I have a 2008 E61 525i N53 engine. Since a huge idling, I have changed all the spark plugs and coils and then injector on cylinder 3! The engine is still idling a bit rough when the engine is warmed and there is no error. PS. the engine is idling perfectly like butter when the engine is cold. Will the firmware helps? Does the EXPERT MEMBER means "join"? I do have K DCAN Cable and INPA system.

Mate, thanks very much for your videos and help. Just checked on DVLA and by putting in my reg number, my e60 was showing a recall. I've booked it in next week for the loom and wiring to be checked and replaced as necessary. They will also give it a health check and clean it inside and out. All free of charge! I bought the car a month ago and the car was in limp mode after a few miles. Got it checked and the vanos solenoid was showing as a fault. I've had my vanos solenoid replaced and a full service carried out now and the car runs like a dream but was shivering slightly during idling. That's what made me watch your video. Mate. Once again thanks a million!

I have subscribed to your channel because this is the most accurate video for the n52 rough idle. I own a 2011 328xi for 6+ years and these were the steps i had to take. I have a 9+ year old car and it runs better now than the day i bought it. Very informative and accurate video!

Your welcome and I’m glad this video has helped the many many people You don’t realise how many crook videos was around before I come along and killed this rough idle crap finally with the PROPER fix

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Hi Dean Would you be able to recommend specific brands of battery chargers/power supply for programing coding. I know you mentioned in your video that it should be 75amp as a minimum. Would appreciate if yoy can put links and recommend something that you know is good and works good. Thanks in advance

[@mrhurt123]

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Dean and his services! I can't imagine owning a BMW without ISTA D now. I will say I did this update, and in the end my valve cover did need replaced in order to fix the rough idle whining Squealing vacuum problem, which began to occur at 80k mi. on hot starts. A very common problem with these cars. (Mine is a N51 E90 2011 328 xi). I would say if you're having rough idle, try this update (my idle was always very steady). If you're having the whining squealing, its most likely a cracked valve cover or broken air/oil separator, either way you'll have to replace the valve cover. Quick hack: If you have a heavy suction when removing the oil cap during whining squealing rough idle, you need to replace your valve cover.

[@davidhenderson7433]

Yip, i just replaced my valve cover which comes with the gasket if bought from BMW direct, dont go buying the cheap Chinese clones as Dean has said time and time again buy BMW orig parts only. The crack seems to happen near the oil filler cap so check there. New valve cover for the N53 from BMW is £390ish non trade, ask them for a discount and usually you can buy for £340ish. From memory the torque spec is 8.5lbs on the bolts.

[@anthonygreaves4998]

Hello and thank you for sharing this information. I have a 2007 BMW 525xi e60 that I’m have issues on startup. It will take two or three times of cranking to start at any given time before it will start (long cranks) after it starts it may or may not idle rough for a few seconds and then drives great. I’ve recently replaced all the coils, spark plugs, crank sensor, fuel pump and replace the intake VANOS solenoid as I was getting a code for the intake VANOS. Now the car will start perfectly at times and other times it will do as before. I’ve been reading everything and watching everything I can locate for this issue. I am considering removing and resealing the VANOS pistons but is skeptical about that may even fix it. Any chance that this firmware update could be the fix. Yes, and I had to replace a couple coils prior for miss fire codes. Any help at this point will be appreciated

[@muscleman4799]

Sir you just gave me pure hope again. I been working on my bmw 325i m52 Engine, I have “engine service soon” and have misfire recently and scanned the codes and gave me P1553, P1056, P0300, P0301, P0302, P303,P112C The “engine service soon” started about 3 years ago nothing have gave me problems I have cleaned the solenoids and nothing so I left it alone and move on until I tackle the problems again and I have replaced vanoss solenoid, camshafts sensors, and just now the spark plugs due to rough idle last week Tuesday. I been determined to tackle every problem to my first car I ever driven and work on as a passionate mechanic. I didn’t want to give up so I will try this sooon before I waste any more money at this point.

Good evening, BMW Doctor ! Please tell me I have a car BMW E90 Restyling, engine N51 234 hp American. Diagnostics cannot find the cause. Every time I start a car, it stalls and does not keep idle.

