You'll never be poor working on BMW's my man look forward to seeing the shop open 👍

[@mrmalik7657]

Kinda was hoping the open right now bro...I need to see the doctor

[@Sanyey]

dude.. literally all of us m57 (or in my case Y25DT) owners know what we own :D we all prevented, or dealt with these problems I assume :)

[@deanlynch2030]

The m57 engine is bomb proof ive done 40k in 3years. and all ive done blanked egr! Changed a few sensors and Kept it well serviced what a motor fair play!!👌

[@sahmedt9]

When you say blacked Egr was it a physical removal or just a delete by the remap people ?

[@AM4project]

how did you deal with the check engine light? did you have to code it? if so could you tell me how please?

[@steveshadwell9111]

Another great video Dean. Sound advice about the glow plugs. I had 2x fail on my E61 535d and I only knew as it stopped the DPF regeneration. I used your video and removed and replaced all 6 glow plugs. ISTA diags knew 2 had failed - I didn’t need to replace the control module. Need to do the vacuum pipes next - a few look a bit crusty 😀

[@marek196c]

with glowplugs replaced every 10k is a joke, if you service them as per schedual and use anti seeze on them you won't have any problems, just when replacing and the threads don't look great, 1 pass with thread repair tool to clean them with some oil on it (so debriss will stay on the tool) and you are ready to go.

[@Ritcheyyy]

I replace glowplugs on my e39 m57 every 200k km and no problem… I have m57 for 15 years now…

[@mlgmounted9599]

my vortex crankcase breather did send lots of oil to intake, so yeah, you still need to clean that at least,( and i mean cleaning of vortex separator and intake itself) so it is much better to use good "old" fabric filter to prevent that( and change it every 2 oil change which is not that hard and not expensive at all) , not to say diesel engine can use oil as a fuel, so it can start revving on its own

[@91drunkenmonkey]

Is this true how comes

[@TheLuckyE9d]

@@91drunkenmonkey diesel is basically just oil. old diesels in ww2 ran on literally anything petroleum based. you can run a diesel on vegetable oil.

[@mkm7962]

Another top video Dean, you are bang on with the remapping carry on with these engines because everyone up north who has a 530/535d is selling them because they have problems lol. Not me. Even still have my egr in because its electronic and haven't got to that yet, swurl flaps have been blanked, I done that asap. Keep these coming, better than most content on KZbin.

[@BMWDoctor]

Thanks my friend always appreciate it 😁

[@arden6665]

Eww my 2004 X5 has been remapped and now I am worried 😂 130k on the clock. Will be sorting the rest of the things you have pointed out .. I currently have a glow plug module failure at present and have the parts here to change . Absolute nightmare to start on a cold morning . Cheers for the tips

[@wellhookedWA]

Love the intent but frankly the content is inaccurate and misleading. My X5 Diesel is sitting on almost 220,000 kms and runs strong and is ultra reliable. Obviously, a lot depends on where you are in the World. I'm in Australia but looking at the BMW KZbin experiences in the extremes of Canada the messaging is positive. Servicing is crucial as always. Best car I've ever owned.

[@ericmurray1679]

Fantastic video! I've recently purchased an e46 m57 and am looking to get it fully serviced. This video and your suggestion are really helpful :)

[@mjames978]

Check for rear brake pipe rust!

[@craigchamberlain]

If I heard you correctly you said to replace glow plugs every 10k? I'm assuming that's 10k miles but even so, that's a very short replacement cycle in my opinion. I've replaced the glow plugs and controller several times on two different E61 535d engines and I would certainly agree that they should be replaced on a similar schedules to spark plugs in a petrol engine. Something like 48k or 60k miles max, but not 10k unless you have an actual failure showing up in a fault code. If you don't do many miles then I'd also suggest a 4/5 year replacement if you don't get to 48k or 60k miles in that time. I totally agree that you don't want to leave it too long and then when a plug falls you can't get it out. My method for extraction is to get the engine fully hot before starting and then strip down everything to allow the inlet manifold to be removed. Then remove the electrical connections carefully and spray plenty of Plusgas or other penetrating oil around the glow plugs (not WD-40) and then go have a cup of tea and some cake. Or you could just stand around for 10-20 mins if you prefer! In any case, use a torque wrench in reverse mode and set a torque of 25NM and see if you can get any plugs out. If not, spray them again and wait 5 mins and try again at 28NM, then repeat at 30NM, 32NM and 35NM, each time spraying more Plusgas. Usually you'll get 4 or 5 out and maybe all 6 by this point. But if not then you need to decide to either leave the remaining plugs alone, especially if they are not showing as faulty, OR go to 40NM and try to get them out. I don't know what happens beyond 40NM but eventually you will snap the plug so choose wisely!

