years of watching Scotty's videos, i have learned: he loves German engineering, enjoys working on money pits, and insults his 94 celica for not having enough plastic.
You shouldn’t have to remove a damn cowl to remove ignition coils. The only reason they do this is so that it annoys people to the point of taking it to the dealer, because Europeans don’t like it when their customers work on their own car.
MoeGameZzz Damn, not only do you try to defend these dumb designs for whatever reasons unknown, but you’d also fire a guy with 50+ years of experience, knows way more about cars than you’ll ever know, and got the job done right anyway?

I've lived here since 2012 and I always hope to run into him somewhere. I'm gonna start visiting part stores on the regular and look for a Toyota or Honda in the parking lot. I don't know what I'd say if I met him. It's like meeting a celebrity.
This is the third time I've seen scotty work on BMW coils. It's also the third time I've seen Scotty not remove the cabin air filter assembly. They have only 6 bolts and the rest are clips. Honestly, replacing spark plugs on a BMW I6 engine is one of the easiest spark plug jobs I've ever done. Removing the cabin air filter assembly takes all of five minutes and gives you access to the entire top engine. You may need the spark plug socket as a standard slim deep 14mm socket does not work in some of the engines. For instance, on a 2007 Infinity G35 engine, you have to remove the intake plenum and all connected prerequsites.
Yeap, because they are "endless money pits" and the mechanics love that...you will visit the mechanics more than your doctor because the endless money pit is sitting at your garage.
Ive been a mechanic for 15 years and i love working on BMWs they are so easy to work on ..i tell you what we hate we hate Chrysler and Lincoln and jeep cars thats what we hate to work on
They‘re good design, just too complicated for Americans to service and repair. The manuals require a mechanic to be able to read on an 8th grade level, which most Americans simply can‘t do.
@Joe Joseph Bmw new 4 cylinder engines are the ones with problems the 6 cylinder ones are better. Of course a 90hp toyota that has the same amount of work room than a 240 volvo in the bay and doesn´t even have electric windows is simplier to repair but then you can just compare it to the bmw m10 engine thats just way better than anyother, it is sad that these days the engines are made the way that you have to take them to us mechanics just to get them fixed eventho the fix should be easy but they just make em hard. These days the mechanics are also useless if you cant plug the car into a computer too...
@@meTimetraveler no it literally is called "Abdeckung Akustik"(Cover Akustic) when you look into the part list from Bmw. Also i am german and drive a Bmw and if u take it of there is a dampening foam on the back. :)
My wife's Toyota Voltz has 170,000km (105,000 miles on it) and it's now 17 years old - still going fine on the orignial coil packs - my 2009 Ford with 180,000km on the clock still running fine on the original coil packs, my sister in laws 2001 IS2000 with >200,000km on the clock, replaced one coilpack 3 years ago, the rest are still going fine - so this is not impressive at all unless I guess you are used to whatever junk BMW use.
Matthew Sharpe relize that most people abuse the hell out of BMWS. I bet you y’all probably drive cautiously and don’t push the engine. I redline mine at least once a day :) and I’m still on my original coils from 17 years ago.
@@austinrandall3685 Nah mate, the Falcon has 400rwhp and 550 lbf.ft, and I've been driving it hard that way for over 6 years now. The wife's Toyota gets driven like any family 1800cc wagon with kids to ferry around, and she has no mechanical sympathy at all believe me, I see her floor it out of the driveway every morning. I do keep on top of service with both of them which makes a big difference - but just looking at the garbage under the hood in this video... all that plastic and unwrapped wiring - neither of my cars looks like that in the engine bay - you can see BMW had no concern about longevity when they designed this.
Years back my bmw e46 had the same issue. The dealer told me I had to replace all 6 coils. After that experience I learned car mechanics. Then i realised they'd ripped me off. I now do my own maintenance and the main dealer does not get my money any more. It's through videos like yours scotty that educated me! And also wheeler dealers program in the uk.
I don't understand why dealers rip ppl off, they're just more likely to lose customers and reputation that way. But I guess if ppl did their own maintenance there wouldn't need to be any need for mechanics. Still, I think people are pressured to learn how to do things themselves when they are suggested outrageous prices for things that don't need replacing.
