E60 tip! Always remove passenger front wheel and lower fender liner and peel up upper liner and remove rubber drain piece, clean out massive debris, zip tie flap of rubber J drain to wiring handy there and it won't flood the ECU/DME electronic box. Required maintenance for every e60/e61!
@peeteraavisto2420 Жыл бұрын
E60 light modules usually don't go bad. Sometimes, when there is a permanent short circuit on some light, the power is cut off inside light module. Usually inside the headlight, the insulation of wiring falls off due ageing and heat cycles and lines getting into contact create short-circuit. Short circuit protection inside light module can be reset with BMW software like Tool32 after wiring is repaired. Of course, dealer-level software like DIS and ISTA don't offer such kind of reset and require light module replacement.

One of the main reasons for German cars' "unreliability" is lack of maintenance and unqualified mechanics. There are very few cars these days with possibly questionable reliability, like some Land Rover, or some French and Italian cars. But with proper maintenance the cars of the main German brands run flawless for many years.

You don’t even see them on the road anymore 😂
Damn!! I need an honest and knowledgeable mechanic like you Jonny to fix my BMW cars 😫 I got a 2005 E46 M3 vert w/ SMG trnsm. and a 2017 X5 with the m sport pckg. My M3 has some issues here and there but I’m reluctant to take it to any shop for repairs because the mechs here doesn’t seem like they’re confident in doing the job 😟
As difficult as modern BMWs can be to work on, those access panels in the interior make them WAY easier to change the fuel pump and fuel filter than on GM vehicles; which have them inside the damn gas tank!
Nice
Buongiorno Jonny! You ready to put some Bilstein shocks on a Boxster? Hoping to be the winner of JR’s car this week!
The 525i,528i,530i are the only E60s I’d ever buy. BMW inline six engines are still very good! Way fewer issues than their V8 engines.

Hi Jonny , Where is your shop? Really enjoy the videos , as I have a BMW 528i
Hey car ninja. I've just got a 2018 M3 comp. I'm getting a solid crankhub as we speak. I love it it's a fantastic car and with a computer tune from bootmod it's an animal. Really like your stuff
I wish Johnny was working on my car!
Hi Ninja, Same car, same year. Do you recommend clearing the codes after repairs are performed or do you allow the car to clear them by itself? Thanks in advance!
Car Ninja did not know Dale Earnhardt.... such a shame.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Nice find of Dale's Snap On screwdriver. Congratulation.
Jonny needs to check out Cleetus McFarlands channel that’ll bring him up to speed on Dale😂
My headlight was completely dead so I plugged in INPA and reset the fault counter. Came right back to life. Headlight housing was cracked and water shorted it.

Got a windows 10 laptop and ISTA/INPA cable for less than a new FRM
I used to drive E60 2006 Milage was 500K It was still running good Best engine with good maintenance life longer
Been getting head aches from driving bmw u think I should change oil
Quick question: changed my angel eyes right side 4 weeks ago and it’s gone again Could it be my LCM gone. Have codes for LCM on ista-D diagnostics. Is it easy to change . Do you need to code it or can you plug play? Can you use ISTAD to code or a scanner?
I'm confused. doesn't the FRM module control the lights?
Quite a loud tick on that car is that normal? Really like your videos seeing real artisans at work with a genuine love of cars.

Its completely normal the car must of been sitting for awhile, and it goes away if you go for a spirited drive.

Do you guys over in the states get the 40d engine? 3.0 twin turbo . I have a x5 40d individual spec and love it and would love to see some content on it.

I have that engine . It’s super but need to do regular oil changes so timing chain doesn’t break as it’s costly to replace or it’s new engine.
How much will you charge for an oil pan gasket replacement for BMW X3 2012 28i ?
Ninja, can you tell me how I can fix the water valve right error code? It has been there for almost three year of the same car that you were working on.
what would be the most reliable e60
Can i ask what’s the floor type of your garage?
Did you find your flashlight?
Nice video. Is that ticking sound at the end of the video normal for this car?

Yes, it is
I have a question I have the same car but mine shakes i wanted to know why and what I can do
I had a 2009 530i. At idle, the engine would make a ticking noise like the one in the video. Adding some Marvel mystery oil to the engine oil made the sound disappear 😁

Lifter tick its normal just sit in car stationary and keep rev counter just above 3k revs for 3mins and fills back up the lifters you have to do it a few times a year usually if left idle for a week or two
Question...I have a 2008 BMW 528i.... where is the Fuel Vapor detection pump located.... I am trying to replace it but can not find it ...
A free screw driver the car Ninjas lucky day
Found a 2008 528i 139k miles for $2000 ….supposedly with a main frame electric relay needing to be done??? Don’t know what that is but I wanna purchase so bad…worth the money or not?
Love that Cheshire cat grin at the end. "Oops, I made a booboo." You're human, Jonny? Say it ain't so! 😆 I never knew for sure what engine the 528s had in them. I thought maybe it was a four banger, but that looked like a six. 2.8 litre? Why would they make one so close to a 3.0? Or is it a 3.0 with just different options on the body?

E60 was pre 4 banger era. 6s, 8s or 10s only.
Freaking died seeing ninja read the Dale signature and not knowing who he is 😂
Cleetus may appreciate that screwdriver.
Those 528i are one of the most reliable e60s don’t buy a v8 one or a M5 unless you can turn a wrench or have deep pockets 😂

Other continent? From where are you?

Hello, question how did you determine that it was the light control module and not the FRM
@realcarninja
Жыл бұрын
Because the FRM doesn't control the lights. I never actually thought it was the FRM I just misspoke.
My N52 has the exact same ticking noise I hear at about 11:15 in the background. Seems to go away after driving for a bit. Anything to be concerned about?

Which engine is this? N52?
Hopefully the belt didn't get sucked into the engine.

Dale Earnhardt was the best mechanic to ever lose his screw driver
Why take a Beemer to a quick lube or cheap oil change shop?
"never heard of him...I'm from a different continent"!!!!!! Clutch comment! Like me with gridiron, baseball and basketball.
When Jonny calls a BMW "beautiful" I legit can't tell if he's being sarcastic or not 🙂
