what is your instagram account?

Where is the torque needed for proper tightening?

I found water on on my passanger carpet last week. First thing i did when i had some spare time was to search for M tech Guy and wet carpet. Perfect timing with this video hehe

Im looking into the 330i touring for my first car

Thanks man !

Had the same issue on mine, passenger door one was completely cut up and whoever did it didn't even bother taping it up. Just went to Pick-A-Part on Friday and figured I'd be save and get all 4. Only charged me $5 for the whole set. There's plenty of cars there where the door cards have never been off so easy to find vapour barriers in perfect condition. I took my time with a plastic pick tool peeling off all the butyl from the door and leaving it attached to the barrier so I could reuse as much of it as possible. Have only redone one so far, using a heat gun to make the butyl soft and sticky as I went along, seems to have made a perfect seal. I've no idea where to get new butyl tape but reusing the old stuff with a heat gun looks to work great still.

Well done finding the issue. I would have given up!

Im always looking forward to your new video's. Much appreciatie the time and effort you put into those video's. I hope you do more on the M5 V10 also. I have one currently with a worn clutch SMG. Would you do that yourself on axle stands? With the kidest regards.

my m5 had 5 inches in the rear footwells , blocked sunroof drains and replaced the sunroof gasket now shes bone dry :)

Unlucky to come across that problem as the car is in such good condition and has been very well looked after. Looking forward to seeing the repair as it looks like a bit of a chore. Having used butyl to reseal headlamps in the past I know what a pain it is to work with. I wish you well 👍

Nice video but camera is too closely focused

The sound has no difference. They both like having a wind playing inside. I can't Identify with my e61 also which sensors are not working.

If it’s not notably affecting the oil level between routine changes, I’d probably it worry about oil seepage around gaskets.

Great video, and very timely, I am tidying up my E38 740i Sport that is long overdue for an interior refresh :)

Love your videos M Tech Guy. Just replaced my clutch, pressure plate, slave cylinder, Smg pump and had the SMG wiring repaired as you suggested. A year later I’m getting yellow cog P174C codes. Car still shifts and drives fine and never stumbles but, these codes pop up randomly. Scratching my head for sure. Any ideas?

Hope this helps to keep the channel going. Great video as always.

Sharp mate! Are the aircon bombs any good, often looked at it but never heard anyone say they used one.

Very well done. Looks bloody great.

Excellent job Sir 👍 Looks as clean as anything in a new car showroom now.

Great video, thank you 👍

Lol bro what are you bored? I actually like how my trunk flies open quickly.

How much u put in there? 1Liter?

Whats the service interval on these? Mine was done at 80xxx km now sitting at 175xxxkm. Worth Changing?

I changed My spark plugs 3 months ago and its was completely black and i have missfire and one spark plug is there's oil cover it

So glad I came back to this video once I removed the old arm I was struggling so dam much to get the wheel hub bolt in as the disk had sprung inwards

As a 2001 330i owner just quit bragging about your great buy haha. No winging about transmission fluid change just do it, it's not really lifetime increment! Manual swap it if it goes Tango Uniform. Check if I'm wrong but you did say "the old reach around" ha😂

Would this cause a yellow transmission fault message to come up when the car is switched on on 116i sport auto 2014??

E46 all day. Have a simular shape 2004, 325i I'm finishing up on maintenance work. New pwr steering hoses and rez bottle done. Next is lolly pop bushings, oil pan gasket and finally tires. Runs perfect. Smooth gears. Interior is perfect. So happy to own. It's a peppy fun drive. I don't need the extra 30 hp. It does highway speeds all day long.

That does look like a very tidy car that you’ve picked up, you’ve been very lucky. Definitely need to bin the M badge 🤦‍♂ Why do people do that ? I had a dig at a BMW salesperson about 10 years ago at a car show. The local dealership were there with several cars on display and most of them (although not M cars) were littered with M badges. I told him that I thought BMW were doing a disservice to the M heritage. He wasn’t pleased at all by what I said but I could tell that he knew I was right. Since then they seem to have gotten even worse. Anyway I’m looking forward to the progress on this car and wish you all the best with it 👍

Saw this parked outside BMW the other day. Looking tidy! Good buy

I generally don't trust any cooling system of this vintage in a BMW. If I was doing the thermostat, I'd 100% do the water pump.

Hi, I changed the spark plugs on my 130i today and now its idling very rough. Kind of feels like its misfiring but without any codes. Do you have an idea maybe?

New car MT and fresh new challenges. Keep going man.

Love the wheels on this car. u make me want this car so bad hahaha

Never quit!

Keep the 330i content coming !

Mate, if there was any justice in the world, which there isn’t, you should have been a CZcams millionaire by now! Know this: I would not still be a E60 M5 owner, had it not been for you and your channel! Clouds will clear up in a while, and driving the mint E46 is no disaster. 🙂

Super Video und auch für Nicht-Muttersprachler gut verständlich. vielen Dank!

