I hope this helps anybody out there. I tried my best to stay accurate to what my shop quoted me for these parts/labor. ALL PRICES ARE WITH LABOR FYI!! Much love, -SB!
another great video. AS a new e92 M owner, your channel is quickly become my "go to". Certainly helpful for understanding how to take care of these incredible machines. Now lets see some fun content showing how capable these cars are
I get the same “Limp Mode” code. Loss of power. If i drive normal speeds its fine. I notice it happens only when i gradually press the gas say i need more speed than regular driving like merging onto the freeway. If i floor it that code doesnt come up. I have a e93 335i. Is it the Throttle Actuators too?
you spend over 400 just for spark plugs? I have never had anyone do them when I can just do them myself.
17 and saving up for a m235i then going for e92 m3
PRECISION Dynamics, needs his own UA-cam channel seen the video rod bearings 👍👍
I’ve owned the e92m3 and the e46m3 and I can say that the e46 gave me no issues , but the e92 was a nightmare! I do miss the sound though , it did sound like a nascar at wide open throttle and the cold start with an exhaust is crazy!
PERFECT TIMING! just bought my first e92 M3 2 weeks ago, getting ready to change the bearings, now looking for more preventative maintenance
Emmanuel congrats what color ? Just picked up mine about 2weeks ago too . Enjoy cheers 🥂
Holly shit big ballers. Nice congrats to both of u im looking on a 6spd e92 m3 im in love.hopfully i bring it home soon
bro same😂 just got my e93 m3 like two weeks ago
I'm looking at getting one but what's the main difference between e90, e92, e93???
@@jasonmoore3074 e90 4door. E92 2door hard top weather its carbon fibr or sunroof. E93 convertible. All 4liter v8s with either 6spd manual or 7spd DCT.
You have officially scared me away from ever purchasing one of these! Great video though, good content / education for all
gotta pay to play
You’ll be fine.
Yeah I'm scared too, tired of paying for repairs on used cars. probably buying a new mustanf gt
just paid 2300.00 to keep my 2005 325ci running
@@N31ST bro nooo get one 😭
Keep in mind many ppl do little of this for 1st 100k miles. That 8 or $9k is spread out over 5 or 10 yrs in order to get 2nd 100k miles out of it from what I can tell. Throttle actuators destined to fail and obviously plugs but you can DIY actuators, rebuild them (replace gears) for 2 or $300 including much more durable after market gears.
I only have 55k miles on mine but zero issues so far, eventually will do some or all of these things no doubt, hopefully proactively as I like to road trip it.
I wish more info was provided here on mileages, condition of replaced bearings and so on.
I look for single owner cars as those that have 4 or 5--no one "owned it" they just rented.
I've had my 2011 M3 competition for 6 years now and it hasn't given me a single issue. Never touched the rod bearings or anything. Super reliable car.
Thank you so much Spencer. That was an amazingly thorough video. Also appreciate the referral to Precision Dynamics 👍🏼
Always a pleasure to hear KOHH teaching about engine parts
As someone looking into getting into the platform I really appreciated this video. Thank you sir.
Thanks for the educational tips and sharing professional advice to help the community. Keep it up and wish u all the success!
Couldn't ask for a more perfect video. Mike explained perfectly and didn't take 20 minutes, quick short understanding. atta boy spenc!
Currently looking to buy my first M car e90 m3! This video really helped me a lot understanding on what I will look at in order to keep the car running as it's intended. Literally the first car video on UA-cam I found that's simple, clear and well put together. Definitely gained a good subscriber Spencer, keep it up and looking forward to see more content in the future (e9x platform would be the best imo)!
Great video Spencer! Really appreciate the info! Mike seems to know his stuff!
These videos are great, very helpful. This platform is one of the best and you are killing it with the content. I can’t wait to get my hands on an E92 M3.
Definitely informative for those guys on the fence about maintenance on E90/E92/E93 M3.