Fact #1, that “stupid” engine cover you’re talking about that takes minutes to remove helps to keep dirt off of the injector lines and ignition harness. Fact #2, I did this job last year on my three series, The coils are not that difficult to get out of the head. And the plastic is quite durable as long as you are not haphazardly prying at it with a big f&
I back up what you say 100%. I've owned BMWs for 15 years and love working on them. Some things are much easier to fix than other cars. And within the last 2 years I bought a 2017 Camry and now a 2019 rav4 and they both put a lot of plastics on the car especially since engines are so loud nowadays. Also had to jump start a neighbors brand new Honda CRV and had to take off a bunch of plastics and air intake system to get to the battery and no was no other place where to put the cables.
I found this out one time after swearing at my BMW for hours haha. Did some work to the AC intake and took off that part and then the back of the engine access was great!
Yep, I changed the plugs on my N54 and figured that part out. Did buy that special socket though. The only broken plastic after 105K are the stupid tabs on the cabin filter cover shown all the way in the back.
Christopher Williams after several BMWs, i thought so too. It’s really just a step by step process. Aside from something like an E39 Jesus bolt, not sure what the drama is if you have the tools and a good parts supplier.
I completely agree with you on servicing BMW. I have 2 E36 coupes (1 95 M w/S52 modded) and a 03 M3 (manual and modded). I've got other projects and cars too. I've also had my hands in production and modding semis for major carriers and auto-haulers. I've got more than 25k semis under me (DOT and R&D included). But back to topic the only BMWs I've come across that I'm not a fan of how they done part placement is the 750LIX oil cooler line ( routed between the front rail and subframe). Also the placement of turbos on the 335. But it is what it is.. If you can't service it send it to someone who can legitimately service it.
Couldn't agree more, all plug and play. Heavy duty mechanic for quiet a few years now & used to be a auto tech. Not nearly as bad as ford or Mazda having to lift an engine to change a alternator lol.
You must be a super human Scotty, you having accumulated such a vast knowledge of vehicle function and most all of its components. I see you as a champion of the exposure of quite ridiculous mechanical and engineering flaws and failures. Great respect.
@@whitegoodman7465 if you are talking purely performance, this new supra has proven to hold up very nicely, even though not all the tuner companies fully figured out what the best tune is.
Yeah, and Hyundai Veloster just beat it (Supra) in Motor Trends' sport car of the year competition for a FRACTION of the price (lmao)... they said "Vague steering, no connection to the driver"...you're right, sounds like BMW built it.
@@newmanfertig886 the supras b58, and all other of bmws modern engines are the most tunable motors in the world. We can flash our cars with our phones, and go from stock 300hp to 750hp without even rebuilding an engine.
@@calebtv4289 Bro, the BMW marketing department isn't selling these things to dedicated racing teams -- they're selling them to bougie idiots who like to set their hard-earned money on fire! 💰 🔥
MilkTrafficker You can't compare a Corolla to a BMW! If you want to make comparisons... Compare Lexus to BMW! Both high priced ! However.. Lexus quality and reliability has BMW beat ... Hands down!
Love Scotty but he just doesn’t know his way around this BMW. If you know where to go they’re not hard to deal with at all. Changed all six plugs in my 135 this morning in about 20 minutes. Didn’t have to take out the air box lol
@Yujiro hanma Well I don't know about him, but I'd actually do it myself and pay no one to do what I can do. If my car starts running funny and throws me a check engine light, I'd use my own scan tool and do exactly what he did. A cheap scan tool should be able to read the misfire code. You don't need some crazy expensive dealer level one for this. And BMWs are not actually that hard to work on. You have to waste time getting all the plastic crap off, and you may need a few special tools. But that doesn't make it hard. Just a bit more time consuming and expensive. Honestly, Scotty blows BMW's flaws out of proportion because he doesn't like them.