And I can’t even find the idle sensor. Maybe tell me where it is? Thanks in advance if you can help super! Your biggest bmweast fan is bothering you from St. Petersburg.

not sure if you are still answering questions on this video, but if you are i have one. I have the 2006 BMW 650i 4.8l on 75k on it. beautiful car, had some preventative maintenance done already like the valve cover and front timing cover seals and vacuum pump rebuild etc.. it does have a rough idle on cold starts sometimes. and it drives me nuts. i have started to throw a few parts at it, plugs, coils (and unfortunately I ordered new vanos solenoids valves) is this firmware update that your video describes the fix for this? I'm just unclear if this is only if you have constant idle problems, cause mine is always upon cold starts. engine starts up but sometimes starts galloping a bit but eventually smooths out. once it warms up, idles perfect and will start/stop fine rest of day, until it sits over night. then it might rear its ugly galloping head for a bit again. I hate that this beautiful car sounds like a pile of crap when I know its not. thank you for your reply. There's a decent shop that is owned by former BMW mechanics close to me, and if so I would like to show them this video and ask to have this performed to my car, thank you for your time and information. your doing the world a great deed by helping us in your videos!

Hi Dean. I sent my car in to have centre prop bearing changed. 530d. E60. 05 plate. 231 bhp model. Now. I picked the car up it had a bad missfire. He showed me an ISTA critical level readout for injectors readout. Showing 2,3&5 were over the critical values. I admit I let the car get very low on diesel before dropping it off. So,..now. The prop bearing is fine. The missfire after putting £20 of diesel in and a full bottle of reddex started to clear. Still missing on one cylinder. My diagnostics showed up perfect injector values except for injector 3. Was showing + 5.1. Injector 3. After bleeding the injectors. Was bone dry. No fuel feeding to injector 3. I know it’s very possible I’ve dragged up some nasty stuff from letting the diesel get so low. What could be the reason that it’s cleared apart from injector 3. I hope you can help me bud cos I’ve spent so much money on this car. I don’t want to have to have a top end rebuild. Cheers.

Now its running like shit again and its cyl 3 that is useless.Prior to the coils I changed CKC Position sensor followed by Cam Shaft sensor then valve cover gasket meaning I changed valve cover as well as it comes as one unit after that I took manifold back off and replaced gasket(s) there as well, then coil packs as stated, plug, vanos, injectors , all vacuums lines are new and I even added extra ground wires to ignition coil harness and bought new battery. Finally today I thought there has to be some type of update or maybe I should have it tuned and then I decided to buy diag/coding scanner the Foxwell NT501 and then now I find this as im doing research ones again for my N52.

The car wouldn’t crank, but after I disconnected the negative terminal for a few minutes and reconnect it, it would start right up. And then one night suddenly, I got a very rough idle while driving. My wipers were uncontrollable, and my headlights would go on and off. Not to mention a ton of codes on my dashboard. And then the next day my battery was completely dead. I got a new battery installed. Started the car just fine, within one minute the rough idle came back and all the codes came back. And car died again that night.

Sorry to contact you like this, but I have a fluctuation problem in may. the car is a Bmw 535d from 2005. after watching a lot of videos and in particular yours, i think it is a problem in a torque converter. Can you make a video about this car in relation to this problem? How to do, what to change? Pars I can do. Thank you Denis Mariz from Portugal.

Does this update apply to the N62 engine on the 60 series?

[@venkatagoli5937]

Does this fix work for E66? My BMW 2003 745Li (E66) is having same problem. Generating P2187 and P2189 errors. Is this the reason?

[@jareknamysl3918]

Hi. Does it apply to N62 4.4 too? Mine 645ci experience same problem :(

[@BMWDoctor]

yes it does

[@sabbirahamed8554]

If I don battery reset with aurtel maxi is it gonna do the same or I have to start and off start and off couple of time ..

[@PhoenixWoody]

You mention a power issue that should be fixed. Does that apply to the 2006 330i N52 E90?

[@sethelledge3177]

Do you have a link to the cord that had the recall I can’t find it or the part # and thank you I watch your videos everyday

[@benbryson6598]

Can i use the same software you use and do the firmware update myself?

[@gervaiserees-bell355]

Hi I have an e90 318i with an n43. Will the update fix my rough idle?

