Great video but you might think about people without perfect hearing. The music is not helpful!
Love your videos.... watching since the start. And you've slowed down abit so even I can understand🙄... again excellent content and hello from Tipperary😊
People delete the emissions to prevent reliability issues, not because they "can't afford to run a diesel".
I just have done a second bmw recall for the egr cooler. However I have never ever had a single issue with the car for 3 years of ownership. f30 330d 2016 here now around 90k on the clock. Serviced every 10k miles and just had new zf8 oil sump and filter plus new gearbox oil. When serviced properly any car does the job.
Thanks for the vid. Nearly bought one,but now I’ll rethink,m57 is a better option
Really informative, great thanks
Hey doc, Good Video. Can You make a Video about The B57 :D thx
Hi sir,
I do own an f36 435d and i’m wondering what’s the best oil i should use for it ? Thank you sir
I have the N57 in my 335D Xdrive. I have owned the car for two years and have never had a single issue with it. Ok i do have it serviced by BMW. and i do live in the country, so my car is never in stop start traffic. Guess I'm lucky there as i can be doing 60 almost as soon as I set off.
F30 335d?
Hey Buddy, considering buying a X4 30d M sport 2014 plate 80K miles... is this one to avoid for timing chain issues etc? Paranoid now! What would you say?
Great stuff, really helpful info in all your engine related videos as im looking to buy a newer F series f10, f32 or even a older LCI E series e92, e60 or e63 end of the summer, but i havent seen people talk about the s63 engines in depth at all, content on it anytime soon? 🤞
Mustikas97 S63 ? You mean the engine they put into the M5/M6 and X5M ? Bit of a money pit I reckon when it starts getting old.
How u can clean dpf filter or haw to maintain properly to stop blacking, and is any benefit to remove intake flaps.
Hi,my timing chain on 325D N57 was changed when car had 190k kms,car now has 305k kms.Oil changes every 12k kms,do you think timing chain should be replaced again soon?
I love the sound of n57
did they not update the chain guides in 2011 april? They still chocolate?
I found that info on differentcarreviews on youtube
First like then watch 👌
as always mate and I love you for that
sorry if Im miss hearing you... are you saying the m57 or N57 has a timing chain issue. my cars only done 30k miles.... I have the N57.. 2017.. when would advise to change if it is the N57 you are saying?
Hi sir can I ask cause I have a f10 diesel that won't start what so ever and the fuel pressure is not rising up I check the low pressure fuel pump is okay. Can I know what should I check
At what milliage should you change the timing change?
Great video, many thanks. I've got an x3 f25 vith n57 engine, I'm loosing a bit of coolant with an increase of the engine oil, I would appreciate if you could tell me if this fit with your first issue in your video. From the BMW known issue, is it the egr to be replaced or the egr coolant ? With thanks in advance. Alain
@@christopherruddick88 Thank you. The egr cooler has been replaced by bmw thanks to recall programm. For now both issue seems to be finished. I suspect the inside of the cooler was letting the coolling liquid going inside the engine. DPF regens was looking great, so let's see. Thanks again for you answer.
Hello Bmw doctor i am from Kosovo and i have a Mini cooper S R53 2004 but i have a problem with remote key dont lock and unlock the door with remote i test Hold the unlock button and press the Mini logo 3 times, then release the unlock button. If you have additional keys you'd like to program at this time, repeat step 3 within 30 seconds from the original key programming. Turn on the ignition to complete the process. But dosent work i change the battery but again dosent work ..! Please can you help me to solved this problem i watch your videos and you are a realy doctor pleas help
Is the timing chain issue still as common on 2016 model 530d?
Nice vid thanks a lot. Very helpful. Try to lower the music volume on the next videos so we can hear you better. 😉 Cheers
I got my EGR replacement recently under the recall I wouldn’t have problems for the future
Yes you will, sadly. I had my EGR replaced in July 2020 under recall. Took car (640D2016) for service at main stealer July 2021. They rang up, had to replace EGR *valve*. I kicked off & asked why, this was done under recall a year earlier? "Nope, we only did the EGR housing, not the valve. Now the valve is all clogged up and you need a new one." £400 later...I must say, it made a HUGE difference. Engine much smoother and more powerful.
Man that intro song is fire!
