    Check the idle control valve (located right above the throttle body,) sometimes it gets gummed up and stuck open, and a little shot of brake cleaner in it should free it up, a quick test would be rotate the unit back and forth and side to side you should hear a little throttle door flapping away.

    I drove an E34 BMW V8 for years and did a lot of DiY work on it. The engine is extremely sensitive to vacuum leaks, and a total intake manifold gasket replacement job is pretty much a given at 150K. The PCV plate at the back of the manifold is usually done by then as well.

Try this: get some saw dust ( check it doesn't have wood splinters), start soaping your hands and add some saw dust. Most of the oil and grease will come out ( use some soft bristles brush for the fingers and under the nails). You'll be happy with the results. Happy belated Birthday. Have yourself a great day.

    I broke the resonator chamber/elbow on my 96 Jag XJ6L. I tried to glue it back, I broke it again. I looked online and eBay sellers wanted $150. I went to my local Import Yard and picked up the MAF and intake duct for $75. In the meantime a used electrical tape and super glue to seal the whole in the intake. It worked! I drove it that way for about a week before I fixed it. So Ray is right, it will work in the short term but it's worth fixing it the rightway especially if you got a salvage yard nearby.

    BMW guy here. Good luck getting that CEL to go out. I've owned three budget BMWs thus far. A rusty 5-speed 86 528e missing interior bits, a rusty 92 535i whose front fenders were held on by hopes and dreams, and now drive a clean but far from showroom 5-speed 97 528i that I rescued from an auto auction for cheap. Needed a $600 jailbroke PCM because it blew up the mosfet controller for cylinder 2 and I was not about to pay BMW $5000 to fix my $1300 car.
    Most maintenance on the older BMWs isn't difficult, just tedious. Removing bolts to remove pieces to remove bolts to get get the part you're actually there to fix. My recommendation for BMW ownership on a budget is only buy if you can do most of the maintenance yourself and don't buy anything newer than 2005. The e39 5-series (made until 2004) and the e46 3-series (made until 2005) are the last of the readily maintainable BMWs.
    When it comes to 7-series? Avoid like the plague unless it's an I6 motor or a V8, don't even bother with anything that has iDrive, and NEVER EVER buy a V12 7-series. Modern BMWs are purely for people who can lease them new with full coverage warranty and the 7s are the worst of the bunch.

    I did the electrical tape thing on an '86 Mustang SVO's intake corrugation. The 'inside'(?) part of the corrugation had a split for no real reason I could determine because otherwise the part was just fine and flexible. So I taped up that corrugation across the split, over the humps, and multiple layers.
    Ran it like that for... what... 3 years I guess. Never an issue, then the car was traded in later on. Never heard about it again, but I like to think in THAT case... it's permanent and good.

    I had to do this on my '98 540i too when I bought it. Seller couldn't figure it out and didn't have the cash to splash out at a shop. Also had to do the pcv diaphragm on the back of the intake which was a right miserable job as there is zero access back there and pulling the manifold is a miserable job too. Anyway, good work, fun vid.

    Happy Birthday Ray, or rather by now Happy Belated Birthday. Yes what fun working on BMW's I am sure aliens do work for BMW as some are just plain weird in their construction so good luck with your continued adventure into Alien Tech. And no your not crazy we heard the voice on your speaker as well.

    I did not know they made a V8 3.0 litre for these 530s.

    Happy birthday. Part 2 should be a very good video. Doing tape and woodscrew repairs on one's own German designed vehicle is the morally correct thing to do. I mean torx, did anyone ask for a fastener where they all look the same but use one size off and it's destroyed, someone held up a 5.5mm socket and someone said hold my beer.

    Many moons ago I had a similar issue on an Alfa. convoluted pipe downstream of the AFM was split, no spare available. I cleaned it thoroughly, inside & out, applied some silicone then over-wrapped it with self-amalgamating tape. Not ideal, no, but that bodge lasted for years and was still working just fine when I scrapped the car for parts.

    Make sure the cyclone valve in the back is ok. That and the butterfly on the backside of the intake will make a huge difference. If you need an IAC, good luck. Also the easiest way to smoke those is one of those EZ Intake bladders from Redline. So much less aggravation and 100 percent coverage from intake boot to brake booster to purge valve. It's totally worth the cost of entry

    On hidden bolts like the one you had, I use a little tape to taper the fastener to the tool I’m using for install. It holds the bolt then when you remove it…most of the tape comes with the tool. I work on elevators…at times I have many hidden fasteners. Live confidently and peacefully

    I’ve owned 5 of these cars, all straight 6 even the 3.5, but I had 3 problems i just bought a newer year as per my wallet, 1 was a fuel pipe at the rear of tank. Which leaked when I filled to the top, 2 was the left hand side has some car brain fault, this was due to a blocked the drain, easy fix. 3rd was the worst was the 3.5 as I just out run to a 2.9 ford Granada I had to turn off and straight away I heard a bad noise, I broke a rocker on a exhaust valve, me and my did the job was not to tricky. Happy Belated Birthday 🎉

    For difficult screws that are round, use an odd piece of hose that will fit over it and hold it to squiggle it into place, thread it in and pull the hose off.

    Hey Ray, easiest way to make any size plug is with dollar store balloons. Inflate to slightly larger then the hole and plug the sucker up. Its the only universal, multi fit plug on the market, and its cheap and always in stock!

    So weird to see the steering wheel on that side of that car. No experience of the V8, but I have lots of experience of the straight sixes in 2.0 small and large block, 2.5 and 2.8 form. That interior looks so familiar, but backwards.
    In my opinion, the E34 was the peak of the 5 series development and it’s been all downhill ever since.

    The PVC insulation tape is short term plug.
    A 'fix' would be a quality heatshrink tube, glue lined even. Quality, like Raychem stuff made for high voltage electrical terminations.

  • @jtjones4727

    Dorman usually makes hard to find replacement air intake tubes for a variety of car brands. I know people hear Dorman and think yuck, but they do make some decent non electronic components. The air intake tube and the timing belt covers on my late 90's Honda are both Dorman. The intake tube, the only thing I could find was a Dorman part, or a used one. And I could have gotten OEM timing belt covers from Honda, but all 3 covers was going to be around 450 dollars, and I got the Dorman set of 3 covers for around 75 bucks. Granted, the fitment on the lower timing belt cover wasn't exactly perfect and I had to do some minor modifications to it. But at least my freshly rebuilt engine looks good and I don't have an exposed timing belt like so many people do for some reason.

    Guys when you have the smoke machine connected and block the throttle body you have to give the crankcase a way to let the pressure out if not you can blow out the crankshaft seal and that would be bad, don't just pull the dipstick the reason for that its tube may go below the oil level so that if you don't put the dipstick in fully you don't create an Evap fault. Saying this from experience.

    Having a 740i with the same M60 engine, this hits close to home.
    Same stripped bolt, same hole in the intake tubing, add to this the engine suddenly cutting at 5000 rpm, the cooling issues and the same headliner panel falling off because the tabs broke.
    Oh and the bushings.
    And all kinds of oild leaking from everywhere.
    Just old BMW things

    The 2.4 Chrysler world engine has an issue like this too. I had one where the intake manifold didn't leak but there was a leak at the valve cover gasket. Whenever i sprayed starter fluid on one spot it would have a misfire. But 9/10 its the intake manifold gasket.

    i had the same problem with a hole in my intake hose just like that - bigger actually as i could put my 4 fingers through it. I duct taped it til my new intake hose arrived. Problem was fixed immediately for the short term with the duct tape. I was getting maf type issues. Once i pulled the intake house i realized why. Not enough air getting across the maf
