Because of this video I bought my quickjack, changed my three coolant hoses, oil cooler/filter gasket, changed the serpentine belt, changed the oil and coolant. Never wrenched on a car but somehow this man convinced me to do it. And now it’s done.
2009 e93 335i owner here. ARM charge pipe, tial BOV, ARM catless downpipes, wagner 5in stepped intercooler, MHD stage 2+. Love the car, keep those wheels, they're my favorite on our cars. Hindsight is 20/20 but you should've gone ahead with the NGK step 1 colder plugs if you're planning to tune past stage 1.
Amazing to see you. Getting hands on with the cars bro come a long way and that's what makes the channel so appealing to enthusiasts. You started with reviews but can see the way you branched out.
Excellent video, I just stumbled across your channel, & have had my N54 just a year. Done belt, tensioner, top hose, coolant flange (Mickey mouse) upgrade from plastic to aluminium. Pcv valve upgrade to aluminium, spark plugs, oil, filter, gearbox oil. Power steering fluid change as I have a buzzing sound from power steering pump (checked with stethoscope) that makes a wurring sound as you press the gas. Not very louder, can just hear at high revs in 1st & 2nd. Steering is fine, with no noises, so can only be pump bearing, but car only on 26k miles.
Good start, a couple of other maintenance bits I’d do is get the valves walnut blasted then put an oil catch can on it. Upgrade the charge pipe, get rid of the panel air filter for dual cones, then intercooler, de cat down pipes then finally a tune
You bought a BMW with the infamous N54! Be ready to fork out some serious cash! I had a 135i with that engine and boy it was fast, but damn my whole savings went into it to keep it running🤣
The fact that there was some strange bolt on the corner of the Valve cover is totally a sign that this was not done right or was just removed and replaced incorrectly. This would cause the troubles of the oil in the spark plugs for sure. Great job!
@@TRHamza 100 percent next thing should be a unit.. I'm a big fan of matt Armstrong.. ur exactly the same started.off on driveways Gardens etc then on up 2 units etc big up ur self
Really look forward to watching your video's, and much congratulate you on your growing presentation, mechanical and editing skills - please keep them coming!!
Great engines, when they were new or have been maintained correctly. Not worse than many other BMW engine designs. Great to see that someone gives one with higher mileage a go!
No wonder dealer servicing is so expensive. It takes longer to get at 'service items' than to change them... doh! Great Video, really well put together - well done.
Do the gearbox oil mate makes a huge huge huge difference you want bmw mtf-lt2 or 75w80 Gl4 do the diff too that’s 75w90 make sure you get correct one depending if you have an lsd or not
Yep agree with this. And don't do what I did and try be flash with fancy oils. Go with LT2 (or whatever your gearbox label has written on it). I ran fancy oil for about 20 miles before taking it back out 😂
Odd request but any chance the budget allows for an audio upgrade for this car? BMWs that don’t come with hk have some very poor audio and might be something of interest to quite a few people. Just a thought. Would be nice to see though. Thanks for the vids and keep up the good work.
almost a good thing the junction hose (top radiator) went, mine literally split in half where it connects to the oil filter housing, yours would have gone eventually too. There's also a mickey mouse flange coming out of the cylinder head which you can replace with a metal one, definitely do that as well
Hi mate good video really enjoyed watching. Just wondered what you do for work ? You seem very knowledgeable within the car scene and I'm guessing UA-cam ain't the only thing you do 👍🏻
I think the 335i has so much potential. The block itself is very strong and with a single turbo conversion can easily take 700hp+ just need to rip out and replace everything around the engine which causes these cars so many issues
Noticed a decent amount of oil down the front of the engine, make sure to get both the Oil Filter Housing Gasket and Oil Cooler Housing Gasket done soon!
the noise from the front, oil filter housing is it? possible gasket leak? not followed you for a couple of years, see your getting your hands dirty nowadays :P looking forward to seeing more on this!
Yo Hamza, wheres all your old videos gone? I haven't watched your channel in a while. Have I missed something? Last time I saw a video was when you had your accident.
If you think you've lost it with the N54, try the N43. And after everything you've spent, it still doesn't go anywhere with 99sec to 100 and looks the same.
Bro where did you get the quick jacks? Costco? I think you should do a little video on them 😉😉. I’ve been thinking about getting some myself. Are yours the 5000?
Fingers crossed you haven't got a leaking rear main seal. Seeing as it's super wet round there. It's a common problem but usually on high mileage engines.
Bro youre gonna want to change out them bosch plugs for some B58 ones, once you push stage 2 youll be misfiring for sure. Put in a reg for M140 at ECP and get some NGK B58 Plugs
Ahhh.. Good ol N54 maintenance
Good to see you here man! Watched a bunch of your 335i stuff 👌🏼
haha good luck completing all the service jobs before you die
Its mad how much Hamzas progressed in terms of getting his hands dirty working on the cars
Another quick vid brilliant work Hamza. .. Defo getting sharper and more productive keep it up mate
Thank you mate 👍🏼
as a bmw tech myself im so happy that a DIY'er is doing all the repairs the proper way
Your content is so relatable, and that’s why I subbed. Keep up the good work mate💪🏾
Love what you been making recently
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the recent stuff man 👌🏼