I am getting a 2014 or 2015 x5 soon. Should i go n55 or n57?
A lot of diesel's have chain problems. I had a Mazda 3 with a 2.2 engine and a lot of them also had chains snaps. I have a 2016 435d and will service and look after it best I can and hopefully it will hold up. End of the day all cars have problems and a bit of luck is also needed at times.
Help Amazon won't ship forte seal conditioner to my country
would you recommend a b48 (30i) over an n57 (30d) engine bmw when they're priced equally (used)?
So you wouldn't recommend I buy a 150k miler with fsh then?
Apparently BP ultimate has more Cetane than V power Diesel.. lot of the guys on forums swear by it. Personally i use Vpower Diesel as the car seems to like it and is not extortionally priced like BP Ultimate is.. What are your thoughts ?
This guy is so good. I don’t know why many people don’t follow him. Question - I have this engine on 2017 435d. I service every 5k miles and have always ran vpower diesel, I just drive normally and on the odd occasion (once a week) might do 75% throttle pull. Is there much more I can do to prevent the chain from snapping? I was considering egr and Dpf delete - would you advice against that? I do motorway miles but a year ago, my vw golf tdi, the egr failed - even from motorway miles
keep your dpf and egr, just keep servicing every 5k and the egr is a recall with BMW now. so dw the chains arent an issue on the n57's really
@@dipesh2301
I've heard ppl say that timing chains on n57 are thicker & stronger than on n47. Is that true to your knowledge? Or are they just a 'revised' version? Or are they simply identical?
Excellent content, as usual. Thanks Dean. M57 next ??
M57 has been done mate I did that already the video is up here
Cheers bud. Looking forward to the carbon clean video. Keep up the good work.
No problem mate
Hi. You didnt mentoined crankshaft bearings, some service claims its a common issue and its advised to replace them with timing chain at the same time, when the engine is out. What do you think about it?
Is that something that needs doing at 100k mile +
Dean ? Remove the weird back ground music . Put a new smooth one. You are good at delivering the info.✌️
My 430xd from 2017 is taking much longer to reach operating temperature. A year ago it would take 4-5km city drive in comfort mode up to 10min engine run. Now i need to drive 10-14km for the gauge to come to the middle around 20+min in comfort mode.
Service guys want to charge me to test engine cooling system as there are no errors. I suspect one of the thermostats might be lazy and is never fully closed… Appreciate your comments
Hello mate is that when driven at the same external temperature? My car takes the same as yours but it's been like that since I bought it when was 3 years old. I wouldn't be worried too much about it. You have an issue if once it's warmed up the temperature drops/goes up.
Maybe the thermostat has failed open?
Great video there mate...
which petrol engine would you suggest for best reliability then?
Cause as far as I know they suffer from VANOS issues...
M54 and n52 are strong units
Just bought a 325d e93 with the n57 engine on 78k 2011 model have me worried about timming chain issues now came from an m57 530d e60 2005 that never gave me any issues atall in 2 years of ownership on 190k
You truly are a Doctor
I think BMW engines are reliable. It's the other "stuff " that fail. It is probably by design. LOL designed with a short MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure). Some people say it fails because BMW is a performance car and puts a lot of stress on components. Well, what kind of stress is in the windshield washer canister to cause it to leak and the pump to fail after 60k miles. Actually, BMW outsourced many of the components. They don't make the transmission, radiatot, amplifier, or climate control unit, etc. Check out "25 things that will break on your BMW" videos. I still love my e90 335i. Haha
Do the timing chain issues only plague the N57D30 A and B or does it also impact the O and T in the later F15 X5?
Do you have any answer ?
I also want to know this
Wish i saw this before i got my E93 325D
Changed the timing chain, cleaned the intake, stage one, 530, pulls like a f*king ox
I recently bought an X5 E70 (N57) with 90k miles. Its been running smooth as butter lately. I took it to be inspected by a very trustworthy mechanic of mine before purchase. He said its one of the cleanest Bmw's he's ever seen. The guy that owned it before me had the DPF filter removed and did a small computer tune to it. I'm averaging about 21.1mpg in the city. Problem is i'm constantly in the city. I've got a heavy foot and I like to drive fast, but i'm afraid with my daily commutes, it's eventually going to take a toll on it since I don't get on a straightaway much.
