Thanks Dean. Good video.

Great Video!!! Thank you!!! Yes, you are expert and knowledgeable on this N52. I own an E60 2007 525i and most of the issues you mentioned was repairs I got fixed because previous owner totally neglected this Ultimate Driving Machine. Don't understand why people trash their cars. I think you explained it best by saying they just care about the outside look of the vehicle. Love this BMW!!! Drives like a dream after the needed care and attention. Thanks again.

It’s exactly that mate people do only care about how the outside looks so people say nice car nobody they ever meet or see on the road will say open the bonnet and let me see and they don’t even know what to look for so for them the underneath isn’t something to care about just the outside and wheels these cars are brilliant hence why my one has stayed with me so long and even if the engine failed I would put another in with no issues

Thanks dean. I’m going to look at my first one tomorrow (possibly buying) it’s an 07 but only 70,000 miles. I’ll probably not remember everything you’ve covered but what are the main couple of things would you say to look out for please? for a novice like myself. Great vids 👍🏼

My N52 is pushing 150,000 miles in my 09 128i and runs great. I've had to address some of the issues mentioned but all in all fantastic motor. It's the last NA I6 BMW motor if I'm not mistaking. I wish the M division would have done something with it, like some mock ITBs with a 10k redline or something, would have helped aftermarket support I think.

I have an E89 30i N52 and it is just amazing! Sound is amazing also never had a single problem with mine

Going to do the valve cover gasket next weekend. Any additional tips will be great.

5:41 so the N52B25 is OK as long i immediately replace the water pump and the thermostat?

I feel a bit bad about having N52B25 now that you said it has issues with valve stems : ( , but there was no option of 3.0L N52 in coupe body. It burns a bit of oil (1L per 3k miles) but I love it : ) It's punchy for 2.5L non turbo engine. last week I drove 07 plate Merc CLK280 7 G tronic (231BHP) and it was terrible compared to BMW in terms of overall driving experience. I am glad to know that water pump was revised in 06. My car is 07.

I now have 192,000 miles on my N52.. not a single leak or issue at this time. Not much was done along the way. Only belts, tensioners, WP ant TStat, and gaskets. And of course tuneup parts. Great motor!

Hey man. I was writing in your older videos for the engine.Here's an update.Car is e90 2005 with n52b25A.I dont know is this car come from factory with 2 disa's or the previous owner changed the manifold?Whatever i changed all spark/coil plugs.Changed 2 disa's ( OEM).Changed the both vanos solenoids OEM.But still cold car have a little iddling but not a big deal.But now when its summer and its hot when i turn on the air conditioner for cold air sometimes starts a big shaking and iddling.I dont have issues for the warm air when its cold? Why is this happening?Also i didn't make any software changes.I mean after changed all theese things should i have to do a reset for the MSD80's adaptations?As i know this ecu doesn't reset his adaptations after changing untill someone reset them with inpa/ista.Also i think this is the other reason i didnt find any difference in car's running.Only when i changed the big disa felt a litle bit well.And another question about the steering system.I bought the car with this whistle sound when turning on place or around with 10-15km/h but when driving normal its not whistling.When i stop to turn it happens again.With the time this continued with vibration and iddling and steering becamed a little bit hard to turn.But on full turnover now car makes vibration sound.The interesting is if i dont drive the car 2-3 days it stops just the little whistling and steering became easy to turn again.But after 1 day it's all back to old.My mechanic said its 100% the steering pump is gone.The fluid was changed but without results.Maybe the shaking started a little bit after changed it.Could it be some vacuum leak or she's really gone.I just hope you dont say the active steering rack cus she's 2/5 from the car price

Hi DOC i have a question is the cilinderhead n52b30 the same as n52b25 ?

Dean, I can't really understand what you are saying at 9:58 ? take ssd? take ister d? can you please elaborate as to what you're saying at this point? I have a 2006 530i purchased at 130k miles and now it's at 185k and I would like to learn how to take care of my vehicle. Additionally, I was having a rough idle, I was told by my father's friend who is a mechanic to buy the cheapest vanos solenoids made in china and so I replaced them with those chinese solenoids attempting to save money and I am still having the same issue, do you think if I used OEM solenoids that would resolve the issue or is the problem most likely something else? we used a smoke machine to check for vacuum leak and there was no leak to be found. Many thanks

Did you say avoid 325i with the n52? Looking at one but I think you said valve stem oil seal problems?

Thanks for the video's and all your hard work. Recently picked up a z4 coupe 3.0si with the same magnesium valve cover. There's no record of DISA valves being changed and it seems to be light on low end power lately so I'm looking to check the DISA valves. From what I have read they can both have motor failures and physical failures so I was thinking of loosening the large easy to get at DISA and putting a boroscope in the hole to check the operation/condition of the small one while the engine is running. Is this a good way of going about it? Plan is to change to PCV either way as my plugs were rather dark when I changed them. Please don't bash me but... thoughts on aftermarket DISA valves,? So many companies make them, so many price ranges, and the operation of them is so straight forward as far as I know. Thanks!

Mate you cannot buy aftermarket disa valves and you cannot send a stick down the manifold to see the other disa it’s fully closed up above you cannot see down there without removing the manifold when you remove the disa from ontop you will see exactly what I mean you have no chance of doing that

What is ( af ) means after engine number ? Thank you

What's a good scanner to get?

They’re excellent engines, my 2006 E63 630i Sport has 74,000 miles and a full main dealer s/h.. I do have the ticking lifter issue from cold, but admittedly I do quite short mileages which isn’t ideal. Will try the Forte additive and see if it helps. My BMW has done 4600 miles since its last major service so is due another oil change. The only other issue i have recently noticed is a slight rattle sound when revved to around 1400rpm from cold.. it disappears if I put it into gear (auto) and also disappears after a few miles once warmer.. It almost sounds like rattly clutch plates? Will have it investigated with the service. Excellent videos though, these cars might be becoming cheaper to purchase..but that doesn’t mean they can be run cheaply!

Sweet!

Great videos mate. Just for the record, are you saying avoid the N52B25 engines (E92 325i for example)? Also noticed some N52 engines have a silver cover like the one in this video and some have a black cover. Is there any difference between the two engines or just different colour covers? Thanks!

MElekiaZ my friend you are messed up in the head clearly you been working somewhere else because if you know anything about Europe you would know the DIESEL ENGINES ARE MORE RELIABLE THEN PETROL and are highly favoured in the U.K. and Eu by everybody that’s why we get more diesel then petrol and hardly ANY issues diesels DO NOT SUFFER OIL PAN GASKET LEAKS VALVE COVER GASKET LEAKS so what if they have turbo that’s cheap to replace if you know where But reliability I would not even dare say diesel is unreliable diesel is the best

I'm thinking of buying a 325i 2.5 2007 in the UK today and not diesel only because of Ulez.. Should I avoid 325i 2.5? I've read n52 engine is more reliable than n53 on many bmw forums
