Great video. Thank you!
Good luck with that car holding up
I beg to differ. Look at the cases where b48 and b58 have coolant leaks. More plastic!
Bro you can just turn off the running lights and have the angel eyes as your drl from the instrument cluster. Go to the key with the check mark. Click it and turn off the daylight running light. It will just leave the halos and turn off the high beam part. No need for all the coding bs.
I have the same car from the year 2019. It is currently at 82k miles, since it is my daily. I had a question about what preventive maintenance would you recommend before a stage 2 or turbo upgrade? Reliability is my priority. I won't mind 330-340hp.
Hey man thanks for this video. I am jelous watching it because on my E71 I am told that there is no way I can replace these crumbling rubber seals without replacing the whole rear triangular window!!! 400 Euro each side! Do you have any advise?
The cover with the engine start button, is that replaceable? Mine is damaged.
how much tourqe
Dude... change your smoke detector battery
My E90 320i had self adjusting shoes. You just put the car in reverse, drive slowly backwards, and pul up and down slowly on the handbrake three times. Done. The clicks get tighter and fewer as you pull the handbrake after this.
What purpose does the vacuum cannisters have? they are removed on mine
those small balls can be dried in oven or microwave oven
Well, why indeed be dropping the subframe instead of raising the engine. To raise the engine properly one should use an engine support bar as per Bentley service manual. Raising the engine by the oil pan perhaps appeals to people who did not have to pay to have the oil pan gasket fixed. I did and it cost me $900. Once you decide to raise the engine from the support bar, you discover that on N52 the tow hook not only does not screw in all the way, there is a collar on the tow hook that is in the way, but also it is too long and using a support bar from Harbour Freight like in this video does not give you enough clearance. I suppose it is also a choice between stressing some components versus some other ones. I dropped the subframe to replace the engine mounts. Another reason was that I could not understand where the flex points were. The transmission is attached to the engine and then there is the drive shaft. What happens when you raise all that? If you want to raise the engine with a support bar, a tow hook from an earlier BMW will work. It is shorter than the one that comes with an E90. I sincerely want to thank VehicularDIY for creating this video. You come across as trustworthy and no nonsense. Your video gave me confidence that the job can be done this way safely. I would have fretted endlessly over possible problems like separating the steering column from the steering rack to mention only one possible issue. But the lack of torque specs is a bit of a problem for an enthusiast mechanic. So, here is what I used: 1. Subframe to body (M12 bolts): 80 ft-lbs - Bentley page 119-28 2. Engine mount to subframe: 28 ft-lbs - Bentley p. 110-12 3. Engine mount to engine support arm (nut): 41 ft-lbs - Bentley p. 110-12 4. Transmission rear support to body M8: 14 ft-lbs - Bentley p. 210-12 5. Transmission mount to rear support: 14 ft-lbs - Bentley p. 210-12 Haynes gives slightly different numbers but not substantially different. For instance, for the subframe to body is wants 77 ft-lbs. That still leaves the issue of the v-strut. I had a pretty nasty experience with two of the six bolts holding the v-strut. Four of the six bolts holding the v-strut have captive nuts on the other side. On my car the bolts were quite rusty and the clips holding the captive nuts broke. I had to cut through the bolts to get the v-strut off. I could not find any torque specs for the bolts so I asked ChatGPT for help. It/they then suggested 31 ft-lbs. I used it but I wish I used 25 ft-lbs. I may have trouble getting these off some time in the future.
This guy pulls up at a car meet. Gets asked to race. Proceeds to scientifically explain why the other guy will lose in a two hour dissertation.
"What did it take to make over 500 horsepower on a B48?" "Everything."
Fuel level display can be inaccurate and cheap feeling
Dude is a master at saying a whole lot of nothing. Wasted video.
can someone explain where the 3 clips on the bottom clip in bruh im tweaking trying to put this thing on
looking for a custom tuner, i have this turbo on a 430i Gen1 b48. I have bm3 and on stage 2 and its not doing well
puis-je avoir le lien acheter les memes ?
bro you might want to check the links in the descriptions wth
Just wanted to know if you can do all you have done to your 330i rear wheel drive to the XDRIVE version and still make that power??
Great video, it should help me a lot if I need to replace my daughters valve cover.
Thank you for this video and build. I am trying to achieve the same on my c300 (w205) coupe setup.
Thats crazy how we both know james paul. Hes not a good dude tho
Looking forward to the next video! You’re a big pice of what has gotten my e92 to where it is!
There is no way around you need to change the valve cover
Awesome! 👍
You literally a genius!! make everything look so easy
what bout first gen b58s aka 3017 340?
Jesus....that stuff works like butter. I need that to clean my intake valve carbon build up.
This is B48B20A or Dar eu am B48B20B ? For B48B20A it is worth the investment or i should leave it like this. My car is 330e 2022
I have the EXACT same car, same options, same 2019, but in mineral gray and in the UK (so b48 vs b46). Please never stop making these videos. The g20 330i is hugely underrated.
If I want to send my light off to you get repaired DM me the cost.
Excellent video.
Hi there. Good information. Will this part part fit a e90 06 330i ?
Nice
The wheel on my M340i looks just like this. How is it different?
Pleaser answer if you see this question as its very important to me since I’m building one like yours, Is 360whp or 500whp equal how much in bhp? I’m planning to go maxed out so have to know these figures. Thanks brother, I appreciate it!
the best explanation i was looking for regariding my 5 second rattling cold start on my diesel. I was curious about the different openings inside the oil filter housing and thinking about the gaskets on the cage if changing them would fix my problem. I will do it tomorrow morning and update if that worked. But man thanks a million for this detailed explanation. SUBSCRIBED.
Would you be willing to sell your Esys files?
How to know b48 gen1 or gen2?
A tool list would be extra helpful 😊
I have never seen such a good DIY vid in my life. This dude should start doing everything possible and make videos about it😂
Why did see the 330e g20? Or 500hp+120hp (e)?
Anyone know how to do this on a 2021 x3 m40i that doesn’t have the key slot to insert the key? I’m having the same issue. Changed both key fob batteries and still, comfort access isn’t working and cannot lock/unlock using fob.
Is there any way I can pay you to do that job on my 330i G80? I'll pay you whatever. How do I contact you?
is a engine holder required?
Was the 474 numbers on 93 pump fuel only??
worked instantly for my e92. i was going crazy trying to get my key to work. great video
