cat d is fine mate nothing major if your not planning to sell it then no reason not to buy it for my purposes I wouldnt touch any categorised cars but if your not in the trade you have no reason to fear cat d can end up better then a car thats been on the road all its life because being a cat d it may have been off the road for months if not years and it wont have much rust or much mileage which means not much to go wrong

[@JayKay_123]

BMW Doctor went to go see the car after... oil was mixed in the coolant and on INPA the cylinders 456 where reading low and 123 was hitting the reds. Was walking away the right decision? (Still stuck with my N43 and he will still do a straight swap) car drives just running really bad.

Which one would you recommend to be reliable? Hope you will answer a 2 year old comment 😅

[@akd4157]

My N53 engine seized about a week ago due to low oil pressure😢. It had some oil leaks back in march this year which I took to a bmw specialist and got it sorted. Fast forward in June I noticed the car consuming a lot of oil but this time on longer journeys like 2hours plus journeys. I had to refill the oil after every long journey. I contacted the bmw specialist who fixed the oil leaks back in march and he advised me to add an additive into the oil from Halfords. It was called stop leak. It was working okay until about two weeks ago the engine gave up on the M3 motorway. Had to call RAC to tow the car back home. The RAC guy said the engine had seized because he tried to spin the crankshaft and it was very still. He mentioned something to do with the timing chain as well. I’m probably now looking at an expensive repair or possibly an entire engine replacement

[@SunKing968]

Sorry to hear that hope you can get the car back on the road somehow. Rotten luck

Hi Dean, I bought my 2008 325 3.0L N53 MSport september 22 with a dead water pump so got it cheap and had it transported back to London, water pump and thermostat replaced, now it drives however it has many of the issues you've listed. got a bunch of new parts, just replaced mass air flow sensor, 6 x NGK sparks, 6 x Bosch Coils now it fires up and runs better but am still getting engine management light on afetr few minutes with high speed fan running and engine fault warning message on screen, next to replace will be 2 x VANOS, engine oil flush, engine oil replace, new oil filter - then take it to BMW for a full diagnostic check to see why she runs fine but the "Engine fault" message appears with a high speed fan then contact you for that software update. Dean I've had BMW straight 6 naturally asperated cars for most of my life and to me "NOTHING BEATS THEM" I will crack on with your list of checks/fixes until my car is perfect because I know - once you look after these engines they pay you back 10 fold and the pleasure you get from driving a BMW - you just dont get from a Ford.

Basically if you want to own a reliable e90 lci n53 you'll likely need to spend 4k in index 11 injectors, 1.3k in hpfp, min 500 in water pump, valve cover, not to mention the nox sensor and the 3k catalyst if it fails. Is spending 5-10k on top of the price of the car worth it when it will not sell for the sum of that... I've bought one for 14k euros, 114000km, I need injectors. The car won't sell for 18k so I'm screwed. Tough journey trying to be a BMW owner for the first time. I regret buying it.

[@InfiniteDice]

Hey Doc, wondering if I can pick your brain for a minute. I started my x3 the other day, didn't drive more than a minute when it shut off... so I pulled over and it wouldn't restart - had the EML light on. So I walked back home with my daughter and discovered all the engine oil on my driveway. Upon inspection 1/2 the oil filter cap had exploded off and all the oil blasted out and made a mess of the left side of the motor (left hand drive - Driver's side - intake side). So I buy a new cap, and new oil... clear the codes - had a over retarded + o2 sensor code. Started it --- Long crank then start - dies... restart - dies... restart.... Runs like crap at about 580rpm. Had a strange rattle sound like someone shaking a spray paint can. So I let it idle - eventually it came up to 800 or so. Eventually I drove it home but anything more than light throttle and it bogs down with a muffled puffing sound. So I'm thinking Oil has contaminated something. I cleaned out the vanos solenoids and cleaned all the connectors. Then it showed code p0341... Cam Position Sensor A bank 1. - should be intake. So I cleaned the connector for that as well as checked the wires. I notice that oil had spilled onto that electrical connection under the intake manifold, I think it's a 2 wire - whatever that is down there. Final notes: Starts up after about 4+ seconds of cranking... which isn't normal... usually starts right away. Runs cold about 800+ rpm then climbs up to 1100 after a few seconds - then back to about 500 - 600 once it's up to temp. Beyond that it seems to idle fine. If I rev it, it will bog down like a pufffy intake sound, if I put it in gear it won't move if I apply throttle it will bog. Any ideas are appreciated. I'm thinking oil is in an electrical connector someplace... Car was running fine before this so I don't see how a sensor could have been damaged from the low oil level. Thanks!

