BMW's straight six engines, diesel or petrol fuelled, are still amongst the best in the world. Their four cylinder models are very very decent as well. Though I am unsure why one would remove a DPF.

@@paulanderson7796 DPF restricts your vehicle performance if you don't hit the motorway now and then to clear the soot level that is built up in short journey's you do, with new diesel they use adblue liquid that that's also need to checked and filled up every 5 tanks of diesel one full tank of adblue liquid which put alot of pressure on your EGR VALVE due to heating up to burn ❤️‍🔥 the soot level or use adblue liquid to wash the processed soot out of your exhaust. Remove all this and your vehicle will breath better and go fast no EGR valve and no dpf I don't have diesel anymore but diesel was better without all these complications parts.

@@dgl7347 My first DPF car was a 2.2 litre Peugeot 406 HDi. Year model 2000. If have no issues with DPFs. AdBlue has nothing to do with DPF systems. It's used to reduce nox emissions by means of a process called selective catalytic reduction. You have no idea what you're talking about.

you must remove it if you drive on short ways

good for you ! now don't be so happy and excited because there is a problem: 1 change your oil with good oil every 5000 miles 2 warm up car by driving gently 5-10 min before you step on it. ( that's 30 sec idle than first 10 min drive gently ) 3 service gear box too and drop the pan no stupid machines to suck oil out 4 after you drove it proper drive the last 2-3 miles very gently allow for engine to cool down a bit and go below 1500 rpm for turbo to cool down. 5 as a general rule avoid brutal accelerations, try progressively , no abuse and will last much longer. Not saying is not ok to rev to 4000 and push it, by all means do so but only when warm and try a acceleration that is not to the maximum more like of 70% to be a bit on the gentle side. Cut load of stress on the parts. Is a small engine this is no M performance, is meant to be driven not raced.

@@mihairadupop2491 I drive normally, I just wanted them to take out my dpf because it stopped completely, I didn't know that they would map my car on stage 1, but since it is there, I will drive it normally and I hope I won't have any problems, I will listen to your advice!

they are pretty good cars, but i really dislike the turbo lag. How ever i like a lot when i drive Lancaster - London and back and by the time i am back i still have 1/4 in the tank . That i really like. In those moments I think i rather wait 1 second for the lag than pay 2 tanks of gas on the same trip.

@@mihairadupop2491 Do you think I will use more fuel with stage 1? otherwise, the roads in Croatia are open and quite flat!

@@sisapisamata i think you will use about 7-8 liters for 100 km. like 10 if you go very sporty. Dpf and stage one will reduce fuel consumption a bit , no miracles. This is a very economic car for the 3 litre engine with 0-100 km/h in 5 seconds. Not many in this class and at this budget.

I mean that is what i say in video man. You delete egr and block it

All diesels do the same. If they have dpf on you just do not see it. Is until combustion chamber heat up after a few explosions. Is no harm to the car. That was a cold start. I do not do cold starts as I have a heat pad on the oil pan at 240v. I plug the car in a timer and that starts the heating at 4 in the morning or when ever i want. So when I wake up and make my coffee and go look at the sky outside I just unplug it. There is not much need to wait to heat up as the oil has 40 degrees celsius and starts very easy. In 4 hours of run most of the engine is warm to the touch. So i just idle 30 seconds and away. Bit gentle the 4 miles to highway than i drive it normal . There is no need to be this crazy 🫣 , i am ocd. I like perfection. What i do is way way overkill. But I can tell you one thing. I been driving 25 years and i never had a brake-down to be calling in the truck to take me home. I got over 1 mil miles of driving . I like my cars to be impeccable, as pretty much most of my stuff. ( except the wife, thats quite noisy sometimes 🤣 )

​@@mihairadupop2491Hi, first of all excelent videos, awesome car and very good informations overall. Could you please explain how that heat pad works or which type should I buy? I also use my car rarely and I am trying to avoid cold starts as well... Thanks in advance:)

@@bmwe657er Is just a sticky pad that become hot when powered up. Is plenty of them to buy under name oil pan pad heater on ebay. It makes the oil be at about 30 deg instead of -10 whats outside in the winter so it flow a lot faster and lubricates. Do test put oil in the freezer and oil in the room temp and flow trough a funnel after a night and you will see for yourself . Only the oils from series 0w are so fluid after freezing the rest are not really. The 10w is actually thick as fuck. The 5w30 is acceptable. But is a huge difference on the engine it starts so much easy . They do this for plane engines with heating on cold winters. Is a bit over kill so is only if you really love your car.

@@mihairadupop2491 I do, that's why I will buy one :)) I saw something on aliexpress, it is surprisingly cheap, but the problem is in my garage I don't have a power source... Anyways thanks for your reply. Keep the videos coming :) M-am abonat!

@@bmwe657er not have power source , well you can make one . Can use your old batteries and a solar panel with inverter to make a bit of light in there and a gsm module relay to power on and off an used oil burning stove . You have free oil oil from changes and can also be found in every garage shop for free . I have one in garage in Ro to save electric cost. Is a modified diesel burner with bigger size injector and pressure is made by just gravity. I start it from my phone app . Can also use wifi module if u in range .

What color smoke ?

@@mihairadupop2491 grey-blue . got the same issue on a bmw e90 after dpf emptied without remap

@@mihaimatusoiu557 blue smoke is oil burn usually . can also be at start up the first 10 seconds if cold and a glow plug is bad

does it consume any oil ?

@@mihairadupop2491 no it doesn't . i checked with diagnose and all 6 glow plugs has errors on them , so probably glow plug module is gone , therefore is smoking , but mine is smoking for couple of minutes , not seconds

Mare lenea la roman , sau nu stie engleza . Da bade de la oi iti trebe soft pus pe ecu. De ascutai ce am zis intelegeai is mai multe parti la video.

It was actually a bad glow plug 😂 i had to change it later

It was changed too.

How come?

Yeah, UK cold … ish as they say at all here 😂😂😂 like 2 deg. No man is no -20 like back home here in this place

Oil do not drop at all in about 4000 mile until i change it . I look up the stick regular basis and water . I had old Russian cars in my youth I’m used to check constantly.
