5w40 is not recommended for 320D ! That oil is not BMW04LL certified you will destroy the turbine and later the engine with it !

Thank you ! :)

"It hardly ever snows in the UK"... try coming up to Inverness mate.

I bought bought 320d. And i checked on bmw website and there is recall on my car for airbags and egr cooling. They will replace it for free nice. The only reason i bought is coz is max options all packages included and i love it

Excellent, thank you. Completley forgot about the fuel filter.......... Dave (F31)

Cleaning leather is mostly one of those things you notice by touch rather than look unless it's absolutely soiled.

Just picked up a 62 plate, 316d sport auto, 54800 on the clock 1 owner fsh from his local bmw branch, poly pocket full of receipt’s for it, pristine condition… so surfing these type of vids to pick up as much info as possible. Other than a little clunking from the drivers side it seems pretty damb like new🙏🏽🤷🏼‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Which year or engine code doesnt have the timing chain issues?

F31 is one of the best looking BMW in my point of view

Never use magnetic cheap nasty crap. BMW never recommends MAGNATEC OIL! WARNING BEWARE CAUTION! AMATEUR!

Drain plug socket??

what are you jacking on at the sides to allow you to put the stands in on the jack plates?

Take the oil cap off and filter out first before draining the oil. Just in case of problems then you still have oil in your car, if you drain the oil then can't change the filter or get the oil cap off or it cracks !!!!!! 25nm is the Toque for the oil plug bolt and oil filter cap, renew the copper washer. Check the belts hoses, drive shaft rubber gators and disc and pad brake wea,while you're underneath it. It'll only take 10 mins then instead of an oil service you've done a full service !

great review young man, well done.

Want more power? Get a 330D or 335D. Fuel economy and road tax won't be as good though. They're all good compromises between driving pleasure and fuel economy. It's a case of picking the compromise that suits you best.

ignition on and off doesnt work with F models, might be risky for hfp just for info

You are the best bruv

Good job Mate, I’ve just bought a 2009 BMW X5 with the same problem, typical BMWs eh!, I’ve subscribed to Your channel, Cheers Bruce 😎.

cheers

Good video Jim, I have the same engine. One question, does all old oil comes out if the car isn't parallel with the ground?

😄😄🤪🤪

Have you box 🤪🤪😄😄😄

Thanks

guys, is it safe to lift the car placing the jack next to the actual jack pads, as seen at 6:32 ?

Drifted my 335xd a few times it's terrifying how quickly you gain speed whilst driving in an xdrive

4:35 - 🤣🤒🤕

Think this video might have saved me around £200 in labour 😂 thanks a lot mate you’re a gem 1 in a million

Cheers kid full service next great video thanks

As someone who's thinking of buying a secondhand 3 series touring, this was a really really helpful review. As many others have said, it's far better than most reviews on the car you find online. Thanks! 👍

Great review and pretty much agree with all you said. I have a 2014 Efficency Dynamics version (and I love the boring steering wheel with flappies which still looks like new, is totally solid and more importantly is not to fat!), yes it is a bit down on power at 164 hp and has 16" wheels (which I also love) and I appreciate the touch more ground clearance. I have had it for 6 years from 12000 miles and it now has 70000. It has been totally reliable apart from the electric tailgate, despite me servicing it myself (have just done the gearbox). Yes would love the inline 6 but was pleasantly surprised by it's power (maybe because I wasnt expecting much). My other car is a V6 Amarok (which really is 2 ton) and the BM is definately faster and just feels so solid on the road. The the interior may seem boring but I love the idrive and the way it has held up just cries quality, still looks like the day I bought it despite much family abuse and 2 large dogs!

When dsc is off my car comes on comfort automatically from sports. Why is it so

11:30 tell me that's not a fart XD

Leather should be mate not shiny tho

Thanks this video is really good 👍 helped very much

I prefer the G21 version from 2019, interior and exterior but man, there 3 series Touring or not were always a dream since 2013

Thanks for putting this video together. Picking up my first BMW F30 320D in 3 days time, getting very excited now!

Will the oil filter cap still close even if ive missed the hole 🤣🤣 I can't see in as I close it so I'm just hoping it went in

Nice video does it matter much that the car is not level?

Great, looks easy and it’s good to keep on the oil due to the timing chains, just brought a sport tourer and going to do this myself

I’m getting one, but had a question. Is it common for these models to have issues with the trunk’s electronics. One, i’m getting, got it fixed, but it’s the second time i’ve heard of this issue.

Will this work for a 330e ?

Do something with this Check Engine Light on dash pls

This is The best f31 review yet. I found your personal comments very useful and relevant to my use-case. The points covered and filming style is simple and straightforward.. Thanks!

Too much effort for not much difference. Thanks for sharing

@jimdcars, Can you provide a video of glow plug replacement step by step? You have great videos!

It's how you look after it, and listen to it, drive it with mechanical sympathy.

How tall are you for reference?

Hello Jim D can you share the OE of Housing. I don't see the link below your video.
