Thanks for watching.
Maaaan, I started watching the clip with, meh, another BM, let's hope the guys can save it, to get to the end rooting for it like it's in champion's league final, coooome oooone, get 120!!!!! 😂 Great stuff, guys! Keep it going! Cheers!
Ha ha brilliant man!! Im glad we converted you! It was tense wasn't it? Imagine what jono felt ha ha 😅 did you see his face when it was all OK tho!? I bet he felt a massive relief ha ha was it you that doesn't like beemers?
@@TransformotionVR Jono's face was priceless :)) So glad it worked out fine :D Also, I love beemers, so i'll be happy to see this one too back on the road :D I was meh just because this one in particular seemed like the common variety kind, engine wise, but Jono made it special by the end of clip with his enthusiasm. Good luck with the rest of the build! Cheers!
Nice one mate, thanks for following along on the journey 👍 😀
I was laughing at you in the boot when you could have lifted the bonnet and powered it up from there 😂😂
Ha ha 🤣🤣 we I think we was focusing on getting the terminal on the battery and didn't think of powering it from there 😄
Not gonna lie, I was nervous for Jono when they did the compression test, but that sh*tty spark plug gave me a lot of hope. I know what it's like when the heart has fallen for a car, it's soul-crushing when any issues happen. Plus it was revving fairly smoothly with the car having to guess how much fuel to use, so that is (to my dumb mind) another good sign the engine is good. Fresh battery, new MAF, filter and some fresh fuel and hopefully it's a winner.
I do like how much more confident that lads are on camera, you've come a long way in a short time, love the channel.
Nice one brother! 👍 we truly appreciate that, we're not the most confident people on camera but we do feel like we're making process so for someone to say we're getting better means a lot! And hopefully it is just the maf sensor now to make it run properly! Fingers crossed
@@TransformotionVR deffo down to missing maf sensor now
It's the little wins that keep hopes up! Well done guys. I hope you can get this car back on the road and give Jono his drifter! 😎
It sure is! We're getting the hopes in tiny bit but it's better than not getting them, I hope we can get to the bottom of it on the next video so we can start turning it into a drifter 😁
...also you're bloody lucky to have split folding rear seats, such a rare option on these!!
Is it? Ha ha it'll probably get ripped out when it becomes a drifter 😆
"Missing a squirter" got me,I can't lie 😂😅
Id normally make a "ya maa" joke there but we're trying not to put so many beeps in ha ha 😂
Me too. It's been a while
@@TransformotionVR 😁🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
As soon as I get a notification, I know the likely lads are here to entertain the nation. Well done on another great video laaaaaa.
Ha ha nice one laaaa! 🤣🤣 genuinely thank you! All this support means a lot!
It sounded awful outside copart and I thought oh crap! Fitting new plugs was a big difference. When you get the maf and an air filter and lid it will be different again I hope. Fingers crossed for the drifting dream to become a reality 🤞🙏
It wasn't a good first impression was it ha ha each thing we do we get it a tiny bit closer ha ha hopefully them bits sort it out and we can weld the diff and go and do some skids ha ha 😂 thanks for watchin mate 😀
I would recommend, drain the fuel tank and put fresh in just to rule that out as it could have been sat for a while. That's if the MAF doesn't fix the issue. I've seen a few instances with stale fuel causing starting/low power issues particularly since the introduction of E10.
Thanks mate, not a bad shout! The maf is ordered so when it arrives we'll try it, if you see us draining fuel on the next video....you know why ha ha 😂
Cliffhanger central. Love the warts n all attitude of the channel. Looking forward to the next one. All the best from Bali.
Ha ha im glad you enjoyed it mate! We'll show the wins and the losses, no point hiding things is there? 👌
We had to bin the wife’s i10 last week. Jumped 4 teeth on the exhaust cam so it went for spares and repairs. Some guy from skem has it now. Keep an eye out for it😂😂43k on the clock as well!!!!
Ahh did it bent some valves? Should have had a go at fixing it ha ha 😉
@@TransformotionVR didn’t sound too great! Recovery said it was the coil pack!! As it was a previous cat s, I didn’t want to throw any more cash at it.
