Thanks for the info! I've worked on a few of these including the last gen version, and from personal experience I wouldn't even try to replace the chain with the engine in the car. Is it possible? Sure, but would you actually want to? I certainly wouldn't and most mechanics wouldn't either. As for the DPF, again my personal experience says you can't expect BMW's ECU to give fault codes out correctly, and when I said replacing it can be a pain I mean in the UK where by the time its on the way out every single exhaust bolt will be rusted to hell so your only choice is to angle grind the entire exhaust out and replace it. That's my first hand experience. And for the crankshaft pulley, my mistake there. I must have mistook the style of pulley for one you'd need to pull off even after the bolts are out.

@@AtTheWheel Last 3 chains replaced with the engine in the car , no problem, why wouldn't you when there is enough place to move around. DPF - Exhaust bolts you usually cut and replace with new , no need to waste time with trying to unbolt them. ECU is not stupid and won't give you errors just because it likes to throw errors, there is a problem somewhere...

Wery well said!👌

Yep well said

Is it a regular service item?

can i video call you to show me where is it ? :)

2010 E90 with N57D30TÜ with engine software done. Driven it for 70k km - no "common" problem. If you tell people to have a longer drives for the DPF to regenerate and you have to drive 60miles/h to clean it then your definetly using your diesel wrong. A 3.0 Diesel is not a car for the city, its a car made for long distances. I know a lot of people with those engines and never heard a single problem. This vid makes me angry

@@knackwurster7793i don't think all issues plague all engines, however soot buildup in the intake track from egr is a very real problem for most N57. worse, the soot starts to accumulate in the intake ports and creates choke points in the intake manifold where theres only 2-3cm (~1“) diameter opening for all the air to flow throw. this can be taken care of by walnut blasting the ports and soaking or pressure cleaning the intake and egr. i soaked my intake and egr in undiluted simple green for a couple days while doing maintenance and cooling system work. Also on all modern diesels, for DPF, the regens burn off soot, but the soot turns to ash, and the ash accumulates indefinitely until the dpf is full of ash. only DPF cleaning or replacement can fix that.

Hello there, how is your car doing so far? Timing chain and auto trans? Any other problem started creeping up since the ownership? Thanks

@@bathanmark actually at the moment it's in the garage because high pressure fuel pump stopped working and because of that I've been told the injectors will also need replacing because metal filings would have entered them. ALSO they said timing chain tensioners are damaged too... they said it's not worth fixing because it will cost too much! The car is no good to me like this AND I've had work done on it! I said fix the timing chain issue and then I will keep it a bit longer and then sell it. It was then that done the timing chain before. Worst car I've ever had! I had 530d E60 before this and ZERO problems and it was running like a dream when I sold it at 250k miles! Background to this issue was everything was running nice and smoothly and then it suddenly just broke down and wouldnt start! Been in garage for 4 weeks now! I'm seriously pissed off

@@biggur5 sorry to hear that. Yes your 530D E60 sounds like a gem compare to this one. I thought once you got the timing chain done nothing much would fail as you do you regular oil change. that sucks. What was the mileage when this give up to you, right when it decided to stay in the garage?

@@biggur5 I think that your car didn't have the original miles, or it was used rough. The timing chain should easily live up to 125k miles. Around 125k miles you have to change also the crankshaft bearings. High pressure pump is one of the main problems in N57.. But gotta admit that the E60 530d (M57) is an absolute beast engine, you cant kill that engine.

The M57 is built different, very robust engine. Probably the best diesel engine made

And you have a garage ?

Did it cost much?