I’ve got a 130i with the n52 if you’d like to meet up sometime and compare them that would be pretty awesome as they have many similarities
Actually love how it’s a SE spec and not an M Sport. Proper Q car
What’s a Q car

Are you an ex-mechanic? Or you just learnt as a hobby? Either way - impressive knowledge!
Thanks man! And no just learning as I go along really, just love researching parts/how to change bits
@@TRHamza That's awesome. I don't have the balls to open an engine up but at least I can watch you do it instead 😂
@@milinddixit6583 if you own a bmw go for it, they are so easy to work on and plenty of diy's on UA-cam
@@bigash_n54 I forget where all the different bolts go and end up with spare ones at the end.
@@kryptoniteee take pictures of every single step, that way you can go ahead and take a look at the pictures. This Trick saved me a lot of time ✌🏻
Just waiting for him to do all the Stage 2 mods, then drop a video right after saying he's going with a big single. It's inevitable.
😂 Gotta experience the twin life first!
You bought a BMW with the infamous N54!
Be ready to fork out some serious cash!

Keep up the regular uploads now to tune into this one
Plenty to come 🤞🏼
@@TRHamza if I can suggest maybe one day in future restore something old mark 1 golf (has its my favourite car) but keep it up man ur doing perfect
@@BobMarley-cq5un Would be cool when I have indoor unit/garage space for something like that!

I don't have a BMW... But I felt the need to watch this whole vid.
And I'm looking forward to the next installment! Keep up the decent content man 👌
Great engines, when they were new or have been maintained correctly. Not worse than many other BMW engine designs. Great to see that someone gives one with higher mileage a go!
Hats of to you for doing the job properly with decent parts from the outset!
Top vid bro , I love my e93 335i sport,manual, stock , 57, what a beast 💪🏻bro,I'm loving this content 👌
Thank you bro 👌🏼 Great cars!
As a N54 Owner I really appreciate these videos
just subbed after finding the channel.informative and well put together.
keep up the good work bro loving the videos💯
Thank you bro 👊🏼
No wonder dealer servicing is so expensive. It takes longer to get at 'service items' than to change them... doh!
Great Video, really well put together - well done.
Must be frustrating for the mechanics too. Dismantling all of that ghastly plastic....
Do the gearbox oil mate makes a huge huge huge difference you want bmw mtf-lt2 or 75w80 Gl4 do the diff too that’s 75w90 make sure you get correct one depending if you have an lsd or not
Will check it out mate!

@@RobOnMotors yeah I couldn’t get lt2 so used gl4 75w80
Great editing, flows so smooth keeps viewers interested, great content well done
Thank you! 👍🏼
I really like this new style of video where you get your hands dirty like the rest of us home mechanics! Keep up the great work!
Odd request but any chance the budget allows for an audio upgrade for this car? BMWs that don’t come with hk have some very poor audio and might be something of interest to quite a few people. Just a thought. Would be nice to see though. Thanks for the vids and keep up the good work.
Thank you, and maybe as part of an interior upgrades video, I’ll have to cost it up first!
Impressed by the mechanical skills....!
Thanks for doing these types of videos, always been wary of these but it’s nice to see that I could actually fix these general problems my self!
Love your easy going, slightly roguish manner! Fun content too!
I can see the improvement in your production values. Keep up the good work!
you know you’re watching a TR Hamza video when he mentions MK5’s😂😂 no but love your work bro👌
Hi, great vid!
What car stands are you using?
Could you post a link to them please
Fair play, Hamza, you don't mind getting your hands dirty ✌
I love the fact you explain what your doing/fixing! Maa sha allah! May allah bless with you success akhi! Ameen 🙏
We need more of this getting ur hands dirty content, smashing it
Bro when you opening a garage up😂 i'll come to you. Top vid!
10.58 - thats my paper. was thinking where it had gone!
Mechanic hamza one legendary guy
Fair play bro, very informative, enjoy the weekly videos. Cant wait to see the progress in the next one
Never been this early, been looking forward to this!