Ahh fair enough mate, it might have went again with a new belt and tensioner tho....you never know ha ha
1.2 by any chance? I'm about to scrap an i20 that's either jumped a tooth or stretched. Seems quite common on them
😬😬😬
Can't believe you kicked the girly air freshener out the boot, lads! 😂
Great video, love this channel. You guys have top skills but have a right laugh at the same time... 😂👏
Ha ha 😂 🤣 it had ran out of scent! 🤣 thanks mate, we appreciate you taking the time to comment on all our videos! I'm sure we'll meet one day! 😉 life would be boring and stressful if you couldn't have a laugh wouldnt it?! 😁
“Ran out of scent” 😂😂😂
Cheers for the giggles 😂
Ha ha no worries 😂....you started it 🤣 😜
We were all on the edge of our seats hoping it would run better and it did with the censor in it will ❤
Ha ha gripping stuff! We've ordered the maf sensor now so hopefully that sorts it out 😉
One of my favourite videos so far! Keep it up guys great content!! 🤞for Skiddy Saffa👍
Ha ha 😂 thanks mate! Can't wait till it works properly....he's so attached already! And I get to do some skids too ha ha
Another good video boys, had my fingers crossed on every cylinder test 😂, good news
Ha ha thank you mate, that's the support we need ha ha 😂 im glad they were all even for him! I can't wait till it runs properly so we can do some skids 😁
Hopefully once you get the new sensor, filter and sort out the limp mode, it will just be bodywork (we can all dream, it is a BMW after all) 😁👍
That's the dream mate ha ha let's hope it is just that! The bodywork is the easy bit after all 😉
😂😂😂jonnos face after the compression test 😂😂
Ha ha it lit up didn't it! 🤣🤣🤣 bless him ha ha its a nice little win that tho!
20k subs soon lads, well deserved 👍 hope there’s more RR content coming soon?
Yeah not far off 20k now, we need another big video to push past it! Thanks Mike! We'll have one up hopefully in a couple of weeks
If a MAF doesn't help it, look for Valvetronic and Vanos fault codes. If the valvetronic motor is dead it won't get enough inlet valve lift. If you disconnect the valvetronic sensor (small round plug at the front of the cam cover) it should go to a default setting and run better. An inlet vanos fault code is potentially bad news - it's wear in the front inlet cam bearing ledge that bleeds off too much oil pressure so the vanos can't actuate. They were a nice engine but can be a bastard at this age.
Thank you mate, we appreciate your help. It sounds like you know what you're talking about ha ha it does have a valvetronic fault code and we've already ordered one so that's the next step, i might try and unplug it in the meantime to see if it changes 😉 👍
Quality 👌 I was saying order the air flow meter with the plugs 😂
Nice one mate! It's been ordered now so as soon as it comes we'll throw it on 😁 hopefully that sorts it
@@TransformotionVR I think it will be fine, the car is in good hands
Nice one man! 👍
One of my favourite videos so far!!!
Thanks mate, we're glad you liked it what was it that made it your favourite?
Great story so far! Glad it's working, hopefully you won't overspend massively 😂
Keep up the good work lads 😁 🖖
Thanks mate, it's working but only at 60-70% but it's looking like it should run properly once we find the issue, I hope it's just the missing air flow meter....Will do mate 😀
Little victories... well done lads... Save Ferris
Thanks mate 👍 we've got a couple more bits to chuck on in the next update, let's hope that sorts it 😀
Great video as always boys, keep up the great content, O and It’s not a E46 😂 I think it’s a E92
Nice one mate, hows your channel coming along? We corrected ourselves on screen, its a 4 door so it the e90, the e92 was the same shape but the coupe ✌️
Iv not been doing any content to be honest, been busy with other things. But thanks for asking ❤
No worries mate, don't forget to look at our community post for the chance to win a bluepoint socket set
I dont know why, but every time i watch one of your videos i find myself jumping into a scouse accent. I love it there la 😂
Ha ha do you tell everyone to "calm down calm down" ha ha (I hope youve seen Harry enfield) 😄
the boot lock is vertical near the number plate lights. Just look up from below and you'll see the boot lock.
Ha ha we've found it since, another subscriber commented so we had a look ha ha thanks anyway mate 👍
I was "with you" throughout the compression test.. :)
Ha ha I think most people were in suspense over that! 😅 it turned out OK in the end 👌
Im currently breaking a silver e90, and have a very cheap bonnet available. However im in kent.
P.s. also have a silver wing, but this is an LCI version.
How cheap is this cheap bonnet? Ha ha 😂 whats the difference in the lci wings? Is it the later model? 🤔
Great bargain. That was a simple cure to get the engine running better. Whoever had this before missed this simple trick, and its their loss. Its on its way to being transformotioned into a Fast and Furious drifter. I was worried if it was going to be a runner or a bag of nails, and I'm glad it was OK.
Well it's not out of the woods yet, it's a lot better but still needs tinkering with! But I'm confident that it'll be up and running in the near future
@TransformotionVR in your capable hands it will be. The A Team will prevail
Ha ha thank you for the confidence mate 👍 😀
Brilliant content ! Well done guys !
