i really appreciate the videos man. you saved me thousands, i was able to rebuild my 2012 535i n55 engine after veiwing your series many times over, been subscribed.. ik it sucks but if you do more similar series for more commonly driven vehicles im sure this channel will start to pay off your doing great with the videoproduction and every aspect

Amazing video! I've learned so much from it and it's so cool that you are attempting this yourself at home in the garage!

Good job bro! I like how you use everyday supplies and you are realistic about how to do all the steps in the job. “No fancy tools lol”

Thank you, once it gets warmer I’ll definitely tackle a few things you are showing here!

Can't wait to see the finished product. Hopefully I never have to do this to my car (2011 E92 N55 x-drive), I don't think I have the patience.

you are so clutch for the amazon list thank you

Great video. Thanks for all the time and effort. Now and in the future.

Thanks man, i have a locked up crank and needed this to get to the flex plate bolts.

I have never watched a video so clearer detailed and easy step by step understanding of assembling this type of engine👌👍. I would definitely want those tools to try on my seized 335i engine. Please send me the list as well online shop where I can buy them. I am in South Africa

My 2009 335i e93 M-Sport engine started with a slight knock when over revving or changing gears. Now it has seized totally and I am advised to buy another engine. But then I cant beat the curiosity to know the problem. I just can't keep on buying. So your video has just curled the enthusiasm.

Great video I wish you was close by me in FL I score my crank and spun a bearing. Shops are telling me replacing the engine is a less expensive route :/ I wish I had two working arms to do this myself. Great video keep them coming 💯

Super helpful thank you!

Great job mate, you are a legend. Where did you get the assembly instruction from? I will also be rebuilding an N55 over the coming weeks. I am just paranoid about the first start and priming the oil after spinning # 1 on multiple occasions. Please take care when you first start your engine my friend. I am hoping that the third time will be a charm.

amazing

nice work man!! keep em coming

Great work. Anyway we should replace it with electric next time it start knocking.

I started watching your video and decided to put work on hold for a few minutes LOL love this video as it hits home with me. I currently drive a 2013 550 I Gran Turismo with approximately 64,000 km on it. I’ve been told all kinds of horror stories about N63 and N63TU variant. So it’s nice to see that you’re able to fix your vehicle by you yourself . Not to mention, you’re using some cheaper tools that are affordable as opposed to expensive tools. Which could make it, a little cost prohibitive for some people if they were to run out and buy all of the expensive tools. Although, we all love our tools right? I did have a question though, just wondering if you think I should be proactive on changing out the Vanos solenoid as I’ve heard many horror stories about it in my vehicle?

loved it

Dont use scotch bright pads they happen to leave microscopic improfections on the surface leading to issues down the road

Loving your videos man.. great job I’m learning a lot. When you have a chance can you make a tutorial on how you use ISTA?

Love your videos man! I am actually rebuilding my '15 N55 motor right now due to a spun rod bearing as well. Just curious, what manual are you using? I have been using the Bentley one and it doesn't seem to have as much detail as yours. Thanks, and good luck.

the backplate to block sealant, I love the fact that you don't have to use the nipples to spread that thing around. Any idea if there are updated instructions for all engines? Mine is a 2012 N51 from a 328i coupe engine. Same deal I would much rather not have to squeeze the sealant it seems much easier the way you did it. What about at the main seals where you're supposed to use the primer from the little bottle once the sealant leaks out through there? Let me know what you think.

People are saying you need a alignment tool to align the bedplate to the block? What are your opinions

Hi, i have a similar problem like yours now i need good block with pistons.

Hello, I bought a new crankshaft but not original BMW so I don't have the QR code and the numbers and letters as we usually have on the original, is there another way to know what bearings do I need for this crankshaft?

Hi, i love your job§ Very pro and clean§ I'm looking for the technical spec for all tightsening torque on thie engine, where do you find the information? thank"s

Hi, thanks for the informative video. Quick question my coefficient of friction is about 5 nm to get started but once moving is around 2nm. Do you know if that is within spec? It’s 2nm pretty much instantly. Just the initial movement if I leave it for a day or a few hours is around 5 To 6 nm

May I know the n55 rod bearing bolt torque spec? Because I found the spec from web is 20nm and then 70degrees and then 70degrees again , when I follow this progress method, the crankshaft wont move freely, so I follow your method with 20nm and then 70degrees , the crankshaft can move freely without friction

How can I turn my crankshaft I’m trying to instal my pistons and I already sealed the bed plate

hi, thanks for your videos. my crankshaft n55 spun bearing on the cyl 1 connecting rod. Can I fit an n54 crankshaft on my n55 block?

I have an N20 engine for 320i that need to be changed crankshaft ,timing kit and bearings . Will the engine give the same performance

Interesting video bro, am looking forward to rebuilding my n52 can I use the same torque specs?

i put a brand new cranckshaft and bearing STD but i have 0.025 of clearance...good?

I need help with the tightening torque of the n55 connecting rod bearings

Is this possible with engine still connected to the engine bay?

By mistake I pull the center screw I crack the engine and everything came out I hear something fall and I put everything back, do you think the timing moved or something fall in side the oil pan? Thank you for your help

So I’m in the same situation with my N54 and I bought the same exact bearings. What I’m having a issue with is that the trust bearing oil hole is not lining up perfect. I noticed in your video they are the exact same. Isn’t that a flaw?

Did you post a parts list anywhere by chance?

Where did you buy the main crank hex bolts for the n55 engine?

How did you open the front central screw from the crankshaft?

Hello, I have a question my engine block is dead (bmw e92 335i n55) I would like to replace this engine block but I wanted to know what number I should look at and where to be sure that it corresponds to my engine Thank you for your reply

What site did you used to get alll the proper instructions?

Where do you find those instruction manuals ?

Can you please share where you get your service repair manual?

what manual are you using and where did you get it? Is it a .pdf Thank you

The bolts m8 are the same torque of the other m10?

Do you used the old crankshaft screw for plastigage ?

is the crankshaft resurfaced from the $ 350 engine,and what did it cost.

Whered you get torque specs

Are these pistons forged?

what instructions/electronic manual are you using for the reassembly - thanks

Hi there I have a bmw 2011 e93 I need to change fuel injectors you look like you can do a good job you can change in my car I pay I’m in New York let me know

No assembly lube?

Did you post a parts list anywhere by chance?