Yujiro hanma no lie, i paid thousands for some repairs🤦🏻♂️ i bought some tools and now i do it my self. It’s not always fun ti work on it, but when i think of what they would have charged me, and it puts a smile on my face lol
@@FGuilt they don't need bolts for that type of coil. Theres an arm on the top that flips up and releases the tension holding it in. Some of them use bremi coils and they have a Bolt. That's the Bosch version and they do get stuck a little but it's not that bad. Coils with bolts get stuck after 12 years too.
Not everyone has the time and patience to repair your own car. So best bet for non car guys and girls is to buy a cheap reliable toyota. But no these peeps still want BMW so they end up spending $$$$
@@lexburen5932 Real car ppl yea right.🤣 Bimmers are nice have performance and class but one thing Bimmer Fanboys will never understand is that it has Dogshit reliability and that's what triggers em.
Real BMWs have two wheels, not four. BMW has been building motorcycles since 1923 until WWII and the cars came along in 1928. Motorcycle production resumed in 1948 and cars in 1952. The Ultimate driving machine is an S1000 superbike. If you gotta have a six, buy a K1600.
Only when the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, when the seas go dry and mointains blow in the wind like leaves will Scotty Kilmer finally praise a BMW made car.
Kriz Azul they are not bad. The bad reputation comes from people who have not even touched one before or know anything about them. They just join the bandwagon with all the other people who say they are terrible when in reality they are exceptional cars. They require extra attention but if you cant afford to fix it you shouldnt be buying one anyways. It is great money working on them. Just fixed 3 of them this past weekend.
pomonabill220 actually false I have that same N52 and have done the plugs and besides that the whole point of a firewall is to separate the engine bay from the cab 😂
2 friends of mine, one bought a brand new 7 series in 2020, complete engine failure at not even 6 months of ownership and the man is like obsessed with the car's maintainence and always changed oil, filters, never stepped on it hard or smth like that. The other friend, brand new 5 series, complete engine failure at 68 000 miles, timing chain broke and destroyed the engine, also well maintained car.
@@babattaja Depends on who owns the BMW. A lose/lose situation would be someone with a $20,000/year income yet owns the Beamer. If you got the money and want one, well hey....
You missed the point. Watch the video another 700 times and maybe then you will get it and while you do rewatch and actually LISTEN remember that BMW cost almost twice as much, parts are much more expensive and they depreciate faster 🙄
Thomas Estwick BMW costs twice as much because you get twice as much. Sure, it’s probably not as reliable long-term, but it’s sure as hell twice as safe and twice as nice. The reason it depreciates is because of the quality of the parts. The older the car, the more likely it is to break down. This is also a reason you should lease luxury cars like these instead of purchasing one.
@@thomas0086 watched, listened to scotty whine cuz, as a mechanic, he has to loosen screws? Whaaa! BMW does not design things to be ez to repair, they design it to be better...like why does bmw put the thermostat at the bottom where its hard to get to? Cause it solves a problem and performs better, by the way isn't that bmw in the video designed by an American?
@@IamGantz bmw puts the windshield washer reservoir next to the turbos so it cracks. They also use shitty plastic radiators that crack, also shitty plastic fuel and water pumps that piss fluid everywhere. I could write a whole essay on why they suck. Owned a 2007 335i
Toyota basically has plastic crap for their ignition coil as well and the harness plug also fell apart on a 2az engine I worked on recently that had a dead no 3 coil.
I cringed so bad when I saw him slide the cover over with the back Bolt still attached. I was like why is he taking the airbox out? Ohhhhhhhhh, that's why. No wonder he's crying about access to 6.
Yes, Scotty made this video very complicated. It's very easy to work on these BMWs after you remove the cabin filters and housing off. He wasted so much time and effort with extensions and swivel sockets trying to get the #6 spark plug.
Do the plastic crap shirt, but for the logo just do the BMW logo, no BMW name on it, just a checkered circle, and the colors put in the opposite places.
All new cars are full of plastic crap. Only difference is BMW went to plastic crap a while before most other manufacturers so you see it more in the second hand vehicle mechanic field.
I love bmw. I got my first one when I was 16 now 43 I've owned 6 of them in 27 years. Yeah I've had some problems with some but the driving experience you get from them you cant get from other cars. I think I'm going to own one until the day I die.
