Hi I'm in the UK, i have a BMW x5 2005 e53 4.8is 99545 miles, I've converted it to run on LPG, done lots of work on it, and at the moment it's having the transmission fluid, filter change, ive alrrady changed the engine oil, coils, filters etc, 4 new 20inch tyres, new xtrons head unit, new complete rear light assemblies, instrument cluster being refurbished at the end of the month, then later this year, new alloy wheels. Thanks for the video, best wishes to you, Andrew 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍👏👏

Excellent demonstration, thanks for sharing

That is check fluid level. Need to turn the car on while in P and pumping fluid until it spill out. If want to precisely, Use temperature gun and measure temperature between 30-34°C point at the fill/check plug. Open fill/ check level plug and let excess fluid come out. Quickly close the plug, and turn off engine.

Great video, i wish i had a mehanic like you in my country. I own 2002 e53 4.6is with zf5 gearbox with 218 000 kilometers behind him now. I invested a lot of love , care and money into that car and actually solved a lot of issues that previous owner collected before selling it to me and there is this one last thing that is bothering me, when the car is cold everything is fine , but when it warms up it starts to do this weird knock while stopping (from 2nd to 1st gear) , not allways, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it does it soft , sometimes it does it harder and i dont like it. As i found out my mechanic didnt replace gearbox oil properly as it should , 2 years ago he just drained old one and filled the new one and thats it. He had to change my gearbox oil because my gearbox oil cooler broke and mixed gearbox oil with coolant. During those events i had gearbox error code and went trough a lot trouble with that car. Replaced all hoses as they snapped one by one and 100 other things. Now it practically has new cooling system and behaves a lot better. No more error codes on gearbox but still that knock from 2nd to 1st wont let me sleep

What transmission is this? Have this same one in my 2004 4.4 x5

Thanks for your tips about the MAF reading on my 4.8is. I noticed that it was slow to go into reverse (2 - 3 seconds). Do you think a filter change and new ATF would fix this, or it may be a solenoid/valve body issue? It has 170k miles, but no codes or slipping.

Hello boss, I’m trying to add treatment for the gearbox oil. I have x5 v8 2006. Any recommendations how to do it? Thanks

I have a 2005 BMW X5 is it the same process? My X5 gets stuck in first gear and the mechanics over here in Cali be really taxing just to check
