Thank you - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I just have to say that this IS the best video tutorial on starter replacement. Most people talk too much or they show the end result first and they try to explain how they did it which is garbage. Thank you for taking the time to explain and show how to properly do everything to replace this difficult piece, I highly appreciate it. 👍
Thank you for your feedback, happy to help👍
Literally did everything you mentioned of "chasing ghosts" lol I'll swap mine out today and see what happens. 👍🏻
I just replaced the starter motor on my BMW 323i thanks to your comprehensive tutorial! Keep up the great work man.
I had no issues at all and the car started perfectly! Tip to others: don't drop any studs/nuts while working in the engine bay!
Happy to help👍
I used your older video last year when my starter went out; It was the best video. My car started to crank slow, until one day it just wouldn't crank at all.
This isn't a "hard" DIY, just time consuming and tedious.
I used the Bosch and a year later it is still holding up strong.
Happy to help🙌
You are a rockstar!!! My car had a few slow starts and one day just did not start. I watched your video and followed along and boom, it’s running. Thank you!
Thank you, happy to help👍
bro im amazed you did the job and stopping to explain and it took you under 30 minutes, last winter mine died and was close to -40 no way I was working on it, but shop took it in after a $200 tow, and they charged me 2.9 hours labor $375 and $400 for oem starter, these crooks man. good job though bro appreciate your vids. Thinking to tackle the VCG this spring with your video.
They always do that. They LIE. they know it's not going to take over 2 hours. I would have done this in an hour. I've worked on my E90.
He is great about describing the work step by step and using “basic” tools most of us already own.
@@flexiblestrategist9922 Yah thats what I thought, because when I went back to pickup the car, the person working on it or whoever unplugged my dashcam, I was hoping to see some footage lol. Money grabbing crooks.. and thats awesome man, best way to do it right and save money 👍🏼
@@jasonmunger8409 I agree, Tim's the man 👍🏼
I just changed my starter from this video and it was very efficient. Your explanation and video quality is great!
Took me about 5 hours to complete!
Good job, happy to help👍
Loved the tool layout out front! I haven’t been working on my e90 for very long and am still collecting various tools for the different jobs I’m running into.
🙌
Thanks! You helped me through replacing my starter
🙌
I used your video to replace my starter... THANK YOU!
Happy to help🙌
Thank you so much, doing this job on my e92 over the weekend!
Happy to help👍
Great work Tim
Thank you🙌
Hi there I am busy doing my BMW E90 starter self ...I am following everything you say
Pay close attention to all the details and good luck👍
Gracias Zeiten for sharing your knowledge...
Happy to help, thanks for watching 🙌
Tim , thank you for the starter diy. You did one for the X5 N52 , a few years back. You are really very thorough and go over step to step.
It is very different for N55/X5 2011. ? Would appreciate if you could do diy.
Thank you, in principle it’s exactly the same, the difference would be in starter bolts you’ll need a e10 wrench to take them out (special tool) the sockets don’t really fit in there. I’ll make one as soon as opportunity arises👍
A little shorter bc there is video cuts. Didn't see all those little screws on the bottom that go back in
Hi, can you replace the starter from the bottom of the car E90 320d N47
So you're not to worried about torqueing it back to spec? Just goodentight?
Congratulations for your channel
Great tips to diagnose it, as possible OEM always for electric and electronics.
Continuing with electric, you could for next videos make an EPS electric power steering replacement, I think there is no need for software.

Packed tight in there as usual 😂
🤷♂️😁
How do you go about taking off the e14 bolt in the back of the starter if the bolt head is stripped?
Depends on how bad is it, i’ve dealt with a few of those, it can be accessed from the bottom. Usually i hammer socket in and it does the job
Damn bro it's been awhile😂, still waiting on the z-man t-shirts and stuff
Zeiten shirt has been available for a bit i’ll check if it is still for sale😁 welcome back😉
Im in the process of replacing my starter...i reset the cpu cleared codes on the car...my car did not want to start...24 hrs later i tried one more time to start it, to .move it sp i can work on the starter...is this possible...?.can it be something else?
I can't find the video you made of the x5 intake manifold replacement.... please help ...
There isn’t one, you can check the link in description for x5 starter replacement and use it as reference for intake manifold replacement
Hi Tim, great detailed video as always Sir. professional at work!! 100 percent Question, i know i do not have any problem with my 2013 x5 n55 (knock on wood for good luck) as to any starter but if and whenever i do have an issue someday in the future, what brand do you recommend to use??, the best brand here you say is Bosch,and Valeo, is this the best for 2013 x5 N55 3.0 litre ty sir! nice to see you staying active and posting great detailed videos as always!! 100--100
Thank you and yes i’d say stick with Bosch well known and established manufacturer supplying consistently good parts
@@Zeiten ,thanking you for your prompt response!! ty sir, Stay safe ( lots of snow in NL Canada now still lolo ty
@battlehrfred thank you, don’t break your car😁
Can speed sensors cause the electrical components to have issue's
Highly doubt it
Mine just stopped working one day. No nothing at all..no noise, no nothing. Got me stranded. LOL
Bruh me too literally last week
Bro me right now lol
Can I use any ATF fluid on my BMW x5 2008 3.0si e70 without adaptive drive
No, zf for transmission
@@Zeiten I'm not sure what fluid my BMW has, it looks very dark brown on the cap it says ATF fluid but below where it says ATF it also says chf11s so I'm a little confused
@armandohilario use chf 11s fluid, you can find it in any autoparts store
@@Zeiten It doesn't matter that the system does not have active drive?
@armandohilario no
bro I need you to come over my house Pronto,, my 328 is whistling something dangerous
Sure as long as you are in LA, reach out
Im not sure why but im getting 3 codes p0123 p0222 and p1417
Check your throttle body connection
Ok thanks ill check
@@Zeiten it was the connector
@VIS202 very common for people to forget to plug it in👍
@Zeiten really appreciate your help and response. If it wasn't for your video, I wouldn't have even tried to change it myself.
Why didn't you just go from underneath I have no idea. This is definitely not the fastest way bro. Damn. Only 1 dust cover to unclip from underneath. And hellooo there's your starter motor lol.

Do you think I could do it that way shit would be so much easier
Is there no need to disconnect the battery? I assumed the + was live when I replaced mine 🎉
You can do the job without disconnecting the battery, just have to be careful that’s all, on many bmws people fry frm module when disconnecting the battery, so i’d say you better off leaving it all connected
Great job! Thanks!
