TK!!! It's a pleasure to watch you as much as is it to hang out with you!! Thank you for trusting me to do this. I can't wait to see what you have in store for your G30 Bmw😎

[@haskellburks]

Hello TK. This was a great learning video. Can't wait to see what else you're going to do with her.

[@Vympel777]

Let's cut the wheels to replace tires 😁

[@robertbrady9597]

awesome video tk,s stay safe out by you guys

[@hothead8852]

Famou$gang🔥🔥🔥

[@randysmith8433]

I would recommend a small air saw (if you have a compressor) much easier than the cutters

[@wigos688]

which fault code you will get with the check engine light? and when will it happen?

[@eddiegarcia4689]

Very good great job 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯👍🏆

[@eddiegarcia4689]

I have a x3 and have the same thing can I do that to

[@B0RRAC0]

TK you need the style 669M wheels on that car!!!! Saw them on a carbon black 540!! 😍

[@christopherbrown1183]

Cool bro

[@kirkcampbell9276]

Appreciate you seriously!!

[@aleskyfinis1025]

Nice

[@djzaki]

My issue with this mod is that the actuator still works in the background and when it does go out you'll still have a check engine light. I don't mind the active drill on my x7 but I do mind the check engine

[@Casino_flo]

How do you reset the cel light

[@patriot2q2q98]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mamoonmiah137]

Brilliant video pal. How do you put the motor in diagnostic mode?

[@TKsGarage]

Hit start stop 3 times fast

[@93rak]

@@TKsGarageI put in diagnostic mode, but the shutters didn’t open. Do I have to hit something to open them??

[@kirkcampbell9276]

So did you leave the connector plug in still or you removed the connector also?

[@giovannimignano4571]

leave it in

[@rain_master69420]

What M is this ?

[@unlucky1219]

4:40 did he open the active grills with the key? if yes how did he do it?

[@joshmccall7549]

He hit the start button 4 times

[@trishonya]

I got a code about my active grille shutter assembly to remove an object…do you think pressing the button 4 times would help it get going? Or help the object move?

[@griffin1167]

Carvana sold me a flood car and Ovb it wasn’t disclosed by them nor car fax’s they delivered it Thursday and I took it to the shop and they called me 30 mins later to say the car has been in a salt water flood. Idk if this story would interest you but let me know!

[@SandeepVerma-li9qg]

How does this mod affect performance? Aesthetically, the close look is better but I am wondering what the actual purpose of this mod is? Would you please clarify?

[@TKsGarage]

Keeps the car cooler. More boost

[@overgamer4162]

BMW used such a kidney for the car's aerodynamics. Below, where the air intake for the intercooler, it also has blades that manipulate the air flow. They programmed it so that when the engine temperature slightly increases (i.e. the need for high performance), it opens for air flow to cool the engine, but when you go faster and faster, the car will close the radiators because the air flowing from the bottom is sufficient to keep the temperature low, and additionally improves aerodynamics. So I would absolutely have to leave it, it is just spoiling some part of the car to get a nearly non-existent increase in performance. In addition, in the new BMW, the car looks better with the curtain closed

[@bmwsincekid]

8:09 all the respect i was afraid he scracthes the whole front bumper

[@johnp1040]

I do not like people messing with my cars. There is a reason why it was engineered that way. Altering the engineering makes me apprehensive.

[@jjojo2004]

Well, German engineers find the MOST complicated way for something that should be simple to work.

[@macho1657]

Hi i did all that but i still Have a code P05A9 i tried to reset with scanner but comes back .. Do i have to disconnect the battery????

[@Casino_flo]

Did you ever get the cel light off

[@evanedwar]

I have the same car with the same problem and my engine light is on what to do

[@zaaaaaaa9284]

Figure anything out ?

[@jasonkraft3558]

Oh my.. TK please don't make me ever have to watch something like that again that was scary for me and it's not even my car! Lol

[@FullBoltOnGarage]

😂😂😂

[@Dusek5]

I would love to do this on my G30 530d xDrive as well. They told me at the service center that my check engine light will be on forever. If I throw the car into diagnostic mode and do the adaptive grill removal, will everything be ok? And without the warning light? Thank you for the advice!

[@TKsGarage]

You don’t actually remove the module so it thinks the flaps are still there

[@vincenzamartinez9568]

I did that and I still have the codes abeit a different code . The ecu knows if the motor is over spinning. Meaning if the motor is spinning without resistance (stopping) at some point .

[@GoSlowToGoFastOG]

What is the advantage of doing this?

[@TKsGarage]

Car runs cooler

[@drasim881]

Can you not just disable the motor in open position so the fins stay open

[@marvinwilliams3295]

What is the purpose in this mod

[@strchild3]

full time cooling

[@vanjat563]

​@@strchild3 and wht about winter?

[@TKsGarage]

It’s 80 degrees in winter for me lol

[@edddiaz3508]

Where are u guys located I'll pay this man to do this to my car

[@TKsGarage]

Look up full bolt on m pack in the G30 USA group on Facebook

[@omerbahcecioglu5655]

JUST PULLOUT THE CABLE OF THE SERVO BEHIND THE KIDNEY U DONT NEED TO DAMMAGE THE KIDNEY, BECOUSE THE STANDBY MODUS IS ALWAYS OPEN IF U PULLOUT THE CABLE .AND ITS EASYER :)

[@kirkcampbell9276]

It will throw a engine code if you unplug the cable

[@vincenzamartinez9568]

I removed the entire assembly and replaced the motor and plugged it back in and it still throws a code lol the ecu knows if the motor is over spinning

[@vincenzamartinez9568]

I have a 2020 m550i

[@jasonh5220]

I think he scratched your bumper below the kidney left side.

[@steve9484]

Everyone asking “why do this?” - because they are not necessary and they make the car look like a piece of shit EV.

[@MaxiiProduction]

you guys know you can remove the adaptive grille no need to cut it off like that.

[@TKsGarage]

Not without a check engine light. If you unplug the module

[@Zhinar]

@@TKsGarage Can’t you just reset the codes then for it to turn off the check engine light?

[@vincenzamartinez9568]

You can remove the module from the assembly and zip tie it to the front end for a cleaner look but you’ll still get a code lol

[@That540iMSport]

You know there’s shutters on the bottom right?

[@TKsGarage]

Huh I don't see any on mine...

[@That540iMSport]

@@TKsGarage you have lower shutters that open and close not just the grill shutters

[@That540iMSport]

@@TKsGarage the thumbnail where the guys knee is at. There’s another set of shutters at the bottom

[@TKsGarage]

@@That540iMSport interesting mine doesn’t

[@That540iMSport]

@@TKsGarage look at your front grille and look all the way down In the middle by the bottom of the radiator there’s flaps that open and close there too

[@chadlehman4206]

call ne a dunbass but tk why are doing that for just wondering

[@nelsonwilliams1336]

Okay WTF is the purpose of doing this… everyone is a mod tech these days! The active grill has it’s design purpose
