Bmw is the dollarstore version of Mercedes tho, they use the same parts and design, Mercedes just has more and more refind, that in general, some mercedes are garbage and same goes for bmw.
Hey Justin, I had this same exact issue. Light came on, went to Autozone to get it read. Same issue. Went the cheap route of just buying some coolant and going to fill it. Bought some coolant and before it arrive, one day when driving to school my engine light came on for overheating. I should have pulled over but my mother worked in the town and I was miles away, so I drove there. When I got there. The coolant was bone dry. There was some wetness below the engine. Must of overheated and shot it all out. (Luckily I didn't overhear my engine and seems to run fine) I had to take it in to the shop. Needed to buy a new thermostat and water pump. So frustrating! But a week later when I got it back and paid the bill, I couldn't be mad because I truly love Apollo (Name for my 2006 BMW 325i). Hope you don't run into this! And great job on the videos!!!
You need to bleed the system everytime you open the cap on a BMW or else you risk air bubbles same happen to me 500 dollar lesson Yea bleed I did that now even if a just check it
you are ON THE MONEY!!!!!!! did what you said with the coolant...( the weather conditions, etc. were the same for me as u described ) ...light went off...car runs fine!!!
This happened to me when the temperature dropped. I panicked at first because it was my first experience with the warning light. Now, I know that it may not be anything major. Thanks for the video.
So I just recently purchased a BMW 335i and my engine service pop out I was worry man... But after watching this video and follow your steps it's gone, thanks bro so helpful really 🤣
I really enjoy your videos, bro. I just bought an '07 328xi and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. (Especially since I already just got burned for a water pump and thermostat by the dealer.)
Holy crap this video helped so much, I've been getting anxiety cuz I just got a 2011 328i 2 days ago and the light came on, i thought it was something serious
You always have the best background music! Hip hop of some sort. Reminds me of a tribe called quest. In your oil change video I begged on 2 separate occasions to please tell what's was playing in the background. It seems more rap/hip hop based. Do you generate them yourself? You've got great taste in music and cars man!
Thanks I appreciate it! Most of the music I use is produced by Chuki HipHop ua-cam.com/users/CHUKImusic Here is the song I used in the oil change video ua-cam.com/video/7Sy8ksIEtL8/v-deo.html
Justin Buice thank you! That might be the best gift all month long lol. You are a very very sweet dude. Oh yeah, dude all your shoes are gangster af! The bar laced red high tops, which you're great on a board with btw and those new white ones w the tongue shoved forward haha, are awesome. 5.10's? I've gotta go watch your new snow drifting video now. Long live Buice!
My BMW X1 seems to be doing the exact same thing except I recently installed a new thermostat. I bought it with "Service engine soon" light on and ran a scan at the car lot and it came back faulty thermostat. Well after paying for the car and making it across town it ran pretty hot, however told me I could continue driving at the speed it had me at around 10mph. Luckily I was 2 miles from the house, got there and ordered an original thermostat for it, installed it, then SES light went out and has been fine up until today and the light came on, I scanned and it came back intake air sensor faulty and low coolant (but expansion tank was full of coolant from when I bled the cooling system a couple of weeks ago. It also came back a code bad circuit in the fan that it was continuously running but the fan hadn't been on because I haven't driven the car yet for the day. So sounds to me like old emmisons that weren't never corrected and deleted or everything is alright and I'm on panic from seeing the SES soon light coming on after replacing the thermostat and everything was good to go.
Makes sense, I replaced the radiator 2 weeks ago and I purge the system to fill it properly, tomorrow I will definitely check that. My scanner doesn't give me any codes, so I thought that the oil change can be the problem, but is not.
Hey Justin, I love your videos you inspired me to make my own channel about my bmw and mine is actually very similar to yours, (323i 2007) Glad to see a bmw enthusiast near my area! Great work keep it up!
There's a heating element in the thermostat. these are known to fail on the e90 series. changing the thermostat is the fix. this error pops up during winter time since the coolant is cooler then. then the car detects the lower temperature. just fyi. anyway nice video!
I have a 2002 x5 and last winter i noticed the engine temp barely out of the blue and not getting any higher except if im parked and let it idle. There is a noticeable reduction in the amount of heat when i have the heater on as well but its not cold air. My service engine light doest go on so is it possible its still the thermostat or could it be something else?
