What is the torque spec for the two head bolts in front of the timing chains? Two on both sides of the engine right behind the timing covers?
Just came across your channel thank you for your videos i just purchased a n62 from e60 im gonna attempt and try to do a rebuild for the first time!
@@ryanm2525 thanks for the positive feedback and good luck 👍🏻
Do you use the factory amp for the sound
Why would you want to put something so modern in a classic car . It just does not look right at all.
Hi, I've got a BMW X5 2005 e53 4.8is Automatic, 99k miles, and I've got running boards, since I purchased the car in January 23, I've converted it to run on LPG and it's so much better than petrol, no loss of power or performance, I've tinted the windows, 4 new 20 inch tyres, new battery, new ignition coils and plugs. New front discs and brakes, front and rear diffs serviced, automatic transmission fluid and filter change, new xtrons head unit, new id4motion instrument cluster, and this is just the start! My e53 X5 4.8iS is without a doubt the best car I've ever owned, and being the 4.8iS V8 this car is rare, and fast becoming a classic, it will only go up in value. Did I mention the sound of the Awesome V8 "Burble"? STUNNING!!! BEST WISHES 🤗👏👏🏴🏴
@@andrewlloyd4702 haha thanks! Sounds like, you have one healthy and good looking x5
What is this for radio? I need this too
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Thanks for sharing! I replaced my timing chain guides, valley pan, water accumulator gaskets, timing & VC gaskets, plugs & coils, it still runs rough though... sounds like exhaust leak kind of.. i dont have shavings in oil filter no guides in oil pan.. re-timed motor with GAS kit, i just found another coolant leak behind the alternator..😏 & i think my tensioner is bad also.. ty
Which junk yard did you go to find the running boards and other parts? Thanks.
nice
😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤
Oo ruslan Salam brat ))) ya tozhe postavil no visako kachaet porezat ne variant? Ilizhe kakoi razmeri novix springov
Salam Brat! Bro я его вообще удалил и поставил H&R springs, где-то 2” спустил и не каких проблем.
How many inches new springs?
07:00 I like the hammer as the only equipment visible. Best tool to work on the e38 :D
Why are you struggling to breathe?
У меня рест 4.4 в редком цвете. Чуть светлее твоего. На канале у меня есть видео
I have a 1998 E38 but it doesn't have the Nav system, it has the radio head, graphic equalizer and cassette player. I would love to install this setup along with the backup camera. Seeing as how it didn't come with the Nav system setup I'm assuming the wiring harness may be missing all the connections required to install this unit. I love this car and I've owned it since it was two years old. I just want to update to a more modern format and keep fixing every last thing to keep it looking and working like new. This would be a great option to add if possible. My car has the six disc CD changer in the back that I never use. Every time you hit a bump the CD jumps to another song or just skips while playing. I looked around for a way to install a blue tooth unit somewhere in the car so I could sync my android phone to it but apparently there's nothing out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yours it’s just plug and play, you don’t need to pull wiring from the trunk, just get a nav frame from facelift e38 2000 or 2001 and everything you need just all up in the front when you remove your old stereo system.
