Great points, especially looking under the hood. My Nieghbor’s probably think our 3 BMW’s are always broken because at least once a week I’m under the hood with a flashlight looking for anything. Spitting coolant, OFHG weeping etc. But, because of that we’ve never been stranded or had a single check engine light come on over the last five years in our E90, F30 and a F80.
I was gonna say just that. One of the differences with BMWs is some of their required maintenance is a real pain to do. Like changing the rod bearings on their high horsepower engines.
Yes totally agree with you Nathan, preventive maintenance is the key. Always going ahead in your maintenance schedule! Since I take care of my cars they run better.
Absolutely right Nathan, never, never put Chinese parts on a BMW. it's sure death, while going down the road, or anywhere else. Don't do it. Great information Nathan. Fan of your channel for many years now..
I have a carport and 10x20 carport canopy for both my BMW’s! I have extra parts and filter on hand! Belts and filters etc. If you have a local wrecking yard that has BMW, your chassis and engines. There are a lot of parts from fuses, body parts, interior parts that can be used to refurbished your BMW’s at a much lower cost! Also a good scan tool goes along way to keep it going strong 24/7/365! Nathan great video, please keep them coming!!!
I knew nothing about BMWs and I bought one E39 2000 and your videos help me out so much car rides and handles like brand new. Maintenance is key. It’s time to do European tune. If you want a new home for M5 let me know. Thanks have a good day👌
I have two e39 540 and 530. Because of Nathan’s videos I was able to keep them going strong with no real problems. Both will out run and are so smooth at 80 to 100 it is so unbelievable! I love my e39’s!!!
1. Change your oil (every 5000 miles max) 2. Do all the maintenance as planned 3. Sit the car inside 4. Wash your car (wax recommended) 5. Do pre-drive inspection (tire, engine oil, and so on) 6. Turn off the radio and listen to the car (don't drive even 1 mile if you suspect problems)
What you say applies to any car. I think the main issue is people who do not understand how to look after an old car. Most cars are already in the crusher before they get to the age of these BMWs. Done correctly running a car from 10 to 20 years old can be less hassle than the first 10 years of its life. I have the records to prove that with some of my cars.
I feel like even if you keep up with the maintenance and issues, like you fix one thing another thing breaks. I had a 07 bmw x3 msport got it with 135000 miles and got rid of it at 340xxx miles love bmw’s but im not mechanically inclined so im giving a biased opinion because i had someone do the work on it which costed more then doing it yourself. Anyways i love how they drive tho. Audi has it’s own way of feeling while driving like its a mix of bmw and mercedes. Bmw has a more of a raw feel when driving, mercedes feels like more comfort when driving. Awesome channel 🤙🏼.
Hi Nathan thanks for the good advice on how to take Care of BMW cars . I have an 528i e39 and I have tried all the Things you have mentioned… you are right in everything! Keep up the good videos👍👍👍
Yes I agree do the preventative maintenance but be careful I changed my oil filter housing gasket on my E60 with the N54, changed oil correct grade with a Mann filter and new BMW cap. This caused Vanos codes and limp mode. Now it has to go to the shop to correct these problems. More cost!!!
Great video. I have a honda Accord v6, I used these same tips, to prevent breakdowns on my cars as well. These tips are for any car in general. Sometimes the manufacturer do have bad designs in the first place though. I realize that people do not take car or are intune with their vehicles. If my honda Accord got neglected it would have broken down also. Take care of your car it will take care of you. Sometimes BMW'S may get a bad reputation unfairly at times. Americans in general don't like maintenance.
Had 14 years with e90, garaged 7 years and out doors last 7 years but moved to very harsh hot summer location and sun annihilated roof and front and rear windshields. My first l water leak issue ever happened this winter , 3 inch of water 💧 pool at passenger front and rear side. 😢. I plan to pull out carpet to dry and bought new rubber seals and flashing tape after replacing 2 rear window regulators . Annoying job. I will be selling this car this summer but I’ve been saying that for last 7 years and can’t let it go.😅
Nathan, I love you channel, but changing oil every 3000-5000 is crazy. My 2005 530I is at 390,000 miles and I change the oil at 15,000 miles from new. disclaimer here, I mainly drive long distance on the interstate. But it has been the most dependable and cheapest car I've ever owned. If you ever want me to shoot some IPhone vid of my car let me know. It's a amazing car. My wife's X3 I changed at 10,000 we sold last year with 230,000 miles. She has a newer one now.
