Most folks don't understand how rare these models are. The OG X5M. 2 year-run - ~3,250 total units in North America market. This example here is 1 of 205 in the USA with Imola Red and Black Leather. Made back when ///M stood for Motorsport and not Marketing. Peak BMW era.
@@T_B_G_23 exactly!
your camera postion is pretty lousy.
Did this a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the feed line and thermostat are also apparently leaking. Not to mention the oil filter housing which completely went. Still love this car 😆😭
@@snowlover71 yeah the oil filter housing completely failed on this car a few weeks after this repair unfortunately
Gorgeous car man! It obviously found the best person to enjoy it and take care of it.
Yeah, I’m trying. 😂
An Imola red 4.6is is near impossible to find now…. Just remember, the closer they are to stock, the better they actually are. I just installed brand new OEM shocks and struts on my Estoril 4.6is and it’s incredible. I would definitely go this route. Take care of it as they’re aren’t many left.
@@travisspencer8054 same could be said about the Estoril being impossible to find! I’ve been trying my best to upkeep it. Bought it with a bad transmission and rebuilt that myself. Have had to do a ton of other miscellaneous work aswell. Haven’t gotten around to timing chain guides or anything like that but mines at 230k and sounds healthy so they must’ve been done prior. Unfortunately now dealing with power steering issues.
@ definitely do the guides even if they seem ok. It’s cheap insurance. One day they’re fine, the next they break apart and it destroys the engine. 4.6 M62’s are Hard to find. For the power steering, I’d replace all the lines and the reservoir as it has a filter that clogs up. My power steering pump went out and sent metal through the system so I had to get a new rack as well.
@ I have the power steering diagnosed already. It’s relating to the servitronic system and is some sort of electrical issue. Either something wrong with the General module because that’s what’s sends the signal or the power steering torque converter solenoid which is a $2000 part for a small sensor. Power steering works at low speeds and goes at at high speeds
Bro, what did you do to close the transmission back together? I replaced the clutch but now I cant close it
Same thing just happened last night. Wake up in the morning with a green puddle. Checked the expansion tank fittings and bleeder all look okay. Looked over behind the radiator and lots of green dried coolant on one of the lines. Identified it as the turbo coolant return. Gentle squeezing at the rubber connection to the metal line identified the crack. Turns out it's exactly the same as your video. I liked the "this is not a DIY video" that's for sure. Too bad you're not in San Diego you could replace mine!
My coolant feed line is stuck :(
Damn I miss mys .. sold it to soon .
Mufflers and resonators bolted up?
Just had this happen, refill coolant light came on.. topped it off with coolant then when I drove the car the next morning it gave me the refill light again. So I let the car sit overnight for it to cool down next morning. I checked my coolant tank and there was no coolant so I came to the assumption that I have a coolant leak somewhere. Went to my local BMW because luckily I purchased extended warranty until 100 K miles. BMW told me it’s my turbo coolant lines. Also they are replacing my oil filter housing gasket as well.. 😬
Do you need to remove turbos to do this job or? Just curious.
@@f30angel that’s good to hear! Both of those jobs are very common on this motor and will happen eventually on most of these
@@f30angel no you do not
how do you test the starter to ensure it is broken and that it's not the alternator or the battery?
Would have thought the whole backpipe and muffler to gone missing. But it just tore open.
@@bertbergers9171 right haha
Yeah Sherlock.
Nature just gave it a cat delete😂
@@m4vr1ck literally 😂
That bih straight piped 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well they got a free straight-piped modification😂. It’s the perfect decoy if the police pulls them over for illegal exhaust
I had the same exact thing happen on my 2007 Outback. We tried welding and doing small patches but it kept breaking at different points before the entire back half of my exhaust fell off. I’ve got a 2019 Impreza now and I’m going to be sure to wash the undercarriage regularly
You can wash it all you want, it'll still rest out. It's a Subaru, they're notorious for rusting out.
Just keep it in the garage if possible
Sounds amazing!
Sounded like your average STi
If your average STI has an exhaust leak.
Sounds good, leave it
Leave it lol
I was going to say the same thing😂
I thought the cat got stolen.
@@charlesholland8073 that’s what I initially thought aswell
Sounded good
Keep it like that
How much does it cost to replace the starter motor?
How much does it cost to replace the starter motor?
My Honda Dealership just quoted me $1350 Canadian…I just about shit myself but after researching how it’s done I can see why. At the same time I’d care less about OEM and aftermarket could do the trick but it’s all about price gouging people these days..
can you do it while engine is running
and you wiggled it through the passanger wheel well?
@@queensman17 correct
Did you remove the fuel relay or fuse and start the engine before removing the high pressure fuel pump?
That’s always a good idea but not necessary. You can slowly crack the fuel line loose with a rag over it to catch the fuel!
Thanks bro!!!! Best video!!! Very self explanatory 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
Do you happen to have the torque specs or the pattern for rebolting?
I don’t have the torque specs but definitely want to tighten the bolts in a cross pattern. The bolts are small and don’t need to be torqued super tight. I’d say around 15 ft/lbs
Do you remember how many miles were on this vehicle at the time this change?
@@jasoncurry2515 about 120k miles
The one I’m doing tomorrow has 70k
Thanks for uploading this video! Also, how much did you charge to do this job?
I can’t remember at the top of my head but I would say about $3-400
Awesome I have one and started it today after a year in 1 spot and 6 years in another
How long was the extension you used
@@Ivansito187 about 2 1/2 feet
@@M5xMechanixI was about to ask the same
Get a pickle fork. Thank me later
This was so helpful!! Thanks!
Hey johnny. "Get out the tannerite"
U gotta hold ur tongue just right
Oh you never worked at a car shop. Coworkers pull the craziest jokes on each other.@shannonlenz1098
The leaky headlight washers on my E46☠️
Yup I remember doing the front end suspension on my 08 Tahoe one side only took like an hour while the other side took a ridiculous 3 hours because the lower control arm decided to be stubborn.😂
Plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.😆
7 hours in I would have expected the angle grinder
Oh gosh I can tell! I had to change my cv axles.. I thought one day was enough!! It took 2 whole days and some back and forth to harbor freight and autozone 😅
When you’ve got aluminum suspension components next to whatever you’re trying to get at 😬 it’s the gamble you gotta take sometimes
Gotta simulate thousands of miles of driving some how 🤷♂️
This was me yesterday and it worked breaking loose lower ball joints😂
Always comes loose right when im about to turn the mallet on myself
Bruh i went to replace the upper ball joints in the back of my car and theyre mounted sandwiched between the body and subframe im still coming to terms with this bs.. i said hell nah a week ago im finna go get some milk.
