Do love the Becky content, but would just inject a note of caution/common sense on a few bits for anyone that would watch this video before undertaking the same jobs themselves: - It would make more sense to drain the engine oil first whilst the engine is hot (it will be thinner and drain better) and then by the end the engine will be cooler, ready for the coolant drain. - Not to labour the point others have made, but in an engine like the S65 you really should stick to the OEM spec coolant (Ethylene Glycol based) rather than the red/pink (OAT type). Especially true regarding not letting them mix (as per my point below) - There are two Allen-headed bolts further up the block (under the V) which you need to remove to properly empty the engine of coolant. They are a pain the arse to remove and refit due to access, but trust me there is loads of coolant that comes out when you do. Having not done this, you will have sadly mixed red and blue coolant on quite a high ratio. May be worth doing another flush sooner rather than later. There is way more than 3 litres to change on the S65. It’s closer to 8 litres from memory. Please don’t think I write this to disparage your excellent work and content, I just want to make sure us DIY-ers know the full picture before we embark on these jobs.
I do not mean to be critical here, this is simply for your education. The proper BMW coolant is blue with a 50/50 mix of distilled water. The bleed procedure is as follows: put the car in accessory mode (key in position 2, do not turn it on), heat settings on high, fan on low, then push the gas peddle all the way down and hold for 20 seconds (you should then hear the coolant pump tun on, this means the bleed procedure has started). The entire bleed procedure takes about 20 min. Once done, check your coolant level and top off if necessary. I personally like to run the bleed procedure twice, just to be sure all the air is out.
Comment section heroes losing their mind over the 'wrong colour coolant'. You can use either - just don't mix them, which you haven't. Pink is better suited for larger engines, why you'll always see heavy duty vehicles like tractors and HGV's use it. 30 years of servicing I'd always use the pink stuff, lasts longer. As for using a vacuum gauge filling method I saw someone mention...this is a 2007 design car... not a blummin 2023 G80 - ie, it's not needed.
I did a coolant flush on my Alfa 3.2 v6 busso I put the blue coolant n I got slaughtered for not using the pink stuff I thought the same as you as long as you don’t mix the 2🤷🏼♂️
Yay! Queen B is back! :-) - get yourself a magnetic tray, keeps all your metal bits from going walkies and some come with magnets on the back so you can attach to metal panels (OBS not painted!)
I have an e92 2011 335is. I'm a professional mechanic. It will always be a love / hate relationship when working on any BMW LOL 😅😅😢....p.s i have put over $25k in parts on my car.... if your not willing to spend msrp or close to it on parts and maintaining. Don't BUY a BMW. Cheap oil and parts will cause way more issues than you would realize!!
Who recommended these liquids🙄 G48 is the correct cooling for the "old" BMWs👍 I`d rather use a 10W60 like Shell Helix Ultra Racing, Rowe Synth RS or Ravenol RSS👌
All these coolant comments, you can use whatever coolant you want, they will all be safe and fine to use. The only issues can come if mixing the 2. If its a drain and refill its a non issue. I use pink in both my bmws that had blue/green originally and have done for the last 10 years with no issues.
Those under trays are a pain in the butt to keep taking off and putting back on every time you want to make a small change under the car! (I appreciate their value but I took mine off the first time and put it in the garden shed about three years ago now) happy days..
ProTip: Buy a few pairs of oil drain plugs and change then every 3-4 oil changes. Thread strip over time. The coolant should be BLUE 50/50 mix with distilled water. Just because the M3 is pink, doesn't mean the coolant needs to be pink too. HaHa. Not sure the blleed process was right. Use the vacuum guage method. Reset the Oil Change Interval 12k o15k miles in the dash. Liqui Moly 10w60 8.8L for a S65. Don't need a BMW filter. Mann and Mahle OE Filters are fine. Oil cap leaks on older BMW E9X M3s. Replace with a BMW E46 M3 cap for a tigher fit. ///M logo on the cap.

Hi becky you have used the wrong coolant it should be the stuff you draind out BLUE NOT PINK also you draind the oil and replaced the drain plug then you released the oil fillter and old oil then draind back into the sump about a quarter of a pint . Always unscrew the oil filter after removeing the the drain plug so to remove all of the old oil Also 10w60 oil for your car is wrong it should be 5w30 but I stand to be corrected on that
Love the e92, timeless shape, have the e92 335 myself, but I’d love to upgrade to a M3 one day, just got to find one in the right condition for the right price. Great to see you on the tools Bec, being able to do your own maintenance is the key to owning an older BMW. Peace

11:10 Need to invest in a Torque Wrench so you don't over tighten those wheel nuts. Been there before (today in fact) with a 3 series and even with 3/4in bar we snapped three wheel bolts and rounded off two due to all of them being over tightened. Was a costly bill for the customer to rectify!!!!

I'd perhaps be thinking to myself that as BMW do not manufacture engine oil but recommend the Manol that its that's the one they tend to have labelled as theirs. 🤔

Says who? I have worked for Mobil, Shell, BP and Texaco and each one does an oil suitable for that vehicle. You're obviously brainwashed by the synthetic Mobil 1
Yet Becky said the oil she was using, Manol 1060 was recommended by BMW and I believe that at this time in the engine's life having travelled 90,000 miles that it needs a fractionally thicker oil than it would have done 14 years ago when it rolled off the production line. Having said that, the oil meant to be a 10w60 does look a bit thicker, maybe more like a 20/50
Everything about this video and liquids is wrong....including "Wheels all tight" ....Do you know the torque specs for the wheels? Not to mention the oil plugs and filter cap? Geezes..... At least the coolant color matched the car ahhahahaahahahahhahah

Yep 👍🏻 wrong coolant rip rubber seals and also hope that wasn’t the crush washer that dropped when dumping the oil 😢and new crush washer fitted

Cheap oil, wrong coolant. I guess the car will be sold before long so it doesn’t really matter 😊
Dont you have to get the bubbles out when pouring the coolant . Like pressurizing the system like mat Armstrong did with his g80
No, he did it for views. Simply run the car, make the coolant work and then top it up.
On newer cars yes, but this is a mid 2000's design, old school fill no problem.
