Your video reminds me of a video on youtube of a guy (Vehicular DIY channel) replacing the rod bearings on a bmw n54 engine. He mistakenly torqued the rod bolts 70 degrees 2x when he was only supposed to do it 1 time and nobody caught it. The bearings were destroyed soon afterwards. He took it apart to try and find out what happened and all of the rod bearings showed the same kind of damage. He said he measured the rod ends fully torqued with the same as before, 70 degrees 2x, and he said he found "no distortion" of the rod cap. He suspected the King bearings but an extra 70 degrees of torque is a hell of a lot more torque. I'm glad your viewers caught your mistake before the car was started
Very well done!! I am pulling a E70 M57 right now, cylinder 3 is down to 180psi on compression. Great video. I could not imagine doing UA-cam videos that wasn't in my native language, my hat is off to you sir.
I second that motion! Best M57 content I have found. Since this my favorite BMW engine, due to both its reliability and the power and torque capabilities, I very much appreciate the content. Thanks in advance!
@Soy Yo, I drove to him from Sweden for maintenance of my m57. This summer, I will do it again. It is worth every mile and you are certain that your car gets good care. Besides that,,the city where he is in is a beautiful city by the sea.
Молодец, у меня на Х5 Е70 М57 треснула головка и лопнула прокладка, делаю рибилд на ней. 330,000 км, хорошая тачка, она у нас уже 12 лет. Жалко что таких как ты здесь в Канаде нет, настоящий мастер.
Bar the ground strap you rebuilt an entire M57 Engine and there wasn't any problems, that's got to be a good feeling! I sometimes get half way through a job and wonder if that's the last time the engine will ever start lmao. Thanks for the brilliant series, hopefully when I get my X5 I'll strip my E90 M57n2 and rebuild it and I'm sure I'll be using some of your videos haha.
Huge thanks for doing this series! My E61 530xd LCI has a hole or a broken ring in the 3rd piston due to a bad injector. When pressurised at TDC with all valves closed air is leaking through the oil cap. I have a video of the leak test here in my YT channel. Your videos will be a huge help when rebuilding the engine. EDIT: it had a crack in the cylinder wall. The engine is now rebuild and ready to fire up tomorrow.
Hi Crank this was very interesting series as l drive 06 X5 with M57 so lm learning about diesel engine with 192k km's , it is good to see what is involved in a full rebuild..thanks for sharing your video mate..look forward to more from you..and customer drove to Bulgaria from UK , that says a lot...hopefully the customer will give feedback in a few months on the job :D
Great job, very good skills, it was really interesting and detailed. I enjoyed to watch these series. Amazing engine M57 ! Keep up with excellent work !
Always look forward to your videos.. Quick question on my 2012 BMW X5 E70 35d.. issues with the A82E and cannot find a replacement GWS.. Any recommendations
Hello. I follow your videos attentively and congratulations for this nice work. I have taken a lot of inspiration from you. I am remaking a 286hp m57306d5 engine and I do not understand English in your videos. Thanks to Google translate 😁. What is the tightening torque for crankshaft caps? Why do you have to remove the oil pan and retighten? Thanks in advance. Regards Julian
Obviously great job ! These bimmers age well for 2007 model looks not that much dated. Not to mention that after the rebuild the engine sounds as smooth as mine which is 2016 model. Well done honestly.
@@crank3646 The sad reality is BMW in my opinion manufactures fantatic straight 6 engines and rubbish 4 cylinder ones. And up to date apart from the M petrol cars they do only 330d and 340d(same engine) with 6 cylinder. Obviously they are still super expensive even for Uk so will keep my f30 330d for as long as I can. Hoping for the best as changing oil every 15k kilometers. For 3 years of ownership haven't had a single issue just oil, brake fluid and set of front tyres and front pads. The car still has the original suspension and original discs(soon to be replaced as have a leap on). I am considering changing the ZF gearbox oil at some points( just preventative maintenance). Regarding intervals- bmw said I don't need to do that; my garage suggested 60k miles /100k kilometers. What is your opinion on that one?
@@thepharcyde8285 I have several videos with N57 engines, they are really, lets say gentle :D At 150-200k timing chains, bearings + oil pump is mandatory. About the 8 speed ZF, we are service them btw 50-80k km, depends on the owners driving.
Hi Crank, first to praise the effort to record this video and everything related to m57, great job. Crank I have one problem on my e60 525d 130kw 177hp, if you could watch the video on my profile and give an expert opinion what the problem is. Thanks and as many videos like this as possible.
Crazy great work for M57 ! but i dont get it i just realise is an UK car when there those right drive are totaly crazy cheap to buy with small milleage. many interesting option are missing on the car of this owner i dont get it. but with your job we learn alot thank you and you will make even that other M57 videos ;)
Thanks Fraizer! The car is in good condition overall, probably it was going to be cheaper to buy a running E63. Still it is going to require some maintenance, which we did here, except the cylinder head job ofc :D
you can start the engine for the first time without the intake manifold. You will probably ask what about the EGR valve, just do not install it, and let the exhaust gases just flow from the pipe
@@crank3646 cool. thanks for the videos I like them and they are very helpful for someone who is going to do it for the first time. I make a note of the intake manifold at the very end and this is just my advice, everyone does it in their own way.

