BULLETPROOFING The Crank Hub In My S55 M3 - You WON’T Believe What We Found!

- It was time to bulletproof this S55 so I can enjoy my ownership without any worry of spinning the crank hub. Took my m3 over to Auto Couture Motoring to get the full Gintani crank hub along with some downpipes, 1 step colder plugs, and an oil change. You WON’T believe what we found when the stock crank hub came out. Let’s just say, I am glad we replaced it.

We bought our cars around the same time and that’s when I started watching your channel. Literally was was at Auto Coutoure a couple days before you doing maintenance. Matt is the man!
Awesome! Matt is awesome. True car enthusiasts that loves what he does.
Very lucky with the broken friction plate. Excellent video.
I was shocked! Makes it even more worth it. Thanks for watching!
Thank the Car God for the Hub. Can't wait for a full video sound clip and drive by.
Just Bought a 2017 F80 CS in Tanzanite Blue II. I am up saving up for this service! Thank you so much for the transparency in the price! You just earned a subscriber!!
Thats actually very fair for a reputable shop. If shops around me was similar I might go ahead and do mine lol
Bro thank you so much, I am in central NJ, been wanting to get my f82's crank hub out of the way but have been having a hard time determining where to go for it. I am calling the Auto couture guys monday. Their reputation and price point is perfect. The on other guy i talked to was one of those "I'll do it cheaper" guys and he told me $3200. I'll gladly pay the extra $500 to have it done by the highly experienced professionals with an established good reputation shop. Thank you for this video, have fun with your car👍
Awesome! Glad to have helped. They are awesome over there. You’ll be in good hands.
If you plan on doing fueling upgrades, the dorch hpfp would be an easy while they’re in there for the crankhub. I’ll be having mine done together.
Awesome video, my M4 w/29k miles is currently in the shop for CH, DP, and AA single Midpipe.
Thanks! Enjoy your trouble free s55 ownership. It’s a good feeling for sure.
@@Scoobyfreak86 definitely, like you said, sleep well at night 😂
Appreciate the video and full price breakdown, my M2C will be under going the same process probably at the same shop at some point.
Of course! Im glad I could help. You will absolutely be going to the right shop for this. There is an orange m2c there right now getting the ch done 👍🏻
@@Scoobyfreak86 really appreciate you doing this video man , helped a lot, much respect 🫡
Glad to help!
car looks amazing 👌🏻
Agreed ACM is a very reputable shop. I live in NY and only bring my car to ACM to do any work to mine and it’s worth the drive
Speaking facts! They truly know their stuff. Truly don’t think there is any better.
Wow! The cracked friction plate is crazy. Very lucky indeed.
Along with the parts you had swapped, I also had my valve cover swapped. No labor charge of course. Any reason you didn't do that preventative maintenance? Pretty easy DIY for later, but since they already had mine out, I figure why not.
Mine was inspected and was not needed at this time.
Funny enough, I was just watching Alex’s episodes on the evolution of Gintani. One thing he emphasized is that it’s pronounced with a hard G. (Just FYI).
Good to know! Appreciate the heads up.
I just replaced my tie rod, the top end actually popped out from the ball joint and completely disconnected from the sway bar lol thought my strut was blow from all the clanking
Crazy! Glad you got it replaced. Mines no where near that and function properly. Just seized and not able to adjust to toe. Will be fixed shortly!
Given your plans for tuning, I’d say that was a very sensible move! If not tuning *and* you’ve got BMW warranty, I’d say it’s probably not needed
I’ll be going over to things in more detail on the full crank hub video, but I think the condition of my crank hub is a good sign to do it either way.
@@Scoobyfreak86 Perhaps, but if it’s not tuned it would totally be covered by warranty and hence it’s BMW’s money and not your own (and quite a decent sum to avoid)
If under warranty, then I would get one’s reasoning. However, most of these cars are out of warranty at this point unless they extended it or have a third party.
shesh for a 21k miles,that's crazy, what year is your m3? planning getting a 2018 m3,with 80k miles, do you think bmw fix that issues on that year?
Mines a 2018. BMW did not address this so it doesn’t matter what year you get. It’s present throughout all years of the f series s55.
Hey Chris, where did you get the black license plate for NJ?
