- I tear this BMW m57 diesel engine down to find out what's broken, why it happened and how to prevent it from happening again. Even though this engine failed, I'm also very impressed with it's design. What would you like to see me do with this engine??

Great job
From Argentina 🇦🇷
Keep it up
First comment! 🏆 DM me your address and I’ll send you some swag. Thanks for watching! 🤘
Que orgulloso estoy pibe
Donde mero sos boludo?
Ñoo boludo
The Scotty kilmer impression was funny af😂😂 "alright now that Scotty is gone" got me laughing hard
Scotty might be one of the most annoying things on TH-cam, more annoying than the adds😅
@@ville85 but Scotty is honest ngl
Funny but he is still right and you idiots buying new cars are just letting these companies get away with crap that barely lasts the warranty period.
That impression earned my subscription
@@ville85 It's all in good fun, I'm subscribed to Scotty. He's different and that's why he's so popular.
Your videos are awesome. I love how you systematically disassembled the engine, laid out all the clean parts, and discussed your thoughts. Of course the humorous parts were well done as well. Great content!!
Thank you!
Love the M57, took one to 200k miles in my E46 330D and currently 165k in my E92 335D with 390hp and still running very nicely. Had an n54 335i that spun a bearing at 94k.
N54’s don’t spin bearings. That’s on you for running the wrong oil or massive abuse.
@@TML34 well actually it was a failed fuel injector that leaked past the pistons into the oil and caused the spin so not strictly the engine, but still, those injectors were the worst
@@revolver106 oh, so it diluted the oil and you were running basically running 0 weight. 😂 BMW only had 12 revisions on the injectors, I don’t know what you mean… lol
At 175K in my 2011 335d -- thing is rock solid. Change the fluids, replace an occasional vacuum line, GP distributor, engine mount, HB, etc thing is solid.
I'm looking to buy a 335i with the n54. On a scale of 1-10 how reliable is the engine? Can it handle more power at stock
Amazing videos. I don't even have a BMW anymore(used to) but I'm so fascinated by your ability to find exact root cause and look for evidence supporting it. You are certainly a role model for how to go about diagnosing issues. Just amazing production and content. Keep it up man.
The M57 is a very interesting engine next to the N57… Would love to see more about these diesel engines. Keep it up, from Germany.
Witch one is better you think ? I want to buy a X5 they have both m57 and n57
@@Notorious31100 Of course m57
The M57 ist the more reliable engine because it has got less rod bearing problems as the N57.
When it’s about tuning, then the N57 is better because of the potential
Thanks
@@yarrovic Also N57 suffers from timing chain problems and high pressure fuel pump destruction. I've replaced complete timing chains in 3 N57, at about 218k/225k/260k km.
cil 6, in these engines, is more often than not the first "to go" due to the fact that it receives way less cooling than the others. a common mod is to use a freeze plug in the back of the head to create another coolant outlet, which mitigates this.
can you give a link for mod like this?
Please do
Same with the old OM606 engines.
Mate I recently started watching your videos. Literally the best explanation of all TH-cam videos about bmw engines...congrats and keep up the great work..
Finding the cause of your issue is the most important single thing any young mechanic could learn. So many little things can turn catastrophic and this cycle repeats itself if you don't find the cause. Many very good mechanics can forget this step. Especially when you are in a comfort zone and feel like you've seen the same issues before.
crystalisation is water from the water/methanol injection.
Not only did they inject water, they injected regular water instead of distilled/denatured water, which is dumb
Awesome video Jamie ! I don’t own a diesel Bmw but still watched entire video.. wow man you killed the Scotty Kilmer skit ! Excited for the m-54 one coming up also
Working on Porsche engines since 1974, taught me to always have a Vice grip around . The cam bolt can be removed without turning the 2:14 engine , trust me ( I did it ).
Moral of the story is dont go chasing an extra 40hp with Wi unless you fit a safety valve ❤
Without putting the crankshaft on centers and measuring for straightness, one is guessing. Same goes for miking the thickness of the main bearings-
i'm portuguese, and here these 6 cylinder diesel engines are the best, just a little programming to have more power.
Love your videos, especially how informative you are. You actually take time and explain every little detail
Very professional video , I guessed hydro lock as the cause of the bent rod , but was surprised the methanol system was the cause .