Man that was one of the best videos pre-buy I've ever seen
thank you very much
This video was very helpful I have to do all those things u listed and now I know where to take it & how much money I’m gonna need been having my m3 For 4 years Now Best car i have ever owned 😊🔥
Excellent video Spencer! You know I’ve been following you for years on Instagram but just now found your UA-cam channel since I’m looking at a E93 M3
Ya idc, I’ll just have to learn everything on my own if I have to. I still want one!
Perfect timing.
Me and my friends are looking for s65 m3s and this is an amazing video
azan nascar still looking selling mine
Brilliant video and very useful. Nice to know the common issues and what to look for. Thanks for this mate. 👍
Great video Spencer! Always happy to educate everyone as well as assist the community to perform repairs/services on their own vehicles :)
Truong Mike Mai thanks brother. I appreciate your help with being in these videos!!!
Mike and Spencer you saved me a few hundred bucks by going with ACL bearings on my e92 after watching the RB video, appreciate that!
Wish ur shop was in my area!!!!
Awesome video! I've been enjoying my E92 M3 for years, love this car! Subscribed!
Thx so much man!!!
This video was great! I recently sold my f80 with the intention of buying an e92, this video was super informative and in depth!
I've got a E90 328I right now and have been debating on whether an M3 should be the next goal, this video helps that jump seem alot more realistic. Thanks for sharing!
Rod bearings are the only item not common amongst most other vehicles, every other item goes out in every other car. I’ve had Infiniti’s lose throttle bodies and idle control valves. To save cost I use FCP Euro. All parts come with lifetime replacement, all parts you buy. An example, after my initial purchase of an oil change kit, my oil changes now cost me $45 in shipping as often as I want to do them.
Have had my 2008 e93 M3 for almost 4 years and 30K miles so far taking it to 97K. Have done everything you mentioned as important except Idle Control Valve and Coil Packs. Car has been rock solid, expect to enjoy many more spirited drives for many years to come. Video is good info!
Your mechanic friend seems like a good guy
Good well put together video! Very eye opening, thanks for sharing
As a M3 owner i can only say thank you. I already did the actuators and fuel tank breath Valve to mine, looking to do bearings on next oil change.
😂
You're not embarrassed to write that?
@@aishefasani5635what’s so embarassing ?
@@iknowuknoww Owning an e92 M3 is like being a functioning crackhead...
Super cool video. Thanks for the heads up. Would like one down the road. Keep up the good work. Two thumbs up
Great work, Spencer. My 08 M3 is currently awaiting a BMW scan tool so I can figure out what caused the limp mode last week! It's getting that "old car" disease at 113K miles. But . . . I'll hang on to it, because it is my favorite car I've ever owned. Content like yours makes keeping the car a realistic proposition.
Thanks, Terry!!! Good luck with your car!
113k is new to me "old" was my 01 330ci with 340k miles still runnning like a champ to this day to the kid i sold it too
I recently purchased the 2011 E90 BMW M3 and thank you for the video! I wish I saw this before I purchase the car.
Was planning on gettin an e93, now I know what to expect. thanks
This was sooo thorough man, thank you.
De'Quan Palmer og course!
I LOVE this video man! could you please make more videos like this?
East Coast E92 M3 owner here. I did the rod bearing and bolt replacement at around 48k miles. Rod bearings, brake fluid flush, and oil change plus labor was $3400 for me
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing!
I’m from jersey bro! And wow I had no idea about these maintenance. I’m a e36 owner and w221 Benz Sclass. And looking to sell both cars and hopefully purchase a e92 by the spring time
I just picked up a 2011 E90 M3 in Interlagos Blue. This video is extremely helpful for new m3 owners like me! Thank you got contributing to the community
Did you sell it yet?
@@AntilleanConfederation Nope, still have it
Great info and props on your vids. Very well done! Might want to add brake vacuum sensors, O2 sensors, brake sensors, wheel speed sensors and brake pads, only about another grand or so...
great content! I just have the throttle actuator issues and I repaired the worn gears inside but the issue still existed. So I bought new actuators.
This reminds me of the old UA-cam! Thanks for the info!! Dope video!
Bad ass video ! Looking for a e90 will be hard coming from all Toyota’s and no maintenance haha! Thanks for the tips can’t wait.
