Love it❤ giving it a go on your own . What a beast. From down under.Aus

The local crook stealership ignores problems during warranty period and then they spring the bad news on the owner when the warranty has expires.

I have 2 E39's with both the M54 and M62tu. I also have an E46 and E38. All great cars if well maintained.

Yea, you broke, you can't fool everyone.

To change a $20 sensor you need to drop separate the driver train from the car?!?!? Wow

What about that stripped bolt under that knock sensor!

Is this an easy repair for an young technician with not specific experience in bmw?

Despite having these same problems of leaking oil, coolant and over-heating issues, how is it that BMW engineers refuse to rectify these? It's been going on for decades, not years.

but when you start out in the electrical union you get free training and tools for 5 years and working and getting paid with raises. also your not expected to run around like in flat rate so you can learn and work at a good pace. you get better benefits and pension. once your in your good. then when your a journeyman you get real good pay . the automotive industry today just sucks.

135i, 150k miles, 428xi 100k miles and now i'm diving a 430xi.....tips! 1) every day warm up car before you start driving, use remote start to start the car before you grab your bag and go....that 2 min will allow the oil to move around and the head to come to temperature! in winter a little longer! It's a plastic filled engine....quick heating = damaged parts. 2) clean your engine bay twice a year if not more. Go to a self service car wash....use the high pressure hose to clean the hoods underbelly of "crud" that builds up inside the hood. then turn on the foaming brush and just lay it on top of the engine and allow the foam to pretty much degrease your engine...try to not get any on belts....just turn it on lay it on top of the engine and use your hands to kind of move that foam around so it just slides down the engine and components. again oil + plastic = bad! Then use the foaming brush to clean off the inner fender walls. 3) go under with rubber restore or white lithium or something and hit anything with a bushing.....the engine mounts.....flood them with the stuff...it will help restore them and keep them happy! 4) Before you go though a car wash or you wash your car....grab a can of brake cleaner and just about soak the crap out of your brake pads to keep things free of buildup...that buildup may cause brakes to freeze up and your brake pads will last longer because less crap between then and the disc. 5) Keep your car clean as best as you can. Not easy but do your best. As for interior....grab one of those dust glove things that look like fuzzy mittens.....grabe a bottle of black magic...spray a few squirts on to the glove and massage it into your dash your doors and anything plastic which will get cooked by the sun or frozen by the cold...don't worry it won't cause electrical issues if it gets into the dash. while you are doing that grab a towel soak it in black magic and your door seals and your hood seals heck any seal on the car you can see....soak it in the stuff! 6) if you are an old lady driver like me .....Italian tuneups.....let car warm up to temp.....on ramp to a high way or some hill....you really need a long steep hill......gun it! just give it the beans a few times.....really helps remove the carbon buildup on your pistons and in your exhaust. 7) Enjoy your car! They are amazing vehicles! I loved my 135i and i adore my 430xi, love and respect them and they will love and respect you.

M54❤

I trust the B58 Zf combo, if Toyota trusted it with the Supra then that works for me

Picked up a 00' TJ 2.5L 4cycl. I believe its only 3speed auto. Will swapping a 4speed make it run less angrier on freeways. Or just swap a 5spd manual ( I dont think they make 5speed auto?) I dyi bimmers but know nothing about the Jeep world.

sulev warranty only applies to certain states not every US state will qualify for warranty under sulev

oh so thats why so many people ride scooters, bikes and skateboards to get around lately🤣

Thanks for this info. Ive been looking at a 2020 Mini Countryman JCW with the B48 engine. My mechanic is begging me not to buy it and because of videos like this i know why. Shame, Mini keeps popping up on most reliable lists lately.

Re. F series BMW's, I can never understand why these "quality" cars are not fitted with a water temp guage....

Ive been looking at a 2020 Mini Countryman JCW with the B48 engine. Are there aftermarket answers for any of these issues? Does BMW care about their reliability ratings at all? The only reason im considering a BMW product is the Mini showed up on a couple of most reliable lists. Im now thinking BMW must have paid them off.

yeah it takes years to become good auto tech but you will still get paid less than the other trades.

I love BMW but they are not realiable

Those springs work being almost flat?

