I own a BMW 750i and just love the car. The ride is exceptional but I hate the dealership. It's like sacrificing your first-born just to pay for maintenance. Your videos are simply wonderful and insightful. I learned soooo much about my car. Especially that I don't need to pay $1B USD to do something I can do myself.
Men I work on tech support as well for a very sophisticated product, just like a BMW car. You repair these things like it's nothing, but for me it looked like black magic. Congrats
thank you for teaching me how to repair the water leaks that have been happening in my 2012 bmw 750LI, its been a nightmare. Much appreciated! keep up the good work.
I got my headlamps dried out and now I’m going to pull the front bumper so I can pull the headlamps and pressure test them like you show in another video. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge on these beautiful BMW’s, I own a 2013 535i with 71,067 miles on it. In the last two months my headlamps started getting a bunch of condensation in them and I never had that before, it caused her to start giving me the adaptive headlight malfunction, headlight aim, and daytime running lights alarms. After drying them out good and restarting her all those alarms went away. I’ve got to now pull the headlamp assembly’s on both sides to see where the water is coming in at and fix it. I would not have been able to do this as easy as I have without your video! Thank you for sharing your skills, I’m good working on things, but I get nervous when it comes to my BMW. Again thank you and keep posting the good videos!✌🏼❤💯
NICE WORK BROTHER.. THE ULTRA SOUND CHEM BATH was a great idea. i have a 335d that was in a flood, you helped me realize how much work i really have left to make it nice nice.. Thanks Ovidiu from New Jersey
I worked on a flooded f10, tried crossing flooded road and of course got stuck in the middle when the engine ingested water. Luckily engine was fine, drained intercooler, removed interior and dried all carpets. Car ran fine years after that, if you deal with it right away nothing fails. Even after that, moisture is very dangerous if all water is not out.
Bro you just deleted ALL CODES with one simple Chip replacement. That's AWESOME! Thanks for teaching us so many Tricks how to repair a car! I owe you my Car tbh! 😍
40:30 Bravo, hai fatto bene a precisare questo fatto, purtroppo la gente che non è del mestiere può fraintendere facilmente. Inoltre da almeno 30 anni non esiste più il riparatore di auto, ma il cambiatore di pezzi di auto, spinti dagli obbiettivi di vendita imposti alle officine dalle varie multinazionali dell'auto, vuoi per il costo della manodopera alto, vuoi perché questo lavoro è sempre meno artigianale e certe cose bisogna saperle fare ed è un peccato che si sia perduto questo, lo dico perché mi ricordo di mio babbo(1936) che faceva il meccanico di auto e che prima di tutto era un riparatore ! 😢😢
bravo,adevarat profesionist si detii si interfetele si sculele necesare.La suruburile de la scaun,cred ca mergeau curatate cu o perie de sarma si pasta blocanta pe ele,decat vaselina aia!Parerea mea,nu te supara!
Salut ! nu ma supar , intradevar de fabrica au threadlocker dar cu timpul, mai ales ca masina a avut umezeala si nici pe viitor nu se stie prin ce va trece masina asta , vaselina e mai buna ! ( cine stie poate masina asta scapa si o sa ajunga de epoca, si cine o va desface va fi fericit ca suruburile nu sunt sudate cu rugina ) si in plus sunt scaune nu sunt roti :) , la prezoanele rotilor nu pui pasta blocanta ca doar pana la urma alea chiar sunt importante :D
Some advice on your repair of the rubber steering column boot, or well rubber in general, spraying WD40 on any rubber parts is a bad idea, in time the WD40 will make the rubber disintegrate, usually it starts by just swelling and soon after just falling appart. Use silicone spray instead to make things glide. I would replace that rubber boot you shown, It's a pain in the absolute bum to replace though. once it pops off its a giant pain to put back in general. I think a lot of people pop these off and spray some stuff down in the steering clumn to fix another common issue, steering creeeks, especially in cold weather, My fix is to spray silicone spray down through the boot without taking it off. saves the pain and this problem aswell. Great video as always though, fixing drowned cars is a horrible job. full respect.
Thanks for your advice 👍, I didn't use the wd40 on the rubber I have used it to lube the shaft for the nylon bush to easy slide back , but for that rubber piece to be affected by the wd40 will need to be soaked for a quite long period time in oil . If you respect the procedure and have the necessary tools nothing is to complicated 😀
Great video..Best guy for BMW for sure. . In my country you would be milionare in a year... We have bmw dealer and sefvise there is to connect computer and what it say thay tell you to buy new part from tham. Maybe 1 wire can be disconnected thay just look errors and dont bother do see the problem.. So id you want to be a millionare in 1 year, move to Croatia.
You should have checked also the sealing of the doorcovers. This is one of the most common causes for water ingress in these cars. I had the rear of my car (F11) flooded with water, even more than in your car. Came from bad covers in the rear doors. The seals harden out over time. BMW does this bad design since a long time (had the same problem in my E39).
You're talking about the anti-condensation barrier ( that is the name of that part ), but it wasn't from there , off camera I did several thorough checks including sunroof drains. The problem you say is not caused by BMW, on the contrary, that system is very good, but when someone who messes around where he shouldn't , and doesn't seal them back correctly, you will have problems with water like you already have experienced . That reusable sealant does not dry and it is an very high quality sealant !
hello! I don't know from where you can download it , normally if you are in the field, you normally have a guy who is dealing with selling and offer support for diagnosis equipment. if not, you can try online to buy an SSD with all the programs installed.
@@MOvidiu thank you for the quick response its my first time commenting on a video despite the copious amount of time I spend on UA-cam. Could you please advise where you got your? or maybe share a link to a dropbox with the setup file? I'm even willing to pay for it, but keep in mind I'm in South Africa so exchange rate might be a bit of a stumbling block. Ps. I am in the field but its almost impossible to get it this side; I have been trying for years have not even seen it outside a dealership
Hola buenas días no sé si me vas a entender porque soy español pero tengo un bmw F10 530 del año 2011 motor n-57 y tengo un problema con el head display que me alumbra para abajo si funciona pero alumbra para abajo y luego la cámara trasera tampoco me funciona funciona los sensores y hay a veces que en los espejos en los triángulos donde detecta cuando te adelantan también da fallo porque hay a veces que nadie me adelanta y se dan ellos solos me podrías dar algún consejo o algo porque para llevarle hasta donde estás tú qué pena que no estás en España porque eres una máquina un genio gracias
I got this I problem in my 2013 BMW X3 and the driver footwell has water on the carpet. And when turning in the car it would shake and I got “chassis stabilization” and “traction control” warning light. It let me shift between gears but when I would accelerate it would have no power
Quick question i have a bmw 2013 bmw 740i and its giving me trunk open on my I drive but my truck is close any idea please I can figure it open I check the sensor looks fine I check all wires dont see any wires loose or broken any idea

