Who the F downvote such an informative video? What's wrong with people? Great job summarizing typical problems. I've dealt with two of these on my manual E92 M3 from 2007; T/A failed and needed replacement. R/B was done preemptive. The rest has not yet shown itself as far as I know and that - in my mind - shows how keeping up with the maintenance can contribute to increased longevity.

I appreciate the kind words! Hopefully the video continues to find people such as yourself who appreciate these kinds of videos, you’re the type of person who I hope they make their way to! 💪🏼

What’s up man, I saw your post from the Facebook group. Nice video on maintenance, hope it reaches a lot of people so they can keep their E9X M3’s in good shape!

The DCT pan bolts might only need to be re-torqued to spec. Discovered mine had a leak and decided to check the torque. Yup, many of the screws and oil drain plug were a bit loose. Tightened them back up, cleaned off all the oil, and checked 2 months later with 1k miles and it's dry.

Thanks for the info! Valve and vanos covers are next on my list. Got just about everything else covered !!

Of course! Those are some of my next mods as well, good luck with the work!

Thanks for the video. With the exception of the rod bearings I would suggest everyone try to DIY the rest. You just need the tools, a guide to follow from online or RU-vid and time. It’s also satisfying knowing you did it yourself and saved a lot of money. Only thing I have left to do is DCT, fuel injectors, ICV and fuel breather.

@Anthony_B 2 месяца назад

Thanks for watching! And I agree, none of it is particularly difficult, and definitely worth keeping these cars on the road longer!

@kurtiscravingbavaria3291 4 месяца назад

Great video! Adding for everyone’s benefit that it’s always worth it to check FCP Euro first for OEM/OEM replacement parts. Their replacement program is much better than Turner, ECS, etc. Looking forward to more vids 👍

@Anthony_B 4 месяца назад

Good note! Definitely awesome if you can take advantage of their program!

Pulleys/belts will need replaced around 100k as well.

@Anthony_B Месяц назад

Good point! Definitely should replace those as well around then, I’ve heard lots of stories of them failing lately on forums/fb groups

@X11CHASE Месяц назад

I’ve spent about 15k on maintenance so far (including labor), 24k if you count things that had to be redone

@Anthony_B Месяц назад

These can be pricey to own, but well worth it!

@Rider_Tom 21 день назад

well that puts me off owning one haha

@Sergy_101 2 месяца назад

Hey! Very informative and helpful video. Good job Man. You can make a video about engine mounts and suspension components + how to check their conditions. As part of E92 aging problems. Thanks and good luck!

@Anthony_B 2 месяца назад

Thank you for checking it out! I’ll have to start planning a follow up video with more common issues!

@tedgreen4626 4 месяца назад

When the throttle actuators fail, it is often the plastic gears. Metal gears are available, and can be considered a preventive maintenance item. A great deal of time and/or money can be saved by doing all of the preventive maintenance items on top of the engine at the same time.

@Anthony_B 4 месяца назад

You are correct, definitely a solid option if you don’t want to simply replace them! Thanks for pointing it out 👍🏼

@camluczi 4 месяца назад

You do not need to remove the throttle actuators when doing the ICV. However, the grey T pipe connecting the ICV and the throttle bodies can be a really stiff and get stuck onto the black rails of the throttle bodies, making it really difficult to remove. Making it easier would be to remove one bank of the TB (driver side). You would also have to remove the secondary air pump and get the wiring harness out of the way. I recently did this, and just cleaned the ICV, there was some carbon build up on the plates. You also have clear access to the starter motor which sits right under the ICV. Removing the driver side TB also gives you relatively easy access to the non-return valve at the back of the block just behind the cylinder head. Mine was gunky but still ok at 150k kms, but I replaced it anyways since I was there and not too expensive.

Oh ok, I appreciate you taking the time to add some knowledge to this video, hopefully whoever watches will read it and have a better idea of what to expect while in there 🤝🏼

@dommerdom 16 дней назад

This video is great. But it did just cost me $5k in parts. :)

@Anthony_B 16 дней назад

Haha gotta do what you gotta do to keep these amazing cars going! 💪🏼

@kid2519 Месяц назад

Luckily, the previous owner took care of the idle control valve. I took care of the rest except the fuel breather valve because I can't take off the hose thing attached. So difficult.

@Anthony_B Месяц назад

You have to brake that clamp off and then use either a generic hose clamp to reattach it, or buy another bmw clamp and the tool to re crimp it, either way, not too bad once you have that first clip apart 👍🏼

@trevorr5175 24 дня назад

hey just about to purchase rod bearings. Going with BE, do you think it is necessary to plasti gauge them? Great video! definitely will be replacing the rest while doing the rod bearings!

@Anthony_B 24 дня назад

Hey! It’s always good practice to make sure your clearances are correct, definitely will add some time to the job but the peace of mind is always worth it! Thanks for watching!
