FIX the 6 Common BMW N55 PROBLEMS

I'm sure there are other issues that come along with the BMW n55 engine, but I would consider these 6 the biggest problems as they could leave you on the side of the road. If you have something that wasn't mention please share it in the comments and if you think it's a DIy level job or something to take to a shop. If your wondering about an oil catch can. I installed mine about 15,000 mi ago and have caught no oil yet so it looks like blow by isn't too bad on these cars.

Thanks Fritz! I'm approaching 104k miles and have replaced the charge pipe twice (once under warranty, then I replaced with the vrsf myself when the second started to leak, no issues since), oil filter housing gasket (used a mechanic, but EatSleepDrive has a good tutorial), coolant hose off the expansion tank (left me stranded, but very easy fix with part and coolant). Previous N55s have had electric water pump and thermostat issues, but possibly fixed now considering the lack of comments on the 2addicts forums. No issues with the boost pipe or intercooler. Very reliable car, especially after all known issues are addressed and even more so if the car is kept stock. I've driven across the country 3 times with no issues and the last 30k miles have been problem free with routine DIY maintenance.

If some of you are interested in a 228i rather than a 235i, BMW resolved the timing chain issue for the N20/N26 engines produced 2016 model year and after. If you're still uneasy about it, ensure you perform 5000 to 7500 mile oil changes. My F22 M Sport is a 16 with 69k+ miles with no issues so far (knock on wood).

Hi fritz, thanks for the great vid. I switched 3 years ago from a N54 to the N55 (M135i-2014) and i didnt regregt this choice. The N54 was an awesome engine (430hp) but i got so many issues over the years (cant even count-_-)....yeah it was tuned, but even with stock power i had just trouble. My mechanic loves me because every quarter year i had huge and expensive problemes(high pressure pump, injection,valves,turbos....and more and more..... With the N55 its kind of a new Level, a new level of driving "without trouble" ...ok, i just got 62000km(38.000 miles), i have a chargepipe-boostkit upgrade and a M-Performance exhaust (~350hp) ok, to be fair the N55 has some tiny little issues, the wastegate rattles a little bit, and the vaccum pump makes wired noises in cold start...but it works, i checked that from my BMW dealer and he just said "state of the art" ...

As well as a new radiator and upper radiator hose. Other than those issues (most of which happened almost all at once at 100k miles)… This engine has been shockingly reliable considering it’s a BMW.

My 2014 m235i F22 just went into limp mode / Drivetrain malfunction on the highway. Based on Bimmerlink I’m assuming it’s a charge pipe or vacuum hose… I haven’t found it yet 😔. I’m at 80k miles. Last year I had the valve cover gasket replaced and front struts replaced (both failed around 75k). The oil filter gasket is looking like it’ll need a change some day soon, too. I also had a radiator coolant hose fail at 65k (replaced that myself). The use of cheap plastic hoses, parts and inferior gaskets is extremely irritating and pretty unforgivable.

Why you didn't mentioned the electric water pump ? It's a common and known issue on N55.

It doesn't require exotic tools and there's plenty of tutorial in here.

Oil filter housing gasket is another common problem. After going catless, I'm noticing white smoke buildup (during idle, not when driving) in my exhaust. I fear my turbo seals have gone out. Or maybe PCV.

I replaced my PVC with a heater hose, I hate their plastic hoses lol. Hopefully it's not your turbo seals. Have you checked your downpipe clams?

@@FritzRamos Yep, the smoke didn't smell sweet so its not coolant. It was pretty stinky, but I can't tell if its oil or just gasoline smell

Is it normal to hear what sounds like the turbo spooling up in these cars Under moderate to heavy acceleration?

Thanks for the heads up! Coolant level is good. Is it just me or is that sensor is super sensitive? lol

U forgot a few other problem valve cover pcv valve leaks air haven’t to replace the whole cover since it is built in plus vacuum lines crack and fail causing hard brake pedal in morning or when left for a few days too hard to engage the brake switch which lets u start the car cause vacuum has been lost and car won’t start unless u are able to press it down with all your might and maybe get it i wasn’t able to plus there’s a very stupid fault is your door handles start getting wet they blow a fuse to your dcm which whole car goes into limp mode car barly eunnor even stays start brakes don’t work it’s very unsafe but it all happen from a faulty leaking door handle just unhook the comfort access to that door so won’t open when u walk up to that door unless u hit unlock so u gotta replace the handle

65k on mine and going strong so far! How was the quality of your vrsf boost pipe? Mine did not have a smooth path on the inside. Looked like there were weld marks inside of the pipe.

Mine looked pretty good. It was definitely rough but I don't remember seeing weld marks