I just bought a 2012 335IE I think it is a rock solid car . You are very good at explaining the maintenance procedures > It has 40,000 miles you got any advice for me
+Nic Ter think about replacing the fluids. Coolant, brake fluid, etc. check the brakes, there tools for measuring the thickness of the rotors to see if they need to be replaced. I just did my pads and rotors around 50k and they were pretty worn down.
what's good bro love your videos I just bought a BMW 2005 325xi question can you pair up you phone to your car on order to play music from your phone? thank you in advance
Which actual device did you plug into the OBD slot? I’m trying to do the same thing you did, and I also just wanted a scanner for myself anyways. But I found the app, I just need to know which one to buy to plug into my car?
hi Buick. your vedio is quite interesting and formative. thx. Today I have a question. E 46 I am nterested in has service engine soon light and diagnostic tool found 4 counts faulty code. All 4 counts said bank 1 and 2 too lean. Which means O2 sensors need to be replaced? thanks in advance.
Dude your videos are the bomb... I've never seen better step by step explanations of anything like this before. I have one question though, I saw on the amazon page you pasted up here on the video for that Bluetooth scanner, which one would you recommend me with an iOS capability? Can you send me the link of the exact one that has bluetooth connection to an iPhone or iPad please? I would really appreciate having an opinion from an expert like you. Thanks.
hi Justin i had a question i have a manual as well do you know when do you have to change the transmissions oil ? also the fuel filter? i would really appreciate your answer
Yeah on my 2001 330i engine check light came on last week, so my mom's friend did an oil change, and my mom check the coolant, thank god I bought some bc it was really low and I also had to replace rotors as well. But my EML light is also coming on when I turn on the car. So I unplugged my battery but apparently that does not work to reset it for BMWs unless you leave it off for certain amount of time. They say to just touch the positive and negative cords together for 5 seconds to reset the codes. I going to go to the guy I bought it from who is a mechanic to see if he can read the code for me this weekend if it doesn't reset.
Hey JB, I'm really curious to ask you, can you explain the DTC in the e90, because I experienced that on very gravel stony roads where it just appears, have you experienced that, thank you
I have question what I should buy for obd tool diagnostic,,for bmw 328xi 2008,,cuz I just went to auto zone for borrow the obd tool his tryed but doesn’t work,,his said my car rare,,do u have recommended for me???
What’s up Justin! I started following a couple of months ago and I find your videos pretty enjoyable and helpful! I wanna ask you a quick question: Do you know if there’s a good alternative for anti coolant other than the BMW dealership?
I buy the bmw brand coolant on amazon for around $30. I think you only need to replace coolant every two years so even though it seems expensive compared to other brands, it really comes out to $15 a year
my code P0128 came up, the reservoir was almost empty, i top it off but the light still came back up. do you think i have to change the thermostat? i was told to change the coolant sensor on my 2010 530i
Bro I need you help if u read this. I got a BMW X3 2008 I just change my water pump and thermostat and both vanos from engine. So i still have service engine on. I took to mechanic and clear codes and come back again. Do you have any idea what Could it be Engine is running strong.
+E Junior i got mine on amazon. Theres a link in the description for the Android version. Then just download the dash command app on your phone or tablet
Good stuff on the videos man, the 3 series owners community appreciate them
For sure, guy deserves appreciation!
Lol repairs are worth every penny. No cars drive like BMW!
Nour Hummadi Thats a Fact
Tesla drives way better tho 😌
Bmw is the dollarstore version of Mercedes tho, they use the same parts and design, Mercedes just has more and more refind, that in general, some mercedes are garbage and same goes for bmw.
shavingculture nice joke
Yes no cars drive like BMW but as well no cars break down as BMW.
Hey Justin, I had this same exact issue. Light came on, went to Autozone to get it read. Same issue. Went the cheap route of just buying some coolant and going to fill it.

You need to bleed the system everytime you open the cap on a BMW or else you risk air bubbles same happen to me 500 dollar lesson Yea bleed I did that now even if a just check it
Aye I got an 06 325i too, GANG
How do you bleed the system
you are ON THE MONEY!!!!!!! did what you said with the coolant...( the weather conditions, etc. were the same for me as u described ) ...light went off...car runs fine!!!
This happened to me when the temperature dropped. I panicked at first because it was my first experience with the warning light. Now, I know that it may not be anything major. Thanks for the video.
I feel like it's unnecessary to have a black coolant tank vs the transparent one in most cars! Also, diggin this music bro, good work!
