Will the oil filter cap still close even if ive missed the hole 🤣🤣 I can't see in as I close it so I'm just hoping it went in

Great, looks easy and it’s good to keep on the oil due to the timing chains, just brought a sport tourer and going to do this myself

I’m getting one, but had a question. Is it common for these models to have issues with the trunk’s electronics. One, i’m getting, got it fixed, but it’s the second time i’ve heard of this issue.

While it's true that these have an open diff, BMWs do still try to get some of the effect of an LSD even in their open diff cars by automatically applying the brakes on the wheel that spins up (even with DSC off). It's not perfect and if you took it to a drift event you'd burn through brake pads but it allows you to hoon around much better than an "unassisted" open diff. It's been a thing on the 3 series since the LCI E90 days as far as I'm aware

So is the vacuum line that was connected to fuel filter considered a vacuum leak if it breaks?

Would a 2015 218d be similar to this?

I think so, Google what engine it has or have a look under the bonnet and see if it looks like mine in the vid

Any leather wash/soap will work for furniture and even shoes. And also leather balm/cream to protect the surface. You don't need to spend money on auto specific shit.

Excellent job! I have watched a lot of 50's kid myself. He has great videos. He makes it look so easy. Getting ready to replace Disa, water pipes, power steering hoses and rebuild my Vanos as well. Wish me luck! I enjoyed watching your videos because it helped me see mistakes a normal person can make and how to recover. Thanks for your videos :)

Great detail! Made servicing my F30 feel so much less daunting! Do you have any videos on other F30/31 servicing such as brake fluid etc?

I don’t I’m afraid, but the brake fluid is the same as any car really it’s dead easy

I’ve serviced my F32 over the last few years and wish I had come across a video like this back then. It’s been a learning curve…. The coolant was always the biggest pain.
