Thinking about buying a 535i and your channel very helpful

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

Thanks buddy. I try 🙌. I’m coding launch control on it tonight 👌

[@AutomotiveTherapy]

Nice! Great install video. Chargepipe upgrade is very important on these bmw engines

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

Thanks brotha. And yeah there’s prove right there that they can bust and I’m only on stage 1 lol

[@Scotford_Maconochie]

I have an F15 35i with the M Performance pack, good thing I switched to a metal charge pipe some 3yrs ago!

[@harlandirving4574]

Love the 535 videos I literally have the exact same color as you , & will be copying your full exterior design

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

Thanks bud I’ll definitely take it as a compliment haha

[@harlandirving4574]

@@BIMMERLEAGUE lol yea it’s a compliment , I love the design especially the rear diffuser with the quad tips

[@mariusdraculiera3866]

Am I right in assuming the attachment thingy you speak of at the 5 minute minute marker becomes redundant when installing the new charge pipe?

[@ginolevino]

Just happened to me taking off from a light. I thought my transmission or transfer case gave out!

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

Same here . Thought something was alot more dramatic as it sounded like a bazooka

[@fearx377]

I ordered the chargepipe but they didn’t include the gasket in my box, only the screws. Would this be a problem? Or should I contact them to send me the gasket?

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

I would ask them about the gasket sorry about late reply

[@jesussalgado7210]

At 4:55 in the video does anybody know what piece was disconnected? My clip broke during this install.

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

Unfortunately you’d have to swap out the whole line. It should have a part number printed on?

[@MACSTEEL107]

Man idk why but my charge pipe is very difficult to fit onto my throttle body. Without the o-ring i can get it to fit but with the oring its almost impossible

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

I remember it being a pain in my n54 but n55 not that bad. What charge pipe you got?

[@MACSTEEL107]

@@BIMMERLEAGUE i have a VRSF one from ecstuning. I cant get it flush enough for the metal clip to lock into place.

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

Interesting - I got mine in pretty easily mate. Any update since then?

[@davel.5521]

Can you post a link where you got the charge pipe?

[@antionehampton4534]

How do you know when it needs replacing?

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

When it blows lol if you’re planning on running more power I would upgrade the charge pipe

[@anthonyvillarreal9680]

Did you get a check engine light when you broke your charge pipe?

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

Actually surprisingly I did not

[@madminute7598]

@@BIMMERLEAGUE My sensor just blew off my charge pipe also. No CEL. Was able to drive it home. I am running a K&N intake and it's also chipped. I appreciate your walk-through as I try to do all my work myself.

[@martinsuter3240]

do you dont have to change the whole chargepipe?

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

Yeah most definitely

[@eclipse1201]

Mine did not come with a gasket for the O2 sensor and now I look at the website page and the gasket is not part of the kit at all. I need this done asap for a road trip, will I be fucked? Or did they change the design or something?

[@thcbaby7600]

Same here I’m not impressed with the “kit” as I had to also get replacement clip and gasket

[@andremagnum]

I am super curious, I see you replaced the top half of the charge pipe but if I am not mistaken the n55 in the 535i has a second half that is plastic. Why did you not chose to also replace that? Does it not break as often or was it just going to be too much of a hassle?

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

Yes the top one is the one that breaks often on these

[@kennyus2000]

mine happened today, the charge pipe on my M235 totally blown up, all kinda malfunctions pop up, drivetrain, transmission, ect.. like a Xmas tree, right on Xmas day 🤣

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

Lol yep that’s how it was with mine

[@kennyus2000]

@BIMMER LEAGUE at one point it didn't even let me change gears, and I had to drive home at 40mph 🤣

[@dylyo1]

didnt transfer my o-ring, whoops

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

Not good lol

[@dylyo1]

@@BIMMERLEAGUE got an error about too much air, cleared it and drove for 70mi no issues, will restore the ring tomorrow, these cars are built better than the whiners say

[@BIMMERLEAGUE]

Yeah they did get a lot more reliable