Love the videos scotty, but I love to drive and work on BMWs. Newer ones are getting complicated, but this job really isn't that bad and takes under 30 min. Remove the tray that holds the cabin air filter and power wires to access coil #5 and 6. Much easier and takes only 5 min more prep.
Joel Spivak this generation is over 10 years old there’s ton of aftermarket. You can get Bosch coils for that price. And yea obviously not including labor. This is not a car for someone who doesn’t know how to turn a wrench. I have a 328i of this gen
Complaining about the plastic, meanwhile every other car manufacturer has plastic valve covers, plastic air intake manifolds, plastic engine covers, plastic coil packs, plastic water pumps, the list goes on. Coils go bad typically on all cars if its 12 years old and a crap ton of miles.
And how do you know this engine is cold? This video has alot of jump-cuts and you probably don't know wtf that means so google it and quite assume you negative Nancy 😝
I own an E90 - its the first car I've ever worked on myself. Generally most things are easy to remove and fix on this car. If Scotty had done a quick google then he would have known he could have removed the cabin filter assembly above the 6th cylinder, its a 5 min job. This gives you all the space you need and then some. Sometimes I think he loves to have a bit of a whinge lol.
Bmw inline six motors are bulletproof! Its usually small components around the motor that fail for example DISA valve, Vanos seals, valve cover gasket, etc. The parts are not expensive at all but where people go wrong is they taken it to the dealer for service and repairs. Do the work yourself!
i love how this American mechanic is trying to use pry bar on a German ultimate driving machines 😂 all German mechanics are saying WTF? what is this Yank doing?
Put motor in a hard access place... it was designed by idiots! I'll never ever buy BMW! And this is not "mistake" or "engineering limitation" - it's total stupidity.
I love it when anyone talks bad about bmws, makes it easier to buy them when people think they are too much of a money pit to own. I’ve owned my e46 for 145k miles, I do all the maintenance and work on it myself. Only things replaced in 20 years are break pads/rotors, all fluids for it as stated in the manual, one coolant expansion tank as preventative, a bad o2 sensor, oh and a couple turn signal bulbs. Every day I drive it like rental. Much more fun to drive over any other brand I’ve owned and I’ve driven them all.
you are a very strange character but i love you man...you tell the truth with no nonsense advice and troubleshooting. I love your explanations and frustrations and yes, BMW's are crap. I spent so many thousands on my 2001 325i E46 and countless hours of turmoil. Never again...i wish i would have watched your videos a long time ago and avoided all this. Thank you...i am subscribed now. And a big YES to those viewers lauding the beauty and cleanliness of the BMW Scotty was working on...of course it looks great and spotless just like mine does...why is that? Because it has sat in my garage for several years of its life with all the mechanical issues it has developed.
if you run cheap stuff from rock auto or autozone they're going to foul quickly. there are sensors in the actual bmw part that work with the DME. Same with the HPFP and countless other smart parts.
I love my BMW. I'm sure there are others with BMWs watching. I'm pretty sure there is no need to talk crap about these cars. They are well built and I'm sure those plastics are protecting the coils from dust and dirt. I'm not even a mechanic and I changed my 6 coils plus spark plugs with no crazy extensions, just basic tools. Only if you removed that cabin air filter plastic, which was a matter of unscrewing 4 bolts...

This is the third time I've seen scotty work on BMW coils. It's also the third time I've seen Scotty not remove the cabin air filter assembly. They have only 6 bolts and the rest are clips. Honestly, replacing spark plugs on a BMW I6 engine is one of the easiest spark plug jobs I've ever done. Removing the cabin air filter assembly takes all of five minutes and gives you access to the entire top engine. You may need the spark plug socket as a standard slim deep 14mm socket does not work in some of the engines. For instance, on a 2007 Infinity G35 engine, you have to remove the intake plenum and all connected prerequsites.
Thats a lie mechanics LOVE BMW's!
There's always something to fix.
Yeah, but fixing them can be a hassle.
You don't get it.
