I just bought a 325i very cheap with this exact issue and I removed the MAF and it's running perfectly now. Amazing, and thanks for the video. I'll have to look more into what the issue is exactly but this is a good start.

[@Natura-lity]

Finally!! Thanks man this sorted the problem out for me, was trying to figure it out for over a month now.

[@Trichur1972]

Thank you very much for this video, My 550i e60 is having the exact same problem. I live and work in Munich and this started since I had replace the head gaskets and rocker covers . I was supposed to pick up the car tonight and could not because on cold start the car is ok but when it warms up it starts shaking and the engine management light is on as well. once again thank you very much for this video.

[@Zendywars]

Greetings! Thanks a lot for the tip. I am having the exact same problem, it started suddenly.

[@mikedodd9294]

I had similar. The N52 actually runs better with the MAF-less tune, ESPECIALLY at first start. You should flash your car with it, costs nothing and its not difficult procedure, just requires a D-CAN K+ OBD cable and a Windows laptop (DO NOT USE Mac with VMware, it will appear to work but doesn't). If you don't already have 330i power, you will after the tune as it adds quite a bit of power and more responsive throttle to non-330i cars (323, 325, 328). You still have to leave the MAF in as it relies on the temperature sensor that is built into the MAF. Some markets already got the MAF-less tune which includes the temp sensor in the intake but omits the MAF. Its a BMW "tune".

Hi ..I just bought a 2005 X3 the engine is idling kinda rough..what is the name of the issue you found? Mass Air Flow Senser??

[@AlAlawi1956]

The video footage is crystal clear thank you. I have BMW650I 2007 convertible. Has similar issues. When the engine is cooled it is like roller coaster the RPM. Up and down. But when the engine is warm nothing at all. It was mess firing. The problem was the airflow hose and both side where the hose is connected. Had the three parts replaced due to age. The car start well with no issues. I guess having an old BMW650I you need a monthly budget of £100-150 kept to one side. Unless you are doing a regular maintenance then the cost would show. I just had the AC compressor replaced, the belt, dryer with labor costing £270. Need new shock observers front side and some parts at the back. BMW650I a fantastic and safe to drive with amazing performance BUT it has its cost. Thank you once again as air and fuel ⛽️ issues caused the my BMW650I issues. It was pretty reasonable to replace the parts at a cost of just over £100 at a local garage.

[@GodsArmyOnEarth]

Having the same probably with my 650

[@AlAlawi1956]

@@GodsArmyOnEarthJust get the PVC checked very easy to do. You might discover the pvc plastic damaged. Cost around £20 each. Labor pretty cheap. Both PVC can be replaced with max 15 minutes while you waiting. IF connection hose damaged? Then get it replaced with used hose original or new at cost of £50. SO basically you need £120-150 budget. Good luck 👍

[@dabj1975]

George the white wire wrapped around the PCV pipe is a heater wire and the foam you've removed is like an insulation. The wire is heated to prevent condensation forming in the pipe which would then form the milky substance that blocks the pipe/PCV valve which is that roundish part under the intake. These pipes are renowned for breaking since they become brittle over time, so definitely get a new PCV valve and associated pipes.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Didn’t know that mate, cheers. Already ordered the complete new kit anyway 👍🏻

[@kjschrauber2126]

I have a question mate. Would be glad if you could answer. I got the N47N and if the crankcase ventilation is clogged up because of the defect PCV valve might this be the cause of oil near the turbo ( clean air turbine side of the turbo) ? I thought I could ask you as you answered very wise regarding the N52 covered in this video.

[@dabj1975]

@@kjschrauber2126 I currently have the F10 with the N47D20C engine where the PCV system is completely different and unrestricted, so unless the rubber diaphragm on the top of the engine cover has ruptured (George has covered this in one of his videos) this is completely normal in these engines. Having said that you can reduce the oil by adding a catch can, I have one fitted and it definitely prevents the oil vapour going straight back into the intake, which on my car is just before the cold side of the turbo. I've just emptied the catch can after 5000 miles and it was really surprising how much it had captured. This not only stops the oil building up in the cold side of the turbo but also the intercooler and inturn prevents it mixing with the EGR gases causing carbon build up in the intake manifold.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yeah I have considered a catch can myself but only would if it is a factory fitting. It’s not such a big problem for me as I don’t have any exhaust gases going through my intake which is spotlessly clean 🙌🏼

