Congratulations! Glad I could help.

Great video !!! Keep up the good work !

[@exiteternium]

what!!!?? NOOOOO NEVER EVER EVER EVER USE ENGINE FLUSH!!! it does NOT LUBRICATE, just change oil every 3-5K and use new filter every time, the detergents in the oil will do PLENTY to keep the insides of the engine clean and free of carbon deposits/ debris

[@itsjustals]

your wrong

[@exiteternium]

@@itsjustals not according to all the engine R&R's i did thanks to Jiffy lube and their "engine flush" service, where the rod's, or mains or both spun and locked the engine. or in DOHC engines the cam journals became extremely scored. oil has plenty of detergents, and i don't care if it says it's LL-01 BMW certified, anything past 7K according to independent testing performed by blackstone labs shows the oil is no longer protecting but abriding due to excess silica suspension in the oil proper oil changes are 3-5K to keep additives and oil clean in the engine. i have a N54 with 188K miles, and when i did the valve cover and swapped to an all aluminum one the cam ledges where pristine, with only minor discoloring from age. zero carbon deposits, and i change it at 5K max.

I have a 2014 diesel BMW F30 320D if so, what do you recommend?, my car has 250,000 kilometers down pipe eco tune, never had a fault apart from oil and filters every 20,000 kilometers yesterday i have done for the first time new battery and suspensio

Replacing everything, just do maintenance as needed... From a E90 and F30 owner😊

[@axd0703]

List pls

[@ambarsinghdhaliwal]

Can you advise on gear/ transmission oil change??

[@AH-yg2dj]

in an f30, you should be fine driving without the belt for at least 20 km, as steering pump is electric as well as the coolant and fan.

[@MIA8721]

Only if I had a honest shop that would do all the maintenance work

[@ariffinshafie9063]

Its very hard this day

[@danjames6620]

you can try to tip the mechanic secretly , before the work starts .works every time !

[@AnnthonyNetto]

How much did it cost?

[@essenceb9451]

Very informative video. Thank You!

[@AJDrives]

Glad it was helpful!

[@andrewtumusiime3773]

Thanks for the great video, why do people say bmw s are not reliable, is it because they do not do the proper maintenance or they just unreliable

[@anyimmichaelik]

You don't need to do that much maintenance on Toyota and Honda.

[@lolz139]

I USUALLY change it at 10K km because isnt that the point of fully synthetic oil?

[@AJDrives]

Most of us usually spend lots of time in traffic with the car idling, so I'd consider that as the extra "2000km" myself just to be safe.

[@cyberfredo74]

for the gearbox fluid the first change has to be done at 150.000 km recommended by ZF officially (confirmed by mail by one of their agent) not every 50000 or 80000 like i heard of course you can always do it earlier especially if you use xHP and change settings / reprog it

BMW upgraded the charge pipes on the F32 2016+ so they aren’t plastic anymore

[@charles-nb8gz]

engine mounting change before?

[@AJDrives]

Yes! I've already done it in another video on my channel. Should be Tip No. 12 👌🏼

[@nazmussakibribhu6865]

Broooo on the fence about buying a 2012 328i, price is excellent. Car condition feels amazing. But not sure yet. Is there a place where I can take the car for a pre purchase inspection? Would really appreciate your suggestion please.

[@AJDrives]

Z Auto Service, tell him AJ sent you

[@aarondowthwaite8865]

How much does all these flushes and oil changes cost?

[@AJDrives]

Without the timing chain and belts and stuff, probably less than $500

[@mapperid]

Already subs you bro. Your channel is well explained. I have tried surfing many channel include my own country but not good enough.

[@abro9765]

Timing chain every 100k for the n20? even with the upgraded guides?

[@AJDrives]

Pretty much

[@longstory1569]

I don't think so. I changed mine first time at 192k km and it was good. I changed it to new one, so this new should be good for a another 200k. N20, xdrive 28i. Changed oil every 5k km.

[@AJDrives]

"Engine oil, Oil Filter, Engine Flush, Gear Oil + Filter, Brake Fluid, Axle Oil, Airmass cleaning, Air Filter, Injector cleaner" is all-together RM1449 ($330) at Z Auto Service. The rest are also not that expensive.

50k km trans oil is to much, every 100.000 km is already good, sure with your scedule you keep the car as new, but in europe your maintainance bill will be as much as a car 😅, trans oil job is 800€ already

Damn! Trans oil service with original fluids and parts where I'm at is less than 200€ 😅

this is nonsense.

[@yammydodger1988]

Never use an engine flush, if you want to do a flush, just run normal engine oil through it then drop it out for new, and ZF recommend changing your transmission fluid every 60000mls or 8yrs, whichever comes first, same with the rwd diff oil.

[@trustgtr33]

These cars were made to last the lease, after 5 years or 100k km everything goes to shit..😂, thats the 'lifetime' of the car...

[@thebeatmajors_yt]

except it's not

[@manuelseda4946]

In other words just swap the entire car out. GTFOOH with this BS

[@AJDrives]

Owners like you who don't believe in proper maintenance are the ones who break these cars. Everything I mentioned is basic maintenance and is the case with most car brands. If changing fluids and some belts and tensioners are BS to you, go buy an electric car.