Thanks! There are a lot of things on this car that don't really make sense. I'm sure there's a reason for it lol
Justin Buice I belive any white container that recieves light develops algie ;)
This wasn't even the right video I needed, but I watched it through anyway.. it was just relaxing and enjoyable.
So I just recently purchased a BMW 335i and my engine service pop out I was worry man...
But after watching this video and follow your steps it's gone, thanks bro so helpful really 🤣
I really enjoy your videos, bro. I just bought an '07 328xi and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. (Especially since I already just got burned for a water pump and thermostat by the dealer.)
Just got my bmw cant thank you enough for all the shit you help with man.
Thank You Justin!
You're welcome!
I had my service engine soon. And i did the same thing u have done and it works thank you so much.
Holy crap this video helped so much, I've been getting anxiety cuz I just got a 2011 328i 2 days ago and the light came on, i thought it was something serious
Is it always this tho? Ive seen vids where it’s a spark plug issue
I miss my e90 like I miss my kids! Cant wait to get back home to Nigeria and whip it!!!
You always have the best background music! Hip hop of some sort. Reminds me of a tribe called quest.

Very helpful. I had to top off my coolant a couple of months ago. Looks like I'll be getting the Bluetooth device soon. Thanks for the link.
Good filming, editing, and information, great video thank you
I know it will kill me but damn I really want to drink that coolant
It does look like a refreshing drink..lmao.
Add some ice
No
Looks like hypnotic lml

I don't even own a BMW and I find these videos cool to watch
I have exactly this car, 33oi 2205/2006, n52 so that here in Brazil it comes if the navigation screen, very cool your videos, thanks for the tips
Does this read BMW fault codes or only generic ones?
bump

hi Buick. your vedio is quite interesting and formative. thx.
Today I have a question. E 46 I am nterested in has service engine soon light and diagnostic tool found 4 counts faulty code. All 4 counts said bank 1 and 2 too lean.
Which means O2 sensors need to be replaced? thanks in advance.
Hey Justin, does this device read the BMW codes?
Hey yeah we do appreciate it. However what should I do if I don't have the Bluetooth scanner thing that you have to clear the code ?
Dude your videos are the bomb... I've never seen better step by step explanations of anything like this before. I have one question though, I saw on the amazon page you pasted up here on the video for that Bluetooth scanner, which one would you recommend me with an iOS capability? Can you send me the link of the exact one that has bluetooth connection to an iPhone or iPad please? I would really appreciate having an opinion from an expert like you. Thanks.
by the way, I have a '08 328xi just like yours (without the Navigation)
hi Justin
i had a question
i have a manual as well do you know when do you have to change the transmissions oil ?
also the fuel filter? i would really appreciate your answer
You Rock Justin ! I had the same issue with mine. Thank you for the help
Nice!
Hey man, thanks for the videos! What one reader you use?
Yeah on my 2001 330i engine check light came on last week, so my mom's friend did an oil change, and my mom check the coolant, thank god I bought some bc it was really low and I also had to replace rotors as well. But my EML light is also coming on when I turn on the car. So I unplugged my battery but apparently that does not work to reset it for BMWs unless you leave it off for certain amount of time.

I going to go to the guy I bought it from who is a mechanic to see if he can read the code for me this weekend if it doesn't reset.
Did your light ever come on and needed to replace your thermostat. I don’t see another video I have same car as u same issue runs fine
Did it get fixed just by adding coolant or did the light pop back up ?
Does this scanner allow u to reset the battery ?
Hey JB, I'm really curious to ask you, can you explain the DTC in the e90, because I experienced that on very gravel stony roads where it just appears, have you experienced that, thank you
I have question what I should buy for obd tool diagnostic,,for bmw 328xi 2008,,cuz I just went to auto zone for borrow the obd tool his tryed but doesn’t work,,his said my car rare,,do u have recommended for me???
one question don't you have to unscrew the bleed screw first then add the 50/50 coolant??
Such an amazing, high quality video! Keep up the good work!
+illestprincess thank you!
BMW 530i code P2096 post catalyst fuel trim. What do you recommend that I do?
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO 😜👍🏻 VERY HELPFUL 💪🏼💯 5 SERIES TEAM 😜👍🏻
What’s up Justin! I started following a couple of months ago and I find your videos pretty enjoyable and helpful! I wanna ask you a quick question: Do you know if there’s a good alternative for anti coolant other than the BMW dealership?