Everything stated is correct. I own 2 e46 M3 vehicles, coupe and vert both 06 as well as a f10 n63 Ahhh! They all are maintained by me and EuroMpire for very technical maintenance items and tuning. Put it this way a knowledgeable owner and technician is worth all the money in the 🌎 if you want a bmw to last even down to considering interior Temps on summer days. When I went to do both s54s valve adjustments and swap over vanos units to besian cryo hubs etc.. I was informed about timing guide issues and chain also possibly contacting the oil pump .... so addressed that as well. The shop had 3 examples of s54 engines where chain had rubbed against the oil pump causing well what do you think happens with aluminum shavings in a 8k rpm environment..... now for the dreaded n63 ... wrapping all my turbo piping as well as a blanket, modified T for the returns on the turbos and a few other things to stop that engine from self destuction ..... all my cars are on a 3k interval for oil..... FYI I use liqimoly 5w30 with the dye check in the n63 and put her on a lift because of well..... yeah. Still love that car. I adore all my cars equally. Thank you Nathan for all of your time, experience and willingness to pass that on to others. M POWER. 😎
Change the timing chain tensioner every 30K. Diff fluid 30k. Tranny fluid 30K. Oil changes 3K. Coolant every other year. Any part classified unsprung weight replaced every 100K...
I also want to say this to all BMW owners if you care.... PLEASE 🙏 buy OE parts and check fluid specs. This doesnt have to be from the stealership. Bare minimum ladies and gentlemen, FCP euro or another supplier who can get actual OE parts. You'll thank yourself. 😎
brembo pads dont have the bite of bmw pads and alot of dust. akebono has less bite and very low dust. textar makes the pads for bmw. im going to give those a shot. should be the same exact thing as bmw pads. i like being able to stop fast so ill just do ceramic coating on the wheels and wash weekly
Good points Nathan. The best one is don’t buy a European car unless you gave a shit ton of money and don’t care or you can work on it yourself. Or buy new and trade early 😁
Hey Nathan, can you help diagnose a strange whine/howling noise when accelerating and letting off the gas. My vehicle is a 03 E39 530i. If you have any tips on what I could be I'd appreciate it. Thanks and Great content, love the bmw vids
I would , i have an indy mechanic where i live and my e90 was at 140k miles, he recommended to change around 100k miles. I would say now is a perfect time .
Yes, absolutely change it at 85k. You should always change if it's still functioning well. Once it's starts slipping or having issues, then it's too late for a fluid change to prevent any damage.
My radiator failed at 100k, E36, the PLASTIC inlet decayed and the upper hose would fly off under acceleration with no lip to hold the hose on. All aluminum radiator?, only $100.
You might call me stupid but I do a oil change on my e90 every 1,000 miles that’s every 4 months because I don’t really use my e90 but I rather spend $70 in oil then spend couple thousand in a engine
Some Mercedes-Benz and Audi models also have the water on ecu. Even Ford Transits have the same exact failures. Water on ecu=complete failure. Don’t leave your Mercedes-Benz or Audi outside either. I wouldn’t even leave a full size Ford Transit outside unless it’s too big to fit. If water is in your airbox do not start the car. I heard that the European Fords are crap. The Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique shown Americans how bad European designed Fords really are. European GMs like Opel and Vauxhall are really really bad too and that’s one of the reasons why they left Europe for mass production cars. GM only sells specialty cars like the Corvette in Europe now and that’s because there’s a certain market for sports cars in Europe. Chryslers and Jeeps in Europe look exactly the same that is in the USA with minor differences and they always have a ton of issues.
