Wonderful video! perhaps coils and spark plugs next? :) btw I heard only to use bmw Blue coolant? as it has certain chemical compounds to make your waterpump/thermostat to last longer than the other coolants
Thanks for that Chadrick , yup will be doing plugs soon. Yes using genuine BMW coolant is always recommended, this is why I mentioned that I am using a slightly different coolant which is GS94000 approved which means meets the standards required.
@@DocMackGarage Thanks, with the 1/4 E10 setup I will sub :). also another question did you use 1/4 E10 socket + U-joint + extension? or is the unique tool that is E10 with inbuilt U-joint + extension?
@jonot8547 You are welcome. Thanks for Subscribing. Yup for the OFHG under the intake manifold I used a 1/4 extension, a u joint and a torque wrench although when using a U joint torque wrench reading is not fully reliable but gets the job done .
Very good video my friend! Can I ask, you mentioned the previous engine for this car is more reliable is that correct? I have been looking at possibly buying one. Does the previous engine have the same oil leak issue?
Thank you Safwan , the 1st Gen is more reliable , but it does have the same oil gasket and oil cooler housing issue , however the valve cover on the 2nd Gen is plastic and the valve cover on the 1st Gen is magnesium which is better and less prone to warping.
@@DocMackGarage thanks for the reply. I just viewed your e90 video with all the issues/concerns on the engine. Is it safe to say, if I buy a used e60 and the gaskets haven't been replaced to go ahead and just do them?
@Safwan Abdul Razak You are welcome, yes I would say it is best to carry out preventative maintenance, however you can also check of it is leaking by running your finger around where there gasket is sitting .
@@DocMackGarage hmmm yes I think definitely will have to have a look and make sure. A bit of an odd question but do bmw/Euro cars use different type of tools when fixing/working on cars? I've only dabbled with Japanese cars so that's all I'm use to...
@dkrawk8309 That is an oil cooler . The cooler has a gasket, and that is attached between the cooler and the oil filter housing. 😎 Please consider subscribing to my UA-cam Channel for free if you haven't already to show your support
Not necessary as you leave the car overnight for the car to cool, coolant pressure to go down, and oil to sink down to the sump. My engine oil was still good.
Possibly , maybe you ambient at temperature is going, your fan is faulty or water pump has packed it. Make sure to subscribe to my UA-cam Channel for free if you haven't already.

did you reuse the bolts for the oil filter housing?
@jonot8547 Hi , I did reuse them as they are not torque to yield, but would recommend getting new ones. Please Subscribe 😃

@Safwan Abdul Razak That is correct euro cars need different tools to those that Japanese cars use.
Im really confused about in the name of all that is holy that aluminum pos in front of the filter housing
@dkrawk8309 That is an oil cooler . The cooler has a gasket, and that is attached between the cooler and the oil filter housing. 😎 Please consider subscribing to my UA-cam Channel for free if you haven't already to show your support
@@DocMackGarage right........opener hoods in 2 of my e90s, opened closed, opened closed......still couldn't see it
@dkrawk8309 What variant of 3 series do you have 320i 323i 325i 328i or 330i ?
Did you find it was not necessary to drain the oil and/or coolant?
Not necessary as you leave the car overnight for the car to cool, coolant pressure to go down, and oil to sink down to the sump. My engine oil was still good.
Where Online can you buy the 8mm E-Star Flex Wrench from?
I bought it from a local company called Supercheap Auto .
@@DocMackGarage Thanks, I wish we got one of those here. I've checked all the Local Tools Wholesalers and nothing. Cheers!
@@royong956 You are welcome.
Do you know why my e90s fan is so loud
