In this video we tackle the teardown on my #salvage #bmw #x3m by pulling out the engine and complete subframe including all the suspension too. Although we have a nasty surprise when pulling apart the oil filter finding a less than desirable amount of metal fragments.

Thanks everyone so much for watching, I'm going to need all your support throughout this build as it keeps getting more and more expensive the more we dig into it! Don't forget to use discount code 'chris' when using carVertical with the following link :) www.carvertical.com/gb/landing/no-vin-precheck?a=ChrisSlix&b=38b26e3a&voucher=chris

@@Chris_Slix if the rod bearings are done then they will at least need a good check over and probably new bearings so whilst they are apart would make sense to do something better on them.

@christiaanmostert3167 8 месяцев назад

Just a note on the magnets... If the shavings in the oil are aluminum, which it is in most cases, the magnet isn't a good indication of the oil condition. The residue in the oil could just be from the oil cooler bits collecting in the oil filter or worst case scenario some bearing material. Hoping it's nothing serious🤞 Looking forward to seeing the car up and running again 🔥

Put the magnets in a glove next time and then if you get metal on them, you can remove the magnets from the glove and the metal won't be stuck to the magnet. So you can reuse them.

@kosminislaivas2023 8 месяцев назад

The new power steering rack motor (EPS) would need coding and it may still not work and show fault since the outer motor gear that drives the steering rack's belt can differ in diameter and teeth number depending on the year of manufacturing. I made this mistake when repairing my f10 and had to change 3 EPS motors in a row since they were just different but looked the same, the power steering did not work and it did not calibrate through diagnostic soft. Good luck!

@chrisanslow 8 месяцев назад

Love the videos and you’re definitely a brave man taking on such a project. One thing I noticed was when you were checking the oil filter you were looking for magnetic material. The outer coating on the crank bearings isn’t magnetic, so hopefully when you check it over later they are still in good shape. Any wear on the bearings would be more obvious in the oil itself. Fingers crossed all is good though.

@altortosa5955 8 месяцев назад

exctly...and if you end the oil off for an analysis, they can spot problems, before they cause damage

@ZEODE 8 месяцев назад

Just had to have a new turbo on my car (not a X3M, but same principal), found out that actuator on modern turbos alters the variable turbine geometry within the turbo rather than a waste gate in less modern turbos. If this is damaged it means a whole new or remanufactured turbo apparently, because they are calibrated for the actuator fitted at the time of manufacturing. If you just replaced this it wont run right and could cause engine damage.

@jackfisher697 8 месяцев назад
