Absolutely second guess professional mechanics. As an example, I work in IT and I second guessed 2 mechanics who couldn't solve leaking swivel hubs on a Landcruiser. The second mechanic persisted in rebuilding both hubs after I told him they had already been rebuilt and the only logical problem was the diff housing. He knew best, ignored my observations and took my money which resulted in leaking hubs again. 3rd mechanic, a differential & drivetrain specialist confirmed my diagnosis and problem fixed with a new diff housing. Bunch of arse clowns I tell ya. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from OZ

Thanks for the Canadian perspective. Super helpful and helped me get it all installed with minimal issues.

Looking to upgrade turbos. Can you recommend the 17T or a reman turbo? I’m doing a rebuild and have the FBO. 500-600 goal, but already got the 5.5 inter cooler (from a part out). Liked and Subscribed

amazing accomplishment

Awesome video man. I just hit one year on my 2019 Msport and I love driving this car. I had to read the manual because there is so so much to learn about it. No issues except the Active shutter issue which there is a BMW bulletin about it. BMW extended the warranty on certain models that had active shutter motor issues. Google it and see if that applies to your car.

So I’m in the the market for either a 2019 540 50k miles or less the bank quoted me $350-400payments, my other option is getting a brand new 2021 fully loaded m440i w/ 15k miles the bank quoted me $830 exact a month my LEGIT question to u is, is it worth it to get a 540 with 40-70k miles or just go brand new and get the m440i still under warranty (I can afford both but if the 540 is worth to get that high of miles then I would rather save $500 and go with it so I’m asking for you personal experience” I have to pick one by next month don’t wanna make a long term regret

Outstanding work men. Child arm. That one was good.

Awesome video, please make more maintenance videos related to the x5d

how did jb4 save the motor a couple of times? how does it compare to MHD?

You don't need to prove nothing mate, they also know how to do it but all the garages will try to rip you off, all of them are asholes, well done mate anyway and this kind of cars go to 1 million km easier 😊

Nice to see you have this win. I have the 2006 E53 and exactly the same symptoms developed after six months. Like you I followed a set path of fault finding, but my issue was not one of always being present. In fact it was so intermittent that after 14 months I was ready to sell it in outright disappointment. As a last resort, I took off the engine cover to try and wiggle the electrical leads to the injectors and see if there was any fault...Nada . . Zip! I then had the bright idea of there being a possible vacuum leak as by now, the behavior was mimicking that of a failed coil pack in an SI engine, however, I removed the injector leads and sprayed each one with contact cleaner, let it dry and clipped them back into place, then without the engine cover I took it for a drive. Bloody marvelous, it was a born again evangelist singing hallelujah! For three weeks I drove around without any problems and then I decided to put the engine cover back on before someone decided to borrow it and all was good...UNTIL, the day I really needed it. I headed down the expressway and a small hiccup, hardly noticeable, or was it? Nah I'm just paranoid, then just before the next exit it simply died at 100km/h and then come back to life again. Now I was concerned, but to late I missed that turn off...bugger. Taking the next one irrespective now and return back to home. Grab the other car and get the bloody task done. Now I did think that it was strange that this happened when I put the engine cover on, but it is only a plastic cover, so I shrugged that idea off. I guess I will have to do that vacuum check after all. New gasket seals were ordered and oven clean as well. Mine does not have swirl flaps so that was good and the EGR delete was done as well. I would like to know more about that pipe you fitted through and how you overcame the warning message? Now here is where we find the kicker, early on I had the Turbo pipe burst and a fine oil mist had sprayed all down the left side of the engine bay. Like you, I tend to sit in there when I am working, my back is rooted after 30yrs of infantry type work in the Australian Army and I was not going to bend in to reach the back, so I decided to wash out the engine bay. The thing was that the car always started first go, idled fine...this leads to something LoL! So with the engine running after de-greasing it, I washed the bay out with a bucket of mild soapy water and a brush. As I was washing over the engine cover from the back to the front and from the left hand side, the engine suddenly cut out as I passed over that BMW badge on the cover. I repeated this movement and the same reaction, curious I then took the brush and just let it rest on the badge in the cover, sure enough it stopped the engine. Starting up again was no problem and again I moved the brush over the cover and again it cut out and then resumed. OK, no brush just my hand and I touched the badge carefully, nothing...I applied the slightest pressure and the engine cut and as I released it start ed running normal again. I got the wife to video this and I sent the copy to my Uncle who works on Euro cars and he was baffled at well, he had never seen anything like this before. By now the engine was quite warm so I applied pressure to the very front of the engine cover and it bent down completely, cutting the engine out totally again. Now I had my answer, I started it up one more time, shut the bonnet and turned on the AC to full, as soon as the AC fan for cooling came on the engine began to falter and then it stopped. It seems the plastic cover was getting soft in the heat and combined with the fan and road speed it was bending down and applying pressure to the wires of the number one injector as well as the fuel rail leads. With the sharp bend in them it was probable that they were broken wires and the pressure was enough to cut one cylinder first then the whole fuel rail. I bought some bolts and made a stand off set for the front, to raise the cover from the harness so I could get it to my Uncles garage, a good four hour drive. He made up a new harness using wire of silver and Stainless steel cores wrapped in heat proof silicone outer. Fitted it throughout the whole injector and fuel wiring system and reinforced the engine cover with alloy right angle sections to stop it bending. It hasn't missed a beat since then, but he did tell me that my glow plugs need to be replaced. Injectors are the easy ones, glow plugs are the mongrels. These are always on, part of the anti pollution, preventing unburnt fuel from escaping. They only torque down at 15lb, but the recommendation is to use a torque wrench to undo them set at 18lb (well some figure like that), so that you do not screw them off and have a big hole where the glow plug used to be. Also, the module that controls it is worth changing at the same time. I am yet to get that done. Sorry about the long winded story, but it is hard to explain an intermittent fault and how it was accidentally discovered without all the detail.