I'm looking to buy an E92 M3 Manual 2008 well keep with 54000 miles And this helped me out a lot.
hope I’m successful enough to enjoy one of these beautiful m3s one day.
You will just keep working hard
You will bro, I wait almost 10 years and I just finally got mine last week
Very informative. Thank you!
Not as a complaint, but I bought a 2010 E90 M3 6spd with 80k miles. So, I paid $3k for rod bearing work as I did not have the lift installed at my home garage yet. ~$200 for valve cover gaskets etc, $1,600 for brakes all around, $400 or so on gearbox and diff fluid change (changed the diff input shaft seal as it was leaking). Replaced console buttons $210. Soon will be swapping clutch in the next 10k miles. All in all, the car is fantastic. I think it’s very well worth the purchase. Amazing car.
Well done, excellent info/video! Looking for a e92 comp. see u soon Mike!!!!
Thanks for watching!!!
Very insightful, just got a 328i coupe, going to get things done 1at a time.
so glad someone made a video about this and even included the specific costs of the maintenance. now i know what to look out for on used, higher mileage e9x m3's :)
Thanks so much!
Lol I don’t think I’m ready yet but this is a really good video 👍🏾
Great video!
It's nice to know what to do before buying one...
So much effort!! Appreciate that.. thanks.. ❤️🥰
Many get 70 to 100k plus miles with only actuators replaced if even that (also plugs obviously). It's not like you need to do all this stuff more than once in 150k miles or more. Bearings are the big one and a good insurance policy at least around the 100k miles, if well cared for.
Super informative video my man. I had to subscribe!
Thanks bro!!
You forgot to mention the Mechatronic Board. Great video. Your pocket might be frowning after all of the repairs but you will be smiling when driving
Brother Spencer. Your video was right on point as I'm searching for my next M3 now. Whether I choose another E46 or and E93, I know that both will need the same type of "love". A general idea of pricing, is better than guessing/worrying. Thanks
This man is a car guru
This was very informative..thank you
Great content man! I was lucky enough to have a CPO e92 M3 with a remaining warranty on it. I had most of what you talked about repaired at very little cost to my wallet.
Some other common “failures” with the e92 m3 are definitely leaking valve cover gaskets and the ac not blowing cold (evaporator going out $3k parts and labor).
I had most of the repairs serviced at a dealer so the costs were definitely up there. Warranty paid well over 14k.
Your videos are very informative dude. Keep it up.
Can’t wait to share my next M with you
What other issues did you have ?
Peyton Ponder lets see..
1.The a/c wasn’t blowing cold - replaced the evaporator
2. Leaking valve cover gasket, timing cover gasket, and thermostat
3. My first check engine gave me an increased emissions warning - dealer replaced bank 1 vanos camshaft, intake camshaft sensor, and intake camshaft solenoid.
4. My diff was discovered to be leaking - pretty much changed all the seals, nuts, bolts, gaskets, and plates
5. My power steering rack was leaking and power steering pump ran dry - replaced both steering rack and power steering pump
6. 2nd check engine light - increased emissions, replaced right hand O2 sensor.
7. Car was idling a little rough - replaced coolant temp sensor.
Pretty much sums up the list of repairs of my 2 years of ownership. All I had left was my rod bearings but then my baby got totaled 😢😢😢
RickySlickk damn that’s extremely tuff. I’ve been thinking of an e63 m6 but idk. Tryin to get one with maintenance done on it
@@RickySlickkhow much did it cost for warranty
Super useful video. Just looking to buy an e92 m3!
Thanks, Fernando!!
I had my m3 for yearssssss and nothing is wrong with it....depends on how you maintain the car...
Very useful info!💪💪
Great insight. Thanks Spencer
You’re welcome!
I had my ABS pump fail on me, apparently quite common as well, would of been £2000 for a new one but managed to get it refurbished for £320 👍
Super helpful! 👌
Yes I am thinking of buying one thanks for the love .🇵🇷🙏
Great info! Thank you!
Very helpful! Thank you!!
awesome video Spencer!
