You are one of the most amazing KZfaqRS ever! Thanks for helping the BMW COMMUNITY.

Omg! Love this...since i took over my brothers 740 now i know everything i need to fix minor details specially with the coolant and oil in spark plugs i changed them myself pretty easy and now im going to change the gasket...THANK YOU!

Thanks for taking the time to post this! You did a good job.

Thank you for being so informative with the M 62 to engine. Thank you for all the effort you put into the videos.

Very nice! I wish more people did stuff like this for other cars as well. Great vid!

Some of the best videos on youtube. subscribed! So rare that mechanics share info to the public. kudos!

Thank you bro! This helped me diagnose my coolant leak. Keep up the good work!

Another great video BimmerMerchant! It's very helpful to see the engine parts before attempting maintenance on this engine for the first time. Delightful!

Great tutorial Bro. I'm about to replace the valve cover gaskets on my 2003 Range Rover HSE. This has really helped me!!!! **two thumbs up**

Thank you. Please make more 740iL engine videos! your expertise is much appreciated

This is all excellent info, everyone with the v8 should see this. I'm fixing every single one of those things next week plus guides and vanos seals.

hey buddy just wanted to let you know your videos r still helping 7 years later thank you!\

I Really Thank You For Your Time and Your Knowledge , From The Great White Canadian North

Wow, this demystified the m62 a little bit for me. Thanks!

Awesome video!!!! I can't wait to see another one. Thank you for taking your time and being so detailed on everything I really hope you could make a couple more videos about the 7 series. God bless man

I had the same coolant problem. Couldn’t figure out where it was going. Thanks for the tip, I’ve been looking for the fix all over the internet.

I like your videos bro. I do all the work myself and it helps out a lot before I dig into the motors to see what I'm working with thanks to you. Cheers!

ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO!!!! ITS CLEAR THAT WITH YOUR VIDEOS ONE CANT GO WRONG... THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks for posting this video. I believe you just showed me where I'm loosing coolant. A more pressing issue I'm having is a bad fuel injector. I saw you remove the fuel line and expose them. Before that can be done I need to see how to remove the components that block access to the fuel line and how to reinstall everything after the injector is replaced. Thanks again.

Great break down and naming of parts very helpful video

awesome video I appreciate it doing this Saturday on my 740il.

Whoa! this the video i needed to see. Thnx

very helpfull i had a coolant leak coming from my valley pan and now i know where its at

Very good video. Really deserves more views.

Good job bro! Thanks very much for video. My engine problem same like that oil in up cap

Well done! Easy to work when the engine is out :) just replaced the valve cover gasket....and wasn’t quite simple with all the parts in the way....but I learned something....in this video. Thanks

Really enjoyed this video! helped me figure some questions out as well! thanks!

Wow I didn't even know about the existence of valley pan till today. and I'm a mechanic lmao. Great vid.

great video got several codes I didn't even consider the manifold gaskets which may be my solution. Thanks a lot!

Yo bro bro I don’t know how to thank you 🙏🏿 you gave me confidence to rebuild everything thank you bro

This is a Non Vanos engine. Notice the extra port on the throttle body to the upper right and the small sprockets on the intake camshafts.

dude your saving my life right now!! tHank you sir

Very informative thank you

bimmermerchant is best at explanation and presentation thus you are so appreciated, thanks

Thank you for sharing this info. I'll check out your website for future repair parts.

thank you so much ...very helpful

well worth the watch

Great video thank you

This is actually such a beautiful engine... How cool it would've been if bmw made it a poor man's S62 with dual vanos per head and itb's with 4.4 liters...

Great video. Thanks.

You know what your talking about 🤙🏽

Thx! Very good video. You help me with repair my engien.

Very informative! Thank you.

Your videos are great do you have one that shows how to remove the fuel line on this engine

Amazing

This is a great info, thanks for your input

Very nice demonstration👌

great full friend thanks

wow, your videos are really useful when it comes to mending the M62 engine I am going to check why mine is misfiring sometimes and sometimes not

Helpful video! Question though! Where does the oil pipe outlet connect on the engine or the other side? I know one goes up to the bottom of the oil filter but wasn't sure where the end leads to

Great info thanks!

nice video

@bimmermerchant thank u so much for ur reply! I have 2 other question if u dont mind. 1- i have a problem with the power steering, in the morning for a few mins its okay but as i move with the car later on i lose power steering and only works if i press the gas pedal while turning. Any thoughts? 2- i’m smelling burnt oil coming in from the ac vents. I changed the the gasket seals and the cyclone but still no luck. Thank u!

Good Video, unrelated question how much for that rim in the back ground?

Good video. Thanks

This is very informative............Thanks for posting. Learnt a lot.

good vid. tell me more

you are a g bro

Wish I had stumbled across this earlier, but its still been extremely helpful as I tear the engine out of my 98 740 and figure out what is wrong with it. Already found a coolant leak the the Valley Pan, but I don't think thats what caused it to go.

It’s help me a lot thanks body...

How is that hose coming off the CCB cover secured? Is it just a regular hose clamp? Mine has a habit of blowing off and I dont see a way to clamp it because of those plastic fins coming from the cover.

