One of the best channels in regards to making the watcher get a genuine understanding of what is required to be done. Really clear, as some of us newbies dont make certain connections to things lmao.

I’m successfully delaying all that work on my E92 for years. And now you upload all these DIYs. You make me feel bad and lazy…

Don't give us any ideas!

Great detailed video. I recommend if you are doing this at home to take your time and write down all of your torque specs. A lift makes it easy and fast but, not all have access to one.

Having TQ specs listed out makes things SO MUCH easier!

Also employ the use of an inch pound torque wrench for pan bolts and set to a higher 72 in-lbs (vs low value of 6 ft-lbs on larger wrench) for more noticeable clicks.

Something NOBODY said about dropping the N51-52 non X-drive aluminum pan is that it CAN get blocked by the rear crank throw. So all you have to do is turn the crankshaft clockwise a bit. I got hung up trying to drop my pan for a day and a half because it was in the way. Turned crank a 1/4 turn and it dropped without issue.

@@alpinen52ny79 nah for me it was because these guys NEVER said anything about the crank being able to be in the way. Knowing this, if the pan will not drop easily. The throw is in the way. Everything else was easy, it was the lack of knowledge the throw could be in the way.

@@stevensims3342 How many hours do you think this work takes?, without the inconvenience with the crank shaft

You seem to have the weight of the car on the wheels, for tightening the control arm & sway bar bushing bolts, but without the stiffening plate in place. A big deal or not???

how did you get the subframe and motor mount broken bolts out i have the same issue, but can you get them out if they break

Can you please help me my subframe bolt broke like yours so there’s not head on it anymore how did you remove it?

do you guys service peoples cars at your CT location?

Now what would happen if I just left the leak what other things could it cause ??

This right here is why my E90 leaks oil like the Exxon Valdez

What are the torque spec for the pan bolts on a N47?

Hay guys. I have a BMW x5 go5 2019. Can you tell me if there is a fuel filter that you can replace also if they have a water separator? Thanks guys.

Gasoline. Fuel filters are in tank with pressure regulator. Whole unit.

What engine support bar did you use? What tow hook did you use?

@mr2_mike

3 ай бұрын

Tow hook is your tow hook in the trunk by spare tire.

So you didnt have to prime the engine?

How many hours did you spend on this job? Just to have an idea.

@fcpeuro

Ай бұрын

Our time is significantly skewed due to filming, it took us about ten hours of filming!

I was afraid of dying with the engine falling on me so took it to the shop am I the only one who's tow hook didn't properly fit in the top support thread next to the valve cover?
