Because of your video I replaced my Vent Valves on my 545i with the n62 engine, the repairs removed my p2189 and p2187 fault codes. My plastic cover had wires connected to it so I didn't replace them but both of my valves were torn so I replaced both, it took me about 20 minutes, it was easy, fun and saved me a ton of loot, Thanks.
im so happy i own this car alongside you! You make everything easier for me and your videos are filled with so much valuable information! Thanks so much!
Chris Thanks for the videos. Please keep them coming. While most service centers are unethical in their work, it's good to know there are people like you helping the common man. For this job, the service center wanted $600 from me.
WOW !! Thank you so much for the invaluable information. Just completed this maintenance and felt very comfortable with your guide. Though the point is good, I actually took extra time to Deep Clean all that dirt, gunk and excess off my engine while it was more wide open than normal. Oh boy, what a difference. A few little rotary brushes and harbor freight cheap brush set, a lil Dawn in a spray mister, and a misting clean water bottle and I am sooooooooooooo much happier. i SIMPLY CANNOT THANK YOU enough. Awesome.
I just wanted to say thank you. I am not going to do it myself however this gives me an idea as to what is being done and i can't be lied to. Thanks again
Thank you so much Chris, I've been watching all of your vids. I just purchased a 2005 745LI and it's blowing white smoke and throwing these codes :) I want to thank you for all your help learning this car. You are a true blessing! I wouldn't have known what to do with this car. Ive always worked on my own cars and you debunked all the none-sense I was hearing about how hard these cars are to work on :) After all it's just a car!
Thank you for showing beginning to end! Awesome job......... I was having such a hard time finding out how to remove the vanity cover. That may sound whimpy, but if you've don't know how it is held on, breaking it would be very costly!2008 BMW x5 4.8L
Great video. I recently bought a 2009 750Li. I've been watching BMW dyi videos recently and I'm shocked at the amount of, and heavy use of so many plastic parts in a car that costs upwards of $90,000 when new. I'd think auto engineers would easily figure out that all that plastic is bound to fail given the extreme heat of an engine compartment.
awesome I'm glad you were able to fix yours, yes embarrassing sounds I've been there I just look down or over at the other car so they don't think it's me, lol, thanks for watching.
I’m very thankful to you and this video it really help me a lot, I purchased a 2008 Bmw 550i and it was smoking a lot and the mechanics told me that it was something wrong with the engine and thanks to this video my car now feels like new and the smoke stop Right away
Hello. I have the 04 760li v12 and would like to ask if you would be able to make a video on getting to ignition coil and spark plugs for replacement please.
Nice video. I had to change them also due to intermitent and loud "chubaka" sounds at low rpm's. Pretty embarassing when sitting at a red light. Very easy to do as your vid shows.
Hey. Good information thanks I spent over 500$ for stupid mechanics to diagnose the noise from the engine and they couldn’t find out the real problem now I know what is the problem the parts on the way I can’t wait
FYI those are just cap nuts holding on that engine cover not Torx. I have an 07 and my passenger side is not directly attached to the cover, it is near the top of the engine mid-stream a larger hose that goes between the valve cover and intake manifold. Its wrapped in custom molded insulation. HTH someone. Good video.
great video, i opened up my ccv crank case and whalla my valve was torn. Codes P1287 and P2189 come up, Im going to buy the set tomorrow and let you know if the codes go away. Thanks dude....
Hi, I love watching your DIY videos and thanks a bunch for them. Keep up the good work. I have a quick question for you, are the E65 745i aluminum intake manifold interchangeable with the newer version plastic ones? Thanks in advance.
Great video as always, hey so I need to pass my emissions test and I'm getting a P2187 & p2189 codes but pending only. Is this why my evap and secondary air wont get ready for the emissions test?. It's been 260 miles since and everything is ready on the drive cycle except them 2. How can I get the secondary air to get ready. I changed these CCVs about 2 months ago btw...