@@Ronk3li oh no, only $34

HPFP, LPFP, Injectors, turbo, that's all really... PCV membrane is a good one cheap as fuck and will bring you peace, and check swirl flaps as well as rocker cover gaskets :)

At those miles do a trans service now and every 50k km. Definitely do a transfer case service and recalibration on it and repeat each 50k km. Change out diff oils. Install an oil catch can, check if the intake ports need a walnut blast and if the intake needs a clean, get the EGR coded off or remove and code if preferred, to stop it continually clogging up with shit over time. I prefer to leave DPF fitted due to the smell. Replace the coolant pump and check and replace harmonic balancer if it needs it. Install a HPFP bypass disaster prevention kit so if it fails it doesn’t take out the rail and injectors as well. Glow plug module commonly fails, if you’ve got codes for it or the glow plugs then change the module out or it’ll be shite to start when cold. Oil change every 10k km. Make sure the rain tray accross the back of the engine bay is not falling apart and that it’s sealed properly, if it leaks it’ll go onto the engine and you’ll be up for new #5 #6 injectors. Get Chinese ones if you need to replace them and just seal them up with sealant once installed. Akebono ceramic dust free pads are the go to keep wheels clean and last forever, pedal is firmer but get used to it. Make sure to clean and lube the contact points or you’ll tear your hair out with warped discs. Probably more but that’s a good list to make it really reliable, I’ve had my X5 since 30k km and has 190k km on it now. Not without its problems in that time, but it’s been beautiful to drive! Enjoy 😊

how to prevent car from crankshaft problems? i had one 640d with 320.000 kilometers and it fucked up at crankshaft, i bought well mainteined 640d again with 170.000 kilometers with new air intake put on, what should i do ?

@@guesswho6906 around 200 k you have to change the timing along with the bearings. Also have to avoid the long oil change periods what bmw recommends. On my own bmw i change the oil 10-15 000 km

Had a blocked dpf so bought a cable to force dpf regen. Drove it on the freeway and it regened. Power came back. Cable seller told me they also do remaps. Temptation got to me and sent it in the next day. When I came back the next day to pick it up engine was knocking. Has 180k km. Being the first f10 engines of the 535d (299ps) can't find a replacement here in Oz. No rebuilders want to touch it.

​@@joud360 You got too greedy my friend. Want 500hp? Buy an M5. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Have you change it yet? I'm also considering "19(updated battery) 530e for replacement of my 2014 535d

@@dlobrown024 I still have it! shortly after I posted the comment a year ago the turbo failed :)) I had it fixed up for 2.5K, when they did that they also re-mapped the ECU and now it goes like the proverbial shit of the shovel, much much better than before. At this point before replacing it I want to see what the new G60 will look like.

@@micr75i hybrid turbo?

@@dlobrown024 still not sure about going plug-in hybrid, I am concerned that the car will have a massive weight and drive like shit :)

how the problem manifested itself?

@@alfa1t5 expensive 5k

I own an early 2011 and did the same. In which country did you get it fixed. I'm in Australia and it's hard to find an engine replacement or someone to fix it.

U cant do swirls and egr delete without removing dpf/scr?

@@eLus1ve2991 you can. Mine still has the dpf. Annual emissions passed no problem

@@chrisnewbold9876 wow this whole time i thought everything had to be done at once, Do you have n47 or 57? Also did u have to tune with the deletes?

@@eLus1ve2991 I have N57 engine. I did the swirl flap delete myself - no retune is necessary for that as the flaps only create turbulence in the fuel/air mixture. Subsequently, I had the engine remapped to 300bhp, about the same as the 535 twin turbo non mapped engine. The tuner recommended the EGR delete, though its not essential to the remap. So the EGR is physically there, just not operating. Likewise, the swirl flap actuator remains in place, to fool the DME into thinking its still working. Do clean the inlet manifold - mine was nearly half blocked with black oily gunge…

@@chrisnewbold9876 damn im in CA Its hard to find a tuner here Any recomendations

Extremely difficult to change. Fuel nozzles do not want to come out.

From what I've read, BMW did make some changes to the later N47's, but it isn't 'fixed' as it's still remarkably thin.

@@AtTheWheel Do you happen to know to which models were these changes - improvements made? I own an 525D 11/2014 MSport...

he literally says what the problem is in the video

Hello did you fix your problem because i have the same problem.

Pretty sure that's normal for a diesel...

Also the timing chain is a serviceable item

What year is your 530d 👍 looking into buying one

yes, you always worry

😳

Mine went at 190,000 km, engine rebuilt, new crankshaft oem, after 5000 km same thing happened