We going to see about it :)

Thank you for tour time. I'm a owner of m57. I Hope some day i will bring my 5series to you. You are the BEST. Greetings from Spain
Thanks Soy Yo!

Евала ,човече ,че се опитваш и продължаваш да буташ в тази насока с видеата в канала . Продължавай в същия дух ! :)
Мерси! :)

Very well done. Superb work on what is one of the best engines ever made , not to mention with more than a little complication.
Thanks! Yes one of the last reliable diesel engines
@@crank3646 Correct, with maintenance I have seen some truly massive mileages from this engine!
M57 is best........very robust engine........I have gad mine for years now, coupled with the strong 6 speed manual transmission.......

Thanks for watching Nico!
Nico i won't tell Andrew and Dave I caught you cheating on them😂😂😂😂😂 American regards 😉😉😉
@@igotaction 😎😂😂. Yep, and I' m also a subscriber at Cleetus ,AdamLZ and Taylor Ray. So a lot of cheating😂🤗Cheers
Hello, nice Video. How is the blow-by on this "new engine" now? Does it smoke a bit when you open the Oil-Cap while running?
that's a very good question. I'm also curious, please reply

Are there any special things filling in the cooling water?
Well done! How much does a engine rebuild like this cost?
Very nice and detailed video my friend. My 335d with m57 after rebuilt it makes a bit more noise. Is it normal?? Maybe the valve push rods?
Obviously great job ! These bimmers age well for 2007 model looks not that much dated. Not to mention that after the rebuild the engine sounds as smooth as mine which is 2016 model. Well done honestly.
Thanks! If there were 2022 BMW with this engine, for sure it was going to be sold much more than the ones with newer generation engines

Готин,как бих могъл да се свържа с теб?Имам бърз въпрос,свързан с едно старо видео.Няма да отнеме повече от две минути.Благодаря предварително.
great video mate. what diagnostic/program is that?
Thanks! Launch X431
Hi Crank, first to praise the effort to record this video and everything related to m57, great job. Crank I have one problem on my e60 525d 130kw 177hp, if you could watch the video on my profile and give an expert opinion what the problem is. Thanks and as many videos like this as possible.
Excellent job
Thanks! :)
Awesome work, where are you based?
I have bmw 330d 231hp with timing chain broken which you advise change to used engine or rectifying head and mount engine again ?
Rebuild it if its possible, it is always better than unknown engine
Awesome job 👍
How is the car doing now? Engine still going strong?
Great video, what software were you using? Is it being used on a tablet like an ipad or is that its own system?
how can i bleed the common rail system without scanning

Hi, i rebuild my engine but Now only starts whitout inteke manifold and whitout the air mass flow i dont know why
Solve problem?