Do u need to drive it for awhile after u replace them in order for the smoke to stop if I sit still too long smoke will come from my pipes too long meanings like 45 seconds maybe a minute or long with out moving
Good News= OUTSTANDING JOB! and I did it, thanks to you! THANKS! Bad News=temporaraly fixed my white smoke issue. I need a valve guide seals replaced...
Thanks for watching the vent pipes shouldn't be that hard to do, hopefully someone that will see this comment can respond if they have done the job before. Maybe give a link for a write up thanks again for watching.
you should buy an engine degreaser and protectant it works wonders my car looks better than when i bought it, i have a video on my channel if youd like to see
you need your valve stem seals replaced; let the car idle for 10 minutes, then rev engine all the way- you should see lots of smoke coming out; go to dealer- its a big job...
im having a problom with my BMW 550I 07 ia smoking white from the exhaust i want to know if i replace this part could stop smoking....thanksss someone please help me thankss
Hello, when I fixed my CCV's I drove it right away for short and long periods of time, I never saw smoke coming from my pipes. I don't know the answer for why you would see smoke out of your pipes, hopefully someone will see theses comments and be able to help us out. If I find out I'll let you know. Thanks for watching.
Great job but when I started the car check engine light came on. Now it say engine malfunction. It putters now really won't drive! Did I do something wrong?
Does your engine have vacuum? because mine has a lot of vacuum and i cant figure out why! i thought the valves where the problem but i guess not. Turn on your car and open the oil cap and see if there is vacuum! thanks
I have the same symptoms, p2187/p2189, whistling noise, rough idle, I replaced the vent valves. but the problem still hasn't gone away. I don't know the problem could be next, vacuum leak? what else could be it?
It might be a vacuum leak, other guys have awesome videos explaining the vacuum leak, also search the 5 and 3 series videos for tips, it won't be exactly the same but very similar.
Hey, my 06 750Li is having a little clear/white smoke coming from the tailpipes when hitting the gas after idle. dealership says Valve seals but i dont experience the truly white smoke like everyone else. it smells a bit funny though. and from 1st to 2nd my rpms go as high as 2,300 RPM is that normal?
Hi Chris I have 2002 745li BMW and when I hooked it up to the machine I got a P002. My mechanic says that my engine is no good. By doing this in your video will this help me? Thanks!
So I had this problem but when I went to replace my PCV nothing was wrong with them so I went ahead and replace the many ways and I jumped on the highway and it seems as if the problem got a little worse. Any other ideas ?
does the hose needs to be relaced or cleaned? i have changed both my ccv but it still smokes sometimes and today i pulled off the ccv hose and there was oil inside the hose still
when i changed mine it was not orange but dark blue/green rubber.. is that OEM from factory? and even more important i had some kind of gunk on it so i had to clean it.. like oily mud.. i see yours was totally clean.. just oily... what could be the problem, should i open the head cover and is that going to help? car was regularly maintained at bmw, oil changes and all...
Are the codes that come up are they codes they saids you have skip in some your cylinders because that is what i am getting..p0 301 po 300 po 304 po 307 and system to lean in bank 2 which is code 2189
Dropped, I had it done. And trust me they did it the most efficient way possible. On their dime so...... yeah whenever that's the case mechanics don't procrastinate lol
Hey man, 3/4 of this video is irrelevant to what most of us are trying to accomplish. We don’t need the engine cleaning education or we’d go to “engine cleaning” here on you tube. It’s almost like you like to hear yourself talk. Well we don’t. Not trying to be a jerk but I’m speaking facts

i SIMPLY CANNOT THANK YOU enough. Awesome.
Thanks! I just did this and what do you know, I had NO smoke after long idling. So awesome!
Thanks for a great informative video I learned a lot. one suggestion why didn't you show the codes gone away? did the repair work?
Great video I just started doing my own repairs on my 745i helped me saved lot's of $$
I just wanted to say thank you. I am not going to do it myself however this gives me an idea as to what is being done and i can't be lied to. Thanks again