Very good, but stop gesticulating to much…

I just replaced the Oil Filter housing on my Dad’s 118i M sport shadow edition ‘18, 1.5 or the B38 3 Cylinder. Was tempted to change the Plastic coolant pipe that bolts to the block, but they didn’t have one in stock. The Turbo Waste gate linkage is about to start rattling 😊. The dreaded Vanos ticking sound. They’re good engines just need addressing with up-rated parts if possible. P.S a mysterious intermittent EML and reduced power/drivetrain malfunction occurred, but went away after resetting the oil level AGAIN,

Aren’t the B58 pretty bullet proof? I’m thinking of getting on this weekend now I’m having second thoughts

Is there a solution to replace the oil filter housing with something more durable?

I just dealt with the turbo coolant return line leak and upper radiator hose leak on a 2019 B48 X3 recently at 50k miles. Good to know that I will have to keep my eye on the oil filter housing and heat management module now.

2020 x4 2l what engine has?

Thanks for tips. Would love videos on older 3 series (2008 328xi for example).

hello please can you do a video on the causes of rough and stumbling idle on the B48 and also is there anyway to contact you aside the comments .Appreciate all the videos and tips so far

Is the B57 diesel affected?

Cool, but don't see any videos in your channel offroading the jeep.

Is it doing that humming noise at all speeds in or just high speed? My 05 qx56 RWD I jacked up my rear I felt no play hmms around 80mph goes away at 75mph drives perfect

Is it save to assume these points also apply to the B38?

水泵可以单独更换漏水门阀😂增压涡轮水管换成铝合金接头不会再漏水；机油格底座换改进型铝合金机油格底座+宝马（SSSS）机油格底座密封垫

Thanks for the tips! I had a BMW dealer tell me it’s a bad idea to replace the fluid and filter in a ZF transmission. Same thing with replacing diff fluids. I think they’re crazy. What do you think?

They used the wrong spark plug. Clearly the coolant spark plug should be manufactured by AC Delco, which stands for Absolute Coolant Delivery Company. Keep your BMW all ACDelco!

Lmaooo 😂

Thanks for the warranty info!!

Great content 👌 👏 Question...looking at a few bmw's.. Thoughts on the new m2 with the s58 motor🤔 & also m240i/ 340i xdrive with b58.. last Question, do you see any common xdrive failures, is rwd better choice for reliability .it would be a second fun car..thanks again for the great content 👌 👍

Great video. I actually had this replaced recently along with my oil filter housing and the hoses connecting the two. However now I'm getting a code (20A105) and my ac doesn't work right anymore. I hear it kicking on and off over and over again and it doesn't stay cold for longer than a few minutes. Any idea whats causing this issue?

Are these on the gen one b48 2017 330

0:16 Great Channel and informative content from a tech perspective - you’ve reached the UK ! Welcome you considering a review on 330d M340d 2020 > on models what to look out for / issues.thanks

If my bmw 430i 2018 is imported from US to EU and has a sulev b48 and 58k ml. Is the warranty also available here or is these extended warranties only US based? Thank you!

What do you think about the 2021 X5 Sdrive40i? Does it have a lot of problems? I’ve been reading a lot about the shark fin antenna leak.

Hey man, I took my BMW to the dealership 4 times for a low coolant issue light. On the 5th trip in the dealership said the leaks now due to a blown head gasket. and BMW is wanting to replace the motor and now we're out of warranty. I would pay you to email the all data manuals for removing the cylinder head.

Great video. I have and have worked on a few e90s and know all the failure points, but first time I have seen what I will soon be replacing on my 2017 430i with 48K miles. Should have some time left, but gives me a preview. I recently replaced the cylinder coolant return line under recall and while there BMW said I needed to replace my torsion struts, oil leaking from little plastic caps on the front of the engine, and also my fuel tank breather valve (I replaced all for $200 myself instead of $3000 quote by BMW). So far so good with only 48K miles, but this is what I get to look forward to. Thank you BMW.

Today changed the oil filter housing with an alu one but guess what. The thermal mgmt module above was oozing coolant trough the axles of both actuators down on the ofh. BMW should do a recall on this... it's a g20 b48 from 2020.

Just had this heat management module/thermostat body replaced on a newly (used) 2019 330i with 37k miles, I bought the car a few weeks ago and it started dumping coolant by driver side…the car came with 3k 3 month warranty and they wouldn’t cover this $3,200 repair…I said the fack I ain’t taking this back I haven’t even made my first payment yet, long story short they covered it. $3200 saved for now 😅

What is the part # for the neck?