[@hdj81Vlimited]

my toyota 4.2 has 480.000km, still same glowplugs........

[@notmanynamesleft]

They don't even need the glow plugs unless you're in sub zero conditions.

[@jamesdonald1785]

Mine operate from 3o C and lower.

[@kristoferens3116]

This video popped up while doing some casual research for my 2005 BMW E61. I did the following on it (as you did): 1. complete EGR and EGR cooler delete 2. swirl flaps removed 3. DPF emptied and regeneration deprogrammed 4. new style breather as you showed in your other video 5. remapped to 200BHP, increased turbo boost and different torque curve on the automatic gear box So far, a new (E39) exhaust manifold (at 350K km), new turbo and new injectors (at 518K km) as main repairs . The car has 530.000 kms on the clock and running strong. Love that thing. What I am wondering about at this point is the timing chain...And so my question to you: would that need to be replaced in the near future?

[@chitown-60608]

The intake pipe that you mention at 6:55; can you give any hints on how to make sure it's seated correctly? I can barely see the pipe, so I'm trying to figure out how I'm supposed to get my hand in there to force it onto the turbo. Do you push it with a tool? Come up from underneath the engine or the side or from the top to the right of the pipe itself? So frustrated. I changed the thermostat and water pump on mine and everything is completed, but I'm not 100% sure that I've got this pipe connected to the turbo as you can't even see the connection. Greatly appreciate any advice/tips!

[@paulschwartze8924]

Currently driving a E46 330d with over 500.000 km, Chiptuning, EGR delete. Everything else is stock. Confirmed peak 800NM plus 300HP is just insane

[@paulschwartze8924]

Also driving 10W60 helps with these specs a lot

[@Sanyey]

U forgot the constantly problematic cracking Y water manifold under the intake.. breaks like glass if its still the original one, or even craks/leaks on its own. Worth replacing if the intake is already off, as it literally cost buttons aftermarket, and prevents future breakdowns cuz of blown cooling circuit....

[@91drunkenmonkey]

What’s the name of that part

[@sysad888]

Hi BMW Doctor. If I do an EGR delete to my 2001 3.0D E53, is it necessary to do an ECU tuning? Is it safe to use the car without any tuning at all? Thanks,

[@Stag2997]

The E9x 325d M57 also didn't have swirl flaps. Mine had none when I removed mine (no blanks or facility to fit them was there), and neither does another friend's 325d. I believe the 325d also had the later Vortex breathers from when we both did ours.

[@HighMiler330d]

My 330d has been mapped since 129k and its now about to turn 340k miles. The only thing out of your video thats failed is the water pump at around 310k, glow plugs are not the best these days but it still always starts even in the cold.

[@dzk6714]

I disagree on the remap , i have done mine and driving the car for 5 years so far no problems. Just take it to a pro who knows what he is doing. But i agree on the engine problems have replaced almost everything you mentioned in this video

[@user-zl8dx7bz8t]

Isn’t the N57 the engine that began having problems with the timing chain? I heard the M57 is pretty solid in terms of timing chain reliability.

[@piovo1]

M57s are basically bulletproof aslong as they get serviced regularly.

[@ejwrigley]

@@piovo1 first engine died at 285,000 km 😕

[@grahamepigney8565]

@@piovo1 agree entirely, I have two 2001 530D Tourings with 170k miles (273k kms) and 173k (278k kms) miles. Both on original injectors and EGRs (which I removed recently and they are clean as whistles). In fact the only engine component failures have been water pump on both (coincidentaly around 163k miles on each), the turbo let go on the manual at about 80k miles not long after I bought it but that was put down to lack of maintenance as the car had spent about 12 months sitting on forecourts and the left-hand engine mount on the auto which I changed about 1,000 miles ago. I had the swirl flaps removed on the auto when I bought it but have resisted the blandishments to bypass the EGR a. because they are perfectly clean and b. the issues with getting the vehicle past the Controle Technique (French MOT). Always been fully maintained either by a dealer or more recently by myself including making sure that some of the more obscure items like replacing or cleaning the crankcase filter is done at recommended intervals.

This engine is towed by a car tow truck in the winter. They weighed 7 tons. Another bills present bmw e39 wagon 530 3.0 Diesel it weighs 2 tons. Real 9 tons. The engine is a beast. The key is to put the engine in order. Because those model M57D30 3.0 used to be the best test in the Niburgring German race.

[@demetrakis7t2]

Excellent..vid .got low end boost, no smoke or cracked manifold or bad running...any pointers much appreciated

[@stevenseagal4987]

May be a dumb question but is there a tune that can “turn off/block” egr system? I know once it has an EGR delete and flush/clear these motors run much better and don’t have as much carbon buildup as a result. My only concern with doing a delete is that we have emissions tests for diesels under 8500lbs in my state. Also, is the EGR delete undetectable or?? Just trying to wrap my head around this

[@daysofgrace2934]

You can remap your ECU so that it doesn't do EGR. You don't increase boost->torque->power just remove the EGR from happening...