Scotty is right about German cars. They're repairs are soul crushing.
Omg!!! Scotty impression was fricking funny as hell 😂
Makes me feel better about my engine
The impersonation of Scotty was absolutely hilarious ja ja ja ja ja ja jajajjajajaj
I think it's so cool that you did a tutorial on this engine. I like investigating as to the failures of an engine. Thank you for this video. My OCD was kicking in, and I couldn't wait for the video.
Now, I can't wait for what you're going to do with diesel engine. I know you're going to do something really awesome. I can see this going into a really cool project car. Something light that's going to make the car really fast. The question is, what?
the scotty kilmer impression was so on point hahaha need that in more videos
Great video! I'm glad you worked with Chris Fixx, otherwise I may have missed your channel!
It's probably a waste of money, but it'd be cool to see it completely built. Strong af even after bending the rod the block looks perfect
Love the video and the scotty Kilmer skit! Great clip!! Love how you inspected the engine and removal etc. Great job, Jamie! Many thumbs up
6:37 was too funny
You risk a similar issue with a meaty shot of nitrous - peak cylinder pressure will spike. Combined with mediocre tune might see rod turn banana shape.
I have yet to see anyone bend/break M57 rod that wasn't from water/meth and or nitrous injection.
8:59 “It’s a boy. We’ll name him Rod.”…
…“She’s bent!”
🤯
Missed the "BMWs are an endless moneypit!" with the scotty kiler imression haha
I've just binge watched all your videos and shorts, can't wait for more!
Im a master lexus technician, an let me tell you men, I love the videos, I have learned a lot from them. Now i want to get a bmw as a project car hehe. Keep up the good work 👍
Well done sir, we’ll done 👍😎
The crystals may be from DEF (the liquid can crystalise) but this is way too far up the exhaust. Crystalised parafin is very rare to happen, only really seen it on cars that are stationary for a long time with old diesel. And it sucks at staying in place and does not bode well with high temps. But it can stiffen up with enough carbon.
I would not be surprised if the car went through very badly done carbon removal procedure or some DEF cleaning additive was put in fuel.
Also some biodiesels can cause this too
DEF is injected way down stream of the engine. The DEF tanks and the SCR catalyst are located between the DPF and exhaust.
Yeah.. I figured when I saw that junk in the intake that it had at some point vapor locked and bent a rod. Was surprised to see that it was a meth injection failure.
Water injection??
We have a a M57 blow a hole in the block at the 6th cylinder. The customer was using Straight alcohol and injecting a very large amount.
I would also say that crystallization is coming from the previous owner using windshield washer fluid for a water injection system.
It also looks similar to the DEF fluid crystallization but nobody with a second fuel pump has the def system still intact
When i saw second cp pump on the engine, i knew this rod has seen some torque 😂
Audibly laughed at 6:36. I just clicked through a Scotty video on BMW (in a private window so as to not contaminate my algorithm) and the impression was spot on.
This scenario is one of the very rare occasions that an m57 rod gets bent. Either something in the cylinder or the block gets red Hot, because damn these are thick rods
Can you do a video or video series on rebuilding this engine?
Was there a solenoid valve on the water/meth line? Was the reservoir higher then the injection nozzle?
Really what I'm more surprised by was the use of water/meth in a diesel engine. Is there a point to it? Is there a point to the nos? I thought most diesels used propane injection to boost power
Water and meth slow the burn rate creating a more complete and efficient stroke thus potentially more power/much less fuel used/ and cleaner running engine (eliminates carbon buildup)
Looking at the gunk and the way the rod has bent in compression, did you ask the owner if it had ever been wrong fueled or if an iffy fuel additive had been used.
That Kilmer impersonation was almost spot on!
You just woke up today and decided to roast Scotty lmao
"that is totally methed up". I lol'd
Bahahaha the Scotty Kilmer impression was spot on! Love the channel Jaimie, keep it up!
M57D30 iron block “the rock”
Great channel. Really enjoy watching. Your humour is top shelf and makes me laugh like hell!
dude you trolled scotty lol felt bad for him but its true XD XD
The tear down was well done, thanks 👍
Lol that scotty kilmer "cameo" 👌
Who?
