I Bought an X5 Diesel With 450K KMS - Bad Engine? Let's Diagnose It!

Well, I did it again. I ended up buying another vehicle I REALLY did not need, at least it's another BMW!
This one in particular is a 2011 BMW X5 with the legendary M57 diesel engine. I know what you're thinking, diesel? really!? Truth be told, if I had to pick ONE single vehicle to drive the rest of my life, it would be a fully deleted e70 X5 diesel.
This one has some goodies and a laundry list of maintenance that has already been done along side a full delete and tune, the transmission does not have an xHP flash though, yet..... not yet....
Stay tuned and see if we got an amazing deal, or another lemon!
(I'm starting to dislike lemons)

What a fun platform to have, seriously. I've had mine for over 150,000km now at 350,000km. Full delete, stage 2.9. Other than some annoying water damage on injector 6, i've had no problem at all with it. Ended up with a little custom metal plate right above cyl 5, 6 to move water away from there. Problem free for the past 3 years.

they're really that good! if I had to pick just one vehicle to have the rest of my life, it would be a deleted x5 diesel.

Great educational video! Unfortunately those piezo(ish) injectors are quite pricey new (I think something like 600CAD for bosch by the time its at your door) and hard to come by used as everyone just snaps off the return lines when servicing them... but at least its not an engine! Excited for the next video!

@tony.nextlevelrides 3 месяца назад

thanks!! hoping it's just an injector! so far, so good!

@thataveragedude5 3 месяца назад

I hope you put the clip back onto the new fuel filter, also that starter sounds very weak. I would just swap cylinder 6 injector with a Bosch reman on rock auto, then replace the rain tray/cowls with the newer ones. Water getting into the cylinder 6 injector and destroying it is a very common issue.

@tony.nextlevelrides 3 месяца назад

unfortunately rock auto doesn't have any. however, we did source a new one for a good price!

@jaspervanherden3274 3 месяца назад

What a great video, and good explaining. Does this x5 still has the original turbo and gearbox?

@tony.nextlevelrides 3 месяца назад

it does have the original gearbox, seems like the turbos were replaced at least once.

Nice video! Just FYI - SoH of battery= State-of-Health. It sounds you need a new starter motor (or rebuilt) as it was cranking way too slow. Do NOT 100% rely on ISTA and the smoothness test to tell you which cylinder/injector is wrong. The issue with injector does not "clear up" itself. It is due to higher RPM where the smoothness gets better just because of engine speed, so the "corrections" which DDE needs to apply to each injector are not that high per injector. I'd start by swapping out the injectors just to ensure the issue follows, then remove them all and get them cleaned. Make sure you note which one comes from which cylinder (they are coded to the DDE). Once all are out, I'd perform a cylinder compression test as well, just to know if there is potentially lower compression. BTW, at this mileage I'd change the chain.

@tony.nextlevelrides 3 месяца назад

thanks!! yeah, I had a brain dead moment think if what SOH stood for, was a long day huffing diesel. I agree, it's one of two issues, injector or compression. with the tests I did and lack of smoke, I'm more confident it's NOT a compression issue but it's possible a bent valve or perhaps the swirl flaps failed (not common on US vehicles but it does have 446k). ill take the manifold off and swap injectors OR order a reman for testing in the meantime. we've got enough of these around within the friend group that having a good injector on hand if someone needs it is a piece of mind. thanks for your help and comment! cross your fingers for us!

tempting. or M57 swap my 135i. 🤔

@piovo5222 I wish! it'll come. eventually. :)

@Davedat335i 3 месяца назад

Had worked on my friends M57 X5, same ol cyl 6 injector, i recommended getting a pneumatic slide hammer to remove the injector. The carbon buildup is crazy nearly impossible to remove those injectors and worst case is replacing the head.

@tony.nextlevelrides 3 месяца назад

oh wow, that's bad. same symptoms and readings for yours? I did buy the proper slide hammer but worried it's going to be stuck really bad in the head. maybe need a pneumatic one.

@Davedat335i 3 месяца назад

@@tony.nextlevelrides The previous owner recommended him to change it, we did it as a precaution, as you said in the video the cowl and the gasket when cracked lets water seeps but also onto the engine and is notorious to puddle onto cyl 6 destroying the injector. We tried with a slide hammer as well, but we had to send it to a local shop Highline Motorsport to get the job done.

@dariusGarage 3 месяца назад

My injectors played nicely with a slide hammer even though my cowl was broken and there was some moisture in the injector area. Case by case scenario@@Davedat335i

@kkarnis3791 3 месяца назад

You'll need to pull the intake to do swirl flap delete. Should do egr delete at the same time so you dont get more carbon build up. Diesel injectors are cheap to get cleaned. If it was original fuel filter all injectors probably need to be cleaned. Because youre in cold climate would need to make sure glow plugs and glow plug module are ok as well. These engines can do a million kms, its the trans and turbos that'll wear out first.

@tony.nextlevelrides 3 месяца назад

absolutely, I'm going to do the I take manifold cleaning, swirl flap delete, etc. and go from there. if this solves the issues, it's maintenance next up!

@BMWBAS 27 дней назад

Replace your rain trays also. Or you’ll be changing injector number 5 and 6 ago.

@tony.nextlevelrides 25 дней назад

we've got a brand new one ok the donor vehicle!

@y22dtr1 3 месяца назад

take out the intake,it might be a swirl flap in the chambers,broken.

@tony.nextlevelrides 3 месяца назад

that's what I was thinking, especially if the motor is forcing them open or closed while having carbon buildup.

@liamtree1250 3 месяца назад

They use piezo injectors so they cant be refurbed unfortunately like solenoid type. The injector is probably leaking. Would be a good idea to see if the injector on 6 is leaking

@tony.nextlevelrides 3 месяца назад

will do, reman injector on its way!

Sorry guys but you need to consult some specialists - you dont understand diesels engine at all. 6 cilinder does not work almost at all. By diagnostic you see cilinder 6 have lost efficiency if number is above 0

@tony.nextlevelrides 3 месяца назад

ok, can you explain what we did wrong and what the issue would be? it sounds like you know more than I do so I'd like to know.