Have to chuckle with these videos that say that "Parts That Will Fail On A 100k+ Mile BMW M57 Engine". Why, because my two 2001 E39 530Ds have 170k and 173k miles and these parts haven't failed. On an M57 there is no given when parts will or will not fail. The M57 is pretty much bomb-proof and if properly maintained they will go on "forever" 2nd-hand BMW are often bought cheaply, driven hard by people who can't afford professional maintenance and don't have the skills, equipment or money to do the work themselves.

I have a 335D m57 engine (2009) any advice on this? Lately some more black smoke on accelerating, replacing the top Intercooler hose pipe as the garage I went to recently said that was slipping due to the clip being worn / bent, hence loss of power at times.

BMW Doctor I have a question about the BMW e60 530d 2004 218hp Automatic. there is a third thermostat which is on the oil cooler of the gearbox. I changed twice the main thermostat and the thermostat of AGR and the car did not heat more than 70 degrees maximum 80 in city driving. After replacing the third, the car began to warm up normally. can you give me a little more information about this third thermostat

[@rustynail9516]

Great point i aked the same question earlier, what degree does your car warm upto now? Do you have increased economy?

[@ВасилМерджанов-ш4с]

now the car heats up to 92 93 degrees and fuel consumption is significantly reduced

[@graham197103010]

Had same problem engine stuck at 70-75 degrees turned out to be slight gunk build up between new main thermostat and housing letting water through.

[@Subaruktm]

[@yakubi82]

@BMW Doctor N57 in a X3 30d 2015 with 130k Getting really bad fuel consumption. Around 27mpg even though I'm driving like a granny. Motorway mpg is not much better 35mpg. Noticed lots of dry soot on the exhaust aswell. Any suggestions where I should start? PS. Love the channel. Keep the videos coming

hi BMW Doctor and everyone, i have problem on my E36 M50 jerk acceleration while driving, the rpm goes up and down on 1400-2000, above 2000 rpm everything is ok, while idle and i rev engine till 3000rpm nothing goes wrong, any idea what to do? I have remove install intake manifold and check all hoses, so far ok

[@SimoSimo-mt5dm]

For the thermostats the automatic gearbox thermostat failure is also in many cases the reason this engines couldn't come up to temperature

[@VW_EOS_K04]

Bypass is what you need

[@jorisphilips6851]

I might be late to see this but can u explain a bit of the automatic gearbox thermostat

[@mrdunkin83]

CAN ANYBODY PLEASE TELL ME IF A 2012 BMW 750 LI IS A GOOD CAR TO HAVE

[@mkm7962]

It is, but it's not what the price of the car is.... Its maintaining on those particular cars, if you purchase 1 don't slack with servicing or using cheap Chinese parts and you'll have a brilliant motor. BMWdoctor will also back this up.

[@mohammedhamzabinharoon8525]

Nah, stay well away from BMW V8s. Highly unreliable, esp with valve stem seal issues

[@racergo169]

Thankyou if you get the time to reply 💙

[@MegredyPhotoStudio]

So, on vacuum operated EGR not needed any coding after deletion? Thanks .

[@bigash_n54]

No it does. My engine light came on after 20miles

[@M57connoissuer]

If I blank EGR, will I need it mapped out?

[@waynehick]

Yes

[@etienlemut1777]

What about an M57 with the DPF filter on... is it worth buying? Or will the DPF filter cause too much trouble?

[@CaliCarCulture]

The BMW 325d 2009 M57 is 197hp can be remapped to 252hp. I'm assuming you mean don't remap the 335d engine that has 286hp standard ?

[@waynehick]

Mines remapped to 360 bhp. The power is there but I drive like an old man 99% of the time. Car barely goes over 2k rpm. Its on 97k at the moment

[@isaacmx2929]

How do you feel about reliability and daily drivability?

[@joris4127]

Does the egr on the 330d 2006/06 need coding? Or is it vacuum based

[@novaturbkkk]

Vacuum

[@sem23200]

Bmw doctor I hope you might see this comment is it possible that if the breather becomes completely blocked that this would cause the engine to start leaking oil from all over the place we've got oil coming from rocker gasket from around injectors etc etc now I think the turbo has just popped

[@davidkunas6932]

Please put a translation on the videos. You have interesting content but I don't understand everything. Regards from Slovakia

[@SB-tp3yw]

dude i’ve got a e46 204ps 6 spd, map etc. anyway.. turbo failed, had it rebuilt and it’s gone again after 150 miles… can you give any advice?

[@yassineeddiraoui2636]