I buy the bmw brand coolant on amazon for around $30. I think you only need to replace coolant every two years so even though it seems expensive compared to other brands, it really comes out to $15 a year
Hey great video! Where can I find the link to the scanner please? Thanks
Good vids for BMW owners 💯 3seriesTeam
What app did you purchase to use with your scanner? I plan on buying both.
I have the same issue ! Do I need to clear the code or does it clear on it's on ? I don't have obd?
Good video as always. Thank God it was an easy fix.
+Alex Park thanks!
my code P0128 came up, the reservoir was almost empty, i top it off but the light still came back up. do you think i have to change the thermostat? i was told to change the coolant sensor on my 2010 530i
Thanks,I like your videos the best
What scanner do I need to check at home why my 2004 X5 Service Engine Soon light is on ?
Hey Justin, have you had the problem of your car vibrating, non stop? any idea of what could cause this? Thanks man.. awesome videos btw.
Cal W If rpm just up n down n car shakes then its probably either coils or spark plugs need to be changed
Snokeren v
Snokeren mbcx
Justin what model bmw do u have 330i?
What's another good alternative for the official BMW coolant?
Thanks for the video you are a life saver.
Glad I could help :)
The post’s heading says resetting the service engine warning light but doesn’t address it except to just wait and see if it goes off.
My coolant float has broken off..if you over fill the expansion tank,will it just leak out?
Thank u bro my service engine light is on on my 328i and I’m worried but that video helps
Justin do you know if purify water like EVIAN would work for making the mix?, finding distilled water here in Mexico is a little hard.
Buy distilled water for ironing at the grocery stores. Compra agua destilada para planchas en tiendas de autoservicio.
Thank you for the all video 👍🏻
i recently changed the coolant.i was told to add the liquid, go a few kilometers and then add again to complete
OMG you are a savior! Thank you so much!
Glad I could help!
I got mine light on too... didnt check it but believe that very low outside tempreture is reason
Does this device work with every bmw? I have a 2008 328i
Hey where did you buy that diagnostic tool??
Did you have to buy the app in order for it to tell you the fault codes?
yeah the app is like $10
What do you think about the Carly BMW diagnostic tool
I have Carly now and it’s great. But I don’t like that they switched to a subscription model where you have to pay every year to use it
Hey what do you know about a Footwell Module on an e90 ?
Do you know any free alternative apps to DashCommand?
Mine came on and I checked that I need more coolant so I'm hoping that's all I need because I have not planned ahead
Do you have link to Bluetooth scanner for iPhone??
That’s funny I got the same code what did you ever do?
Will this Bluetooth Scanner work on a 2013 BMW X1?
Gotta unscrew the bleed screw while you fill to properly fill your coolant tank..
Hello Justin. I used the same app and device. I tried to clear the faults but the service engine soon light won't go away. Please help
Can service engine come up as missreading, because of an exhaust
the Bluetooth scanner is working in UK ?
my service engine soon light just came on tonight in my 2003 325i and I'm kind of panicing :/ What should I do? Please help
Did the problem continue? I have a 13 335is. Same thing happened to me.
service light came on and thermostat gauge is reading low.
+Aldo Medina no service engine light since topping it off.
Thanks I’m going to try this
Can the diagnostic be used on a iPhone
Bro I need you help if u read this.
I got a BMW X3 2008
I just change my water pump and thermostat and both vanos from engine.
So i still have service engine on.
I took to mechanic and clear codes and come back again.
Do you have any idea what Could it be
Engine is running strong.
What do the codes say when you run the diagnostics?
Hi. 2A98 code.
Do you think I can do something somehow. Thank you.
What the app name you use to see on your laptop
It leaks when the thermostat goes bad?
where to get the OBD scan tool?
Steven Dean Did you find out what the tool was?
Ik it 2 years late but on Amazon and he even has the link on the description
I’m also 90% sure that if you add too much coolant, say you top it off, it will also trigger the code.
You’re the best.
Can i buy the scanner at an auto zone ?
How could you tell it was 20 oz short. My thermo was replaced @ 90k. Pretty sure I need a water pump
Hey i have the exact same code on my e90 325i 2006.I tried clearing it and it does come back.
that service light just came up on my E90, i did the oil change tried to rest it from the dash but still comes up ????
Sammy B You have to get a diagnosis read the code. Do the basic fix. and then reset the code.
Hey man how can I get that reader to detect problems like that ??
+E Junior i got mine on amazon. Theres a link in the description for the Android version. Then just download the dash command app on your phone or tablet
