seeing the happiness when it was fixed put a huge smile on my face bro it’s always such a good feeling getting something fixed after running around for a while

You did it bro. You gave the N54 new life

The reaction man, feel like all us car guys have been there when you accomplish a fix that's been stressing you out! hahah laying in bed like damn what if i do this? how about that? awesome stuff Alec!

Your videos are my therapy man

Great job

Awesome feeling solving an issue that’s been kicking your ass. Way to persevere!

I think that fuel pump plausibility fault is pretty common and doesn't cause issues. I want to say mine has had that for the whole time I've owned it - since 2010.

Awesome!!! No better feeling than getting that fix done! Really enjoyed your reaction and your dawg's zen!

Awesome work Alec! Knew you’d figure it out. Bet you’re much more stoked about working on its other needs now. Excited to see further work on this project. Be well my friend!

Great job fixing it bro!

17:13 Alec, I remember those drives quite well and now I still live in that wonderful cool and clean summer air, just 300 miles south of you!

Awesome, knew you’d find the solution soon

Great great job man! I am fixing up a 2012 335i F30 with 240,000mls on it and your 335i video's give me good hope!

Nothing like starting the day off with a fresh video!

We did it 😃

GREAT JOB MAN! 🎉🎉🎉 congratulations on beating that challenge. That Smog machine is a blessing. I celebrated that big win with you while looking that Video 😂 💪💪💪

There is a BMW bulliten for the fuel pump plausable code. It isn't of any dire repair or fix. You can also check the EKPM module.

Yesssssss!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 wooohooo!!! NICE!!!! Let’sss goooooo!!!!

Your excitement is inspiring me to go chase the drivetrain malfunction in my $1000 F10 535i 😅

Good job, keep em coming

Great job sorting this car out.

Great job! Enjoying and looking forward to your vids!

Well done, great result

Strong work! I know the feeling g working with these cars. Congrats

Awesome job!

Congratulations Man!!!!! I'm happy for you

Great job!!! I can feel that accomplishment!!

Hell yeah man. So happy for you

Running a 2011 135i with N55 motor (and an E90 N52 before that), I know how great this feels when you solve a complex issue! 👍👍

Great job dude! You're an inspiration!

هذه هي نتيجة الإسرار و المثابرة، خالص التهاني تستحق كل الاحترام و التقدير ، واصل اخي

Great job man, it's so cool to see you work through that issue & get the job done! I'm super gassed for you. As someone who is working on my own car it's very refreshing to see that sometimes the diagnosis doesn't always work first time, story of my life 😆

You are awesome! So happy for you. I appreciate your thoughtfulness working your way through the issue. Looking forward to more videos.

Happy for you brethren!!!’ Awesome

Noice! It's a great feeling when you've been chasing a problem and finally find a fix.

You did it!!! Congratulations man!

Way to go!!! Congrats brother

Excellent work. This has been a fun series to watch.

Good job man!

Man that’s awesome! Glad you finally got it figured out. That was such a weird issue to try and track down but you finally got it! Nice work!

I’m learning more as you go through the diagnosis process and trying fixes. That’s real world stuff. Not every fix is perfect. Keep up with these types of videos. Congrats on getting it figured out!

Great Job dude!!!!!!! ur awesome keep it up

I was wondering how you are doing, Alec I can see that you are doing great!

So happy for you man! You’re a good professional!!! Congratulations!!!

Well Done, nice the turbos are good! Doggy knew it was fixed.

Its not always the goal but the road towards...Love the troubleshooting along the way...its rewarding and educational....🤘

Great Job 👏 always good to see a BMW back on the road. I know you make this car a good daily once again

Super great video!!!😊

Awesome job. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

Broo I’ve just opened KZfaq and seen this post but I don’t have time to watch the vid until tonight! I’m really excited

Nice work! Great to see hard work and troubleshooting paying off! Inspired to get rolling on my N54 E90 engine build.

Stoked for you, great job, man!! I loved and kind of miss my 328, but you're so right, these things ALWAYS need some kind of repairs, and if you can't do the work yourself, it's gonna cost you a grip!

Great job kid! I’m really enjoying this video series.

Heck yeah, this is fantastic and covers some diagnostics I think I need to try on an upcoming project for myself. As mentioned above, you have definitely been an inspiration and a catalyst to me and many others. Keep on rocking!

Sweet. Right there with you man. Take a bow sir.

Alec, your skill and perserverance with this car has just brought a massive smile to MY face as well. I am very happy that you sorted this out, and thank you for sharing the joy as well as the pain :)

Love the vid!

Congratulations! Yes keep it 💯 % real. We can all learn something even if it's not our model. BMW fans use all that info for their next ride choice. Happy for you and glad you met people from SEMA. AWESOME !

