Hi there, I own a auto 335 N54, while removing the flexplate I held the front crank bolt yet my flexplate still spun, people suspected I could of possibly unintentionally made my hub spin, well I didn’t, though they said to check it’s still atleast torqued, what’s your take?
Excellent as ever Timm.. Just a quick question.. iDrive head unit repair/replacement.. mine is a CCC & is fine, but it is old tech, and I don’t have Bluetooth or an Aux input, which is a bit frustrating. What are your thoughts on these replacement 8.8 Android 10.0 Operating Systems, XTRON? Reviews from those who have fitted them seems mixed..
Thanks! Sorry, but I tend to keep my cars standard as far as ICE is concerned - but there has been some discussion regarding this on Bimmerforums.co.uk recently, have a search through recent posts.
Hi Tim, thanks for your video's. I watched a bunch of them! Quick question. Oil on my 2005 E63 630i has been changed recently. Service menu states 6000km for the next one. That is 3700 miles. Does that seems to be alright?
Hi Timm, I'm in NZ, otherwise I would bring my E63 450Ci in for you to you to look at. My engine has a problem of the rpm's surging. It idles much too fast, around 1200 rpm. Sometimes when it is not quite up to full temperature, the idle will drop back to 500rpm. Any ideas ?
I have heard of this a few times now - and one fix is to delete the engine adaptations using INPA - I have not done this myself but have heard of it done with good results
Thanks Timm for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated. I shall check out your suggestion. BTW your videos are awesome.@@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation
I had done my car service but when i start the car or drive a lil oil change service light shiws up i dnt know what's the problem or i just need to reset plz somebody answer ( its bmw 1r reihe 118i petrol 2010 model)
Hi Timm, Thanks for that. Last week my brakes suddenly over a just few miles seemed to lose a lot of their servo assistance. I can still brake safely, the fluid level is fine, the pads aren't worn out, but I don't half have to press the pedal hard to stop quickly. Any ideas anyone what might be wrong? (2006 E63 650i 103K miles. Thanks 🙂
I have a 2015 X1 and I followed the information and it actually worked. Thanks a bunch it was becoming annoying.
Great stuff!
Very well explained Tim, I now understand. Other channels I watched just didn't explain this well which gave me a headache. .all now is well

Question is there anyway to drop the service point on oil from 19000 to say 9000 or yearly ?
Not as far as I know, but I'll investigate and report back

Oil should be changed at least once a year - or - 10,000 miles whichever comes sooner

Hello Martin, the brake assistance is vacuum powered, so check the line that runs from the vacuum pump to the brake servo, these do split.
@@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation Thanks Timm, I really appreciate that you replied to me. I will check that pipe out for splits and take it from there.
👍
Thank you!
Wow 19,000 miles between oil changes. BMW must expect people to add oil? mine would be empty by then
I know, ridiculous!
Slt je suis ngor BMW espacial de BMW au Sénégal je veut un kolebarateur
Désolé, cette chaîne est entièrement mon travail !
i change my oil every 3500 miles every few months for me guess that's ott
It won't do any harm that's for sure, and I bet the inside of the engine is pristine!
