Thanks, it's been years since I checked my spare and totally forgot how to drop it out. 👍 Excellent vid
It's good to know the Germans don't overcomplicate things. Good Lord I'm glad I watched this video before I actually had an issue, lol.
Shocker I had no idea. Great thing to know before a road trip
very informative
Thank y very much man .❤
Wow!!! That's crazy!!
Some say he is still trying to remove the tire to this day....
+Josue Garcia haha
You cracked me up with that one...
Ended up taking it out with a plasma cutter ;)
Josue Garcia Lol!
the stig reference? lol
Damn all the while I was wasting my time with AAA towing it home lol
Otto!!!! Where are you?????????????????
A friend of mine has a dentist who is also a part-time proctologist. Every time he goes to get root canal or a tooth filled he has to drop his pants, bend over a low table, and spread his cheeks. This reminds me of that.
Why didn't BMW just drill a small hole in the rear bumper where you can insert the business end of the jack handle and crank it up or down? It ain't rocket surgery, peoples...
When has a German product been simple and easy? It's in their DNA to make things complex and convoluted.
Still useful in 2022
I might have eventually worked out how to release it, but I doubt I'd have ever found the locknut that was preventing it from dropping!
Thanks 👍
where will I store the punctured wheel...?
Boot, back seats, seat wells, your arse...anything works
i just tried it. and i had to empty my trunk on my passenger seat. put the flat one in the trunk. because it didn't fit.
@@paradoxxaudiovisualproduct9430 Sounds about right.
Now lets see you put it BACK.
Ok
Why would you pull an engine with 80K miles and tear it down without checking crank, installing new rod and main bearings, re-ringing it, and ensure all pistons (cast) were in good enough shape to handle more power? I would have done that…and added forged pistons with new rings and bearings, honed or bored cylinders. Also checked cranked and polished it if it did not need turning. The additional cost isn’t that much more and the bottom end is so critical, especially at 80K miles.
:O
After all that waffle at the start, a rather abrupt ending