😂

if you shift a gear up ,the ecu reduce for a second the trottle ? because if not the slow shifting will cos overrevs ?

I’m having high idle issues! When the engine is warm. This seems to have happened after I replaced the battery! Changed from 110ah flooded to 92ah AGM and coded accordingly and then registered new battery! It sits idles for a minute or 2 and then raises, this must be DME triggered! Idle is stable not fluctuating, water temps seem stable as well (they don’t start to rise before high idle is activated) battery voltage seems stable as well! I have also tried reseting adaptations, but doesn’t seem to make any difference. I’ve reinstalled old battery recoded back and makes no difference! Could this be to do with IBS learning new battery! I’m annoyed because she was running so nicely before! I buy her a gift and now she seems pissed off with me 😂 charcoal canister, purge valves, temp sensor, thermostat all relatively new. No related codes! Any suggestions on what/how to test? Thanks

Hi, your videos are very nice and Your content ideas are great. You already have a 10.1K subscriber which is a huge number. But the engagement in your videos is much lower due to which your videos are not going in front of your targeted audience and lose most of viewers and video rank. So, if you want to solve this problem get organic views and subscriptions daily. Then surely organically I can help you. Can I share solutions?

It’s a E46 🤷🏽‍♂️ another car too played out on CZcams as I stated on another video cars like this have been done so much engine maintenance and every video you can think of CZcams won’t push these videos anymore it’s well played out you have many cars others have done over and over and this will crash your channel not improve it this is friendly advise and I really hope you see it like this just every car you are doing what others have done already

Sad thing is people who can fix these cars and know them well don’t want them and the people that don’t know much about them want them and the people that do know about them end up buying a sports car many of us can’t afford and just leaving this car behind when they grow that’s why you views are low aswell as there is no videos circulating on CZcams regarding this car I can tell you this as I don’t get any videos reccomended about E60 M5 ever maybe since the last 2 years but that’s because everyone has had them made the videos grown got the revenue and bought something more expensive and better lucky for some and others not so unless videos about e60 m5 are going well and people are watching them they won’t reccomend yours and the people they are is only a small minority unfortauntely really if you want a car for video bmw e60 m5 is not a good car for that

Can I add it may help you you are doing videos that have been done over and over again on CZcams hence why they don’t do aswell as you would like. With CZcams you have to think out the box and be different and stand out the average person isn’t going to just search how to fix this unless they have that issue also as for ad revenue can I ask maybe you can tell us all how are all these small CZcamsrs and even big CZcamsr affording garages with lifts all these hyper cars on the channels all the time and maintaining a audience for cars people can barely afford I see people buying McLaren , Lamborghini, Porsches and guys with cars like yourself with a E60 M5 gets nowhere I mean a AMG Mercedes gets more views then a E60 M5 I guess it’s just what CZcams like aswell I suppose as they pick what they want the people to watch I know this as I have a friend who’s wife works for CZcams music and tells me how it’s all done they group the videos in a playlist based on what the person behind the screen likes and if that person clicks a playlist about one video then the ones they have selected will be shown next and she is a fan of Porsches so it shows where CZcams is going I suppose 🤷🏽‍♂️ maybe you could try buying a Porsche or some hyper car? Just thinking for you to get you channel going

No such thing! First major repair u will wish u had bought a Corolla or Civic

Interesting. I will have to follow along. I just purchased a somewhat similar car here in the US. It seems like BMW produced a special e46 spec for each market. Mine is a North America only limited edition 2004 330i ZHP. I only just learned the ZHP existed as I was shopping for an e46 330 (looking at any spec). I won't bore you with all of the details (lots of videos on CZcams) but the ZHP is a high performance version w bigger cams, 300 more rpm limit and a bunch of real M mods. Sort of a factory tuner version of the E46. Maybe the only time in history that America got the best version of a BMW. I was lucky enough to find one that just needs a little love and care for a great price. :) One of the interesting things I have found is that many of the trim details that were only available on the e46 ZHP in America are available as options in other countries such as the black shadow line window trim (not cheap), M exterior trim (ZHP has M tec bumpers) and the cube interior trim that only came on ZHPs in America. At any rate, I'm on a budget as well and going through much the same process. I was able to find a cheap slotted rotor and pad kit for $350 US and the biggest expense has been nearly $1000 on tires. (The ZHP comes with 18" staggered wheels w 50's in back.) Good luck with your project. Very sharp car. :)

Your cars are so clean man! I've got a 2004 BMW 330Ci Msport (very low mileage absolute peach my pride and joy) and also a 130k mile 2004 645Ci V8. Greetings from Essex!👍

My 2003 525i has white all over expansion tank and numerous cooling hoses. It overheats roughly twice a month. I top it up with coolant when it over hears and move on with my life. Bought car at 180k have 340k now, it's been like thay since day 1. Should I be concerned about engine failure?