[@gillespendragon]

I will try out that one soon, a new sensor is on the way, after I have changed glow plugs, relay, fuel sensor still smoking, haven’t checked the injectors hope they still alright

[@mg4263]

I have a 2006 523i E60 with the N52 Engine as well. I replaced the Original Sensor proforma wise with a new sensor from Bremi. It worked fine for most of the driving. But when i stepped full on the throttle at low rpms like 1500 and below there was a noticable shock through the car, as if the engine would not get fuel for a second or so. Although i deleted all the adaption values with my inpa software. So i bought a new maf again now from Continental/ VDO the Original BMW was a Siemens / VDO back in 2006. And i again deleted all the adaption values and drove it for about 30 miles for relearning new values. And....The Problem or the Phenomena of harsh behavoiur when stepping on the pedal at low rpms was gone completely. Also the fuel consumption was dropping and really good. And on the motorway the acceleration in 6 th gear from 60 mph up to 100 mph feeled like it increased. So my recommendation: Only BMW original parts or at least the company that was originally used by bmw ( in this case VDO ). This i can advise for all BMW Cars and their electrical components. 😊

[@bernardforrester1049]

I had so many thing looked at after my rocker cover gasket and finally after a scout on KZbin I found all my problems where caused by a blocked one way oil sender for the vanos there are 2 of them located on the left hand side of the engine one above the other 2 x t40 torque bolts and the bolt itself is the sender found one clogged up with gritty oil from the rocker cover cleaner re-fitted no more problems 👍 2005 525i

I'm looking at a used 2007 328xi wagon w/170,000. The current owner is frustrated with it and has replaced spark plugs, intake manifold gasket, valve cover w/CCV valve and crank case hoses. He said that headgasket is fine, as well as compression! He's dealing with a random misfire and a p0300 code. It's in beautiful condition in and out. Is it worth taking the risk at $3k? What should I expect, ignition coils, injectors...?

[@Mistrz_i_Malgorzata]

Hi there. I have a problem with n53 - nothing major - engine is struggling while I try to hold a Rpm range somewhere between 800-1200. While I'm doing that Rpms are dropping like 200-300 and up, and so on... Injectors checked, intake, leaks, fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, coils checked. Maf, valve cover replaced (because of age, huge leaks). All parts I'm using are from BMW AG - Chinese are good in phone covers. Injectors - index 11. No problem there. Last thing I'll do this week probably - is to replace battery, cause I think is damaged. While turning on fx - back heating on the windshield - a voltage reading dropping like from 14.5 to 12 for a two three seconds and going back to normal range on idle. Haven't testet battery like professional way yet, but I hope that's will be solution for my Rpm issue. Anyway I've had few errors stored with few systems - every single one is somehow related to voltage drop to 11 volts sometimes. Car is doing 250 km every.... And some say that BMW IS kind of an electric car - cause of there is no juice in the trunk, car is struggling in any case. Thanks for video. :)

[@denisbani3199]

Hello did the problem was the mass air sensor

[@jameshughes5460]

From my research on these engines, the MAF is almost certainly NOT your issue, particularly without a code. Chances are your CCV pipe is actually broken and you just can't see it. Mine broke into several pieces doing my valve cover. This will cause a vacuum leak and the rough idle. The only issue these have with the MAF is actually the connector. Try giving it a good soak in electrical contact cleaner but I'm pretty confident that's not your issue. Good luck though, no codes sucks!

I am replacing my entire CCV system in a few weeks anyway so we shall see :)

[@GPTSkills]

Although the maf sensor can be the issue, it doesn't mean for sure the sensor is bad if it runs good after disconnecting it. It is possible that you have a vacuum leak, even more likely when you are experiencing rough idle right after changing your rocker cover gasket. It could also be the maf wiring but that's less common. I did my valve cover gasket and my N52 ran as poor as yours did. I ended up finding that I didn't fully insert the breather hose from the valve cover to the intake manifold. Disconnecting the MAF would have made the engine run more smoothly even if the sensor was good.

Its a BMW . I run a 2000 Honda Accord V6 , so good I have 2 . Supposedly plagued with autobox problems , cured by recommended fluid changes and installing a transmission filter . Lots of things can cause this situation if not throwing codes . EGR , IAV , MAF or MAP , faulty coil or coils ( even if within spec ) .