I daily-ed an E30 for 2 years and put 30,000 miles on it before needing to sell. Miss it all the time.

I’m getting a car this weekend. It’s so hard to decide between the m340i and 540i. The m340i I’m going to check out has 46k miles and valued at 39k, the 540i has 34k miles and going for 33k. Can anyone help me decide? I’m leaning more towards the m340i because of the additional horsepower but can anyone give me some advice?

This is a 8hp45 right and how true is that will hold up to 700wtq Also i’ve hear theres 2 gens gen 1 up to 2016 and latest 2016 and up is gen 2 and lil more stronger is that true? Thanks!

How did you code the M logo with the alpina cluster. When I code the alpina cluster in bimmercode it doesn’t let me put the M logo

I guess with all the heat in the hot V, why didn't BMW barrier coat the hot side pieces to reduce the radiant temps? I guess the engineers chose violence when they designed the N63.

nice video, how much grip did it get?

I have took m57 engines apart so many times, the injectors are never any problem to remove. However you should of removed them all and had them reconditioned.

That interior would deserve a pair of m sport seats in that fabric as they are pretty rare and worth the hassle.

Great car! Had mine for 3 years. Loved it. The engine, chassis, chef's kiss. Did stage 1 Dynan at local dealer. A bit firm with the M sport package and the wheels are too large. Had to replace 2 wheels due to dent. The biggest problem mine had, and the reason I got rid of it, was the AC. It was leaking, and to fix it the whole dash had to be removed. We are talking $5k+ overall. I heard this is a common issue on pre 2019. Still loved it and would get a 2021 or newer again.

Come la mia... la amo ❤❤

Love my 540, still got lots to do

Stock engine internals??

With an actual lsd would be nasty

we don’t care

I actually had a similar issue on my e90 335i. I replaced my dme as well and had to get it coded and after getting it coded and the car wouldn’t start and just crank. I talked with a local shop and he told me to upload my MHD tune that I had on the car before and that fixed my issue and then I had to replace my fuel rail sensor like you guys did. Still have the stupid boost pressure short to ground code though that was there before so I got get that figured out, and I don’t think it’s the sensor cause I replaced that. This car is so annoying to work on but it’s fun to drive though.

It’s all wheel drive all X ‘s are all-wheel-drive

I would just lower it with a Pro kit Eibach with minimal lowering like 25mm lower front 20mm lower rear enough to just level the car. Still comfortable and usable without worrying about scuffing the front lip.

The stock wheels with everything blacked out....... looks awful!

I got the F10 with a diesel, will drive it until I die.

Less than $4000 Canadian pesos, nice job .. love it when these cars get a second lease of life 👍

What n55 brake booster vacuum line is that? That’s a nice tuck under the intake manifold. I’m in the process of doing a foward facing manifold on my n54 and I’m trying to find that line from the brake booster to the hpfp to install the same way you did.

It’s fun until you hit a curb 😂

Something to be aware off: The xDrive rear driveshaft is thinner and weaker than the RWD versions. Be careful not to break it when messing around with higher friction surfaces! Otherwise, sure is fun!

Peasant canadian fuel? *laughs in australian* Our fuel is garbage. I have a rear wheel drive 540i “luxury” with adaptive suspensive, it is soft however does handle the rebound exceptionally well. I am currently looking into having it make more noise.

How do you like xdelete so far? Are you running any additional transmission tune on XHP??

Nice! I own a 4.8is, but have been curious about the diesel E70...this video helps!

Hey brother happy new year to you and yours wishing you a healthy happy prosperous 2025 and beyond

I have 2011 335i and looking at a 2022 540i. I know you went from an e90 to a G30 and was curious how how that transition went.

M47 and M57's are just the greatest bmw diesels.

Need a X5D in my life 😭

My man out here living his best life! Awesome soundtrack btw. 👍🏼🇺🇸🧂

Great now I want a 35D!

Awesome content 🎉 ALWAYS 😂🎉🎉