I just bought a 2013 128i with 40k mi. and when I release the accelerator pedal I hear a slight hiss sound. Like if you’re opening a soft drink bottle hiss. What could that be?
It may be the exhaust baffle opening and closing, mine literally sounds like u just cracked a can of sofa. I rev match upon down shift ,6spd, and finally figured out what it was. There's a trick to lock the baffle open so exhaust comes out both tips all the time. Same car 09. It's a blast right!
Thanks for the videos I really enjoy watching! I have a question, I have a BMW 2013 550 I GT with Xdrive and 64,000 km on the vehicle. I don’t have any error codes or issues. But I am wondering what preventative stuff I should do so that I don’t have any issues moving forward and considering it’s a 2013
Do oil changes on the engine every 5k miles with full synthetic oil (don't trust the service counter on the iDrive). Service the transfer case oil and make sure the tires are rotated and wearing out evenly. Believe it or not tires can destroy the Xdrive transfer case.
06 525i (been driving it x 16 yrs); starter failed @ 65k (miles)water pump @ 82k. Try to be proactive on starter, water pump, accessory belt, anything coolant related, things that will leave you DOA. When I began to feel minor jitters in the steering wheel, slapped on new motor mounts @ 94k - problem gone. Nathan’s correct: gotta listen to the car.
Former pre millennium BMW mechanic here. Stop driving it immediately. Change all the fluids, being sure to fill up the gas tank with non ethanol gas, put the car up on jack stands or blocks, disconnect the battery and connect that to a good pulse charger. That way, when your beater breaks down, you can be sure your BMW will start and run. For how long is anyone's guess. Another option would be to get a good E28, E30, or maybe even an E36.
Hey Nathan, I just bought a 2000 E39 (M52tu20 engine). There's milkshake gloop inside the oil cap area, and saw some down both sides after disconnecting the pcv tubing. When lifting the oil filter the oil seems okay. Is it more likely to be innocuous? Or is it an issue to see a fair bit of milkshake gunk in the pcv tube, as it comes out of the valve head area?
@@greenman7612 The vent tubes all seem very new, they appear to have been changed fairly recently. I'll look into taking apart the CCV connections. Thanks
Hey Nathan my 2001 BMW 740il has been sitting in the garage since December of 2015 the same oil is in the engine by I have not started it in 6 years on 4 flat tires that I plan on working on it this weekend it's the M62 engine.
Can't agree more. I also had an Audi A4 and drove it 550.000kms without ANY issue. Owned 5x 3-series and now an E39 from 2002 and it's just shit. Looks amazing, drives amazing, but material and mechnical design is so bad. It's from 2002 but requires oldtimer treatment. It's now near perfect but the time, effort and money it takes is just stupid.
The whole garage thing is stupid. I don't have a garage and don't have the money to build one. But that doesn't mean I'm going to sell my 330ci or my 740il and start driving something else. #@&% you Nathan if that's what you think. There is a thing called a car cover. Just sayin

Great advice. BMWs are not a ford or a chevy. And, you can't treat them like a toyota.
Thats is true and thanks for watching and commenting all the time
Again some solid advice, thanks for keeping us informed Nathan
Good Advice any bmw owner should know
You can't change your fluids too much or do much maintenance.
This reminds me I need to stop slacking on my 91 Chevy S10. 🔧
Helped keep my e92 running great cant thank you enough!

Cool vid. Do you think it’s safe to change the transmission fluid and filter at 85k miles on an e92? It’s never been changed.
I would , i have an indy mechanic where i live and my e90 was at 140k miles, he recommended to change around 100k miles. I would say now is a perfect time .
Yes, absolutely change it at 85k. You should always change if it's still functioning well. Once it's starts slipping or having issues, then it's too late for a fluid change to prevent any damage.
Oil change under 5K, filters at 2.5K, all synthetic 5/30
Good Camera work after all.
I love your videos!
If you didn’t know that before buying a BMW then your wallet will know real quick. These aren’t Honda’s boys . These are real cars that need love .
Wallet emptied real fast lol

How can you live with your BMW wheel center cap not being perpendicular to your M badges? :)
