Hey how's the eccentric shaft holding up from Alibaba? Could you send me the link?
Nice video I just liked and subscribed, I have a 2016 535i xdrive, where can I find / order the eldor coil for it
Would love this for my f10 but almost a band for a brain and harness? I’m better off taking it to a shop and getting their kit with install would be similar to the price of bimmertechs
Hi Grant, just out of curiosity, was the original noise like a ticking / clicking noise every time the wheel rotated?
Although a very important job, new diff oil provides zero performance benefits.
Great video my dude
🙏🏽
Bought mine 535i about tow months ago.. your Channel is my heaven 😅
😂 Thanks for your support!!!
@JohnsonMotorsports why did you have to remove those caps so slowly? Is it because of the tension they’re under? Sorry if this was already asked, I didn’t see this question, specifically.
Yes, because of the tension and to back the shaft out straight back.
@@JohnsonMotorsports sorry, man. I asked this before I finished the video. I saw why you did it when you reinstalled the shaft. Thanks for answering my premature question though! 😅🙌🏼
@SPADED707ish No worries.
How have the lights held up? Have they had a moisture get inside have any of the lights went out?
The light have been perfect. Not a single issue, however do keep in mind, my car lives in the garage and see‘s limited miles. I think it has sat outside overnight twice in the last 2 years.
Question about the lug studs can I get the spacers and lug studs without having to do the modification you did to your hub? If so, I’m just gonna buy both like you did.!
what did you do to get the car to sound like that
That was with a catless downpipe and electric cutouts right before the mufflers. Cutouts were open there.
Nice video I'm doin one on a x35i in the morning and in my 535 I next week with head gasket leakage.
Nice! Let me know how it goes.
I have a 2014 535 m sport. Will a 12mm in the front and 15mm in the back be ok? Don’t want too much tire poke in the front. I see many do 10mm. Making sure I shouldn’t go with 10mm instead of 12mm for the front with stock m style rims.
Honestly, you will want to test fit to make sure. My wheels were aftermarket so the offset was different.
On mall, you can add cars. On misfire test, warm the engine and check misfires. Erase the codes and recheck. Normal is 0. See what they have in common. Ebay has a OTC breakout box to check the computer.
Nice video! I do need to ask why you removed the minimum stop, only to put it back after rotating the shaft to the required removal position? It didn't appear to interfere with the operation, but then again, I may have missed something. Any clarity is appreciated. Awesome presentation!
From what I recall you have to remove the minimum stop so that the shaft will rotate far enough to remove the Valvetronic motor.
Grant, I need your help, bro. I have 2011 bmw 528i n52 it drives and shifts perfectly fine, I did the service for transmission a year ago. recently, I have a problem it shifts to the neutral while I'm driving and something the engine will turn off. What do you think, Grant, what's the problem
Do you have any codes?
@@JohnsonMotorsports no it doesn't show no code, except Dsc
great informative video. just what i needed to try to tackle this myself
Glad the video helped.
I want to get a reel mower! Can I use an electric reel mower on a hill??
Will this work on manuals?
I’m honestly not sure. You will want to check the Bimmertech website and verify.
Quick question. I just ordered this, but I cannot locate a specification on the length of the backup camera's cable. Do you happen to know how long it is? I'll be mounting mine in a 2008 Tundra CrewMax and am just hoping the cable is long enough. I suppose I could buy an extra length of cabling to connect to it, but was hoping I didn't have to go buy MORE stuff. LOL Thanks for the great video.
Good video Grant!
Hay man. Have not been able to find seal and sleeves for 8HP. Have you replaced them?
Did you check the link in the video description?
Hi do you need to code it
Nope coding wasn’t needed.
How can I stop the recording? The camera always start recordings after power on the device
How did you code it?
It doesn’t need coding.
Are you running fbo e50 with stock fuelling??
At that time I had a walbro 450 lpfp, for extra fueling. Now I’m pretty far beyond that.
How is this worth it? You didn’t even show us any grass being cut.
Nice and sleek! I like it!
Thanks 🙏🏽
Its actually pretty good quality. I need to invest in a dash cam soon, my f10 had one specially for insurance purposes.
Yeah, I really like it and need to pick up one for the f10 as well.
Thanks for video. So is plug and play this. You didn’t cut any cable?
This does take quite a bit of wiring, due to the door harnesses.
@@JohnsonMotorsports Thank you very much for your reply. I was just curious if you had to cut any cables and make the connections or just What you show in video when you connect them . Thanks again
@@AndreiAndrei-je7wi I am pretty sure I showed all wiring and connections in the video.
Wish they had these for f11!
That would look awesome on a f11.
What is your lowered on
I’m on BC coilovers.
What size are your exhaust tips?
This is what I bought. Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $90.00 | 2PCS H Style Dual Glossy Carbon Fiber Stainless Steel Burnt Blue Exhaust Pipe Universal Auto Tip Double Muffler Tip a.aliexpress.com/_mMdhUEY
Interesting, my F11 LCI touring/estate 2015 doesnt have the acrlic in the door panel or led plastic housing.
Do I need to get new bolts for this and can I reuse them?
I’m not sure what is recommended. I reused my bolts.
Which app you use for the gauges on your Android head unit please sir?
can it reset transfer case adaptations after fluid change?
Was wondering that as well
I would have to check, however from what I am told it would not be recommended to reset adaptations on the transmission. Only if you are replacing the transmission.
Can you update the car with ista?
Can you also do that but with a regular obd module?
I’m honestly not sure, I’ve never tried.
Do not use Heater hose for this, it well just swell up with oil, its not made for oil. Use a fuel line NBR hose or a fuel line CPE hose.
What screen is that?
It’s an aftermarket Android Headunit. Purchased from RVG Performance.
I know it’s been a while bro but which coolant do you suggest to use? Or what do you use? Is peak good?
I believe I used the European Peak coolant.
@@JohnsonMotorsports also, I don’t have any visual cracks on the reservoir but last night the gauge reached 250 so I opened the hood and saw coolant leaking from the reservoir could that be the reservoir being bad or can that be the thermostat not working which is building pressure which causes it to leak from the reservoir? I wish I can send you the video to show you what I’m talking about.
Really could be either. Do you have MHD? If so I would switch to Race cooling and see if the thermostat responds and keeps the cars temps down.
Hows this holding up a year later?
It’s been great, however I just realized I need to replace all my bearings.
@@JohnsonMotorsports makes sense. I'm looking to get a used McLane and do the same
I'm enjoying your videos bra. did this solve the vibration?
Nope. 😆 My vibration issues were solved replacing a wheel bearing.
Would you recommend this or the more expensive VSRF FMIC ? Also are the results the same could I still go stage 2 either or ? Thanks anyone
Any idea how to get rid of the static sound or distortion when using aux
Typically you will need to make sure you have a solid connection. Then I will set the volume on my phone around 90% and leave it there. Adjust system volume from the Headunit, not your phone. That’s what works for me.
Really useful video and well explained, thank you! On a side note I’ve been struggling to get a solid version of ISTA installed for a while, could anyone point me in the correct direction please?
Where have you been looking? I found my version of Ista on Bimmerfest, however that was almost 4 years ago.
I think its really cool these company's make things to modernize older vehicles. Good review btw, keep it up Grant!
Looks really nice especially since the option for CarPlay in these type of cars is pretty limited and overpriced
Yeah, and it’s such an easy install!
Thanks for sharing ❤
Hey I’m going from a 90 ah battery to a 92 ah battery. I’m in a 2008 528xi. I don’t see the option for 92 or the option to put in a custom value like I see on your screen, what do I do?
Did you find a solution?
