same. people tend to forget about the transmission and diff. when your car is in neutral or park, the engine warms up but the trans and diff dont, flooring it could ruin the teeth in the tranny and diff

I do the same exact thing in mine! Let the start up sequence run and less then 3k changes until the oil temp gets too 90-100 then - Its FUN TIME :D

N55's are super reliable i havent done anything to mine except gaskets

N54?

N55

Lies

@@KelsS1k please tell me why that's a lie ?

@@KelsS1k a skillful mechanic can tell when something is going to fail and also give u tips on preventetive maintainance so you face any major issues

Service earlier :) e.g. E92 or e60 M cars often fail because of their OEM oil and the gaps in between the services

@@fatiha.2545 true true. Yes it cost more but it's worth it because having your engine ruined and time wasted is not worth the trouble

I know it's crazy, but I was reading the owners manual yesterday and it said to start driving immediately with moderate throttle...why do they suggest that? Because of the long time it takes these engines to warm up? 🤷‍♂️

@@markburkey6371 from my understanding it’s because of the low oil pressure at idle, especially when dealing with cold and less viscous oil there’s increased risk for metal on metal contact. The other reason I know is because when a car sits while getting up to temp, only the engine is heating. Since Metals expand when heated, over time it may cause things to misalign or increase wear. They recommend not waiting too long to start driving so that all the different systems warm up evenly (engine, trans fluid, diff oil, axle grease, etc.)

Appreciate you watching! 👊🏼

Where do you live?

@@djesbaa In Melbourne, Australia. The “Nanny State “as it is sometimes referred to.

I usually wait until at least 230*F to even go above 3k rpms

I have an n55 so the ideal stock temps is 230-250

I'm personally not sold on the downpipe argument just due to pressure balances the stock downpipes are 1-2psi backpressure which is very little but based on the design I believe it helps the seals last longer by exerting less pressure on them

Consistency!

@@VehicleVirals so I guess if I didn’t drive it very much say only to car shows or on the weekend maybe every couple years it would need to be done thanks for the info. I do like the sound of the N54 and would like a 335i but just trying to get an idea how often things would need to be done and how much things would cost because it definitely wouldn’t stay stock

@@riseupstudios12 if you think a walnut blast is expensive…. You are not ready to own one of these machines

@@gasgod7404 probably right that’s mostly likely why I haven’t bought one because I’m not financially in a spot to afford the maintenance on one but some day maybe just have to keep working toward the goal

@@riseupstudios12 keep saving brother and when you know you can maintain it and find one for a good deal pull the trigger and I guarantee you it will bring you joy beyond belief. I was not trying to bash you or be hurtful but the cars are not cheap to maintain i just had to spend $6000+ on maintenance on mine

Not for a conservative tune. On MHD they only recommend FMIC on stage 2+

@@VehicleVirals What about the downpipe? I did the turbo charge pipe and Burger air intake filter

@@steveb9525 If you're going to do lots of WOT runs or track it etc and suffer heat soak, do the FMIC. But like the FMIC, you don't need to do the downpipes unless you want to really trick it out to stage 2 MHD. If you just want to show off occasionally, you don't need either :)

@@VehicleVirals Thankyou only just seen this, appreciate it!

The B58 is a new engine. I would say yes with the catch can, quality fuel, properly warming up & the catless downpipe stuff. It's similar to n54/n55 in that it's still a turbocharged inline 6 made by BMW, so treat it the same, but the chargepipe problem is specific to n54. Look up a B58 reliability video to find the B58's specific problems.

@@holasoyalejandro9822 whoops, i thought you typed b58

👀👀

Yes, but you dont necessarily need to do a "walnut blast", head over to Vehicular DIY and check how to clean the intake valves without doing a walnut blast, after cleaning your valves i highly recommend you immediately install an oil catch can so carbon deposits dont build up on the valves again.

@@tonka10r99 I did this - be prepared to spend a lot of time and a lot of lower back pain, for a middling result. If you've got a lot more time than money, it'll work. Maybe mine was too far gone to do "manually", I wish I'd just done the walnut blast.

@@gfkBill yeah, i had the same experience following VDIY's method....barely anything came off. Also wish i'd just done a walnut blast.

Doesn't Circle K use RON instead of Octane? RON and Octane is not the same, 95 RON is like 91 octane, which is pretty crap tbh.

Legendary RON is a way to rate octane and yes 95 RON is 91 PON, which is “good enough” for stock Volvos, but I will switch to 98 RON (93 PON) when i tune the P24.

Leaving aside comparing boring slow-ass Volvo sedans to a sports car, first result I got for Googling the V50 was "The V50 has been recalled numerous times, most noticeably for potential leaks in the fuel pipes and power steering pipes, faulty handbrakes and faulty cooling fans."

@@gfkBill good thing then that I'm almost a Volvo Mechanic (spent 2 year working as a Volvo Mechanic trainee). The S60 isn't the fastest (200Hk/285Nm from factory), but i enjoy it (sorry if your 12 year old mind isn't able to comprehend the idea that some own car for their own amusement instead of trying to please others), there is nothing like a 5 cylinder. The V50 is a surprisingly pleasant daily driver, extremely fuel efficient (i have average 56MPG US or 4.2 liters per 100Km).

@@klaspeppar5619 Ha ha, easy tiger. This 12 year old is 52 :D Sorry if I came off too harshly. No need to tell N54 owners about owning cars for their own pleasure, it's the only reason we drive a BMW. I agree with the Mechanic sentiment though, I'd not own one if I couldn't do my own work on it either. And dead jealous of that fuel economy - main reason I'm getting rid of my 335i :'( Merry Christmas, enjoy your daily driver! I do like some of the recent Volvos.

You made the wrong choice, N55's are actually more reliable from the factory than say a N54

@@tonka10r99 yes they are but they still have issues i can name a whole list of things i also followed a n55 page on facebook and they are always running in to issues 1 valve cover gasket leak, oil filter housing gasket, electric water pump will go bad, oil pan gasket as well, they will also suffer from misfire, coolant lines that run to the expansion tank are known for exploding, they also need to be walnut blasted because they get bad carbon build up on the valves . The list goes on for the problems im good i made the best choice in my opinión i dont like headaches and my supercharged si maked 364 whp zero issues stock engine and i raced the world in that car its crazy how you can push more than a 335i in a civic and be way more reliable then one too . Now the b58 is a motor i heard was a major improvement in power and reliability

@@ANTHONYNI33 Well, cant really argue with that. I'm an automotive tech so replacing gaskets and water pumps etc. is just normal to me, for any car really. But i get it, not everyone is mechanically inclined. Also there are a ton of service videos on YT regarding N54's and N55's, some of the stuff you read on certain pages is just blown out of proportions. I feel you with the Honda engine, that's why i also keep an eye on the Coyote Mustangs, those engines are pretty much bulletproof in terms of power and reliability too.

@@tonka10r99 yes American company’s makes good v8 engines i might look into an a camaro ss or a 5.0 cayote. But i work on my own cars bro but im not gonna consistently be replacing on my beamer especially now that i have less time to my self thats why i rather just deal with the fwd lol and no water pumps are not a common thing to replace at all on honda especially a k series its rare if they go bad and oil pan gasket those things almost never leak its silicone based on hondas i replaced the water pump on my 18 year old accord in may and it was still working properly it was just leaking so i just replaced the whole thing lol

In the case of the 335i, you'll struggle to find such a moddable car, with that much power, that's that nice to drive, for anything close to the price. I'd argue they *are* cheap for what you're getting.

Fatal attraction

You got a point!