Mechanics love to overcharge on easy fixes.
With BMW its usually a difficult job. Taking up more time.

@Joe Joseph Bmw new 4 cylinder engines are the ones with problems the 6 cylinder ones are better. Of course a 90hp toyota that has the same amount of work room than a 240 volvo in the bay and doesn´t even have electric windows is simplier to repair but then you can just compare it to the bmw m10 engine thats just way better than anyother, it is sad that these days the engines are made the way that you have to take them to us mechanics just to get them fixed eventho the fix should be easy but they just make em hard. These days the mechanics are also useless if you cant plug the car into a computer too...

12 year old coils? And only one misfire? Pretty impressive if ya ask me lol
My wife's Toyota Voltz has 170,000km (105,000 miles on it) and it's now 17 years old - still going fine on the orignial coil packs - my 2009 Ford with 180,000km on the clock still running fine on the original coil packs, my sister in laws 2001 IS2000 with >200,000km on the clock, replaced one coilpack 3 years ago, the rest are still going fine - so this is not impressive at all unless I guess you are used to whatever junk BMW use.
Matthew Sharpe relize that most people abuse the hell out of BMWS. I bet you y’all probably drive cautiously and don’t push the engine. I redline mine at least once a day :) and I’m still on my original coils from 17 years ago.

Years back my bmw e46 had the same issue. The dealer told me I had to replace all 6 coils. After that experience I learned car mechanics. Then i realised they'd ripped me off. I now do my own maintenance and the main dealer does not get my money any more.
It's through videos like yours scotty that educated me! And also wheeler dealers program in the uk.
I have experience the same, what I save on mechanic shops I invested in tools and knowledge
I don't understand why dealers rip ppl off, they're just more likely to lose customers and reputation that way. But I guess if ppl did their own maintenance there wouldn't need to be any need for mechanics. Still, I think people are pressured to learn how to do things themselves when they are suggested outrageous prices for things that don't need replacing.
Fact #1, that “stupid” engine cover you’re talking about that takes minutes to remove helps to keep dirt off of the injector lines and ignition harness.
Fact #2, I did this job last year on my three series, The coils are not that difficult to get out of the head. And the plastic is quite durable as long as you are not haphazardly prying at it with a big f&
I back up what you say 100%. I've owned BMWs for 15 years and love working on them. Some things are much easier to fix than other cars. And within the last 2 years I bought a 2017 Camry and now a 2019 rav4 and they both put a lot of plastics on the car especially since engines are so loud nowadays. Also had to jump start a neighbors brand new Honda CRV and had to take off a bunch of plastics and air intake system to get to the battery and no was no other place where to put the cables.

I found this out one time after swearing at my BMW for hours haha. Did some work to the AC intake and took off that part and then the back of the engine access was great!
Yep, I changed the plugs on my N54 and figured that part out. Did buy that special socket though. The only broken plastic after 105K are the stupid tabs on the cabin filter cover shown all the way in the back.

They’re easy to work on when you know how.
Guess Scotty just doesn’t know how.
Christopher Williams after several BMWs, i thought so too. It’s really just a step by step process. Aside from something like an E39 Jesus bolt, not sure what the drama is if you have the tools and a good parts supplier.
My BMW 760i is not that hard to work on. Removing the Intake Manifold wasn't that hard. I replaced one of the High Pressure Fuel Pumps too.
They're a significant amount of your income ;)
(only joking.)
I completely agree with you on servicing BMW. I have 2 E36 coupes (1 95 M w/S52 modded) and a 03 M3 (manual and modded). I've got other projects and cars too. I've also had my hands in production and modding semis for major carriers and auto-haulers. I've got more than 25k semis under me (DOT and R&D included). But back to topic the only BMWs I've come across that I'm not a fan of how they done part placement is the 750LIX oil cooler line ( routed between the front rail and subframe). Also the placement of turbos on the 335. But it is what it is.. If you can't service it send it to someone who can legitimately service it.
Couldn't agree more, all plug and play. Heavy duty mechanic for quiet a few years now & used to be a auto tech. Not nearly as bad as ford or Mazda having to lift an engine to change a alternator lol.
