you could tap on the alarm button to show the lights. I'm going to start doing this even during the day time 😀

[JournyOfaPeacefulRuller]

None of the exterior features are standard, they're all optional and extra. But majority of the BMW vehicle's could be coded to activate most of the features, except for the kick to open the trunk, for this the vehicle needs an actual sensor, and powered tailgate option.