There's also a mickey mouse flange coming out of the cylinder head which you can replace with a metal one, definitely do that as well
Far more enjoyable when you do the work yourself IMO. Liking the recent DIY vids 🙏
You don’t understand how fast I just clicked when I saw this on my feed
100% can't wait to see you get a salvage R8 and see that rebuild. Deffo going to happen for you
I'd love to get this much knowledge in the near future great stuff mate
Enjoyed this bro, get some work mats when working on cars underneath, catches the mess and saves your knees and elbows.
Hi mate good video really enjoyed watching. Just wondered what you do for work ? You seem very knowledgeable within the car scene and I'm guessing UA-cam ain't the only thing you do 👍🏻
Fair play for having a crack at it! Looking forward to seeing how this one goes.
Good vid .. subbed from the 1st 335i vid.. keep them coming
Loved the video bro, very informative and engaging 👍
Thank you bro 👌🏼
Welcome to the N54 fam bro. Hope you don't mind me asking but what kind of car lift are you using?
Make sure you use the NGK spark plugs and not the Bosch. Side by side they are made to quite different specs. Only the NGK is correct.
loving this content, can't wait for more!
I think the 335i has so much potential. The block itself is very strong and with a single turbo conversion can easily take 700hp+ just need to rip out and replace everything around the engine which causes these cars so many issues
Nice video hamza! Would recommend you doing an oil change with the engine warm. Where did you get that car jack btw? 😳😳😨😍
10:38 - me after contributing absolutely zero percent during a group project
Your going to be spending a lot more time under that bonnet mate haha! If you do the maps in stages the car totally changes! Mhd maps are good!
Noticed a decent amount of oil down the front of the engine, make sure to get both the Oil Filter Housing Gasket and Oil Cooler Housing Gasket done soon!
Great video Hamza 👌👍 looking forward to the next one ☝️
I think you should make a reaction vid to the new rs3 would be sick to see you get hyped 😂
What are those ramps you’re using? Are they portable? Looks really useful for someone who can’t put permanent ramps somewhere
the noise from the front, oil filter housing is it? possible gasket leak? not followed you for a couple of years, see your getting your hands dirty nowadays :P looking forward to seeing more on this!
Keep up the good work,love the vid content,looking forward to the next one 👍
Looking forward to the next one Hamza
Great hands on vid! Just FYI all E92 335s came with M Sport suspension, including the SEs.
Brilliant Video, would have gone for the Motul Xclean oil, and the ngk lower heat grade plug. Good luck
Smashing content always! just question, where did you get the jack lift from? and how can I buy a pair?
Definitely gonna follow these videos. Great job 👍
Nice work. Its actually a solid buy 👍
Waiting on the next video bro 🙋🏽♂️ hoping its coming out soon
Tomorrow 👍🏼
I suddenly feel like I should do some bits of maintenance on mine now 😄
Yo Hamza, wheres all your old videos gone? I haven't watched your channel in a while. Have I missed something? Last time I saw a video was when you had your accident.
If you think you've lost it with the N54, try the N43. And after everything you've spent, it still doesn't go anywhere with 99sec to 100 and looks the same.
my man, you need to do the same with some e92 335d....and then compare them! and race them....would be cool
Great work dude! keep it up.
You can get repair instructions in ista. Should be under repair and maintenance tab and then just select the component group
I wish I had as much knowledge about all this stuff as you Hamza 😂
Bro where did you get the quick jacks? Costco? I think you should do a little video on them 😉😉. I’ve been thinking about getting some myself. Are yours the 5000?
Very enjoyable can't wait to see the end product
im enjoying this vid. more n54 content!
Watching your video is the only happiness i had today. Unfortunately i broke my bumper today so thats gonna be quite a bill for me :(
I would change that cracked coolant hose connector with an upgraded aluminium one. They get brittle and snap again so OEM will go again eventually
Love the longer videos ✅✅✅
Which Milwaukee is that Hamza? Great content as usual?
Fingers crossed you haven't got a leaking rear main seal. Seeing as it's super wet round there. It's a common problem but usually on high mileage engines.
Good video bro, how have you found working with those jacks?
Man after looking the underbody of your car, its a day and night compared to my e92. You definitely need a wash down there😂😂
It’s comming together 💪
Fair play matey, great video and good work!!
Great content mate. New subscriber!
Nice Vids, where did you get ISTA from and how did you get it on MacBook?
Bro youre gonna want to change out them bosch plugs for some B58 ones, once you push stage 2 youll be misfiring for sure. Put in a reg for M140 at ECP and get some NGK B58 Plugs
Awesome informative content as always bro! Thanks for sharing 👍👍