[@Torrents77]

Bro I updated the DME and did the battery cable recall at BMW in America but the idle in Park mode is still rough. Is there another reason?

[@gail6904]

2008 X3 N52 having idling issue. Will firmware update fix it?

[@WAT2.1]

I have missfire Cyl 6 Rugh idle when it´s cold (only when its cold !) Will this fix my problem, i have changed sparkplugs and injectors? please

[@decimuscarrerus]

I got an 2006 x5. Driving me insane.. Ive replaced two intake hoses to include the elbow that had a hole. Reppaced coils, sparkplugs, MAF, secondary MAF. It still idles low and every few seconds I hear the engine idle up, then it slowly idles down again, jumps back up. My idle control valve seemed to have been clacking fine. I get the lean codes, check engine light ONLY when its at idle, or reverse. Any help? What junk!

[@joshuaporterfield5764]

I have a 2008 BMW 528i and it has a couple of surges while it's idling I changed the Vesa Solenoid both camshaft sensors and crankshaft sensor because it was throwing those codes what could I do to fix it this is my first BMW

[@KCKrew1]

Hey I have the bmw 2007 525i and my car revs up and idles crazy when I’m at a light or stop sign can you tell me the problem ?

[@bmw.source]

Does the E90 N52B30 have the rough idle problem as well?

[@BMWDoctor]

Yep it does mate

[@oralreid7714]

I haven't checked my firmware Hardware yet but he's a hundred percent right I've changed everything from the spark plug the coils fuel filter fuel pumps relays everything I could change in this BMW I still get a hard start the only thing I haven't tried is what he speaking about right now I've tried everything else so he has to have some sort of knowledge about this

[@haidentann5417]

Hi mate, thinking my issue could be related to this. I had code P0365. Replaced camshaft sensor and now I only get the P0365 fault on cold starts. Car idles rough. Worse when warm. How do I check the battery cable is the right one?

[@BMWDoctor]

look in your boot

[@benelliott5525]

Bmw doctor I subscribed to channel. I am looking to check firmware on my 07 bmw 530xi e60 I've been having rough idle when engine is warm. Is this something you can do remotely

[@benelliott5525]

And I did check the battery cable the recall had been done

[@S14anton]

Bmw e61 525ia 2005. Super bad idle. When it’s warm, it’s runs okay, (sometimes). Any idea?

[@HowdyJJE]

Hi Dean So my n53 e90 had had the firmware update and all recalls. It was running rough and bmw said it was a NOx sensor as that’s the code thrown up. They changed the sensor and it now has a rough idle on cold start. Also getting slightly crap mpg around 17mpg in town. I’ve not taken it back to them as yet as I only got the car back today. What could it be?

[@NPGChazza221]

Hey, did you get it fixed in the end? what was the issue

[@zsb707]

The NOx sensor replaceement doesn't fix the issue. Changing the faulty injectors will!

[@richardkhoza2878]

Good video

[@seanthomasrauchert1695]

Sweet ! great video thx for ur honesty & help much obliged...

[@jasoncrouch8080]

What do I need to do with the battery cable?

[@silklover82]

Just started watching the channel and subscribe. I have a 2013 328xi e92 coupe. Would this update also apply to my vehical? I’ve had issues in the past. My idle will hesitate more on cold starts.

[@BMWDoctor]

Yes it indeed will but remember dealer is not gonna do it for you if you want it done I can do it remotely for you

[@silklover82]

Bmw & Mini Doctor. How do I go about getting the update from you?

[@BrownieloveMike]

Doctor, Does this apply to an N46 318i BMW? And would the wrong size power source cause the same problem? Sometime it idles like a tracker and shacks when driving robot to robot but then idles ok when after driving on an open road.

[@BMWDoctor]

no mate it does not I dont do videos about 4 cylinder engines mate sorry get 6 cylinder and become part of the gang on here I could do 4 cylinder engines but im not about being cheap and economical what's the point in driving a bmw if your gonna opt for the lowest engine

[@BrownieloveMike]

@@BMWDoctor Look at God using you! Let me email you my bank account number real quick Doc. LOL Don't worry, The Pound is super strong in South Africa, it won't brake your bank at all. Thank you for responding, i appreciate that.

[@elijaymaserati5145]

Does this apply on an N42 in the E46