My question is: Since the DPF filter has been removed, a computer tune has been done and I use Seafoam in my tank about once every 3 months, do you think I'll have problems down the road?
Any update on your vehicle? I’m interested in purchasing an cpo x5 and doing the same tune to it after the warranty expires to prolong the life of the vehicle
Interesting but in America the E70 X5 xDrive35d only came with the M57. From 2014 the F15 X5 xDrive35d (known as the xDrive30d in Europe) had the N57.
EGR delete?
A couple of b47's here in sweden have had their timing chains fail.
Est la pompe à huile ?
I thought only the early N57’s had timing chain issues from some forum stuff I saw. Do you now if the later ones (2013 onwards) improved the chain reliability?
They did update it mate like the N47 BUT they still had issues aswell the guides were still crap and even up till 2014 people were still having problems
Don’t trust them forum guys sorry to tell you there not experts like me there your average Kwik fit parts fitter guys
Who don’t know there arse from there elbow
That’s why they speak on a forum and don’t have a channel !!! If they knew as much as they stated I’m sure they would be here running a bmw channel
Thanks Dean :) certainly accept whatever you are saying. I heard the N47 vibration worsened the issue of the guides failing vs the N57 is that true?
No mate it’s not the N47 doesn’t really rattle that much mate that’s what they was saying which was causing the bolts to go lose on the guides but it’s all crap it’s the guide itself if they actually thought that mate then it wouldn’t of happened on the N57 fall stop
But it did and N57 doesn’t rattle so it’s all crap mate the guides were faulty and still are typical Chinese crap bmw tried to use here like they do in the USA and failed thank god for the quality control procedure and our laws or we will be like the USA and the issues there having with the N63 with nobody to do anything they just have to deal with having a blown engine and nobody gives a crap
@@BMWDoctor Hi man, thanks for all the info you're putting out there.
I'd love to have one of the problems you mentioned in the video. I bought a used 2013 530d from another city and the engine seized the same day on my way home.
At first I though the owned was hiding something but it was weird the engine was so smooth and silent and ran like a clock. after inspection it was a rod bearings failure.
I gathered some money and bought another engine 2 weeks ago. It was installed 2 days ago and it seized too yesterday with because of main bearing failure...... FUCK ME.
Can you please tell me why the bearings fail out of the blue like this?
I rang Bmw Nottingham they said there not doing any egr recalls until there’s a problem now !
Don’t buy a diesel unless you need it. Have you seen the difference in fuel consumption between the petrol and diesel 2 litres? That’s why people buy a diesel. The 10 year old BMW petrol has urban figures from the year 2000. How is that something you’d want to own?
I thought people removed egr dpf and ad blue systems because they are problematic and restrict power, not because they are trying to save a few bob...
Q1: Doctor, will hard driving stress the timing chain?
Q2: Is there a difference in the different N57 versions of the engine, specifically timing chain? Is there same risk on the timing chain?
Ditto
EGR + DPF delete = FTW
What is ftw?
@@arthurzarinski6271 FOR THE WIN!!
I don't do this in Russia, how is it even possible in UK in any mean? I want to keep my engine stock and clean, without any black smoke etc.
Yes you can. You can delete the DPF/EGR and just have it coded/mapped out.
I was going to say the same thing lol, I've had egr blanked off, swirl flaps deleted and remapped with zero issues.... Plus better MPG
Good video Dean petrol all the way for me mate.
Petrol for me too but I have my diesels also that I love as petrol doesn’t always do it for me
N57 timing chain problems? That is 1 issue i never imagined to be ... hmm
So many people worry about that timing chain. Im always change every 6000 miles oil and oil,cabin,fuel filters! This is the way you keep good condition your timing chain! But after 200000 km you need a big service change timing chain all bearing in the engine and all stuff and after running again 200000km. If you have money to monkey you need money to bananas 🙂😜
how is cabin filter or fuel filter helping the chain?
Well, I disassemble my older M47 engine after 430kkm. Piston rings was worn out but rod bearings was just as new and main bearings got some wear but not even got to copper layer... Timing chain also lasted for 400kkm and was replaced but there was no bad sound of anything else...