@@bmw_fanatic Ok I've still got a couple questions. My understanding is that since my DSP unit is in the dashboard no wire needed from the trunk correct? If so that would be great as I had an accident and became disabled and confined to a wheelchair. I'm used to doing everything myself and there's no way in hell I could run that wire from the trunk up to the unit without a whole lot of help. Most of my friends are not what I would call mechanically inclined. Does this new head unit come with it's own GPS antenna installed or will I have to use my Android phone connected in order to use the GPS? Since this car never came with a backup camera I would still need to run those wires from the camera up to the new head unit correct? I doubt there's any provisions for that in the existing wiring harness since there wasn't a factory installed backup camera in the car originally. My hope is I can just get my mechanic to run that wire for me and I can finish the rest. In this video at minute mark 18;30 you talk about the LED light settings. My tail lights were shot and had water in them and the lenses were just pretty bad so I ended up purchasing a new set of LED tail lights from CARID.com. They had a more updated look and were less costly than OEM lights that weren't that attractive to begin with. Needless to say when I received them and installed them only the tail lights and brake lights were LED's the backup light and directional light were still incandescent bulbs. I had no problem with that but before I purchased the lights I had read some blogs on the Bimmer forum on the topic and they said to make sure the tail lights had the resistors built into them so the computer wouldn't keep throwing up messages on the instrument cluster to check the lights. CARID assured me that these had them built in so I'd be all good. They were all good for a while but then I started getting "Check Brake Lights" and "Check Tail Lights" messages on many occasions when I turned the car off. Sometimes while I was driving the car but that was more rare of an event. The issue that I keep having is the Tail lights always work and the brake lights always worked when I was getting these messages so I just figured that it was a resistor issue and it was screwing up the computer. I just put up with the issue after my mechanic checked the lights to make sure the resistors were actually in the lights and they were indeed there and he checked the resistance and said they checked out so technically I should be all good. Unfortunately I started having issues with the directional lights intermittently not working. Just a fast blinking on the cluster and the front directional light blinking fast while the tail light directional didn't blink at all. Every time this happens I've never gotten a message on the instrument cluster to check directional bulbs, not one time. Sometimes it would be both directional lights in the tail lights or just one of them. Sometimes a fast blinking for only six or seven blinks and then it would go back to normal and the light would start blinking in the tail light again. It's like every time I get into the car and drive it and I use the turn signals it's a crapshoot as to whether they'll actually work or not. Frustrating as hell to say the least and not very safe. When they aren't blinking and I've removed the bulbs to check them the bulbs are always good and not burnt out. It's like I have some kind of gremlin running around screwing with them! Sorry for the long rant! So my question, based on what you're saying in the video about the LED bulbs I should be able to correct this issue by changing a setting? If so that would be awesome as I don't really want to piss away a ton of money on OEM lights that I don't even like the look of. Thanks again for the help!
Oh yeah I had one more question, since the factory head unit is basically 25 years old is this new head unit going to improve the music sound quality?
What problem did you have with the brakes ? My e38 brakes but the pedal is very stiff and after some time a light comes on on the center console
Mine was bad rotors, I got them resurfaced but they did bad job.
Класс как моя 1 в 1
Cool upgrade, nice job
Thanks
nice work that was a huge job , i enjoyed watching all the parts. it came out really nice congrats.
Thanks!
I love the 740il I have 1 too and the x5 and the e46 the e39 all the great off bmw 👌
Best weels 4,6
Agree
I bought one of these a few years ago and had an installer install it. I had the same OEM navigation and dsp like you. But now I hear a whine - perhaps from the alternator when I turn up the dsp volume. Any recommendations on how to properly ground it? Radio reception is also really bad.
Sounds like its coming through the speakers? Believe thats a grounding issue.
@@user-ue2gi6yq8b Yeah, whine is through the speakers. What would you ground?
The scanner that you have linked to under your description, says that the software supports only windows XP, but in your video you say we must have windows 10 or 7 to use the software. Which one is correct.
Not sure but I have windows 10 in my computer and works perfectly fine
@@bmw_fanatic thanks for reply, would you write the part number for me. There are two kinds of at Amazon one is with cd that operates with XP and one with USB memory stick that operates with windows xp, 7, and 10 this one sells for $68.
Welcome back ! waiting for more 4.8is content!
I’ll probably get some of that too!
I have the same car. I would love for you to help me with it.
Where do you located?
@@bmw_fanatic Miami, Florida
Very nice! Gonna do the same to mine. Finally found a 4.4 x5 on the yard for free lol with frond end damage. And it had the boards 👌🏻
Nice!
