While you’re at it: you should do the serpentine belt with the belt tensioner... these are 3 (including the oil filter housing gasket) of the 5 areas that this engine needs regular repairing on/with. The failed gasket allows oil and coolant to hit the belt.

Just finished this job today, I had the same issue with the bolt blocked by the coolant hose. I disconnected the coolant hose, it's just two 10mm bolts. Probably a cup of coolant came out of the oil filter housing, so be prepared for that with rags. It was a breeze getting that bolt on and off without it in the way. Just double check your coolant level after, no biggie. Once again, great vid, helped a lot. Thanks.

Got my gasket at Oreilly for $15. The 2 difficult to access bolts i have an 8 millimeter box end wrench ratchet that fits on those bolts perfectly. The one bolt under the manifold I could not get even a flexible extension to crack the bolt loose. I ended up using the 8mm wrench with ratchet and i put a large cloths beneath the manifold in case i dropped the wrench. took me like 2 hours but I am kind of meticulous about the order of things so it takes me longer than most DIY'rs. Other videos had you take the carriage cover under the car off and drain half the coolant and remove the alternator and buy new bolts for the alternator because suppose they are one time use bolts and l was thinking this job is way to complicated and luckily I saw your video. Thanks man for your video that inspired me to see if there is an easier process.

I recommend getting some Torx wrenches as an alternative to the universal socket. I was actually able to use a 3/8 set for the under-manifold bolt, but I semi-stripped the small troublesome front bolt. So I unbolted the in-the-way coolant hose to get at it better... but of course the hose broke apart inside the housing! (it was 10yrs 170k old ) - so now I need to get a new hose ($15 OE) and coolant. I also ordered some torx wrenches for future use!

Well done bro! one concern though is that you put the old aluminum screws back in. they're aluminum screws and should be replaced as well. because once you torque them to spec, they lose their integrity.

Yep these stretch bolts will fail and leak if not replaced. And then you get the privelage of extracting a broken bolt or 3 from your block. Also the fact your top rad hose didn't puke a bunch of coolant is a good sign it was low.

Just finished this job with my 16 yo on his car. I also had a hell of a time with the one e10 bolt that is closest to the fan, that faces the opposite direction than the other two. When putting the bolt back I used a 5/16th box end wrench that was about 5 inches long and that bolt went back super easy. I’m guessing that taking off using the 5/16 would also make it easier. Thanks again!

I just changed my OFHG on my 128i yesterday after the dealer recommended that I do so the last two times I brought it in for recall issues. I was quoted about $800 from the dealer. Thankfully I looked this up. Thanks for putting this up! The only recommendations I can make in addition to the parts used are as previously mentioned, get an e10 torx wrench. In addition when making that jig to get that back bolt, use a 1/4” extension. I tried 3/8” first but the thinner diameter made it a tad easier to get to the bolt cleanly. Oh and definitely have some covering over the serpentine belt. Coolant started shooting out and it surprised me! Thanks again! Great vid!

I know a lot of guys reuse these aluminum bolts that are everywhere on BMW engines but they don’t cost that much. Another never do. Never substitute an aluminum bolt with a steel one. The reason aluminum bolts are used on BMW and a lot of other engines with magnesium alloy blocks is called galvanic corrossion. The different metals will react to each other causing them to freeze together. Also many aluminum bolts are made to stretch when torqued. If you reuse them the torque will not be right causing bolts to break or vibrate loose.

Great video. Thanks for the effort to record it. It's worth mentioning that the filter housing bolts are aluminum one time use bolts. They should be replaced each time you do this job. The sensor you refer to on the housing is the oil pressure sensor. I would also recommend a genuine BMW gasket. The BMW ones have nibs on them to help add pressure against the engine.

Thank You for the video. I just did this job on a 2008 328xi. 2 items to add. First, when re-installing the bolt under the manifold, I couldn't get my big hands to hold the bolt to screw it w/o it falling. What worked perfectly was to put that bolt first into the housing and slide the housing in place. Then you can hold the bolt while using your e10 contraption to screw it in. Second, check the radiator hose (see @ 7:38 in your video) next to the short bolt for failure. As soon as I touched it with my hand it came apart. It saved me from being stuck on the road. The flange costs only $30 and has only 2 10MM bolts. Again, thank you for saving me $1200+!

The one using the universal joint was the hardest but I had 1/2” set and e10 wouldn’t work, changed it to e11 and it came out easy. Thanks a lot! I will take it on the highway and hopefully nothing stops working :) interesting enough the engine hiss sound disappeared immediately after changing the seal! Thanks a lot man.

There are much quality info on KZbin such as yours and abundance of parts (although pricey, that's german). And finally, these machines are a blast to drive when they're maintained.

I also flipped up the hose clamp with a screwdriver and was able to completely remove the housing to clean.

Not bad my guy. Lots of other methods are much more intense, removing much more parts. This made it look too easy lol. 👍👍👍

Great vid man ! Question , I have the same car e90 and its been making a whinning noise that sounds like a belt and a burnt oil smell like , come to find out its a bad crankcase however thats buildt in my cover valve wich i have to replace completely ! To replace this , 1) I dont have to remove the intake manifold right ? And 2) Where does the crankcase thats intergrated into the valve cover conect to ?

You're talking about the crankcase breather valve right? You shouldn't have to take off the intake manifold. Pelican has a good article on it. www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/techarticles/BMW-3-Series-E90/ENGINE-Crankcase_Breather_Valve_Replacement/ENGINE-Crankcase_Breather_Valve_Replacement.htm

I miss my N52. I have the N55 now in my 335i and could not get to the oil cooler bolt by the intake manifold without loosening and sliding the intake manifold off partially. Also, had to remove bunch of the trim by the windshield to get to the nuts on the intake. N52 is so much easier!

You can use a 5/16 socket if you're in a pinch. I did it without damaging the bolts but I would only suggest this if you cant get the e10 socket.

Do I need to drain the oil from the filter before any of this? I figured oil would be pouring out of there but it's not.

That's a band wrench I think. Sold in parts stores. Replace your oil filter and they come with new seals for the filter and cap. Just "repaired" my filter cap leak today.

If you're stuck and don't have the socket suggested in this video use 1/4 inch 5/16 12 point with a universal quarter-inch and 6 inch quarter-inch extension or you can use an 8 millimeter 12 point shallow socket all the socket should be shallow just when using do it very slow and make sure you keep your hand on the socket to make sure it doesn't slip if you feel any slipping and it is still seated properly wait for the correct tool