You must be a super human Scotty, you having accumulated such a vast knowledge of vehicle function and most all of its components. I see you as a champion of the exposure of quite ridiculous mechanical and engineering flaws and failures.

He’s just trying the fast and easy, the one time I did my ccv system took two hours with a few adult beverages the l6 is easy to work on
Put motor in a hard access place... it was designed by idiots! I'll never ever buy BMW! And this is not "mistake" or "engineering limitation" - it's total stupidity.
The “and away it goes” part of BMW ownership makes it all worth it.
@Joe Joseph well I AM having quite a bit of fun actually ;)
@Joe Joseph bruh, I'm driving a 20 year old e39 525d facelift.It's a blast and a care-free car.
@quadruple treble 1888 roughly every vehicle becomes a money pit especially with age.
@quadruple treble 1888 Best moneypit I ever bought. Beautiful machine and driving it puts a smile on my face.
I love it when anyone talks bad about bmws, makes it easier to buy them when people think they are too much of a money pit to own. I’ve owned my e46 for 145k miles, I do all the maintenance and work on it myself. Only things replaced in 20 years are break pads/rotors, all fluids for it as stated in the manual, one coolant expansion tank as preventative, a bad o2 sensor, oh and a couple turn signal bulbs. Every day I drive it like rental. Much more fun to drive over any other brand I’ve owned and I’ve driven them all.
Let me guess, plastic parts and over engineered and trouble prone features that you can do with out.
Plastic covers is not just a BMW thing it's a every car for the last 20+ yrs thing and you know it. Your killing me Kilmer
Not my Honda jazz
Not every car. My 2015 swift doesn't
@@davidlp3019 I didn't know those were considered cars.
@@mowedi Did you lose those parts
Lol mordern cars may have plastics but bmw plastic costs more
you are a very strange character but i love you man...you tell the truth with no nonsense advice and troubleshooting. I love your explanations and frustrations and yes, BMW's are crap. I spent so many thousands on my 2001 325i E46 and countless hours of turmoil. Never again...i wish i would have watched your videos a long time ago and avoided all this. Thank you...i am subscribed now. And a big YES to those viewers lauding the beauty and cleanliness of the BMW Scotty was working on...of course it looks great and spotless just like mine does...why is that? Because it has sat in my garage for several years of its life with all the mechanical issues it has developed.
"no working room..."
"did I mention, no working room..."
"still no working room..."
I wonder what he'd say about a Porsche...
There is more than plastic to remove.
Dan Gleason , he's used to american cars wit 6-foot engine hoods 😂
@@wosawatratsameeveeranitcha444 Thx, I'll take a look.
6:47 Rev up your customer's engine!!
L M F A O !... redline from cold :)
My bet is the coil, my Audi eats them like the Cookie Monster eats cookies.
They are so tiny compared to the old single ones who used a distributor..
Is that a known problem with your car or something else wrong?
Luckily my wife's Q7 coils are only $20 bucks compared to my Sierra's $89.00 each.
Your plugs can damage your coils.
Also if your car is tune you have to gap your plugs were you will eat coils all day
if you run cheap stuff from rock auto or autozone they're going to foul quickly. there are sensors in the actual bmw part that work with the DME. Same with the HPFP and countless other smart parts.
I like both Toyota’s and BMW’s but then again I don’t have to repair them.
I love my BMW. I'm sure there are others with BMWs watching.
I'm pretty sure there is no need to talk crap about these cars. They are well built and I'm sure those plastics are protecting the coils from dust and dirt.
I'm not even a mechanic and I changed my 6 coils plus spark plugs with no crazy extensions, just basic tools. Only if you removed that cabin air filter plastic, which was a matter of unscrewing 4 bolts...
Exactly my friend
Scotty loves complaining about anything that isn't an ancient Toyota
Ever since I bought a bmw I never regretted. I wonder why people buy other types
@@mxbasho The only thing that comes close are EV's but even than they miss the awe factor
Bogdan Arsene yeah but a Honda or Toyota won’t have those issues at all most likely based on age