Feels so good when it’s fixed

Dude I’m so happy for you

I love these videos bro! Thank you! I feel for you when you're struggling with the car. Talk about a case of "Been there done that"! LOL. But it's not a joke when you're in the thick of it and nothing seems too= make sense or work. By the way those are actually called "Boost Solenoids. The waste gate actually on the turbos and pull the arms to "actuate" the flaps inside. I've put "XHPTuner" on my car which is a transmission app you can get for your phone. It makes it so you can really change those extremely lazy and slow shifts when using the paddles or even in the regular drive modes. It's made a world of difference with the shifting and torque settings. You can do a huge amount of upgrading on the trans with it. Of course now comes the time when you may want to consider your many options. You can put on some serious power if you want and still keep the OEM turbos through going with some Mods. I think you might already have the down pipes?? Not sure but those are VERY awesome upgrade as well as the front intercooler then some E85 (E40 blend or E50 makes a HUGE difference) This is all while using the MHD app to tune your car. Ive gotten to the point where I'm Running a Custom tune from JSRTuning with up graded 17T turbos (I think your New ones might be those same type) When you do (or if? lol) the new Intercooler make sure you get the larger sized 7.5 or even a 7 inch cooler as I learned the more expensive way that once I put the smaller 5 inch intercooler on mine I wished I'd gone bigger when I found myself able to go further with the mods 6 moths later. ROCK ON BRO!! I still recommend checking out the "Zero to 60" channel as Andrew was a HUGE help to me when I watched the videos on his cheap 17T turbo car build. All his mistakes were SO much help! Don't go for the 3.5 T-Map right away as it's not really any help unless you have the bigger turbos on and all the other mods first. LOVE YA MAN!! SAGE is so SWEET! Wow you spoil your chickies! LOL. Long Johns for feed!

This is great, congratulations on figuring it out! 335i is definitely on my list of cars to own. I wish I had one of them smoke machines, have 2 separate projects that I can’t find a leak on.

Strong Work my friend !!!!!!!!!!

Good Job Brother!

yes! keep it up! I am preparing a guibo disc replacement + center mounting driveshaft replacement. Maybe also an idea for a video.

21:40 sound good

Hell yeah Alex!!! Way to go brother, really enjoyed watching this. In hindsight it's so obvious, isn't it? Not building boost - waste gate malfunction. But it's always easy once we know the answer. That's why I think good mechanics are so underrated. Like finding a needle in a haystack sometimes, and some issues it takes a real "Dr. House" to get to the bottom of. Looking forward to the next episode!! Wish I could invite you for a (physical) beer some time, but maybe I'll just join your patreon or something instead. Cheers!!

I had 2009 335 coupe loved it when it was running fine. It was a bit of a nightmare between the waste gates, high pressure fuel pump and fuel injectors. I traded it in before my warranty was up as the two HPFP, the waste gates and three times the injectors were replaced under warranty for a 2011 328 sport wagon needed more practicality. I had the sport wagon for 5 years without one single problem.

Big thumbs up on the first 10 seconds. Brightened everyone's day w that hootin.

Great job 💯 👍🏽

You're a genius bro...good looks

This is why this channel works for me, it's real and we're warching A's determination and experience grow!

Lets go! Its all coming together, keep it up:)

Fear not you have a free pre facelift e90! I have a 08 330” e92 I love the older na BMWs but still find myself watching I want to b58/ n55 swap my car, keep up the work man your motivating me 💯 🔥

NOICE! I know that saved you some dough not having to replace turbos!! I know it's probably the last thing you'll do, but please swap those wheels out for some better looking factory ones, or maybe just strip them? The black doesn't look great on those.

nice video man

Dope video bro love the channel 🎉 I have a 07 335i 6MT

Nice work!

Good job bro

After all of that and it was something pretty small! Great troubleshooting, very thorough, you saw that one through to the bitter end lol.

Good job 👍

Gotta love the bmw 335is

Yeah these things can be difficult to diagnose sometimes no matter how good of a mechanic you are lol Glad you got your boost on the 335 fixed. No check engine light with you boosting it several times on the interstate id say yeah you more than likely nailed it there. Good eye on the actuator. My X1 was smoking from the cat and I ordered a new cat and already took the other one off and the gasket looked torched. So the tapping noise I was hearing could be a leak in the cat hence the smoke. Not sure yet. Hoping the new Elring turbo/cat gasket and new cat will fix it.

, excellent,, and...the other work needed doing anyway, so all round win 👌🏻

put a tune on it with a blow off valve and cone intakes same a chargepipe

What diagnostic software (and odb scanner) are you using? Love the vids keep up the great content!

Greet job!

Oh yeah congratulations men nice job.

HELL YEA !! Your face expression when there were no faults was epic !!! LOL You did it !! All you Broski !!

Super happy for you, bro! Time to go get some tacos!

fix BMW is like a witch hunt ... Really happy for you on this one

Definitely don't feel bad or think you're just thowing a bunch of parts at a problem. It's ALWAYS a good idea to replace some random aftermarket part with quality OE, and that fuel pump sock looked terrible, too.

The second the N54 dropped in your lap I was worried it’d do you in 😂 But stoked you hung in there and got it running strong!

bro yeah!

Nice job. Question though when you say wastegate actuator, do you mean vacuum solenoids?

Dude, try rock auto for hard parts liek oil pan, or ECS tuning, ( ECS tuning has bremmen oil pan for 206 shipped, Rock auto is actually more expensive for once, which i got the M3 control arms from Delphi for the rear from rock auto, plus new bilstein B4 sport suspension rear shocks for just over 300 shipped.)

Hell yea

I genuinely believe my car has the same problems. When you swapped the waste-gate actuators and then it started to smoke. Was it blue smoke? If so is that probably the cause? I think I need to do my waste gate actuators too, I don’t think I need new turbos.

Well done Alec, woohoo! Time to relax now
