Nice video Alberto, shout out to the owner as well for the really good filming job.
One of the best and most informative automotive how to videos i have seen to date. Very well done and very well explained.
You have to pull the injector connectors and crank the engine to prime the oil system. BMW put a tsb about this. You’re lucky you didn’t have any damage.
Make this man ur camera man lmao
Thank you so much for the great video. Makes me super confident I can do myself. I would never had thought or known about the radiator bleed. My N55 serpentine belt started to squeal and I can see oil in that "famous" area...Superb...Thanks again.
These things cook gaskets because of the stupid high oil temps they run at, on the N54/55 its so easy to install a BMS sport oil cooler valve, do it and save headaches. Wish it was that easy to do on my BMW V8s!!
On the other hand, I just watched a whole video on something I already know how to do because I like the way Alberto works lol Good video
Now your oil is cold for like 20 mins instead of 5 mins. Bad idea
Thanks for the video, it was really good. I am hobby mechanic, this was my first engine work ever and your video was one of the main source for information that I used. Personally I had a lot of problems getting the intake out of the way also the oil cooler line ended up leaking a little bit, apperantly the orings are supposed to be renewed each time they are disconnected.
Wow.. I've seen many DIYs on the BMW E90s and E46s, and I must say, you did a great job with narration, and attention to detail on the important steps. Great camera quality as well. I thank you very much, I must say that I have a 2011 E90 335i, which has a slightly different engine arrangement mostly from the airbox, from what i can see.
Thanks again my friend. I'm now subscribed. I'm glad to throw you donation to support your Vlogs, let me know.
Your 2011 E90 335i probably doesn't have the oil cooler attached to the side of the Oil Filter Housing like Alberto's car in the video... Mine is also slightly different, in that I don't need the first gasket that he replaced.
Great video dude. Mix these type of videos in with the E36 stuff.
nice video, very detailed and informative. my first car had no heat (i bypassed the heater core b/c it was clogged) and i live in NYC. the good ol' days.
Clean job 👍
BMW Recommand to prime the oil circuit after major job on it. N55 can quickly have rod bearing issue if the oil pressure is low.
Pull out the fuel pump fuse, remove the residual fuel pressure in the rail so it doesn't start.
Crank it 3x10s, let the starter cool in between.
Great video Alberto
Great video Alberto! Keep it up
So glad you uploaded this. I need to do this to my n54 bad lol
Alberto is like the Morgan Freeman of car repair, I've done this Job 270 times but watched this video #1 Alberto is a legend, watching you work on cars is like watching any extraordinary master Mech
#1/2 the Voice of an Angel.
Alberto will you come to Phila and work on a couple N54'S with me 10k just to show and another 5 right before you head back to the Airport...hahahah your the Man bro ! Keep up the Masterpiece brother ✌
Great DIY!! I'm actually doing my oil filter gasket tomorrow 👌👌
This is a great comprehensive video! My oil filter housing wasn’t fixed well causing more spills, an engine smoke out and then a engine overheat all in a 15 months on my 335i with less than 50k miles. This cost 4K to fix because it was largely misdiagnosed. My mechanic didn’t even see the cross contamination with the coolant! I did and I’m a girl!! This video was a huge help in explaining the process to me. Thank you!
Also, love how you suggested to drain the coolant first!!!!!! And the precautions on the oil filter! You do clean work! None of the other demo videos explaining this fix take this measure which is great because when you have chronic leaks a clean job is paramount! Rock on man!
Excellent video. Thank you so much for doing this. I am tackling this over the upcoming weekend on my E92.
Awesome video. Dealer wanted $800 to do this but this video saved me a bunch of money.
Fantastic detail, now I can do my 11 535i. Thanks Alberto !!!!
True show of your mechanical knowledge and extremly informative video. Great job Alberto!
-Stay Blessed
Really good video alberto keep knocking them out
Learned a lot about my 2014 335i same as that... would like to see more vids on this car in the future!
Nice work Alberto
BIGGGGG
....wait for it
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Did Alberto work for a BMW dealership before or he just worked on a lot of bimmers at his old shop? He knows a helluva lot about them
justin powers his room mate is a big bimmer fan has 2 m3s guess he learned from him
Was Alberto a regular technician at one point or did he jump straight into high performance?
AWESOME JOB BIG BOOST but here in BOSTON its 6 degrees with snow everywhere ahaha FML cant wait for warmer weather for my e92 bunch of goodies goin in soon cant wait...keep up the N54 videos tho definatly lovin them
Great video guys
Hey Alberto, great video. I've been considering a 2006-8 Z-4 Coupe and it helps me better understand some of the issues I could encounter. Keep it up and best wishes for 2018
Great job Alberto
Big Boost Tutorial i love it ! 👍💪
Buen trabajo Alberto
Awesome diy man!
Random Lady: - Says something in spanish -
Bigboost: Whispers. What the hell was that....LOL
I did just this on my F30 335 2 months ago. Pretty easy, just tedious that was all. I made a grave mistake by letting the oil leaked so long. So I had to also replaced the serpentine belt and did major engine cleaning of oil.
Awesome, I may be a bit ocd but, when you took the first plate off that the oil hardlines go into all that I could think of was porting that oil passage on the bottom left.
Hey Alberto, super Video. Can u please make more Videos about the N55?
