    Great video as always, Jason! I refreshed my entire cooling system (less the heater core and radiator) in my 2008 e92 328xi at 220k miles last year. The "only" reason I did it was because I decided to replace all the front end thrust arms, control arms and tie rods. However, once I removed all the front end suspension, I realized I was very close to being able to support the engine and drop the front subframe and repair the slow leaking oil pan gasket I was putting off for the last 70k miles, 😆. It was literally at that point I realized this was the perfect time to access a the WP, t-stat, clamps & hoses, etc. I was shocked to see that the Date Codes on the parts were originals back to 2008. I also replaced the OFHG and went with the upgraded "Mickey Mouse" fitting on the OFH. I'll be doing all of this again on my wife's 2011 328i xdrive this spring! I think I enjoy working on my e9X chassis cars than my e46/e46M cars!

You mentioned a few extensions with a 1/4 inch drive. I tried every extension and the bolt is almost impossible to align it straight on, the swivel socket i used to remove them keeps sliding off and i dont know how to thread them back on.

I have the same car and replaced almost everything except the plastic hose that connect the expansion tank with the termostat, transmission and heater. i have the hose that I was not able to disconnected from the heater side and don't want to damaged it as I didn't ordered the heater hose and the return hose from heater. My question is: Looks like the plastic coolant recovery hose and the 2 for the heater are OK, I never use the heater because am in Florida and I think the is not to much circulation on the heater , the car is a 2010 with 135K. What you think about it ?. Thanks

She can’t find anyone around here trustworthy to fix it, several mechanics gave her a price but couldn’t guarantee the work. Most suggested another engine. Her engine has about 145k miles and was well maintained until the hard plastic heater hose cracked, lost coolant and overheated. I don’t know what to do with her car now. Do you work on other people’s cars, or do you know any reliable mechanics around here? Thank you.

You can also open the engine bay with M3 cowls & set the fan speed to sport for another 10degree reduction. For turbo BMWs, this is probably the best mod to benefit longevity & all engine/coolant components.

    I've replaced every coolant hose, the water pump thermostat radiator coolant tank and there's still a leak somewhere, I can't see or feel any on the hoses but I see drips on the trans cooler lines coming from somewhere up above, I haven't pressure tested it yet, I'm at a loss as to where it's coming from. There also still oil leaking from somewhere, I've replaced the oil pan gasket, the oil filter housing gasket the vamos hose which was leaking really bad the valve cover gasket and still there's oil leaking, it's not the work I did, it's not dripping on the ground like it was before, but you can smell it coming through the vents and see it on the drivers side of the block right below the intake manifold it also has a p0171 and 174 plus a p01083, the engine runs great with only 93,000 miles on it, I can't pass inspection because none of the monitors will set.
