As a bmw tech I neglected mine as well and didn’t know it was leaking that bad I just kept topping it off .. recently did the oil change and I had 3.5 quarts 😂😅I felt like a customer I was so concerned saw some flakes in the oil but it was fine after the oil change engine still sounds strong . Will be taking care of this today .i find your videos to be more helpful then those really old repair instructions 🤣
Thank you, appreciate your feedback, those are not very popular cars nowadays but in my opinion one of the most reliable engines and cheap to maintain😉
Thanks for Sharing all you know. I don´t have one like that but it doesn´t matter. Is good to know anyways in case a friend does have one like that and have no idea on how to do it. Take care buddy!
There is no oil filter housing gasket on m62 engine since oil filter housing is separated. On n62 engine either although there is an alternator bracket gasket and it’s completely different job
Ok.. thank you for your speedy response.. when i start my vehicle oil is over flowing from the top housing ..I replaced the filter and o-ring but oil is still being pushed out from the cap as if there's no o ring .. @@Zeiten thank you
Great video as usual ! How about ATS Chemical 505CRO for direct injection? It's an oil system flush- would it cause any issues with seals or gaskets. 2015 N20. Thank you!!

@@Zeiten Can I assume petrol engines are better choice for stress free ownership or should I also consider diesel variants without Turbo. I drive very less ( about 10,000 kms in a year- majority is city drive and once or twice in a year a long distance vacation which should be like 3000 km trip- hot weather throughout the year in my place).

Question? Really ned advice. We have 2 - 2007 X5 3.0si n52 engines. (97k & 102K) miles noticed that both had leaks starting on the Oil Filter Housing. Was able to swap both gaskets on the one without issue the 2nd the lower torx bolt the M8X28 (by the mickey Mouse ear hose mount) is frozen and I can get it removed. Unable to get enough leverage and worried about breaking he head off. The other Torx bolts came out with no issue so I cant change the gasket against the block? Any thoughts? Just break it and then try and remove it?
Option a) remove the fan you’ll have more room option b) get e10 wrench and point it to the top of radiator (slightly above it) put a pipe on it and break it lose
I did mine diy pretty easy. I've got a complicated issue which i cant figure it out. I replaced my lambda sensor bank 2 on e90. Now ive got lambda sensor codes which it wasnt showing its p31 p37 2c9c error. I then replaced both sensor just a precaution but error remains. Please help. Reset was done from my cheap Bluetooth diagnostics tool.
Just wanted ask which petrol X5 inline 6 to buy . 2005 E53 or a 2007 E70 . Which one is more reliable and less expensive to maintain. Are there more reliability issues with E70 than E53.
E53 would be more reliable and cheaper to fix, simple example parts cost for water pump and thermostat on e70 n52 are around 600$ for e53 m54 it’s gonna be about 100$
@@Zeiten here in Australia there are more 4.4 v8 . Saw one with history of service ( 2 ownership) . 138kms odo. Kind of tempted to buy. Are these an absolute no-no cars for reliability. Like long distance travel ( 700kms-800kms) drive in a day is the kind of drive I do occasionally( plus weekend grocery shopping drives- 15-20 kms). We have the glorious sun at very high temperatures . Are these 4.4 v8 an absolute nightmare.

Hey great videos, do you have any videos oh hot to fix a stuck moonroof for a 2009 X5 E70? It’s stuck on one side…
So funny I have those parts removed as well!
In your opinion why filter housing gasket fails every 6 months?
I just found out you are located in the LA area wondering how I could reach you for some services if that’s possible ?
Sure type in zeiten on yelp you’ll find everything there
My coolant line broke I replaced it now my car won’t start can this be the issue
I’m planning to buy a used 2007-2009 BMW X5 E70 petrol engine. Are these models less expensive and reliable to maintain. Please advise
Inline 6 would be the best choice, no turbo = more reliability, so stick with 3.0si/3.0i or xdrive30i same engine

Easier to loose fit Vanos line to the housing while it is out of the car. Less fiddly than trying to install it after, then just tighten the banjo.

For god sake 900$ for changing filter housing gasket😯
Im in Iraq the Mechanic's here change it for 20$😂
$500 to $700 for a 2.5 hour job ?
Yep, LA prices, dealer charge probably would be around 1000-1200$
The stealership wants to charge $100 dollars for that part. 😵

скажи, а ошибку эта проблема какую то кидает? и если вариант с заменой, срезанием старого клапана и приклеиванием нового - такое делал когда то?
That’s ridiculous
