  • For us enthusiasts the overall health of our car's engine is crucially important. Without having a good running engine, we can't enjoy the car to it's full potential. And forget about tuning a weak engine, as it'll easily become a money pit. In today's video I will show you the easiest to determine whether your engine is ready for tuning or just a couple hundred miles away from blowing up! We will be using my BMW F30 335i as the tester, since it's clappped.

    black stone isn’t a definite analysis when it comes to rod bearings. there are plenty of people who’ve had perfect tests and then engine blows a week later due to rod bearings. still a good test to do regardless though!

    I've been doing oil samples via black stone for years on a ton of cars. My f30 328i has 208.000 mi (fingers crossed-please keep going). The oil sample will show u if copper is high this showing bearing wear, aluminium to show timing chain issues. I've always ran REAL syn oil PAO and or ester like Motul sport ester 5w50. Last two years I've ran shell helix ultra 0w40 (pennzoil euro). Engine was replaced and Computer had 78,000 on it when I got it. So yes blackstone is a required

    I’ve owned my 435i since 18k miles. It’s now 62k miles and I have only replaced the charge pipe, spark plugs and coils for preventative maintenance. My car is tuned and no issues at all. Not sure why everyone is getting so many maintenance issues with the n55. This thing is solid.

      I run mhd stage 2+ and do my fair share of pulls. I’ve only got 80k on mine, I’ve put 20k on it tuned. I change spark plugs regularly, probably once every 6 months. And coils tend to go here and there. Other then that, it takes quite a load of abuse and power and comes back for more then next day

    Be careful of the early engine modeled N55 motors. They are prone to rod bearing failures now that they are getting up there in mileage. Happened to me on my 2011 F10 535i. It has been a terrible experience

I have a 328i that I can beat on and neglect and the motor and rod bearings will be fine. I would never do that to an m3 or m5 or I’d be hurting financially (I assume).

    Both my friends n55 engines do that too it's just a faint little knocking noise from the bottom end you can only really hear it when it's up on the hoist running. Not saying it's good or normal but definitely not uncommon.