[@danutaioan]

Hello mate, I got an N53B30 on my car and I noticed that fuel consumption it went from 21-23 mpg to 14-15mpg could be because of the winter of something could be wrong with the engine. I’ve done full service in June last year ( almost 3500 miles ago ) spark plugs, oil, filters etc. I know on wintertime the consumption goes up but in my opinion, the difference is too much between 21mpg to 15mpg.

[@Giannis6000]

I hate you I have a N53 without problems. The question is: is something good about this engine at all?

[@jurgised1]

Yes it is ! It's a bit more powerfull than N52 and has better fuel consumption

[@BMWDoctor]

That’s correct 😁

[@user-dm4zn7ov1l]

I’ve got a question about my parking sensors, I keep taking it to the mechanics but they keep saying there’s a rear module power fault and don’t know how to fix! Any ideas? Help 😢😫

Hi! Very informative video. Thanks!! Is there known problems with the timing chain/guides on this engine? I have a rattle at idle when engine is thoroghly warm(no cold start rattles) also some clattering at warm start when car has stood still 10--15min. When i rev the engine gently there is a metallic ticking that follows the revs. The sound is most prominent if i prod the throttle so revs go up to 2-3k rpm- on the way down theres a clear ticking/rattle. This NOT injector tic.

Hello, I have a 2006 bmw 530xi. I keep getting the code P420 and P430. Lately my car is dragging and it won’t really accelerate. It’s really slow. Do you think it’s the catalytic converters or the oxygen sensor? Thank you very much

[@BMWDoctor]

Hay bro good night I have a 530i n53 engine I will like to get it updated

[@chadparris734]

hey doc, i need some advice i hope you see this ... we have an x3LCI N52N (THA) bmw it was rough idling/missing, it would cut out at random times and rough changing gears to where it would almost push you forward in the seat as well. We took it to a mechanic here ... he checked it none of those things happened with him... he said he only got a light miss... diagnosed it and said it was the MAF and the rough changing was the cross in the rear driveshaft took it out the garage drove great engine wise only thing was the rough change in gears. Ok, so 3 days later MAF is changed.. still rough changing have to import the driveshaft... but now on top of all that...it is back to rough idling/missing even worse.. 4x4 light keeps blinking off and on and the engine light came on recently. If you can atleast give us some idea about this id be grateful.

[@chadparris734]

brand of the MAF is OE .. so we arent playing cheap either... you have constantly drilled never buy cheap parts for this engine into my head

Hey good evening @BMW Doctor I've got an issue with BMW 330ci 2006. It's got a battery drain so while I'm waiting to change the FSR on it I've decided to disconnect the battery. What's started to happen is once the battery is reconnected the car sometimes doesnt start, its turning over tho. Sometimes it starts then after a 10mins drive and turned off and you go to start it again it doesnt start. If you wait a while it decides to start again. Was thinking it could well be the fuel pump? But not sure. Any ideas? Will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[@BMWDoctor]

No mate that is (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR) What is happening is when engine is COLD the car goes back into open loop When the car is hot it’s in closed loop which means the car won’t start as it’s trying to use the sensor to start which it can’t because the sensor is faulty

[@KDips18]

@@BMWDoctor cheers mate will have a look in to that. Appreciate your help and time.

[@KDips18]

@@BMWDoctor is there any checks I can do to make sure its definitely the CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR?

[@KDips18]

@@BMWDoctor also mate what make would you recommend to get? e.g HELLA, MEYLE? As not sure which ones BMW use as standard. Your help would be appreciated mate. Sorry for bugging you again.
