Thank you

As always a good content ! Something completely different, where can we find the washer fluid fuse ?? I don't have any fluid out and don't hear the "hmmm" from the pump :/ it's a 2015 m235i

Just noticed my passenger side Thurst arm is leaking😢 man it’s one issue after another with these bmws bro…

A shame that you got the orientation of the BMW logo hub caps wrong, they should officially be perpendicular with the "M" logo. Just kidding around Fritz, great content as ever!

lol. Thanks!

I have some clunking ever since I installed my KW suspension... after retorquing everything except for the sway bar links the noise persists... only on one side. Only happens over bumps. Thought it was the steering rack bushing, a popular fix amongst F2X,F3X cars.. but nope. I really like your guides Fritz, I'm sure a lot of people will find this video useful! (but I'm a coward and sick of noises so for this fix I'd just take it to a shop)

Did you install camber plates? Don't be so hard on yourself. It was only a few years ago that I wasn't able to do this job on an easier RWD. It's all a process

@@FritzRamos ended up being the adjustable end links... the nuts that adjust length were not tight and it moved a bit. all good now!

lots of very good tips and tricks Fritz, just curious- why didn't you go to the adjustable bearings?

Thank you. This was my friends car and I thought the adjustable ones were only for RWD cars unless they have it available for X-drive now

Hey I just bought f22 235i with automatic gearbox and xdrive, do you think stage 1 370hp map tuning is safe for that gearbox?

I'd describe the intro sound as *shuttering* under load, would definitely check wheels & suspension as you show here. The *clicking/ticking* I had was due to a friction disc that was required between performance rotors & wheel hub, a BMW recall exists for this.

I also thought it would be the clicking/ticking noise, which I thoroughly tackled in my videos.

Is there a specific one for our cars though? The only ones I see available are matches for the M cars.. it's not the end of the world as you can bodge them to fit, it's just they don't hold themselves when putting everything back together unlike assembly on an M car, I had to get a second set of hands to pinch the friction disc whilst I put everything back together.

my clicking came back so i have to look into upgrading some old bushing or suspension parts

Seems like front control arm replacement is needed more often on the last few generations of BMWs. I worked at a BMW dealership a few years ago and just about every modern BMW I tapped the brakes on needed front control arms or bushings. At one point we got dinged by BMWNA for having the most front control arm warranty repairs in the country. It is what it is though. If they're bad they're bad. It still appears to be a problem and you can tell for the numerous control arms available to be purchased on the internet.

Pull up or down when torquing. Don’t pull with your back. Easy to strip the head

I really don't like that cheap plastics are still used for suspension components on performance cars, crappy lifespan. I'd like to get solid or poly bushings eventually to make steering less sloppy

Hey! Thank you for your videos! I have a BMW 2016, 328i. I have soft noise when I turn on my AC as if the fan was rubbing against something. Do you know what the problem could be? Thank you!!!

I think I have this issue.

My control arms are dead after three track days 😂

rwd is much easier to work on, my euro rwd m235i doesnt have a aux radiator
