As an owner of a high mileage base R56 I’ll testify these engines are fantastic (when they aren’t broken) they Rev extremely high make great power and especially paired with the 6 speed manual with its super short gearing they are FAST but they are beyond stubborn they need lots of TLC to stay happy and healthy it all depends on how much money you’re willing to spend on how much maintenance you’re comfortable with doing yourself frequent oil changes top offs and (93 octane) are going to be your best friends with these cars I like to use injector and emissions cleaner every couple thousand miles just to stay as safe as possible I love my R56 it’s a total blast handles like a dream and has an amazing sound thanks to a simple $100 exhaust mod but I’m very scared of that timing chain

I can't stand all of the computer bullshit rather have a freaking horse now would be truly green! To me, it's unbelievable. How can a car catch on fire that has no fluid in it ?

Auto start stop, I shut the thing off because it's disconcerting having a vehicle come to life after a stop. I don't buy a vehicle to get from one place to another, meaning I'm into my vehicles handling, sound and other performances, and as it moves, I look for certain things to occur at certain times. I notice things like restarting when it's not in my list of what should be happening at certain times, and it startles me in a light sense.

@ If you are interested here’s what happens. On a long all highway, high speed trip I was unable to fine any difference at all. In a city trip with lots of stop and go the difference can be huge. On the exact same trips, repeated over several months the system saved me 26% with it on.

Number 5: The rubbers of the filter housing are the same material as the rubber of the filter washer, so whenever the filter is changed, the rubber with the filter must also be changed. This means that the lifetime of the rubbers of the housing is the same as the filter washer. So, in my opinion, the housing should also be added a normal gasket with the rubbers. Do you agree?
@MikeMDs10 күн бұрын
I agree. Though it is hard to get to. Back in the days things like this were easily serviceable. Part of the problem is the housing is plastic.

Bravo, Mike! Hair looks great, bro 👍🏼 ?: Can you expect a code prior to the electric water pump failing or could it fail without symptoms? Also, can ISTA+ perform the bleeding procedure or it needs to be initiated manually as you showed in the video? My E82 coupè has low mileage 85k km/50k+ miles) I’ve owned since new and the electrical water pump failing is something I think about. No codes to date or anything to indicate a problem. Funnily enough, I’ve had the coolant changed by bmw a few times as a preventative measure. They tell me I’m the only person that ever asks for that service! 🤷🏻♂️
@MikeMDs12 күн бұрын
Thanks! They usually fault before failing. I've seen many times the pump throwing a code without any issues. I've never tried bleeding using ista. It might have a test plan for it.