No , and yes , depending on the damages and who's doing it, if you don't know how to do it and need to pay someone else to do it for you! The answer is No , will cost you more than a good running one

Salut, in primul rand va trebui facuta o diagnosticare completa, cand zic diagnosticare completa nu ma refer doar la citit codurile de eroare!!! Asa sa te apuci sa schimbi piese ca presupui ca .... sau sa repari dupa pareri nu vei rezolva nimic , e o pierdere de timp!
Am dus-o la service,nu le -am schimbat eu,pus ista …am schimbat ce M-i s-a spus…bani bagati degeaba pana acum si sunt cativa…nu mai zic platforme mereu…

Hello, nice video, too professional, excudeke what program you use?
Recomand alcool izopropilic in loc de paharul cu apa.. apa lasa reziduu, alcoolul acela se evapora si e mai ok 12:01
Thanks very much but BMW campany must try to put away electronic part at water existence or cover by something water can't get in
Very good :):):)
Thank you! Cheers!
Good job, whats the name of the diagnosis software ?
Hello ! : BMW istaD
Great job! You found the mouse entry point but there's no sign of water there...Where from came so much water in this car?
I think the water earlier may have been …Urine 🤷🏽♂️

you need to disassembly the car, dry it , and check all the affected modules, plugs...
Great show, but seriously hard to watch due to so many ads. Almost unsubscribed due to too many ads.
Hello Gerry , you can use UA-cam Premium if you daily use UA-cam and you won't see any commercials
I have a flood damaged bmw x2. I need your services. Where are you located?
What computer did he use to diagnose?
uses acid to clean water damage on plugs, wash off acid with water
Yes, to clean oxidation !
I put a new steering module but I can’t see AL on Ista
please tell me the name of your software... i got 330i flooted, i love your channel...

how high water can be handle by BMW like 5 series G30?
