I’ve reached out to you several times on several different platforms all to no avail. I know your busy and can’t get across to helping every single person, but if you did have time, I wanted to ask , I’m having an Evap issue on my E46. I’m getting P0441 and very occasionally I get P1250. My question is , if I have to smoke test the Evap system and check in the rear, where do I introduce the smoke from? How do I close/open valve manually to allow smoke through? Instead of it just coming out the vent . And could this issue be the cause of low fuel mileage ?? Also wanted to ask ya about my key, my key starts the car but the buttons don’t work at all! I’ve tried to to code them to the car and nothing, I know the FZV antenna is what sends the signal for the key fob. What would you suggest I do to go about getting the key to sync? Or how should I check the antenna? Or is it GM5? Thanks in advance

Keeping it clean makes it easier to find leaks and to work on. I use Scrubbing Bubbles spray followed with Aerospace 303 Vinyl Protector.

About to do my 1st ever oil change on my 325Ti Compact. Guess which video guide I'm going to use? Thanks for all your time and money saving videos down the years.

Bro, he is the real BMW E46 OG He helped for a LOT of BMW owners during the last 7-8 years, BMW forums praise him because of it. If he hadn't stop videos due to personal reasons he would have 3-400K subs now.

Great video for DIYers....I always clean ALL my BMW engine bays (as well as the Silverado) A clean engine seems to run cooler/better. However, mine cleaning only takes about 5 mins (LOL) I like Simple Green & garden hose, then a 5 min drive to evaporate the water. Has worked for 50+ years & at least 15 BMW's. Thanks for posting Jason & motivating others to "Clean it Up". Nothing worse than a dirty engine on a clean BMW. You can see this on any car dealer selling a used BMW or any make for that matter.

Mother's back to black is also a great product

Did you ever use additives for the engine, like engine flush, friction reduction like Motorkote, Ceratec, 505CRO ?

@jeffreyhinman1397

If you use liquid moly moly gen oil it has ceratech in it and is recommended not to use ceratech with that oil type. Also, a good fuel system cleaner for these cars since it’s direct injection, is dijectron from liquid moly.

I have an unrelated question...I saw your series on converting your e46 to a manual transmission from a few years ago, then watched a newer video about replacing an e46 steering angle sensor. That car had an automatic tranny (based on the lack of 2 pedals). Was that a different car, or did you convert back to a slushbox? Your videos have been very helpful in dealing with my 2003 330ci, but I feel sorry for you working in that postage stamp of a garage! I'm up near Sacramento and have a 4 car garage...still not big enough!

I did convert it back, yeah, because I got a job and had to sit in traffic every day so didn’t want a manual. But, I might convert it back to manual because I’m thinking about selling it soon. Make some room for the next project car

@@50sKidThanks for your reply... you need to move out of LA! Both my BMWs (e46 330ci and e30 325iC) have manual trannies as does my 93 Toyota pickup. My wife's Mazda is the only slushbox in the fleet, but she would replace it in a heartbeat with a manual e39 530i if we found a good one. Sacramento traffic is bad at times but not LA horrific. I went to high school in the early 70s in Orange County and moving north for college at UCD was the best move I ever made.