Great video. Where can I buy those running boards, because the ones shows on ebay says for X5 2007 to 2013, mine is 2003. Thank you!!
thanks! you just have to search for them, i found them in the junk yard, they are pretty rare.
Are you in Washington by chance?
Yea in Washington
Whats the name of the head unit
Avant 4 head unit e38, just Google it
Hi mate I have problem with 4.8is ticking engine only on cold like diesel car. Disappears straight after driving and doesnt come back during the day. Any idea what this can be?
To be honest mine does it too, exact same problem and no clue why
Thanks for a video. I just wish on valve seals you would've recorded every second of your work (I know it's hard), but with a phone stand it would be possible.
Thanks for the feedback, yea sometimes it’s difficult to film everything and plus work on it
love the wheels where did you buy them and how big are they?
It came on the car so no clue from where and I think they are 18s
@@bmw_fanatic ok thanks
I love working on my early 2000's luxury car that has been molested by the previous owner!
Ohhh I know the feeling lol
At the end you have to route a new cable through the whole car because of 4 cables (the red, black, yellow, brown cables which attach to the radio). I really wonder if there is no other way to do it. It's a lot of work for 4 cables...
I don’t know if there is any another way but this way it’s one way
Forget what I said. I made a huge logical mistake... The four cables are coming from the wiring harness, feed the Android unit and then go back to the radio and feed the radio. Those 4 might be spliced out in the front of the car somehow, but I completely ignored the laudspeaker/ amplifier cables. They have to run from the Android unit to the back of the car, to the original connector. I was completely wrong. Sorry.
and is it possible to change the mileage to the real one?
No you can’t!
N62 is it a 4.8?
4.4 N62
How much did you pay for the vehicle
4K
Man, the state of those valves!!!
Haha, yeah they were so bad!
I feel your pain, that was a lot of work, just to find out that it was totally dead! Looking forward to the next vid!
Thanks 😊
Great video. 4.8is is an automotive epic. Very detail on a rare car and rare sliding trunk.
😥 'promosm'
What tool kit did you use to adjust the timing?
To be honest I don’t know, my friend give me this tool kit, but it’s in a blue case if that helps
Did you put a yellow buld in the high beams
Yea I did
Great work, thanks for the tour
Hiya, No idea if you've done it or gonna do it .................. You can Code or get the Susp Inactive Coded out, i got bmw software with coding etc but never had to code anything myself, use hardware too which i always have in the X5 just in case lol Note, i was advised when coding to have a steady power input keeping the battery from fluctuating and not to rely on a battery charger (can't rem the name of the hardware sorry) Great Vids Have Fun
Thanks for the advice but yea I coded out, it was pretty simple.
Live in the UK so mine's a RHD Great vid I have a black 4.8is, just passed it's mot after standing on dirt/grass front area for 8mths, she needed a new battery and tyre but i'm back in my beast hehe Added This (it's a 2004 facelift version) 200 mile round trip tomorrow to pick up a dashboard so i can fix my busted fan system (i ripped foam off above centre vents to get a good hit to kick the dead fan into life for a while last summer in the 39c heat we had lol) Can't wait for fan/aircon working normally as it's damp autumn here now so plenty of glass mist Have Fun
Haha sounds like you are having fun with that car and best of luck.
Hey man enjoying the restoration, was wondering if you could test something on your car for me? In park can u quickly tap the gas pedal. When I do this very quickly my car wants to rev but stumbles. And if I ever so slightly hold the gas pedal it will rev up and rev down until it stalls. Was wondering if this is normal on v8s. If I do this on m54 it’s will rev normal
That shouldn’t happen because my car doesn’t do that when I tap the gas pedal quickly. You car might have some issue.
@@bmw_fanatic what do you think I should check first? I changed the intake manifold gasket and cleaned all the sludge in the intake. Maf?
@@gowasiem I would definitely check the maf because that could cause that issue
Hey there, great vids. Definitely looking forward to see more of work on the e38s :) keep up!
Thanks 😊