This is real life content, with the good things and the bad things, the discussions remind me of my discussions with my mate when we repair cars together.
On that note, I’ve bought an E91 330d Manual, non runner, crank no start, bodywork is good, and
I’m really struggling, as I’ve discovered cylinder 1 has no compression whilst all the other 5 cylinders have only 65psi, and to my knowledge they should be around 200psi as it’s a diesel.
I’m so torn about getting rid of it, it’s beautiful black estate with a brilliant engine yet I believe the timing has jumped which might have lead to the valves being bent on cylinder 1.
I’m surprised that all other cylinder have the exact same low compression value.
Do I really need to take the head off to establish the damage ?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Great work guys and keep doing what you are doing !
Thanks mate, we like to keep it real ha ha weather that's good or bad, as for your car, it's hard to say without seeing it but it does sound like it could be the timing, it'd be hard to get all the cylinders down on compression the exact same, have you got any diagnostics? Go on live data and see if the cam and crank are synchronised, if you're definitely going to repair it you may aswell just pull the head but if it all depends on valves being bent you can get a cheap endoscope that'll work off your phone, just remove cylinder 1 injector and chuck it down into the cylinder, they even have a torch on the end. I hope you get it sorted mate, feel free to comment if you need to ask about anything, if we know we'll tell you 😀
Edge of the seat stuff this … 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Ha ha at least the compression test came back OK 👍 that's the main thing, now to find out why it won't rev properly 😁
If you close your eyes and just listen, it’s just like Harry Enfileds scouser seen 😅 “calm down calm down”😅😅
🤣🤣🤣
There is a key blade that slides out of the key case so you can open the boot without going through the rear seats.
I know about the key but didn't see a key hole in the boot 😆 ill take a look tomorrow when I'm near the car 😉
@@TransformotionVR Aaahhh, apologies bro, I thought that you maybe didn’t know about the key blade part. However, I would imagine that there will be a boot lock, as that would kind of defeat the purpose of the key blade I would have thought. Also, keep up the entertaining & good content on your videos 👌🏻
No worries mate, even if somthings quite obvious it's still worth pointing out incase the other person doesn't know 😉 it has a key hole in the drivers door but because the battery wasn't connected the central locking wouldn't have worked anyway....but I am going to look at the boot tomorrow to see if it has a key hole 😉
You can see it's a lemon without starting it it's got 3 dipsticks lol😊
🤫
Nice work, was praying those numbers would be good, looks like the engine just might be OK....
Yeah its on the low side but the main thing is they're all even! So should mean nothing catastrophic has gone wrong and will run good once we find the problem, air flow already ordered 😉
The valvetronic system on the car and the timing chain needs to be checked,it’s a common problem and should definitely be ok the top of the list before even considering shredding it around a track.
Funny you should say that, we've put it on the diagnostics today and it's got a valvetronic fault so we've just ordered one 😉 thanks for your suggestions, keep them coming 😉
Nice one !
Thanks mate 👍
Nice one 👍great that it runs should be abit smoother once you get a maf and air filter and air box lid fitted keep up the great work and look forward to the next one 😎
Yeah let's hope so! Ha ha it feels like it's in limp mode too as its very slow to rev and won't go over 2.5k rpm, im sure we'll sort it 😉
@@TransformotionVR you’ll sort it 😉it’ll be like that as it’s missing the maf sensor it’ll rev properly once one’s fitted 👍
Thanks for having confidence in us, I hope it does mate 👍 ha ha
@@TransformotionVR 👍
First impressions, it would appear you might have a good one there lads, fingers crossed❤.
I hope it is for jonos sake! I mean it's looking like it's going to be OK like but we'll see in the next video 😉
Great work lads❤️👌💪🤘🤟
Nice one man! 👍 thanks for watching and supporting the channel 😀
Side ways Saffa 🤣
Ha ha cracking name that init, i do prefer the skiddy saffa tho! 🤣 I'm gonna have to get some stickers made 😄
Really hope this turns out good for Jono
Ha ha me too! We don't like any of the team losing out! I mean he could pull the engine out and sell that for the price of the car but he's already attached ha ha 😂
I think it will cost Jono a lot of galaxy cookies 😂
He best get stocking up on cookies then ha ha 😂 can't beat cookies as a suprise treat tho 😋
Hi, my car needs an engine replacement. 2011 335ix E90 AWD n55 ,,, I have a complete car engine with a gearbox, a 2011 F10 535i, an N55 engine. I noticed that the engine is almost the same, but the gearbox is a little different. What do I do to make this engine work on my car? Do I just need to install it and I do not need to do anything, or do I have to modify it? Some things to work with, thank you
"They were camouflage seat belts" v camouflage police car, equals up to a £500 fine.
