Summit Point Shenandoah - 1:48 - Best Lap Time of Last Session - HPDE BMW CCA
Had a great weekend at Summit Point! Learned A LOT about car control this weekend. I was driving just about the same lap time the entire weekend but we experimented with a lot of different lines and ways to get weight to transfer. Jeff Mohan was my instructor and he did an amazing job of coaching me throughout the week.

First time I've ever driven my car on a track! I got a 1:32 on the Summit Point Jefferson Circuit. A big THANK YOU to Jim Koca for being my instructor for the weekend. The weekend wouldn't have been as successful as it was without him. Street tires and OEM brakes. Also the first time I've used this 360 camera.

What about a 2000 323ci, made before 9/2000…. That type needs the filter but pressure regulator as separate part… ugh
So Impressive 👀👍
I want my seat like those bro!!! Where I can get them done in San Bernardino Ca??
solid video super informative and chill vibe
You lost me at eBay parts
thanks!
E39 the better car in many ways , like more easy to work on
Thank you for uploading this! I've been studying your lines for an upcoming track day and your consistency is much appreciated. I feel like I have a great sense of the optimal lines now! Fantastic driving!
Terrible video didn’t do the bottom
I really like that color, reminds me a bit of the RR interior!
You barely explained anything 👎
So painted, not dyed.
Doing my first HPDE ever on the 16th and 17th, actually with BMW CCA. In fact first time ever going to be on a track at all. I'm just binge watching this on repeat trying to not look like a fool out there. Good study material, Thanks!
That's awesome! You're going to love it! Make sure to get some track pads and use good brake fluid. I got some brake fade with OEM pads my first ever track day (on Jefferson). Unfortunately, I'm not going to make it out to any track days this year :/
How about the ones underneath
Torque: Compressor hose fittings at compressor 20Nm Compressor fill plug 30Nm Compressor to block 22Nm
Can someone help me? I have a 2005 325i, I am wondering if there is a difference between the o2 sensors or are they the same? I need to replace 2, but I don't know which one to order. Thank you
I am pretty sure you need different O2 sensors than what I used. The later years used some wideband sensors I believe. Your best bet would be to go to realoem.com and look up your vehicle and see what O2 sensors it has listed there.
Are the two O2 sensors the same? Same part numbers?
What color is this Modena? Amazing results
great video
I need to start this job on my 2001 E46 330i. Thank you for sharing this great job!
Whatre the torque specs on guide pins and caliber bolts? Does anyone know?
How did these seats turn out ❓Did the dye quality last ❓
Thanks for the reply Randy. The pads actually had lots of life in them but the discs were rusty and very grooved but never mind, new sensors are not expensive
Still replying to comments on this post ? If so i need help 😂 ! I dont wonna sell my 330ci i got ah 02 sensor problem and da code P0172 came up , my car overheats im wondering if its because of da 02 sensor ? On da paper it says bank 1 , idk much bout cars i can send a pic of da diag paper let me know ✊🏽
I haven't posted in a while but I still get the notifications :) I guess it's possible the P0172 is causing the overheating but I feel like that's not likely? In general I'd be more concerned about the overheating issue. Could be air in your coolant system. Could be a bad water pump (I believe the fins are plastic and known to break). As for the P0172, I grabbed this list of possible causes from yourmechanic.com: - A dirty mass air flow sensor overstating the amount of air entering the engine which may cause excessive fuel delivery - A bad oxygen sensor - A leaking fuel injector allowing too much fuel to enter the combustion chamber - A faulty fuel regulator, which may not be regulating the pressure of the going to the engine as it should - A vacuum leak - A possible fault in the coolant system such as a stuck thermostat or bad coolant temperature sensor - Worn spark plugs If you replace your O2 sensor, I've come to realize you really do have to go OEM. Getting a non-oem o2 sensor has bit me multiple times in the past.
@@TheNewMechanic do you have an email or something ? Exchange phone numbers ? I pay if you help mannn let me know lmaoooo
Sorry I don't even have the e46 any more. Check out this forum post, seems very similar to yours: www.e46fanatics.com/threads/fuel-bank-1-and-2-rich-code.1079745/
Great helpful video but as you didnt have brake sensors fitted, i didnt know to remove them from the pads first. So they got broken and i now need to buy new ones!