Two months ago I sold my E60 530D 2005 with 405 000km, run perfectly. Ofc it had stage 2 with 280-290hp
I love how we all watch these videos so much we understand the Scotty reference 😂
I like that bmw doesn’t make you remove oil sprayers from the block at least from what I saw in the video that’s very nice I work on CAT equipment/engines in the earthmoving industry and it’s a coin flip if you whap one off by skipping removal lol
My dad has a 2004 eu spec 730d but it was has the TÜ 1 motor which still had the cast iron block but its a great powerplant
Nice video as always. You should build a 1000 hp M57 engine 🥰
6:40 Well he has got a point. I am car mechanic and I drive toyota avalon. My customers drive vw, bmw, audi and made me wealthy.
Legitimately the first time I've ever seen the indestructable m57 have a broken internal. How much power was it pushing?
It was broken because of faulty meth injection kit. Cyl6 got flooded/hydro locked.
Mate you made my day with scotty gimmick. Damn, so on point. Keep it up mate, you are amazing, i like your videos and the way you explain, even i understand, and i have no clue about cars ☺️
Put this engine in an E46 if you can, that would be badass
the bit with the toyota guy lmao
The crystal is probably a head gasket sealer
You. Good teacher…thanks
Thank you so much 💯
Respect to the toyota gag, but it is true specially if there are literally no good mechanics nearby.
Some places Don't even have dealerships
I just found Your channel, love the breakdown and analysis, leaving a sub and going to check out more content! Thanks for the uploads!
Just found you channel and subbed - love all the detail. Looking forward to watching more of your vids and getting smarterer. :)
14:59 can I get that on a t shirt?!
😅
Aside from the carbon buildup this is a good gnegine. The long narrow intake runners inside the head are difficult to clean and I imagine it was partly why the owner was running meth injection.
The only thing that sucked about this E90 was that the gear spacing on the ZF6HP didn't compliment the tq curve of this engine. I still miss my 335d but I can only imagine how much better the N57 is with the ZF8HP.
I would rebuild it and put it on the shelve!
Awesome video!!
oh c'mon 'no start concern' - obviously it would sound different if its banging internally
thank you MAN
Do a m57 swap 318ti
So how do you keep from getting the galvanic corrosion since aluminum on its own has inherently superior corrosion resistance to steel
new fear unlocked
Also Scotty is my favorite BMW guy.
Complaining that you can't take off the valve cover of a E90. Scotty if you took out those three bolts you are pointing at everything would be out of your way.
Love you Jamie! I know you love bmws but save an old Mercedes please or a 80s or 90s bmw, keep up hard work!
i put pistons in engine block with new rings and when i turn over i see some scratch on cylinder wall?
You should be sponsored by a break cleaner company if you are not already
2:05 - I would cut the chain. What are you really losing?
Scotty is ignorant about European cars and talks trash about them, but they are great-performance cars. Great job BTW.
outstanding video
So what caused it to bend??
Turn it into a gasoline engine. Lower the compression and use the blocks extra rigidity to make a strong gasoline engine. Probably far fetched and probably going to be expensive, but just a thought
Sacrilege.
What 1/2“ long handle with ratcheting head is that?
I really want to swap a M57 engine into my Nissan Patrol Y61.
You can buy a reliable car that you hate. Or you can buy a car you love that isn’t always as reliable. Regardless the car. The make. The model. You’re going to have issues. So pick a car you love. Because nobody wants to sink money into something they hate.
E46 335d!
fantastic job, Viele Grüße aus Deutschland
Scotty has made millions 💩💩 on BMW, Mopar, Mercedes. Can't stand the guy but he knows ppl like to hear his rants.
Edit: donate the engine to the local highschool shop, and tell em to record a teardown vid that u will put on ur channel! All about the community, both YT and IRL 🙂
It’s a boy, let’s name him rod oh she’s bent 🤣
Thought it would be oil that got past the piston rings 😢 not meth!
Did Scotty tell him try Lucas oil 🤔
Very interesting
This is the m57 bi turbo 286hp ?
someone tell scotty there's nothing fun in driving a 150hp tin can 35mph in the right lane all your life.
you might give it to Chris :)
the fact that engine has a chance of running again surprises me
Punch it out and get a new set of nice pistons that fit the new bore.
Get a new rod for 6
Get new bearings.
Send it.
