BMW M57 Exhaust Manifold replacement

My car had wierd sound of air escaping from the exhaust, also lost of power. It came up that exhaust manifold was damaged.
This movie will show you how to replace this part.
Please make sure that you have ordered correct replacement part, maybe better to confirm with BMW.
Part that I have installed I have from eBay, to find it please type in search "EXHAUST MANIFOLD BMW E60 3.0d M57"
Good luck
------ UPDATE ------
I just have done same job on my friend car, and I found that replacement part was longer and doesnt match the turbo position.
I have compared it with my car and it looks like in my car metal plate under the turbo that connect turbo with engine block is missing. It is not a problem as since my work the car work well and I have no issues with it. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO BEND TURBO TO MATCH CONNECTIONS ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, remember that turbo is very fragile and it is not good to bend it.
If your part will not match connections on the turbo located under manifold then I recommend to remove metal plate that connect turbo with engine block, it is two screws on the engine block side and one under the turbo.
Good luck

Hello, I have changed my exhaust manifold by this method but I didn't loosen the turbine from the exhaust system. When I started to tighten the manifold to the turbine one of the bolts overscrewed, so the sealing wasnt good and now I have leack with the new manifold. Anyway I will fix that problem. I recommend to everybody that desided to use this method to loosen the exhaust system from the turbine before to do it. Anyway this method its quite easy and useful job becouse you work from the top of the engine and you could do some maintanance on the engine that doesnt cost much and its a must ( cleaning intake manifold, removing swirls and things like that )

[@AliMackMechanical]

Big thumbs up 👍

[@kamilprusinski.]

I have done this job on the few 530d beems. I have never moved the rocker cover. Just the manifold, and the pipes. It's hard, but the access is big enough to do it. Cheers...

[@mika69ize]

Just replacen manifold in my e39 530d. Good thin i read this comment. Lot of unneccery work if you remove the head cover.

Andy when u take out a head of engine plastic thing you put later new gasket ?

[@kafaristm3874]

Zrobiłem to od spodu bez zdejmowania pokrywy, 16 godzin w garażu ale dało radę, najgorszej było wkręcić i odkręcić szpilki i osadzić egra do kolektora 😊

[@mbl-randomdiy6024]

Thanks for the well guided video. Did you have to replace the valve cover gasket?

[@AndyN1]

Hi there, no I have replaced it few months ago and it is still in good condition, if your one will be hard like plastic then you will need to replace it, if it is still soft then you just need to clean it. Good luck

[@dark___666]

Hi ,Andy .Great video and you did very good job . I have a BMW E 60 525d 2005 M57 engine same as your . My turbo has go on and i want to replace it my self .I need some advice ,which one it`s the easy way to remove it from the top or underneath ? That`s my first time and i`m not sure if i`ll manage to sort it out .Thanks .

[@AndyN1]

Hi, in some point I did removed my turbo, I have done it from the top, but it was as part of the bigger job as swirlflaps crushed one of my pistons therefore my engine was in bits anyway. But when I was making this movie I think that turbo was exposed well enough to be removed

[@dark___666]

[@williamdawson8104]

Very good video Andy. Can you tell me how long this took from start to finish?

[@AndyN1]

Hi there, for me it was aprox 3 hours with recording of the movie, if it is the first time that you work on it I think you should have at least 4 hours to not rush.

[@pintileialexandru289]

Hi Andy, I think that I have the same problem.. because there is the same sound, smoke when I hard accelerate the engine and lack of power. I would like to do the job, but first of all I have a question to you.. If i follow the second procedure " take the injectors out " So when I put everything back together...the screws around the fuel injectors and all around the engine I should use a torque wrench for them or not ? Thank you for help with this video !! Really helpful :):)

[@Mattrenz]

Definitely use a torque wrench,I snapped one of my bolts doing by feel, luckily I managed to get it out👍

[@bilalahmed2386]

Hello mate, watched alot of your videos, they are brilliant! Im looking to do the head gasket eventually (low compression on Cylinder 1 and 2) on my pre lci e61 535d. Is this the process id be following to lead onto the head? Thanks

[@AndyN1]

Hi, thank you, yes these steps will help you to get there, but you will need few more, plus the tool to lock timing on the engine. It will be good to get help of someone that did it in the past. Also please know that the vacuum pump mounting ring is welded, do not try to remove it. I have seen people taking it out and then had oil leakage from front of the engine. Good luck with your job 💪

[@bilalahmed2386]

@AndyN1 apologies for the late reply, and thank you for replying. Thanks for the information will keep it in mind, can you tell me more about locking the timing as i need to do more homework on it. I've yet to get a hold of the tool. I'm also using Ista to help me, will hopefully start the job in the next couple of days. I am no mechanic but have done other jobs on my car, this will be the biggest so far 😅 Exhaust manifold looks to be a tricky job, being the 535d. Is there anyway i can message you directly if I need a bit of advice when it comes to the timing? Thanks

Hello, I tightened all the exhaust manifold bolts to 20 nm with the dinamo, but I am unable to screw in the 3 hex bolts that goes from the exhaust manifold to the turbo. What I'm doing wrong?

left the turbo with one hand or a friend then screw in the bolt

[@zaydounezz4888]

Super video. Where have you seen that the injectors need to be reprogrammed if not put back in same order?

[@AndyN1]

Hi there, I marked my fuel injectors to put them in the same order, then you dont need to program anything, it is simple adding them back 👍

Hey, that voice witch comes out of motor early on this video. I mena the sound when its running 600-700rpm and its like standard ”knock knock....” so where it comes? Anyone know?

[@AndyN1]

Hi there, I am sorry for late reply but I lost my family member :-(. Ad for the noise the only one that wad odd came from rear bearing on the alternator. Luckly I had old alternator, I rebuild it and now engine sound normal again.

[@saquibmiah8564]

hiya buddy i followed your video with the torque setting but its still smoking around the manifold is there a way that the gasket should sit or is the old carbon burning of. i just dont know what i,m doing wrong. many thanks in advance again