When you replace all this gaskets covers things that leak oils and stuffs.. all new...how long time till next change normally..how long they last?

what you think of remanufactured engines - lets say if you have a 2001 740 sport e38 with 200k +miles... i heard replacing the engine block with a remanufactured one, or the whole engine ? is there something i missing replacing the block and put everything from the older engine on (Covers, rods ect) ? or there is something more to this ? or the engine will do fine on a rebuilt (vanos,seals, chains)?

nice :)

nice

nice video thats the videos i like to watch. so i can learn and do it my self. hey what do u think of the 04 bmw 745il. are they good cars

Hey how about a video on the ridiculous and famous 2004 X5 4.4i Alternator gasket bracket replacement. Thanks Dan

is there any throttle position sensors? In the rear

Thanks for sharing info..what was or is in your opinion,best bmw v8? ..if only they put one in a 3series huh!!

Ok ok 740 😊🥰😘

My car is a 1996 BMW 740il. Build date is March 1996. Hi, I have a sort of low pitched rattle that happens on either side of my engine. It started out sounding like a sticky lifter but now it sounds more like a rattle. It is in the top end of the motor and it changes pitch with acceleration. Again, it happens on both sides at any given time. When the motor starts, it sounds smooth. As it settles and warms up, the noise starts. I have changed the oil, and I have ran Royal Purple through the gas a couple times. Nothing changes. Any ideas? I would like to avoid the $200 BMW diagnosis.

Fan of your videos! Q: Would that 740il engine fit a 540i? What changes do I have to make? Thanks!

хорошее двигло прям влюбился

i have a 200 bmw 540i the timming belt or chain broke i had some one replace the engine the other engine is suppose to be good .after replacing the engine the car does not start. when you crank the engine cranks but does not start. sound s like engine is cranking free no spark and drains the battery right away what was not done right while replacing the engine. if you could help me diagnose the problem

Thank you very much for the video, you explain alot, great information for all of us, I have a question if you dont mind, yesterday I changed the valve cover gaskets and after that when I start the car the engine stopped, started again engine is running but its revving, and I get alot of smoke through the tail pipes, weird smell, alot of people say that the head gasket is blown, before I changed the VCG I never had this problem so the coincidence is way to big , what do you think?

Thank you very much 👍, I want to now if this engine is exactly the same engine in my car or not , my car is LandRover LR3 2009 V8 4.4

This is a NON VANOS motor

Im trying to port my heads how can i take them off please tell me

Most people who have this engine out of the car will know how to remove the intake manifold and valve cover gaskets. If you had the wire harness and cover on still that would be much more beneficial. For example, it is NOT so simple to replace the valley pan gasket or knock sensors, the water pump, belt, tensioners, fan and fan clutch need to come off etc. Just some criticism. Also, for getting oil out of the spark plug wells!! This is so obvious lol but If you have an air compressor (which you should if you're attempting any of this, not that its needed, you just should have one!) spray wd40 to thin the oil and blow that crap out. Obviously oil would go everywhere, so take some paper towels and shove them down in the spark plug crevice, the paper towells will absorb the oil and yea, squeaky clean.

Hi bro, great video, I have a question In the inlet pipe there are two throttle bodies, and I want to know, what's the function of the first one, near the air filter cover, thanks.

I'm trying to change the head gaskets on a 97 740 il. U have any tips?

Hello, can you explain to us how to unlock the engine step by step? I have a problem with the same engine, a slight noise

You mentioned that you can swap this intake manifold to a newer model and get increased performance. My 2001 740 has an electronic throttle control rather than mechanical. The throttle body shaped differently as well. It just bolts up?

Very informative, perhaps you can help me with a problem that I am having with my 1998 540I. I just changed the engine , the new engine came out of a 1998 740il however, the wiring harness for the new engine didn't match up with the plugs on the 540i and the Knock sensor plugins didn't match up right either. last week , I went to the junk yard and took the knock sensors off a 540i and also cut and soldered the wires on the female connection so that they would match, the car is running as smooth as a sewing machine, but my service engine light is still on and it is reading 4 codes on the OBD2, P1385 knock sensor 4 circuit, P0330 knock sensor 2, circuit 2, P1384, knock sensor 3 circuit, and P0325 knock sensor 1 circuit bank 1 or single sensor. Will you please tell me what all this means and what it is that I need to do to fix the problem? Any consideration will be greatly appreciated, Thank you.

at 5:02 can you instead of buying the WHOLE valley pan just because of the bad gaskets can you use RTV instead? and just scrape the old gasket off?

Can you please tell me what to look for when buying this car and is the engine reliable

You dont have to buy a new valley pan, you just put gasket sealer on and put it back in

orale bro... thanks for the video. my 540i is still running fine but it's really nice to know how it breaks down. how many miles did this motor have on it?

This is an M62B44 not the M62TUB44. The e38 didn't receive the TU version until 1999. Also the TU version didn't have wide body intake runners.

The title needs a correction - that's not a TU engine, it's an M62B44 (without Vanos).

That's a non Vanos motor. Moreover I like the way you edited out prying the valley pan past the knock sensors when it wouldn't come out

I know I'm super late... but everything you doing is the same thing with an 01 model ?

What is that pong pipe and what does it connect too?

How do I fix a 540i BMW the fuel trim is too high for both blank 1 and blank 2 or P1161 and P1159