Watch my video where I’ve finally fixed it

[@27madshaheen]

Hey What was the problem? Did u solve it? I had the same problem just after changing the valve cover gasket

[@codys4552]

Did you leave it unplugged till you got a new one and did it run fine after the new one?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Watch my other rough running video👍🏻

[@pirasathstephen5349]

good one bro

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks 🔥

[@romelsardar1487]

sir i have bmw 320d N47 engine same problem rough idle RPM fluctuates. pls help me what could be the cause.

[@johnlofrage107]

Did you fix your issue ? what was the problem

[@KA-yz3ut]

My observation was opposite when I unplugged the MAF, it became even worse. I have cleaned Vanos Solenoids but no luck yet. Any other ideas?

Man I'm bout to jus put my car to the side honestly because I jus spent 3k on a job just to turn around for it to be another problem. I've had several different things told to me along with this tick. That nobody can figure out but assuming I need a motor an now this problem 🤦🏿‍♂️😡

[@mogulme6190]

Bruh get your own hands dirty, I don’t mean to bring race into this but where I’m from I’ve had shops tell me my engine was gone or my transmission was bad trying to drain all of the money they can from me. Research on your own and invest in tools and diagnostic tools. Start wrenching yourself. I end up spending less than a 1/4 of what it’d cost to have others fix my car. I’ve seen first hand how mechanics will overcharge women and men of color who don’t know any better

[@mauricemcghee834]

@@mogulme6190 sadly that's something I'm in the process of doing already. I've realized that with all these shop's but Im saving now because my motor is locked up and. Well you know how that goes for BMW and sadly most shops are full now so either way I'm playing the waiting and saving game. It's a car I really wish my lady didn't buy at the time

[@Stancedude1]

Yeah I’m gonna put my car for sale after I fix this issue. BMWs are just ticking time bombs

[@christos881]

So you're not going to replace the MAF sensor??

[@GeorgeAusters]

No, I have a new video coming soon on the real fix!

[@Whiboi]

Is this at all relevant for N54? I’ve been having occasional misses, totally random and never enough to throw a code, has the newest injectors, new coils and new plugs (less than 10k miles) last thing I can think of is pre cat o2 sensors

[@GeorgeAusters]

Worth trying!

[@bavarianmotorsport9630]

is your below 2000 rpms?

[@denisbani3199]

@@bavarianmotorsport9630 have you find the problem

[@SonOfZeuz]

Could you help me with juddering on take off in 1st gear, car feels like it’s going to stall, I have to put a back out of first gear into neutral, then put it back into first given a little more acceleration and then it works fine, it only does it every now and then I don’t get any flashing engine lights it’s been like it for awhile and it’s wrecking my head if you could help in any way it would be fantastic

[@GeorgeAusters]

Could be a lot of things really

[@SonOfZeuz]

update a year later, it now cuts out and the whole engine wobbles each time i start it, exactly as you described. are you in Liverpool manchester area... ?

[@SonOfZeuz]

but when it heats up all the problems go away on my car, i have still not been able to find a mechanic that can resolve this

[@danskinner467]

Many times some injector Techron cleaner smooths it out. Bad gas is certainly a culprit.

[@Pierofelizzola]

Have same problem with my 2010 535i n54

[@Gabagoolll471]

Mine was quiet, changed water pump and thermostat and now I have a huge studdering and they’re shaking spark plugs now

[@Ultermategamerz]

Uhhhh I doubt the issue is with the MAF sensor. Since the DME requires the MAF sensor for closed loop fueling it will switch to open loop fueling ie. using a map and hoping it’s correct essentially. However it can tell you that the fault lies with a sensor that is involved in the closed loop system.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Watch my updated rough idle fix video👍🏻

[@rtracing]

Had exactly the same symptoms and by replacing the whole pcv “system” like the valve and breather hoses fixed.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Will be replacing the CCV system soon too👍🏻

[@MoHawkAnakin]

Replaced whole valve cover, all gaskets, the hose that connects from the valve cover to the intake manifold, and still getting mixture to lean in bank 1 and 2.. sooo fuckin annoying this is my second BMW I’ve owned and idk if I can’t handle this shit anymore. BMWs are nothing but a money pit. Just love how they look.

[@theequalizer3330]

@@MoHawkAnakin sounds like your o2 sensor is bad
