We fixed this… waste of money to replace entire unit… the gear gets eaten away and needs to be replaced. The part cannot be disassembled inside so we need to cut the shaft and at the end couple it back together. But it works… will post video soon on my channel. And guess what.. the repair only costs a fraction of a new unit,..
Nice film, ever thought can use 3D Molding to replace the central plastics white wheel ? will it be better to always keep the spoiler up manually if drive frequently with speed over 120 km/hr, or other potential problems ?
I produce the plastic wheel. The wheel is not the hard part. Hard part is that you have to cut the rod in order to remove it and then connect the two ends of the rod back together and have them aligned properly.
It is a bad design from the customer's perspective, but it's designed to fail and bring in significant reveniue especially if they then ship the "broken" parts back to BMW where a technician can just replace the plastic and sell it again as renewed OE.
I've had the same problem when the spoiler is frozen, you can't turn off the automatic function that it goes up, and talked to BMW that they have designed a self-destructing car. Of course they didn't think so, but that's the reality
You have to cut the rod apart and mark it for alignment after the replacement. Its not a simple plug&play process…. You need some skill to do it. You need a threading tool, a connection tube, two rivets and a gear. You cannot buy a gear online. I am the only source pf the gear and a set to fix the issue… also the way you press on the new gear is important because if you press it wrong, it will not work… i offer a set to fix it, or i accept the complete housings which i fix and then send back. I had dozens of costumers around Europe they are all happy. Sometimes there can be an issue, but if it occurs, we solve it….
Nice video.
I have the same problem.
Were can I buy the Plastik gear?
Thanks for helping

@@Krepstify no. You have to buy a kit from me to fix it and be a DIY guy… not so easy to fix but its fixable.
@@KristjanS-Kristeh price ?

Good day
I have a problem with the motor electric.
Do you know where i can buy the motor electric?

You can't buy just the motor unfortunately. BMW dealer will sell only entire unit. Check on Ebay what's out there.

should have used a 3 d printer to copy the good one he would make a fortune selling them.
Знаю где купить такую шестерню из металла
Где?
promosm ?
You are too close to the car. I cannot tell what you are doing.
Has anyone found a solution to the gear problem?
Yes. We replace the gear. Costs a fraction of the price of a new unit.
@@KristjanS-Kristeh How do u replaced the gear? I couldn't remove it from the construction.

@@gordonkracht5776 cut the rod, remove the gear. It takes a lot of force as its pressed on there. Also mounting a new one needs a lot of force.
@@KristjanS-Kristeh do you have the kit available? how much is it? are you able to ship it in EU? Thank you