Hey mate, at what mileage should i be worried about the timing chain? I'm thinking about buying a 2012 BMW X3 30d (n57) 255hp with 130.000 miles. Can I at least get another 20.000 miles out of it before worrying about the timing chain?
I've just bought one and Coronavirus just moved down my list of concerns.
@@Daniel_Anthony loll
Did you buy it?
Timing chain is very comon problem on n47/57
Hi Dean, thanks for your brilliant content. Im looking at a 94k Miles N57 330d that has had oil changes at these intervals: 13k, 23k, 45k, 63k, 82k, 89k. Would you stay away from this with the timing chain issues etc?
>10k mi between oil changes! 🤯
BMW 535 XD GT 2014 with 235.000 km, fatal engine failure on the crankshaft bearing, engine completely destroyed, 5k euros in reparations. I have this BMW from the beginning and all services made in time, oil & filters changed since 0 km up until today at no more than 10.000 km and still failed catastrophically, and this not the first one hear about, I have friends who also have their engines blown up at similar KM range: 230 to 260 thousand kilometers.
My f10 m550d, which had driven 140,000 km, also had a fatal failure of the crankshaft bearings. BMW durability is very poor. ,The engine oil was also changed at less than 10k km, and the driving was normal.
Hi dean My BMW E61 N47 Sounds like air is escaping from somewhere When I accelerate around 1500-2000Rpm any idea what could cause this?
Turbo charge pipe mate common problem it comes off the turbo under ALOT check it it connects on to the air box make sure it ain’t flapping where it goes back to the turbo
It makes a whistling noise? Mine started doing that recently.
Whistling is turbo veins moving causing the whistle your turbo is what we call as technically KNACKERED time for new turbo
@@BMWDoctor Oh wow.. i didn't want to hear that. Thanks for the reply.
Bryan Chance yes friend sorry I’m the bearer of bad news !! I always am on here
Hey , just crashed my 520d F10 :( , now I am thinking of buying an 530d F10 N57 , Isent the thiming chain problem solved after 2011 ??? Atleast on the n47 it is...
190kw N57N diesel has single or biturbo engine? Someone pls let me know
Single twin scroll
and what about rod bearings ? 😅
This gentleman is a god of BMW.
My bmw 640 diesel, the motor died at 150 000 kms. All services done in the bmw. It was a city car, and the Oil change in bmw service it was change all 30.000 kms Or two years. It was To much kms to not change the oil. Know i change oil all 12000 kms, and i have a new motor. My Bmw is alive again.
An oil change at every 30,000km is suicide! 🤯
@@Scotford_Maconochie
Exactly. 10k km max, keep the engine oil fresh and effective and you won't have chain or bearing issues.
Hey bud..did you find out how much is a vanos solenoid for s85? You are clueless
Great video! I have 435d with 200k kilometers. Oli service every 30k as ASO recommends. Should I be worried about timing chain? Should I replace it?
B57 is a great engine no issues with timing chain change oil every 10k I would suggest DO NOT CHANGE AT 30k that will damage your chain
@@BMWDoctorI think my engine is N57 not B57... I have 313 horse power and two turbines. I have just bought this car with 200k kilometers. Former owner was changing oil as ASO recommendes - every 30k. Now I will be changing every 10k but im not sure what is The conditon of the timing chain after this 200k.. I dont hear any noise. What do You think?
Do ont worry n57s have no timing chain issue
Change your oil every 10kkm
Very informative video. I have a 2016 535d with 39000 miles . I run only on Vpower fuel and change oil castrol edge 5 30 every 5k rather change the oil myself and hopefully steer clear of timing change problems . I have to new Turbos fitted as the previous owner didn't let the engine tick over after a motor way run that was costly £3500
What’s wrong with subtitles
Useful information in the video but it's hard to understand this gentleman's accent -- especially with the unnecessary background music.
DPF is a problem on a lot of makes as I understand. 👍
That’s correct kevin it is indeed that’s why a lot of people remove it but now they can’t
My n57 DOES have adblue!
which engine is best for x3 f25 n57, n55 or n52?
F25 X3 xDrive35i with the N55.
My N57 2018 335d has ad blue?
