+PDX Supercars 💪😎
Thank you! Just did it on my F82. Really helpful.
that cloud was crazy. great video and the car sounds incredible
+James Zilla thanks, I love the sound!
I just bought a 2021 M2C and installed OCC day one
You're brave that you did this to the car. I wish I have the courage to do it. Good video. Thank you.
+T Ng not that brave... thousands of people have done it before me :)
Every mechanics dream comment this....😂
I also went ahead and did both turbos too. Sprayed into the vacuum line for cold side intake (turbo 1) and directly into the hot side intake for turbo 2. Both locations should be post-MAF sensor.
+Tom Thongprasert 👍
Where is that diagram
I personally like using Seafoam 👍
+Anthony Isgro that plays :)
Hey! Me again. I just installed the mishimoto catch can. It'll fit with the dinan air box but its a squishy. I'm looking for some thinner hoses for the catch can.
+daniel leung I haven’t looked into those at all, but please let me know if you find one with a great fit!
My M4 Smokes Exactly like this sometimes, just when i turned it back on. What could be the Reason for the Smoke ??
Can you show how to clean the turbos using the turbo cleaner? Thanks great content!
+Auto Fanatic Thanks! I’ll have to look into that...
Hi Aaron(Sp?) I like your videos. Just did the valve cleaning on my 2016 M3, followed all steps, got the big smoke cloud and limp mode, then nice performance. But the check engine light is still on after 2 days. Any advice? Thanks
+Kevin Ryan thanks! And spelling is correct 😉
I would check the code with a code reader (or ISTA) and then reset it. If it comes back then investigate further.
Just wondering what were the other 2 lights at the end of the video? Love your videos. I don't own and M4 but am saving up to buy one of the F82 M4's.
+Victor Sullivan that was the MDM (M dynamic mode) and the traction control light that reminds you it’s off when you’re in MDM 😉🍻
So did you feel a more responsive throttle or any improvements? I did something like this with seafood on my Toyota a few years back. The whole neighbourhood was full of white smoke. Btw are there any alternative brands I can buy? I'm in the UK so selection is limited
+Zain Rj haven’t driven it since I did this yesterday still so I can’t say if I feel any difference. I’m not expecting to though. Car already feels amazing. Just doing this as preventative maintenance with oil changes. And yes, I think CRC was the first brand but there are others now.
Seafood? I assume seafoam yes? Is your toyota direct injection? I did mine and no smoke came out so I assume my intake valve is pretty clean (my car is gdi only). I assume driving it hard helps keep it clean but exhaust tip dirty since my exhaust tip is black due to all the carbon and soot it blew out every time I drive mine really hard.
My Porsche dealer tech told me several years ago the "GM top end cleaner" was the best product to use for this purpose. Must admit I have never done it. I run a bottle of techron through there once per year of so. I might think differently if I had a direct injection engine, but not sure how this would help that in any event?
+John Morgan yes I guess the additives don’t help GDI engines and this cleaner won’t help non-GDI engines.
@@HelpMeDIY Putting techron in the gas tank will help clean the fuel system and reduce carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. If the engine has port injection, it will also help clean the ports and intake valves, but not nearly as much as spraying into the intake.
Please give us a feedback. Did it feel any different? Did it consume less or whatever? Thanks
+Adi Nicu no and I didn’t expect it to. Just like when you change your oil 😉
Did my first CRC cleaner on a manual gear f80 s55 engine. NO SMOKE , No limp mode .
Just a 5 minute shaking engine , kept it in low Rpm and drove away until engine became normal .
P.S
There is a slight difference in refine engine sound
+Hussam Abdul good to know, thanks!
Did you check to see what code was causing the drivetrain malfunction light to come on?
I don’t think so
My car has a EGR fault idk what that is ?? I can’t find anything on the forums help 😢
+ 🤷♂️ sorry
Did the error code come back ?
+F82 Mike nope!
You're supposed to hammer it. Used to do this on my dsm

I’m new to Beamers. (Coming from Audi)
What I don’t understand is that (you probably can’t answer this) is why BMW haven’t improved this issue like other manufacturers, such as Audi, LEXUS etc.. creating a dual-injection system… a GDI but with an additional injector above the valves to give the same effect as the conventional multi port injection system to aid cleaning… not certain if the G80…
Also by the way, you don’t actually need an assistant…
I’d say it’s a more; nice to have. I’ve done this many times with a piece of wood wedged between the seat and the gas pedal and using the electric seat adjuster button to move it forward till you reach the desired RPM.
+eeiko321 you’re right, I don’t know the answer. Welcome to the Bimmer life! Note that a Bimmer is a BMW car and a Beamer is a BMW motorcycle 😉
This isn't a "BMW" problem. It's a direct injected engine problem. Every direct injected engine suffers from this problem to a degree. VW/Audi were notorious for it. Engine manufacturers are introducing port injection (e.g., the latest generation of the B58), but this is a problem that people are going to be dealing with for years.
Blip it

Thank you! Just did it on my F82! Really helpful
+M love hearing that! You’re welcome 😉
