It's been a minute since you posted this video, but just want to thank you for the detailed DIY. I caught Z260's video back when this sensor was first made available. I of course nabbed one immediately from Nexsys, but haven't gotten around to installing it yet. I particularly liked your strategy of routing the sensor wires back through the factory harness and deleting the old switch wiring/connector - very clean! Btw, I seem to recall someone suggested that the probable explanation for why BMW didn't include an oil pressure sensor was because they feared owners would freak out over how HIGH the oil pressure runs on N54s. Regardless of the reason, many thanks to Nexsys!
I plugged the pcv ports on the head and hooked up an external pcv system. So if the lines ever freeze up or gets blocked, it vents the excess pressure so I don’t blow out the valve cover gasket or crack the valve cover. The filter has a ball at the bottom so it allows the engine to keep vacuum and only releases when there’s pressure in the crankcase
bro, in case we do our wiring and buy the sensor our-self , and we have Super linces which includes monitoring, do we still need extra license? can we buy just the license if still needed separate from the Nexsys kit?
Supposedly they’re gonna offer the nexsys license separate from the kit but I don’t think it’s happened yet. But yea you do need the nexsys license for it to work
@@AshwinLB highly appreciate your response. Yep, unfortunately Nexsys dont have just the license on their page. You can agree though with sensor price just about 50$, total of 170 is kinda high ..
No problem! Yep agreed, the actual cost of parts is probably around $60-70 with labour to create the harness. The rest of the cost is probably the r&d to find the values in the ecu to make it work + their profits. I’m willing to pay it though to support the company since it’s nice they’re still developing products for a 15+ old engine

No problem!! Yeah that makes sense, even I was shook when I first saw the pressures that the n54 was running haha!
Good videos bro, saw you from tik tok. Keep it up!!! Defiantly getting one.
Thank you bro, I really appreciate it 🙌🏽
Could I try using your activation key please?
Sorry nope
Lol worth a try
Hi bro tell me your engine has an oil cap as a filter what is it for?

@@AshwinLB Where did you buy the filter?

what kind of oil do you have ?
I use LL01-spec 5w40, usually Motul xcess gen2
@@AshwinLB ok dzięki ;) n54 Poland power
you’re welcome ;)
