I still can't believe you push 500+ on an open deck / cast internal motor. Crazy. Got me thinking N55 over B58 at this point for the price differential. Didn't know these had such a high power potential! Word.

actually the oil filter gasket leaking is important because of the location of the housing. If it leaks it’ll directly leak toward the serpentine belt corroding it and leading to the belt slipping off and being sucked into the engine and there goes your n55 lol. They fixed this issue on the B58s

OFHG, replace that asap if it leaks that can kill your motor, it can drip oil on the belt and cause belt to slip. But make sure you prime the engine after doing OFHG because that can also kill your motor. Best way is unplug fuel injector wireless hardness and crank 3-5 time.

Great advice Mike! I have a 2011 E90 6AT 335i with 43000 miles on it. Decided to let the BMW dealership replace the oil pan gasket and the OFHG due to the potential of engine grenade if it’s not primed correctly. Hopefully with it costing me $2100, I’ve bought myself a little piece of mind!

My F06 Gran Coupe has no oil level indicator on the motor. You have to have the car check for you. It drives me nuts that i cant just take a look at the level if I already have the hood up. My last daily was a 6MT REV-UP G35 and the ridiculous oil consumption gave me anxiety, I had to check it constantly. The G rarely gave oil warnings even when it was at 50%!

Your shocks are gone bro. It happened the same way with my F30 335. Mine was on H&R Sports, by 60k mikes my stock shocks were gone. Upgrade to coils or the Bilstein B8’s and your ride will be completely changed. Even if they’re not blown, I guarantee when you take the stock shocks out (especially the rears), they’ll have no rebound left. Switch them out, no more bounce.

Hey mike great video. love the 435i. N55 is such a great engine if you take care of it and you touched on a lot of the necessary points. Only thing I would add is an oil catch can. Oil blow by from the direct injection engines are common, more so with the n54 due to the lack of vvt. However it can still be an issue with the n55.

One thing is the time and distance between oil changes is way to long on these cars, I personally change 3 times within the time the car software wants it changed. If you change it sooner you remove water that gets into the oil. Use BMW approved oil only... but don't let it get low on oil either.

m2 and m235i Racing which u refer to as m235R has dual pickup from S55 engine. the M235i (road car version) doesnt have that.. but nothing a baffle plate cant fix. is not the G from the yaw u should be worrying.. more from the pitch when u brake and accelerate on track that cause the starvation.
