@@joelsalazar9011 glad to help! Totally doable to DIY, especially if you’re already going after the oil pan gasket. Just take your time and pay attention and you’ll be alright! -Mike
This is truly incredible video and I thank you for making this. I wish this was available a year ago when I did my job. I really struggled putting the timing chain sprocket on the oil pump. I literally had to install the oil pump into the sprocket and then fight with it to get those three bolts in. I bought the oil pump sprocket alignment tool so hopefully it will make it easier next time. I did notice that you did not use it. I'm wondering if you had to relieve the tension of the timing chain and that's why it was easier, or do you not do that? Thanks 🙏
@bavhaustv9795 not gonna bother. Watch a whole video to learn I now need to watch another one....Just to find out what I wanted to know on this video. 🤷
@@matk22 well for what it’s worth we made it pretty clear at the beginning of this video that it’s just a technical update to the previous video. Regardless, good luck with your search.
Dude awesome info about to save myself over 3k doing it myself compared to a bmw shop doing it for me

Thats a good one video, isn't recommended to change the chains as well?
BMWs are over complicated junk , wtf, that being said, excellent video
@@jonspence6782 haha they’re not so bad once you get to know them 🤣 And thanks for the positive feedback! -Mike
Still better than Audi
you dont need to replace the pump right?
@@strictlyvicious not to do rod bearings purely for maintenance reasons
