    Thanks bro ! It was best explanation and all in detail. It did help who guy never changed oil.

Any way thanks

    That was a good explanation and video on that job. I think im going to remove mine and have a look at the valves on cylinder 5. For some reaon when I started my car it threw the rocker and the follower clean off. I found them both lying in the cylinder head, bought new parts from BMW but after fitting it back together I can lift the rocker off the valve.3mm clearance, so I might have a sticking or bent inlet valve on cylinder 5. The lifter is solid but of course you cant get it fully out without removing the inlet camshaft. Looks clean anyway, i managed to get it half out.

    just needing to access the inner rear bolt on the oil filter housing and may have rounded the bolt. soo need to hammer in my e10 socket. would it be sufficient enough to just remove the bolts from intake manifold to the engine and skip out the cables/and other bottom bolts? just need to move intake manifold to the side by a couple of inches. soo can access the oil housing bolt. will re-visit the intake manifold gaskets in the near future when parts are ordered..
    what do you think? reckon just do the bolts and skip on disconnecting wirings and bottom or surrounding bolts?
    would appreciate your opinion/advise :)

    I happen to still have two e39 528i -96 and 528iT -00.
    I got the same problem with the engines of both.
    At -30°C the motors stalled... Then I had oil all over the engine bay...
    Then we opened the engine and some cylinders where full of oil...
    After cleaning and putting back all parts the engine fired up as usual.
    The breather pipes and the whole system froze at low temperatures, unless you made some preparations.
    1) Cover up the grille.
    2) When coming home after a less than 15 km drive. Let the motor idle for some minutes till everything in the engine bay is warm.
    Then you may be have no water in these systems.
    Some other brands have/had electric heated pipes.
    I didn't have a 230 v engine heater either, but in the x3 I have.

      From the front of the car lift the manifold and have both arms reaching round the back, like your bear hugging it, you might need a tiny flat head use both hands to wiggle and pick them out, the job is a pig, just because there is no space to move about, George made it look easier than it is, this job is not for the faint hearted, good look putting it all back together.
