Quick tip, the 2 hoses that are in the way, instead of opening the clip the whole clip can be removed by pressing the 2 plastic tabs on the right side and sliding the whole clip up and off. This also works for the clip under the small plastic cover that is removed, there is a tab at the bottom that can be pushed and the whole clip can be slid upwards and out of the way.
Thank you, you helped me a lot with this Video. After changing the oil this was the most difficult oil change ever. And i am Not new to the game. The oil filter placement is insane!
Thanks Dude, much appreciated. LOL, way easier than I feared. And the reset too. Last oil change mechanic didn't do, or didn't know how to do. Been driving me nuts every start up saying I am way over due.
Thank you for this video. I used to have a 2002 BMW 325i and I did the oil changes myself. I traded it with a 2017 330i. I am at the dealership right now for an oil change and they are charging $230. I will start doing it myself from now on. Thanks again
2.0L twin scroll not twin turbo. Has one turbo designed to function as a twin turbo. Rubber grommets attached to and underneath the engine cover. Loosen the oil filter housing cap fully before removing oil pan drain plug but don’t pull the filter out yet, less mess. Loosen and pull the drain plug catching the old oil in your oil drain pan. 27mm socket for oil cap, 17mm socket for drain plug. Heavily lubricate the oil cap o’ring so it won’t get stuck for next time. As the vehicle ages, use less torque on the oil cap, maybe 20NM instead of 25NM to save the brittle plastic. Big expensive job to replace the oil filter housing. Just make sure there are no leaks when finished. Put some oil on your drain plug copper gasket as well. 5.5 quarts for you imperialists. Done many on my 2017 F30 B46, hope my comments helped. Great video, thank you doing it.
Thanks for the great video! My '17 330i xDrive had a plastic cover w/ a screw over the drain plug, unlike yours. Needed to use a flex head ratchet to get the filter off. Bought an inexpensive 27mm socket off Amazon for the filter. When I went to pull away the ratchet after loosening, the socket fell into the engine! I listened and was sure it was resting on the belly pan, had to partly de-install to remove the socket. Could not see it from to top to use a magnet. I guess a perfect $$ socket would have had the proper detent to positively hold onto the drive of the quick release ratchet. But this $9 socket still did the trick.
Not my preferred but what is recommended straight from the local dealership here in FL. This was a buddy’s car, he bought the parts from the local dealership.
Perfect Video! Can you share the links of where you brought the BMW oil filter and oil from? Also you personally, how often do you change your BMW's oil? I know BMW says 10,000 miles but most cars are typically 3,000 miles. Just want to hear it from someone that has experience with it. My BMW's oil is due this July and I would love to do it myself.
Hi Darren. The oil and filter came from the local dealership here in Orlando. I recommend using ECS tuning for all Euro parts needs. Personally for me, I go between 5-6k miles or once a year for oil changes.
@@darrenfarrell8177 also orileys carries the wix brand of this filter , id also recommend switching it out every 3500 miles if you drive your car hard . ive waited till 5k miles and the oil was so bad im never waiting that long again .
FCP Euro has oil + filter kits using either BMW or Liquimoly oil. Change every 6000 miles or so, 10,000 is too long, 3000 is not necessary for the quality of synthetics today.
Solid video with one important correction: the B46/B48 (same engine but with ULEV restrictions on the B46) requires *5.55* quarts of oil, not 5.25. To prevent overfilling, putting in 5 quarts and then half of another quart is the easiest way. It's better to slightly underfill and then adjust than slightly overfill an engine with oil.
@@theo.k Ah, I didn't realize he meant liters. I assumed he was American based off the accent - he must be Canadian. Either way, 5.55 quarts for Americans, 5.25 liters for basically everyone else hahaha.
Great video. It is not a twin turbo, it is a twin scrool single turbo. BMW calls it a twin power turbo.

This also works for the clip under the small plastic cover that is removed, there is a tab at the bottom that can be pushed and the whole clip can be slid upwards and out of the way.
Thanks for posting! I just spent $160 at the stealership and had to wait 8 days for an appt. Not anymore. Thanks to you.

Thanks much! Just changed my 330i oil and your instructions were spot on.

Seems easier to put the filter in first then cap on top. Not sure why the repair manual suggests attaching the filter to the cap first.
I got the same vehicle and this was very very helpful thank you very much
big difference between twin turbo and single turbo twin scroll, still a great video!
Very Very helpful video! Thank you so much for this
where in fl r u im in orlando with the same same isue
The check engine goes away wen you do the reset?
I have a 2018 would this be the same process?
Same process
Do I need a socket wrench?
What is the verdict on this engines? I was downgraded my wish from 235i due to road tax and insurance became a nightmare.
Pros and cons pls?
Thank you for the great video! Will be doing this on the wife's car soon lol.
Very well done. Thank you sir!!
Like there are different types of “twins”. This is like a conjoined twin. Still, in the sense of logic, ‘Tis a twin turbo. 💯💪🏽🧐
Ensure you place the rubber casket on the correct ring. Make sure you seat the filter, prior to putting cap on. Thks
Very helpful, thanks.
Nice job! I hate the filter location....I've always preoiled my oil filter....not any more. Lol
what type of oil can i use on my model i was told 5w-40?
0-20 full synthetic ive ran both valvoline and penzoil in mine both work great.
Do you have an engine air filter video ?
how much did it cost the oil and filter and tools
Awesome vid thank you!
Kind of a no brainer but make sure your crush washer doesn't stick to the oil pan. Mine has before so I just figured I'd mention it.
B48 right?
would it be better to use ramps or a jack and jack stands ?
I prefer ramps if I'm not pulling the wheels off a vehicle. Just personal preference.
@@rkystokes thanks !!
The oil drainplug had to be tightend to 25 NM also The oilfilter-Cap
Do you know where I can check power steering fluid?
lmao for this b46 model the steering is electronic my friend .
This car has electronic power steering. So there is no fluid to check.
Thank you very much
Good video..Just thinking why you preferred 0W 20 instead of 0W 30 ( or ) 5W 30..🤔
Not my preferred but what is recommended straight from the local dealership here in FL. This was a buddy’s car, he bought the parts from the local dealership.
@@rkystokesi use 5w40 8100 motul gen2 LL01. My 320M sport is a B48B20A stage1 with 260whp and 420Nm
Thank you
Does this car have dipstick?
It’s electronic, the end of the video walks through how to check it
helpful, thanks
Thanks g
You saved me $200

The manual calls for 5,24 Litre of oil. Which is 5.55 quarts (US). So he's correct.

is a b48 no b46
Protect your hands use !
Bro nobody makes 4 cylinders with 2 turbos…..
Best cost value. FCP Euro’s website
"Twin Turbo"...made me laugh.
Scroll* never bothered to change it
B46 is a 3 cylinder engine , this one is B48 engine 4 cylinder.
That is not correct. The B46 is still a 4 cylinder. It is the SULEV version of the B48 (stricter emissions controls). The B38 is the 3-cylinder.
B46 is sulev version which is the one sold here. You’re thinking of the B38 engine that goes in the mini’s
@@rkystokes Correct. B48 is for 4 cylinder petrol, B47 for 4 cylinder Diesel engines..
not correct.