Well done great video
Thanks to your video I have my oil leak fixed
The master at work
Good content great job on this video
Big boost to the rescue!!!
So glad Alberto has this video up. I stopped watching adam LZ when he turned into a douche but I missed how thoroughly Alberto explains things. I think about half of us only watched Adam for Alberto's contributions and mechanical expertise. Now we can support him like he deserves. Instruct me through all my n54 problems big boost! 💪🏽
Still helps to this day bro preciate it🙏
good quality keep it up!
This was an awesome video
awesome video. thx
Thank you bro great video
Good video
More videos like this Alberto. 🙏
BIG BOOST 💪💪💪
Excellent good boy you are number one
Perfect 👌
You just saved a million bucks !
What a shame oil leak is very common issue for every BMW.. cost the owner thousands of dollars to fix it! great video👍👍👍
Super video ;)
A tip for bolts in tight spaces, use about 6 to 12 inch piece of vacuum hose attached to the head and feed it. I also use that with spark plugs as well so I dont crossthread.
Greattttt videoooo. Seriously
If I'm not mistaken there is a jack point dead center under the engine, at least there is on my 2009 335xi, makes it super easy to lift the whole front of the car, but I'm sure you knew that already Big Boost :)
I am pretty Sure BMW recommends you also replace the bolts as well but great video either way!
Good video, what was the mileage on the car?
You don’t actually need to remove the intake, just easy to get a universal joint. Worked a treat for me
Matt Hew Clan What do you mean? a univeral joint?
Yup and 1/4 inch long extension
Very good Video!! Did you remove all the oil leaking over the engine with brake cleaner?
Big boost
BIG BOOOOOOST
gotta do this to my n55 powered E70 X5. not looking forward to it, but looks simple enough.
big boost what up dude?
just uploaded probably one of the best DIY so far right now :)
DOO MORE DIY’S
Do you also have to change the oil ? Or just the coolest
Any need to prime the engine after doing this? About to do it in a couple days.
So i'm not draining my coolant before i do the replacement, I know i'll lose a little coolant from the hose, but when i put it back together --- am i in the clear to drive it 15-20 minutes to my auto shop to have oil and coolant change? Or do i have to fill it up with more coolant?
That BF1 one beenie!
hi is in US The torx different az im in Europe and to unscrew this middle bolt , near the oil thermostat, i need to use T27, i tried with T30 but does not fit,
is this workong with the waterpump on the 535i f10 n55 the same?
Is there any sort of temporary fix to this problem? Currently need some more time to get the money together for the fix, but is there anything I can do to slow the leak? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm not mechanically inclined but have been learning a lot with my car and do the work on my n55 335i myself. Haven't had a single issue yet but I know this problem needs addressed ASAP
How long would you say this takes? 2-3 hours?
@Alberto BIGBOOST Are you familiar with BMW coding using INPA/NEC?
Easy fix
Bigboostgang
Thank u so mutch i am going to refill my car and i dont know how is was done but thanks for this video iknow now :D one question,u bleed it twice are u just hitting the padal again for 10 sec and it start again the bleeding process and u have the air screw open intil in no more air coming out from it?
Great job Alberto. Do you kwow how much de dealer is taking for this job in America?
My buddy with his 2012 335i was told 950 at the dealer in tampa.
Could it be what's causing the leak on my dad n47?
you dont need torque wrench for the bolts?
Big boost is the concept similar to my N20?
pretty much yes
Alberto BIGBOOST thanks
Hey Alberto BIGBOOST, why did you leave AdamLZ's channel?
Hey Alberto how you doing man?
Damn those bmw love to tick. I remeber stressing out so bad when i first got my n54 and heard that loud ass ticking without the cover on
It’s the high pressure fuel injection. The plastic engine covers are supposed to suppress the sound.
I guess since M40 engines, BMW haven't learnt to make proper oil filter housing, that doesn't leak.
First. Notification Gangg!!!👌
More n54/n55 videos please!! I did this job myself on my e60 535xi. that uncomfortable back bolt is the hardest and the throttle body bolts!
Hey Alberto how much you think I should charge for this job?
depends how much you would charger an hour. normally id do this for 600-650
Alberto BIGBOOST ok thanks so how many shop hours for this?
Alberto please tell me u in New York area
when do you know when the water pump is finished bleeding the coolant?
That370zguy no more air comes out lol
about 12 minutes, or you don't hear the pump running anymore.
Everyone always complains about maintenance costs on BMW's...these gaskets cost less than $15 and don't take very long to do them yourself. Hell of a lot better than having BMW charge you $1500 for something that costs maybe $20 and 30 minutes of your time. They quoted me $1435 to replace the valve cover gasket...shit cost me less than $40 and I just did it myself
That thicking sound on cold start is really sounds like a diesel
Damn his 2014 N55 has a leaky oil filter gasket, maybe I should change the one on my 2005 N52 hahaha
i love your videos who are the two numptys that gave a thumbs down to this?
I guess its a coincidence, but my f10 N55 needs a filtter housing gasket change too
Anyone wanna create a tool list for this?
Where do you recommend getting brakes ?
Seth Davis i recommend getting them on ya car
stop tech rotor and pads, I did drilled and slotted
Did you get that clip that fell into the engine bay?
yup I needed it to hold the coolant hose in place
I lost mine when I had I did it too I called almost every BMW shop asking if they have a spare one luckily I got one saved me buying the entire hose from BMW.