Whoops! Sorry I didn't think to mention about it! However, if it makes you feel any better, I believe it's usually recommended to replace them each time anyways. And especially if you replaced your pads because the sensor light came on. The light comes on when the pad sensor wears against the rotor and causes it to open the electrical loop. In which case the sensor's electrical loop is permanently open and you would need a new sensor. I simply bought cheap ones on Amazon since it's just a wire encased in some sort of plastic - nothing that any aftermarket company can't easily make.
Hi , what is the name color ? Or code ?
Hey thanks for watching! It's actually a custom-matched color that I had Leather World Technologies (leatherworldtech.com/deluxe-leather-repair-kit/) make for me. I used a paint card that I got at Lowes of "Japanese Koi" from Behr paints (www.behr.com/consumer/ColorDetailView/P210-7) and sent it to them. If you have any questions for them definitely reach out. I spoke with Shawn from Leather World Tech and he was extremely helpful.
Thank you for information, I hope you may have more videos for BMW 325 Ci
Awesome thanks
All of these videos were great and thorough wow.
Update: after doing all that work, turns out my system didn't need know compressor,just needed a condenser fan...lol
Excellent video, no excessive talking, loved the high speed moving forward. Good work, I wish more videos would get to the point like you do...
I have learned so much from this video, TY. However, out of the old compressor, I pulled,2.5 oz out of it, the new however had only ,5 oz. I, put in, 3 oz, like you did and filled all the other pieces like you. Hope, I am correct
Hello, I did everything you did on you video, the needle move at first but when I eab it for, 45 minutes, the pump stopped and the low pressure side moved, help
I had the 325I Dinan 3 I hated every second of it. If I didn’t use 91 octane, the car would turn off, that was always expansion tank leaks, every sensor would go off. It was a fun car to drive. It was fast, but I hated it I look similar to your car, but mine was a 2005.
Where do you go for track day? I see you are in Maryland
Wow mane you did the damn thang on those seats 🤩
You went fast on most important part🤦🏾♂️
Oh no!!!!!..... what was the most important part? haha
@@TheNewMechanic I’m just going to wing it did you unplug the battery before you did it? Or is it ok to leave it plugged up
@@Intheclouds-ur1yo Whoops I meant to reply right away and but got distracted #ADHD, sorry about that! When in doubt, you can always unplug the battery. This was a couple years ago but I don't think I did. However, I also don't know what the actual BMW workshop manual says. The O2 sensors actually create their own voltage once they get up to temperature and the DME is going to watch/listen/read those voltages to determine the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases. I'd be surprised if unplugging and replugging them in could cause an issue. But again, I'm not 100% certain and even though it didn't cause an issue for me doesn't mean it couldn't cause an issue..... Warnings cause I don't want to be liable for any issues you have :)
I wish I saw this before having a garage do it. Parts and labor were quite expensive. Video very well done. Thanks
Ight so someone needa tell me how tf he got the belts off so easy
Thanks guys for watching! I no longer have the e46 but I've learned a lot since this video. Hope it was useful!
Thank you for the information, much appreciated 👍🏼
Just finished. Thanks a million 👍
is this for the p2240?
Getting ready to do this on my E36. Specs are 4.7oz for the whole system. Going to add 1.5oz to compressor, 1oz to condenser and 1oz to dryer. I didn’t see him add oil to the components in the video. Did I miss it?
Thanks! Was going to replace the large front control arm bushings only but realized that there are actually three bushings on each control arm. Better to replace the entire arm with new as you did.
Which socket did you end up using for the strut nut?
If ye answer comments or no, hopefully ye do. Would tha F-connecter vacuum hose cause a rough idle or rough running? I have fuel trim codes, as well as MAF codes, and rough running. Changed MAF and boots. Still running very rough. Thinking maybe fuel filter, but wondering if should change out that vacuum line as well.
Anything that would allow air into the vacuum (anything after the MAF sensor) could cause a rough idle/rough running. So any vacuum lines which are cracked and would allow air in could do it. The disa valve gasket is another common cause of a vacuum leak. And I believe the disa valve itself not working could cause a rough idle as well.
hello my car is 525i n52b25a 2009 model, same problems, i have changed the catalyst and oxygen sensors, but I still get the warning of too much air, less fuel, what do you suggest I do?
@@TheNewMechanic thank you for the info i will do a smoke test to investigate the problem
