CAR NINJA! Playing CATCH UP plus F55 MINI Engine Mount SWAP

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

With no parts deliveries last week due to winter storms customer cars have been stacking up waiting for repairs.
Parts finally arrived and now Jonny and the guys are playing catch up to get the cars serviced and gone as additional customer cars continue to arrive.

    The car wizard has said in a video because of Tyler Hoover, he has a youtube channel and the business has grown so much today. In turn Jonny is also known globally because of Tyler Hoover. Tyler is also the reason Jonny has a youtube channel. Sure Jonny is an awesome mechanic. Tyler Hoover showed the world and now he gets cars shipped in like the car wizard does. Tyler Hoover has changed a lot of people's lives for the better. Multiple people have KZread channels because of him.

At the end of the day, though....for Car Ninja, we just do our normal work and happen to record it and put it out there for people to see. For better or worse. That being said, we understand that we'll never have an audience the size of Car Wizard's, and we're ok with that...we're just happy that enough of you are interested in what we do for us to keep making videos. That's the only reason we keep doing it. Thanks again!

    Johny, we do the engine mounts on the minis, X1s and X2s with the B46 by removing the right front wheel arch liners, and pulling it through from the bottom. Takes practice, but well worth it. No need to crack A/C lines, or touch the hood latch assembly/crossmembers. This repair is becoming more and more common unfortunately

Owned one in Misano Red with Gray interior, which is better than a black interior when the top goes down and the sun is shining down all day while carving through canyon roads. That's what that car did best. It wasn't the most spirited off the line with only 318 ft-lb TQ from the 4.2 V8, despite the 6-spd manual, unless I wanted to beat-up the clutch.

    Johnny the motor mount on the F55 can be snuck out without recovering the a/c if you unclip the white plastic holder off the mount and carefully pull it away without breaking it, as for the headlight It looked like you didn't take it out all the way because of the stupidly held in nut, in the future what I do is I hit the bolts with a torch lighter for a few seconds and that degrades the factory loctite and makes the bolt a lot easier to spin out- impact drivers are the worst on them. Hope this helps you in the future, we do one at least once a week over here, sometimes two or three and sometimes we're all fighting for the last one in stock.

    Little tip for Johnny. Those red locktitle holding the headlight no need to touch them. Drop the engine all the way down .and no need to touch the AC system on the mini.for BMW engine mount .turn the mount and you can get it out. Three cylinder mini are really easy to come out. Four cylinder mini a little harder to get out. BMW one just take the fender liner out .never touch those headlight usually can get down 1hour . warranty paid 2 .customer paid 5

    Look into BMW i3. The pure EV version (80+ miles of range depending on the year) is pretty bulletproof since no ICE engine to fail or leak oil from, lol. But there is also a version with a REX (range extender - small 2 cyl engine that can charge the battery when needed for extra range). The nice thing is their battery is water cooled (like in a Tesla), so it lasts longer than air cooled Leaf batteries that are prone to overheat and fail prematurely. They also have 8 year/100K miles battery warranty for extra peace of mind. I would advice against 2014 REX model with low miles but anything 2015 and up is a safe bet. The only drawback is tires are weird size so only one option available that costs $800 for a set of 4. Good luck!
