I really like your videos, with old BMWs, it takes my mind off the problems and inspires me to keep repairing my e34 despite the various problems. And teach me how to fix various breakdowns. Big greetings from Ukraine!
E60 in general has a lot of grip in the snow which makes it very good for going fast and still have good control over the car. I've gone 120kph+ in the mountains drifting with my beater E61.
Theres no missfires in diesel. Glowpugs just not equally good in every cylinder so 1 cylinder wasnt probably hot enough to light the fuel immediately but after other cylinders kept it running it started to fire aswell eventually.
You should consider that your E60 was kinda cheap. Cheap E60=expensive fixes. I own 2005 525d just like your and I had almost no troubles at all for almost 2 years. Only the bluetooth module died and voltage regulator (?). I am not sure how is it called in English but its mounted on the alternator. Easy fix and I paid something around 50€ for OEM valeo part. The biggest problem of the E60 is previous owners. This car does not like shortcuts, but actually it is not as bad as some people say. Especially the M57 engine is brilliant
Love the series, have you checked glowplug codes? seemd a bit hard to start (i know its cold but still) and often if there are 3+ "faulty" glow plugs then its often the module and not the actual plugs. Im replaceing mine over the holiday on my m57... -20c was to much with only two working glowplugs x)
the funny thing i had couple days ago, i had 5 error for plugs and as you explained i figured its probably module, i bought it for 60euros and guess what ? They 5 plugs still were not working! HAHA, it was literally 5 plugs dying over autumn basically all at once, so had to buy that as well.. Well, it's curse of owning a bmw.
Don't buy that part new, It's an EGR thermostat and if you're gonna delete it there is no use for it, so might as well save money. Also EGR delete kit would sort out many of these connections with the cooling system as you would be simlpy plugging them and removing EGR cooler which can cause problems with oil and antifreeze mixing, so might aswell invest in a EGR delete kit. If you need advice I can help.
@@ciuciuka812 yes it will throw the error code, but coding it out is simple and cheap. i recommend egr delete only when there is problems with it like the egr cooler or egr thermostat going bad, as usualy theyre pretty reliable. downside of deleting the egr is engine warming up lomger especially in winter, so that yelds higher fuel consumption as engine is cold longer
Geiler Drift……, ich liebe es auch zu driften und auch mal stecken zu bleiben und Vollgas geben. Würde gerne mal mitfahren mit Dir und Spaß haben im Schnee 🔥🔥🔥
how cold was it when you started the 5 series, because I live in the south of Germany, it often gets cold between -5 and -20 degrees in winter and I've never had such problems with the cold start and I'm just bmw diesel driven from 3 cylinder diesel to 6 cylinder diesel and never had such a hard cold start
@@antoniobmw I would have thought so too, but a good year ago he also made a video like this with his e91 318d and he also had a hard time with a cold start, so I thought it was extremely cold there
I had problems with rear lights and it was the footwell module, had to be reset. Worth a check before you buy new parts, i fixed my problem for free in 15 minutes with inpa.
@@FahreFilms I've had no reverse lights and a break light, all of them fixed by resetting short circuit errors in the footwell module. I have other issues with the car but are not related to this. Honestly I can't tell if your problem could be related to this, I'm relatively new to bmws so still learning the tricks. But definitely worth a try to check.
Have the exact same car, sadly recently I put Halogen bulbs in mine, big mistake, my e60 caught fire on the left headlight, waiting from insurance to see if they can fix it :((
@@FahreFilms With EGR thermostat like you have, the coolant is constantly going into radiator and cooling down. It will never get to working temp while driving. Egr thermostat is supposed to open at 75°C. Just buy a new mahle/behr and forget about problems. It will be OEM BMW thermosat with grinded out BMW part number. In Latvia it cost around 25e. P.s. Before you put your new thermostat into egr cooler, take out an old o-ring and put it on thermostat. New thermostat comes without o-ring, but in most cases you can use old one.
Nice content as always. Despite the fact I hate to be a partypooper pain in the @$$, I have two advices: Get another e36 compact for winterbeater, that was the "non plus ultra", the king of beaters, the E60 is just not that category, simply a cruiser, meant for mid 2000s business guys rushing from a meeting to another on the Autobahn doing 200 km/h And second: keep your glasses on please, we always see you wearing it, and when I saw you without them it was a bit strange. But my guess that "Greg" is you in helmet is getting stronger...so you forgot to put your glasses back on after taking off the helmet 🤣🤪
do yourself a favour. remove the EGR system all together, swirlflap delete kit and get a downpipe. from my experience it removes alot of heat and corrosion from the front of the engine aswell as improving flow trough the entire system!
Tbh I thought the e60 problems were exaggerated but looks like its really true. Dayum I thought about picking one up but this is soo unrelaiable Il just go with the e92

it is not about bmw cooling system, I have 3 bmw and I never had problems with that, is about you don’t know to take care of your car, look at your engine sounds
Hey, sorry you feel that way, but in my eyes it’s still the same, a few years back I drove around in cars that gave me joy, and I still do. Nothing wrong with trying different things. A e36 or e34 will offcourse be back on the channel. But it’s important to progress 🙏🏼 And most imortantly, enjoy the ride!
Finally some snow ! ☃️ Smash the Notification bell and like the video for more 🙌🏼

Greg should definitely mount a gopro on his head while tests are ongoing!
That cold start had some misfires for the first few seconds 😁
Theres no missfires in diesel. Glowpugs just not equally good in every cylinder so 1 cylinder wasnt probably hot enough to light the fuel immediately but after other cylinders kept it running it started to fire aswell eventually.
Greg knows what he’s doing
I’ve got a e60 and I’ve had no problems at all! At 155k miles
that is the EGR thermostat, you should not open it from the clip
Egr thermostat, you will not be able to get working temperature without internals in thermostat, you will get max around 77 degrees...
You sure? I heard this is something about the exhaust temp ? I got proper temp in the car after a short drive 👍🏼

Hey , what style of rims are those ? I have a e60 too and I try to find this type of rims model for some time
i follow you since you crashed your e46 in a ditch on snow !!!
İf you want to close the traction control (dtc,dsc) completly you hold the dsc button or dtc 10 seconds long
Have the exact same car, sadly recently I put Halogen bulbs in mine, big mistake, my e60 caught fire on the left headlight, waiting from insurance to see if they can fix it :((
Nooooo that sucks ! What kind of bulbs does it need? LED?
The thing you deleted is actually the EGR cooler, and by deleting it, you will never have hot air inside the car ( belive me, personal experience).
You sure? I think it will just make the car use a bit more time getting hot. It will still heat up coolant for warm inside the car
@Fahre Films if you stay still, yes you will have hot air, but if you start driving the coolant temp will drop down. I had the same issue.
@@Robert_XRX You are right, because now the big circle is open in cooling system. If u want to remove egr, better just block both hoses.
@@FahreFilms With EGR thermostat like you have, the coolant is constantly going into radiator and cooling down. It will never get to working temp while driving. Egr thermostat is supposed to open at 75°C. Just buy a new mahle/behr and forget about problems. It will be OEM BMW thermosat with grinded out BMW part number. In Latvia it cost around 25e.

I hop it helps
Yeah me too! Where you from?
I'm from finland
Not that far away
You shuld try a xdrive bmw :)
I think its not the battery ,its the glow plug system (relay or glow plugs ) mine had a bad relay so for 50 euros i fixed myself
Maybe the car needs a Comfort module replacement? since it seems to go nuts? idk worth a try i guess

just do an EGR delete and get rid of all the leaking problems! that hose will just get plugged!