Custom made
@@Scoobyfreak86 Thanks
What would you recommend as a good BMW to get as a first time BMW owner whose coming from a 2020 Si coupe. I’ve never owned a RWD car. The bmw would have to be manual cause I swear I can never go back to auto lol
Unfortunately, the only manual BMW’s are older ones or m cars. But if you want something rwd and manual, I’d recommend an f87 m2 manual. A blast of a car to drive.
@@Scoobyfreak86 yeah I’ve been looking at those or E92 335i’s but a ton of those have been poorly cared for lol
@@kidstarr100manual 340i if you look hard enough
Would you ever sell the f80 any time soon?
Hard for me to say yes or no at this point since I’m thoroughly enjoying it currently. But at the end of the day, anything and everything is for sale at the right price.
That's a really nice engine compartment except I have say BMW failed with that radiator support. It looks like engineering out of chevy lumina
Upgrading soon 👌🏻
Only 2k miles in 8-9 months?
clean ride tho regardless great vids
Yep. It’s not my daily so it only sees the warmer dry days. Been trying to drive it more now that the warmer months are coming back around.
Price for work and part?
It’s all broken down in the video
is that 3750 with ch or is that without ch
With. Total cost parts and labor.
I'm always curious how much people that can do this maintenance make. It'd be a roughly tough pill for me to swallow if I needed to do ~$5k worth of work.
Think of it this way, would you rather spend the few thousand to do the crank hub or spend 15-20k+ on a new motor? May not make sense to some, but to me, it sounds like a pretty good deal for peace of mind.
@@Scoobyfreak86 Oh, I 100% agree with you. I was just wondering how much money one should have to afford a car like this and be able to do the required maintenance on it. You had the nicest STI I've ever seen and I always had the same question when I watched those videos as well.
What sunglasses do you have?
amzn.to/3VBmiLR
I paid 2250 for my 4 pin crankhub at SSR performance
I was expecting more….
I thought Kies motorsport were the best in NJ :P
Great company and owner, but they do not do customer installs.
@@Scoobyfreak86 someday, my F80 built will catch up like yours....keep it up!
@gokuvegeta179 enjoy the journey! No rush.
Please hide that G80
It’s very hard to trust anyone up here in North Jersey, a lot of shady mechanics.
It’s all over. Not just Nj. Thankfully, ACM is one of those shops you can trust and put confidence in that they will do the job properly and exceed your expectations.
We’re actually quite blessed with multiple reputable shops in NJ. Bimmerhub in Westfield is really making a name for themselves and owned by a former BMW master tech. Jkingsauto is another very reputable shop in North NJ. Believe it or not, Detailers Domain also does at least suspension related installs. Of course, the Stance Shop in Queens. That’s all just North NJ (and Queens), and we haven’t not even gotten to South NJ (and some central).
There’s a difference between over paying and paying for quality work. You overpaid. With the right tools this can be easily done in your garage. I would also argue that most experienced shops charge less!
Price isn’t the main focus here. 99% of owners would not be comfortable handling this job on their own. Myself included. Going to a competent shop with credibility and the proper experience that I felt could handle the job was my own choice. I expressed several times in this video that it’s not a job I felt comfortable doing on my own and even said it can be absolutely be done for less. But that is up to your own discretion of what you’d like to do. So no, I do not think that I over paid for the quality of work done and peace of mind. This is just the route I decided to take with my own car.
@@Scoobyfreak86 yeah this is not your normal DIY home project
I did suspension brakes turbos coolers etc to my s55 and b58 myself at home. Had the crank hub done at a shop, job is just next level and imo to involved for the home mechanic. Btw i paid €1300 for the part including installation.
This is a very reasonable price for this service which requires drilling the crank by someone who’s preferably done it many times before. The Gintani part is expensive as well.
@@bartbersselaar3968was that in uk if yes were did you get it done and what crank did you go with.
Would love to see a mod list video on a g80 even if you have no plans for one. I take delivery of mine in a few weeks and would love to hear what you’d do
Change your own oil .what are you thinking. Are you going to run BM3
Oil has to be drained doing the crank hub since the oil pan needs to be dropped. It’s part of the service.
F8 far superior to G80
