I just completed a similar rebuild on a 2013 m sport 328. My first major project beyond simple maintenance. These n20s are pretty simple to work on, and pretty reliable apart from the chain guides.
I can relate - I had a 2000 Ford contour (naturally aspirated v6) and by the time it reached my current BMW 328x mileage (220kkm) it had major power loss, failed AC pipes and compressor, failed starter, failed shifting mechanism, failed power window and problems with central lock. BMW just had faulty headlamp ECU.
Great job as usual my friend! We would like to see a 3 (325CI or 330 CI-Vert) or 5 series (540i) manual on this channel: once done, I might buy it off of you, because I know you do a thorough and clean job! Keep them coming! Cheers from Montreal
I cannot thank you enough for these videos. I just wish I had found them sooner before I started disassembling the head. Unfortunately I ended up damaging the first bearing on the intake cam. I think I know the unfortunate result of this but wanted to ask you if you think I should try and clean it up and run it. I have not found anyone that has done this before. I’ll add some pics to this comment if I can figure it out. Thanks!
Glad you like the videos! Unfortunately, if the journal is damaged there isn’t much you’ll be able to do. You can email me info@bimmerdoctor.com and I can take a look.
Awesome stuff! Well my fuel economy is no where near as good as yours lol.. Still not resolved. Still doing 150KM with 26L of gas lol... Didnt know your from Canada like me lol. Things changed so far: - Fuel Pump - MAF sensor - Spark Plugs - Thermostat - Fuel Injectors (and coded) - Oil Change Also did smoke test, no issues. Next on my list would be: - HPFP - Oxygen Sensors Running out of options lol...
Yeah, you definitely need to stop firing the parts canon and find a good shop who can do a proper diagnostic. Obviously there is a root cause and just guessing which parts to change will be costing you a lot of money! Good luck on the search!
I have a bmw x1 x drive 28i 2014 .2.0 motor . The alternate/ Air compressor belt broke an now i can not get the new belt on. The power steering belt is stopping the new belt feom going on . Any tips for getting a pass the power steering belt ?

Great Video

I have heard the axle bolt is SINGLE USE. So you shouldn't put it back.