I hope Matt will be impressed with the video ...........
I'm sure they're busy doing stuff that's a lot more important with all the cuts they're getting
The K&N sticker is saying more about the cars condition than the obvious crashed bits me thinks, I mean, who needs spark plugs anyway ?
To us we thought a boy racer type lad had it before but we found girls shoes and other girly bits in there....could have been a girl racer ha ha 😂 them plugs hadn't been changed in years!
Nice one laa's
Thanks mate 👍 👌
Probably be better compression if you put foot fully on throttle
I've heard of somthing like that, why does it give better compression?
Deffo do compression test with throttle open as more air can entre system
Also do compression test when engine is warm
I might re do them then see what difference it makes 🤔 do you have to unplug the injectors?
Hmm I might have to try that and see what difference it makes, do you need to unplug the injectors?
He’s been for a swim 🏊 flooded perhaps
We thought it might have at first but all the carpets are dry and doesn't smell of damp, if it had hydro locked im sure the compression would be down on a cylinder or two 😉
is the narrator south african?
Yes mate, thats our editor. He's the one who's actully bought the car
@@TransformotionVR biggest support coming all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦!
Lekker boet 🤙🫶
Check injectors
When we have the maf and fresh juice if it still runs rubbish we will thanks mate
@@TransformotionVR keep up the good work, great channel lads 💪
Nice one mate we appreciate that! Are you new to the channel?
@@TransformotionVR been following from the start coming from matt’s channel
Thanks mate, we appreciate yous all!
I know everything you need to no about this car, as iv got one and done a lot of stuff to it. I’ll keep a eye out incase you need help.
Good man! Any help or advice is always welcome! Don't be shy ha ha 😂
It would have been easier with the trailer !
It would have but there somthing on it that didn't run when we picked this up and it was less than a mile down the road 😉
Not a e46
It does say on screen e90 as we realised the mistake
👍🏻👌🏻
Nice one again ha ha 😂
Taking in took much air
Yeah could be, we've ordered an air mass meter now so we'll see how she runs when that's fitted
What ya expect for 500 quid
For £500 id expect a £500 car 😉 this engine broke is worth more than that
Who the feck leaves a jam-rag in the boot???🤢🤣
🤣🤣🤣 bad that init! 🤢🤮
C'mon, 3 of you in the van without seat belts on. It isn't rocket science to know stuff like this especially when posting videos on social media!
They were camouflage seat belts 😬
Cool Scouse boiz are above seatbelts apparently 🙄
It was clearly a joke mate, it was less than a half a mile up the road. But yeah they should have been on. And it's boys 😉👍
I bet your fun at party’s. FFS
😬🤭😂😂
Jammy rag
🤢🤮🤮🤮

my E38 the batterys in boot t he AA man said never jump onto the battery youl blow everything only under the bonnet + & -
I've never heard of that personally 😳
@@TransformotionVRno idea just what the guy said yeh like you put the jump pack under the bonnet on the posotive then find an earth ,but dont do it straight on the battery in the boot blows the ECU .
@@TransformotionVR he said becouse the battery is in the boot if you put jump pack on battery its too much power going through the whole car only the posotive block under bonnet ,maybe im getting it wrong .
Maybe he's wrong? When the battery is being charged by the alternator it gets over 14v pumped back into it anyway, the jump pack only put that in anyway 🤯
@@TransformotionVR so why have i got posotive red terminal under my bonnet for jumping when battery is in boot . and my son climbed through back seats to open boot my wife said why didnt you pull boot leaver under steering wheel . i did and it opend
Why would you bother with that for that price lol
Because its a manual 330i
E90 lol😂
I know, we did correct ourselves on screen 😉
@@TransformotionVR no worries like the content keep it up
Will do bud, thanks for watching
Yah,another shxt box saved from the grave
We all love a nice sh#t box! Soon it'll all just be EV's everywhere so we need to save as many as possible
Apologies I hope I didn’t offend you with my comment,I really didn’t mean too, I love your channel
Nah I'm thick skinned ha ha it came across like you didn't want them saving (and that's ok) but we like the fossile fuel cars (mainly petrol) the way the car market is going we won't have things like this is 20-30 years so trying to keep them going as long as possible. Don't be sorry for an opinion ha ha and thank you for supporting us we appreciate that mate 👍
Work on these day in day out put money on a bum coil pack
If the maf doesn't sort it I'll look into that mate, thank you for the heads up!
@@TransformotionVR loving the content lately it’s bang on
Nice one mate, we appreciate that! If this works we can go and do a drift day at a local track...that should be fun 😁
