The start stop push button 1 for auxiliary power and push twice for off is something i love, sometimes i sit in the car and wait so its great to be able to kill the engine but still have full power.

If you get the apps, Bimmer code and Bimmer Link you can control TONS of options for the car with your phone, don't like the auto stop start? Turn it off permanently. Its crazy how much more you can control with the apps. Need a new battery? You can program it yourself with a touch of a button, every light, warnings off or on, the folding mirrors to the transmission, how much and how long the headlight spray jets come on how bright the lights are, how hot each setting on the seats, literally hundreds of things you wouldn't even think of or know you can set and change turn on or off, they are MUST haves if you own a BMW.

Hi Kelly, thanks for uploading the video! Proud owner of a 2013 535i xDrive here in Korea. I also passionately dislike start/stop, so I asked the BMW service centre to switch it off permanently (I think they had to reprogramme the cpu and took several hours) - totally worth it! Might come in handy for you in the future!

Love The review I recently just bought one at 60,000 miles and it is in immaculate condition a few dings and I honestly love it thank you so much for the review

I have a 2012 528i xdrive. And I love it. It's been pretty good and it's in great shape. Some minor things here and there. But nothing major or noticeable cosmetically or mechanically. Great video!

Just FYI, both of your pet peeves can be coded out with BimmerCode. It’s a $20 software and you just plug it in and turn stuff on/off. In my m4, I have coded the auto start stop to default into off when starting the car, and I coded the start/stop button only take 1 push to turn the car and accessories off. Worth doing!

One thing I love about the BMW everything's from the interior feels like it's button down realy tight good heavy built real quality no fake plastics parts that rattle during the ride

The only People who should own used BMWs are people who really understand these cars. I have the same car as you and I love it but yes you got to pay to play when having a used BMW but if you learn how to do your own maintenance that can save you lots of money.

Nice job with your review Kelly. I like that you pointed out both the good & bad honestly. Our family considered a BMW too but went with an Infiniti Q50 instead, we love the twin turbo setup. I also figured the Infiniti would be slightly less to maintain compared to a BMW. 5k subscribers All Terrain Nation! 👍🏽

Hey Kelly, I used to turn wrenches for a local race team, we ran an Alpina 3 series…they don’t make them like that any more! 🤟

Owned a 1989 535i when I lived in Germany. Was one of my favorite cars to drive.

Looking for a 2016 BMW 535i XDrive and your video popped up. Thank you for the review it was very informative and you're a great reviewer!

Kelly! You are getting so good at this! Keep going!!!

Thank you for your honesty 🙏🏾

I just bought a 2013 535xi N55 and days into had to have a thermostat and pump. Still overheating. I'm afraid to drive it because I hear if it stalls a tow truck can't pull it. Have to get under it to put it in neutral. Pray for me

Looking at a 2012 BMW 535I XDRIVE with 112,000 miles for $10k! Would it be a win or lose? I have never owned a BMW before! Seeking advice and help with knowledge! Thank you in advance🙏

Nice video

Great video. Thank you

Awesome show 👏..

Oh good I've been wondering how the experience has been.

Love the color of the seats

Lady reviewer. Yay! Subscribed! Please I'd like to see more of this

I can't wait for the M5 on the channel :)

Great episode

KELLY very well spoken, interesting and informative. Excellent video

Thank you for making a great video, I came across it because I am looking in buying a 2012 535i xdrive. It has 53k miles on it and only has 1 owner who has taken great care of the the car. Currently I am driving a 2015 Nissan Altima with 140,000 miles on. Simply asking if you think the BMW would be a good upgrade to make at this point.

My 2009 lexus is250 had push to start and leather with air conditioning in the seats as well as heated seats

What kind of MPG are you getting? Great video BTW.

About to buy one drive it for a few months idk gap my best friend maybe then sell it 😁

Awesome review thank you. I’m getting a 2012 m sport 550i x drive. Can the Bluetooth link iPhone to play your music from the phone.

HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE CAR?

Thinking about buying 2012 528i - decent price I just have to check the car fax and see what was replaced or not - thoughts ? Please all thoughts are welcome

How has the ownership been? I am planning to buy the same 2012 535i X Drive.. just scared about maintenance costs

Beautiful car

I see one in my area with 85k miles for under $16. That is as cheap or cheaper then a Camry from around that age. My concern is every mechanic I have watched videos on say not too, because of mechanical problems. Have you had many?

I see a 2012 535i for 18k out the door with 42k miles, what are your thoughts guys

for the love of god, it has automatic air conditioning, why would you even touch those button that much that they would wear out. Set the C, press Auto and enjoy perfect even temperature all the time

Im about to buy one of this bmw with 189,000 kms, thats a W or L ?

I wouldn’t buy a bmw if I wasn’t a mechanic personally

💯

First

Love my car…and there’s so much more you can do with ICARLY
