Very well made video. I was looking at an 07 X5 with the V8, and the seals aren't leaking yet and after watching this I no longer want this vehicle lol. I'll go back to looking for a GX.

Nice job! I’m currently lapping valves on an N54 in my garage.

Been there on the motorcycles many times. Even smaller valve seals. Definitely tedious! Good work 👍🏻

Can you reshoot a video about the process of assembling the S62 motor? About the installation of chains and vanos, in more detail

Thank you Chris for this video! I am replacing the stem valves for my BMW S65 engine. I find it particularly difficult to do the exhaust side on both banks, especially cylinder 3,4, 7, 8 because the locations are very close to the wheel arch so the space is very limited. I am using the same pliers as you showed in the video, but it cannot reach in the the locations I mentioned above. Now I am ordering the valve stem seal pliers from AGA Tools, which has a shorter handle that I hope can fit that tiny space. Can anybody recommend a plier/seal puller for the V8 engines? It's pretty painful to do 😂

Check plugs first to determine which cylinders are getting oil inside.

Hello Chris I have a question did you experience any issues with the after cat oxygen censors after job done ? Cause I did the job on 2 different cars (750i 2006, 550i 2008) and both cars have exactly the same code. I’m really appreciate your advice thanks for sharing videos

If I ever need to do this job on mine… I wonder how many times I’ll drop the valve keepers while trying to put them back in?

I had the same problem with my 2006 750LI. I switched to a thicker oil Castrol EDGE 5W50 Synthetic. The problem stopped immediately and has not happened in 5 years. Trying to post this wherever I can- I hope this helps someone.

Will replacing the seal as demonstrated in this video stop the valve guides from leaking?

@TheBimmerBarn 11 ай бұрын

If you have bad guides, then those would need to be replaced, along with any bad seals. In my case, the oil burning remains on my motor and a misfire developed, so I believe the guides are bad as well, and hopefully no bent valves. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!

I almost got a E39 M5 this year, but my god the timing job looks like such a pain in the arse, I only work on my own cars and don't really want to attempt that kind of repair. For now I'm keeping my old Jeep as I just rebuilt the motor, was pretty easy lol

@Homerlovesbeer2 Жыл бұрын

Does this also work on an N62 motor?

@TheBimmerBarn Жыл бұрын

The valve seal tools will work, and procedure is very similar except you will need to buy a timing tool for the m62 motor! Hope that helps

Doing all that labor, Wouldn’t have it been better to replace all the seals and not just the valves but every rubber going back up including valve cover
