PTFE spray in cable sleeve helps prevent freezing.

Yes it is :)

Power FM? Star FM? 😉

I can't remember anymore, but probably Power or Skyplus

That gearbox is pretty much dead anyway, probably the reason this X5 was so cheap.

I'm afraid the shipping cost to US would be insane, but i guess it depends on size/weight. Might be some kind of import duty tax also?

Indeed, the best engine to swap into almost anything.

Yeah, forgot about that, but this car i'm selling for parts, so not gonna bother with the glow plugs.

It was only a few degrees minus that day, but it seems to have dead glow plugs.

It's RHD, i bought it only to dismantle it and sell as parts. It's seen better days, i drove it home ~400km and that's it, haven't driven it more. No idea about what tune it has, i'll probably read the tune off of it before dismantling.

@@TheKarlShow ok I was trying to figure out where that plate was from. I never know which countries use RHD or not🤦🏾

Yeah, we don't use RHD here, even tho', could register and use it if i wanted to, but i don't want to 😅 But it's a UK plate on it, i bought it from Latvia tho'

Good battery and working glow plugs go a long way :)

They do indeed! It was -26°C And it fired up after about 10-15 seconds of starting.

Nah, this car is destined to be scrapped anyway, so not gonna do any repairs on it.

You just need good compression and battery

@@stitchthekelpieAnd a starter that doesn't bind, unlike the one on this E70.

It was only around -2 celsius when i made the video, but it's -11 today 😃

Oh yeah, forgot to add the temperature. It was only around -2 celsius both days, but it seems the problem was battery and fuel having drained back from being parked for so long.

:((

Sorry mate, i've got no idea how to really edit footage yet :(

@@TheKarlShowyeah hella literally boring

She learned her lesson, she liked that car. But that car is toast, cheaper to buy another E46 coupe than to fix it now, as i don't have a car body straightening bench. I might try using my hydraulic crane truck's boom tho', as i'll probably still keep this car for ice racing or something, and it would be lovely to be able to fit new windshield and door glass.

Yeah, this car is toast, even tho' it drives fine still. I might straighten it a bit and still use it for ice racing, but not sure.

That'd be a bit extreme, i can only blame myself for letting her drive a RWD car in the snow, while she has only had a driver's licence for less than half a year. Fresh studded tires and traction control made me have too much faith. I did train her on a frozen lake last year with the same car, but i guess she had forgot already.

Right bro materialistic things come and go a good hearted woman will last a lifetime and beyond

Everyone can drive a manual, that's how you get a licence in the first place, we ain't muricans lol 😂

Yeah, of course, there's another video after i fixed it. Got rid of the car a long time ago already tho'

how can you get rid of M57 :D@@TheKarlShow

I got way too many cars, nowhere to put them all 😅

Nothing wrong, it will smoke for some seconds or minutes but is not issue for the engine, many diesel engines dont have heating elements

Can't recall, but i think it was from starting it with the intake dismantled when i replaced some gaskets, i was too lazy to plug in the laptop that day.

It's a W211 E class wagon from 2005, E280cdi, with OM648 engine. It's kinda buried in snow in a different location currently, but i'll make a cold start video of it soon too.

When it comes to vehicles, it's a cold start even at +20 degrees, if the engine is at ambient temperature.

Could be, but 525d's are slow as hell also. I don't have that car for a while now tho, got a W204 C320cdi 4matic for it as a trade and sold the W204 quite some time ago already 😄

Don't you mean "passed it"? No.. through *points at footprints over rear seats*

It pops up for like 10 sec after starting and then disappears. Has been like that since it was new.

Yeah, i'm aware, but replacing the glow-plugs worked and now i already got rid of the E61 last week.

@@TheKarlShow I have same problem but in Lima is 17°C

BMW 👍

Yeah, DPF delete and a small tune