Scott Mashimoto thx bro!
Well done buddy 👍👍
Honestly, this video makes me want an e92 even more. For all you gear heads out there that love tinkering with their cars this is the perfect car for you. Go to a shop. Ask them that if you can help out in anyway you can. Learn and absorb all the knowledge, ask questions, pick their brains apart. People who are passionate about their trade love to share and educate others and it makes them even more happy knowing someone is learning from them. Something is very calming about working on cars, and something is even more calming and confidence boosting when you know you can do large jobs such as working on an s65. If you’re able to change rod bearings, throttle body actuators, doing valve adjustments, replacing key gaskets around the motor, doing coilovers and fine tuning suspension- what can’t you do? Yes it’ll cost you money. But if you’re truly a car lover then the e90 m3 is a car you’ll love to drive everyday, and when stuff goes wrong. You’ll want to learn how to repair it.
Nicely done ✅
You are the MAN! Thank you
Thank you for this!
This video is Gold! Saved...
Awesome Vid. just knew thing I caught was at 9:55, typically individual coils only run up to 6 amps each. Must've been thinking of the amperage of all the coils together, which don't run simultaneously anyways.
Appreciate the video! Thank You
As a SoCal M3 owner it helps doing some of the work yourself. I would like to say you missed talking about the thermostat usually goes around 100k. Love the my e90 thoughh
Great video Spencer!
Thanks!!!!
Great informative video!
Thank you!!
Very informative, thanks for sharing.....
super helpful, thx man
when it comes to BMWs in my case first gen R50 mini Cooper which is made by BMW I had to learn it the hard way. I bought 2003 mini with the unreliable 5 speed which later I learned had a design flaw and had a tendency of exploding and that is exactly what happened to mine which decided to explode one day. Luckily I found a good mechanic who swapped it with a newer 6 speed transmission. I have changed pretty much all the hoses and valves the a.c. thermostat water pump spark plugs wires etc. but I still love my unreliable little mini bit it's Not my daily driver though...( I daily drive a Toyota Prius which never breaks down) but I Won't sell my mini.. remember do Not buy an old BMW for daily driving.buy it as a fun weekend car. Very informative. Loved it
Great Video...and Information..thx
Thanks for sharing this! 2008 e92 owner here from the Philippines! I guess i need to order those parts in advanced. 😅
Of course! Glad it helped.
Thank you Spencer 👍👍
Hey thanks for the video! I have done a lot of research years ago.... Ended up buying an Infiniti Q50 3.7.... I want to either get the 2016 M3 or Supercharge this- because it sounds great.
good stuff, appreciated
What a nice video!
Thanks for making this
You're welcome, thanks for watching!!
What's also a weak spot is the CVT joint at the back of the drive shaft (~240$) , and I also have a lot of radial play on the left outgoing shaft of the LSD.
Thanks from the e9x m3 fam
This video is perfect for me because I m going to be picking up a e92 m3 soon!!!
Hell yeea me 2🙏🤞. Im gna go 6spd tho. Dct seems nice but i enjoy driving & theyr going to be little more "rare" so cheea.
very informational thank you
Thank you very much for the video. It will benefit a lot of poor people like myself who want's to buy a headache like this.
He's a super senior master BMW tech but he looks like he just turned 22. That's insane how much knowledge this guy has on these complex German machinery.
Thinking of getting this one 🤤 but damn that maintenance tho
This one is very informative. Throttle body actuators, idle control valve, coil, spark plugs and fluids can DIY.
Im looking to get an E92 M3. Right now I own E92 335i 😂
Great video! You have a new subscriber. Please do a maintenance & cost for a F30/80. I am in the market for a 340I. Thank you
Great Video
Great video bro. ✌🏼🇳🇱
In Belgium everything mentioned in the video combined cost 3000 euros OEM parts.
Aiii hope thats the same in the netherlans tho😏
I'm from Belgium and looking for an E9X M3. Only thing that's (besides the fuel consumption) is the Rod Bearrings & Throttle Actuator. You reckon we can change both those for €3k? That's actually quite decent.