As does my 2018 N57 engined F16
Glad I watched this as I was looking at an e90 330d with the n57, sod that I'm sticking with the old ironside m57 and I will be stripping all that eco-shit off it so it remains as reliable as my trusty but rusty old e46 was. DPF, Cat, EGR and flaps are all going, manifold deep cleaned finished with a high quality map then it will run as a big six diesel should. Greta can kiss sooty my twins! In all seriousness my e46 30d 204 had all it's greens removed (granted it was a non dpf euro 4) however it ran beautifully with smoke levels FAR lower than before removing them, that said I over-serviced that car religiously with the best parts and oil every 5k and it rewarded me with many years flawless and more importantly near smokeless service. Apart from Mercs OM606 the M57 without all that Euro-mission crap added to it has to be one of the greatest diesel engines ever made.
sounds good,can it be done diy?
Another 10:/10 video don’t even need to watch it tbh I know it’s good content
You know that mate watching it helps tho mate get it to the top
BMW Doctor looool lets me real dean we both know I defo watched it
Egr and dpf delete on diesels and problems solved 👍 Petrol engines has seriously big problems with Vanos and oil consumption. So diesel is more of less thing to think when you own it
How you passing emissions test at MOT?
If you do oil changes every 8000km or 5000mi you will avoid a lot of trouble.
I don't do this in Russia, how is it even possible in UK in any mean? I want to keep my engine stock and clean, without any black smoke etc.
P115D!! Code ... Need help!
dpf regen burns soot not ash.. ash stays in dpf util full .. then ur done mate.. buy new or remove og clean blast.. eitherway petrol is better for city drivin
Yep. I have a 2017 X5 xDrive35i with the N55 gas motor and I use it both for highway and city driving.
2 years ago my timing change on my 2010 525d n57 broke! Cost me big money to remedy.
My advise is get timing chain changed if you buy a used n57.
Dont buy diesel unless you'll be doing motorway driving at least once a week
Al this gloor en doom i have 535d f11 stage 2 egr delete dpf delete zf8 tune 406hp 745nm 212k people delete this stuff because its better for the engine this car cost money to properly maintenance but after that the n57 is e robuust monster if you dont whant to put the money in don't buy this car
BMW has confirmed it is looking into a ‘technical issue’ with its high performance police patrol cars and the way traffic officers drive them during pursuits.
The car manufacturer responded after The Northern Echo exclusively revealed officers in Durham Constabulary have been instructed not to drive the German-made cars over the speed limit.
BMWs are used in road policing
It is understood the force’s fleet of around 30 vehicles is predominantly involved in road policing around the county.

But there have been reports across the country of BMWs fitted with an N57 engine bursting into flames if they go over 90mph.
A whistle-blower with Durham Constabulary said officers were frustrated they had been told not take part in high-speed chases due to safety concerns.
The serving officer said a ‘no pursuit’ policy was in place.
What has BMW said?
A spokesman for BMW said: “We have been working with the police for some time on a technical matter linked to a small number of special high-performance vehicles.
“This issue is associated with the particular way in which the police operate these high-performance vehicles.
“This unique usage profile puts extra strain on some components and therefore BMW has specified a special servicing programme for these vehicles.”
'No need for action on any civilian vehicles'
The spokesman said the problem was not an issue for BWM owners with private motor vehicles.
He said: “There is no need for action on any civilian vehicles.
"This has been a dynamic and developing situation and we continue to work closely with the police.”
Background to BMW's statement - and the implications for policing
The police whistle-blower shared documents from senior officers at Durham Police ordering traffic and firearms officers not to exceed the speed limit in affected BMW vehicles unless there is an immediate threat to life.

Durham Constabulary confirmed a review of its vehicles is underway.
Meanwhile North Durham MP Kevan Jones described the situation as ‘astonishing.’
The directive applies to forces across the country and was implemented after PC Nick Dumphreys died when a BMW police vehicle caught fire during a 999 call in Cumbria in 2020.
Read more: Echo comment: The public needs to know the police have all the tools they need
The whistle-blower said: “The BMWs have an issue where the engines are deemed no longer fit for purpose.
“It’s just frustrating for the cops on the ground.”
hahahah ford test they're cars on supermarket fuel....video was nice and informative until here.
If you buy a ford, everything will break around 80k miles, leaving it good for the scrapper. Especially those 5 cylinder diesels that like to crack the cylinder liners...
