HOW TO DROP A SUBFRAME ON AN E CHASSIS BMW! (E6X, E8X, E9X)

[@kendallhughes7507]

this is a crazy video- you guys look/sound so young- it's like children doing extreme mechanical work!!!!! *AMAZING!!!!!*

[@crazygamer889]

Literally replacing my turbos in a week, perfect timing!!!

[@JonathanWeeks]

Thats actually perfect timing haha!

[@Linuxhax]

Literally?

[@WORM1100]

Haha, Nadi in the background silently supervising. Thanks for the video. Wrapping up the single turbo install and totally forgot how i took the subframe off, this helped.

[@benruiz39]

That’s a great video guys!!! Thank you for taking the time to share. I’m getting ready to do the rod bearings on my 2008 bmw 535xi do I have to take the axles out??

[@MGB-di9gd]

Did you find out if you had to take the axles out I have the same car and am planning to possibly do rod bearings as there is metal shimmer in my oil

[@samuelrabal4480]

@@MGB-di9gd yea you have to pull front CV’s, personally I’m replacing them, control arms tie rod ends, basically anything that I’m pulling off is getting new, might as well

[@worksmartnothard163]

Can you do a video for a 2001-2006 750 li showing how to drop the front subframe. I’m trying to replace the rack

[@christopherlanderoz3002]

I needed this...to have a bit more lighting, less shake, and slightly more time on each bullet point you hit.

[@TheSsnow4ever]

I can't believe you didn't say what the bolt size of the 6 subframe bolts was. That was all I was trying to figure out

[@mrt2734]

Thanks guys I don't own a BMW, but I do own a 2017 Genesis G90 5.0 HTrac Ultimate, I just brought a lower Oil Pan and Gasket. The dealership informed me, they had to lower the subframe to get to the lower oil pan so they could replace it, they also informed me it was a six hour job, I had to get it done. The service cost was reasonable, because I just ordered all the parts. This is definitely something you have to have a garage and lift to do and a extra set of hands. It's very important for any vehicle, if you don't your car can leak more oil in the long run, in my situation and jeopardize your engine especially if you are not watching the oil levels.

NOTIFICATION CREW! Thanks for being a 🌞 spot in my DAY!!

[@JonathanWeeks]

Thanks for watching!

[@qx4n9e1xp]

Not looking forward to doing this in the summer. I don't have a lift or as many hand tools for the inevitable problems I'll run into trying to take bolts off. 😆😭

[@monocuco818]

With the subframe down, how easy would it be to replace the strut mounts at that point?

[@J.molina32]

Bruh keep doing what your doing straight up, I fucks with you and your homies videos keep up the goodshit 💯

[@JonathanWeeks]

Thanks fam 🙏

[@hevendranarayansamy2793]

Nice little tutorial. Thanks. Edirty9 knows alot about BMWs

[@JonathanWeeks]

He’s the bmw master haha

[@dimitardim9175]

Soon replacing my frame, just to know, there are diferent types,for convertible

[@JonathanWeeks]

Should be the same for all 328 and 335. M3 is the only different one

[@bmwplayground836]

Did you mark the steering shaft before removal Of the rack ?

[@euvaughntaematheson1961]

Is the 08 subframe the same as the 2011

[@boostedctr5173]

I love it when they say it’s possible on jackstands yeah it is possible it’s gonna take you two weeks also 😂😂😂

[@mms16mms16]

Not the case... I did this on jackstands in the snow on an AWD e91 (half shafts run through oil pan, diff mounts to the side of the pan). And I did the entire project in 2 days.

[@MrBoostedk20]

i did it on jackstands, replaced turbos and was back in within 2 days

[@CRXtasy125]

Anyone have the torques on the bolts when you have to put it back together?

[@rickpesselse7761]

If you put your subframe back how tide do the bolts need to go do somone now

[@almightyp97]

Exactly 5 ugga duggas 😊

[@mms16mms16]

Holy crap... don’t use regular SAE sockets on eTorx bolts... you are asking for a disaster. Invest $12 in a set of eTorx sockets- they are cheap. Otherwise impressive work!

[@zussstudios7189]

I have a question is the subframe on the e90 is the same on e92 ??

[@blazingaura18]

Yes it is

[@matt_s0mm85]

That black cross member that has the jack point, what is it called?

Thanks for 're advice very useful bro!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@JonathanWeeks]

Happy to help!

[@ersinalp8121]

Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@JackRR15]

At that point might as well keep rack on frame and disconected hoses.

[@buzzkillington3354]

The only engine sub frame I've ever removed was on a ford fiesta...it was 4 bolts 🤣🤣 slightly easier job than a e92 lol

[@JonathanWeeks]

Haha I bet! It’s a lot of work to drop these ones

[@TeAm4Za26]

Is an alignment needed afterwords ?

[@DeteCT0R]

If you dont touch the tire rod then you does need. But maybe if they need you gonna feel that when you drive.

[@CR2BukKi]

Is it the same as an awd?

[@JonathanWeeks]

I don’t believe so

[@aarontayag473]

do u guys know the torque specs? i just dropped my first subframe and it would be very helpful for re-assembly ^_^

[@b00sted4]

tight

[@felixgallo1693]

😂😂​@@b00sted4

[@euvaughntaematheson1961]

And what’s the name of the wheels on the car

[@quakes2062]

Anyone know if the 2008 545i is a E chassis ?

[@TheNoobComment]

I ordered one from schwaben and the hook broke on me. Gotta wrap the chain around the two hooks than the one hook holding the tow hook like that.

[@javierbautista9721]

What hook is that? The one I used doesn’t threw all the way down. If anybody got a direct link for the hook used here Lmk 🤦‍♂️

[@marcoc4513]

Do I have to do this to change my oil?

[@JonathanWeeks]

Yes...

[@marcoc4513]

Jonathan Weeks shiittt. No wonder why my mechanic charged me $4000 to change my oil

[@JimmyJohnson-ub4rt]

No

[@ItzEmmaunelworld_3]

Aye!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@biancasaucado]

I remove the motor mounts with even touch the subframe

[@jasonpark732]

What size are the subframe bolts?

[@shadmanzzd]

6m

[@canooples5134]

Is this the same subframe as the e60 chassis?

[@fastboatster]

Would be great if you guys could tell us how you found a shop space and all the other details needed to have a dedicated place to work on cars like this. Possibly some shop space costs break down if you don’t mind this

[@TeAm4Za26]

You cant do any research on your own for your own area ? . Holy spoonfed

[@fastboatster]

@@TeAm4Za26 I can but I don’t know what I don’t know. You can just not watch that video if they make it. Thanks for “constructive” response

[@allmycarsisbroke]

@@fastboatster Your comment wasn't constructive, either. Just bitc*ing and moaning about the fact that you're a peasant and you're salty that the OP isn't also a peasant like you. Maybe go buy a Kia?

Wth. I just asked u to change the oil.

[@JonathanWeeks]

You’re watching the wrong video then 😂

[@co-deangramz3307]

DO NOT BUY HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS !!!! GET DURALAST ,

[@justinnaidoo4297]

Does the subframe have bushes which can be replaced as well?
