Manual Transmission Oil & LSD Oil Change for BMW E90 E92 E93 M3

[@IHC_23]

Do you happen to remember the part number of that connector you used to power the transmission oil pump?

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hello MH thank you very much for the question! I love searching for the part numbers. Please search "bmw connector 75075279 872406-501A" and there will be plenty used connectors available. I have to go back to check my raw videos for the part number. However, I could only find that this is made by Honha Autoparts in China. Seems like it's not easy to get a new one🤔

[@IHC_23]

@@funcarsgoodpeople Thank you for getting back to me. I was able to find one on eBay from a used parts seller.

My wife asked me why I am watching video on my knees!!!!!! Well done, Carl!

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hahaha 😆 Thank you Kevin! I want to do better next time!

Please always open the fill plug first on transmissions. If you drain first and something happens to prevent you from removing the fill plug you will have an immobilized car with no way to get fluid back in. Same with differentials. Fill plugs first. I know the chances are low that something bad will happen to the fill plug but all it takes is once to have a VERY unpleasant experience.

Hi Mark thank you for this valuable tip! You are right and this should be written into the service manual 😆 I will include this tip in the future video. See you soon!

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hi thank you very much for the comment 😊 my pleasure to share. Also happy to meet another DIY lover! About the heated steering wheel, OE looks great isn't it 😎

@@funcarsgoodpeople I'm not to sure if you have heard or seen but you can retro fit F82 m4 seats in a e9x M3. Will be a nice addition add , from what I know is you just need to change a few pins in the module under the seat

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Yes I've heard some guys have F8xM seats in the 9xMs. Taiwan is always so hot I'd like to have those hollow back rests 😊

[@TheSkabz]

@@funcarsgoodpeople If you could do a video of installation that would be perfect if you decide to go that route💯🔥💥,

Hello friend, hope you've topped up the engine oil after track day and tested the oil!

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hi Arjun thank you! I changed and topped up the oil after the track day. Now the M3 is in “precautionary sleep” for two months 😅😅 The oil sample has arrived at the lab. Hopefully we’ll receive the report next Monday. I’ll keep you updated 🤗 Take care 👊👊

[@Simpleboneguy]

@funcarsgoodpeople my car has a misfire coming from Cylinder 8. I've just had the 5 and 6 ignition coils replaced. Very frustrating.

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hello Arjun, have you swapped cyl. 8 coil with others? Can it be a bad coil?

[@Simpleboneguy]

@@funcarsgoodpeople I'm going to get it done this Thursday.

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hi Arjun how are you? Finally I received the oil report. It says everything is normal. The engine oil looked good! Like I said the I cannot always be so lucky so I must drive the M3 with a lot of care in the future. I will make a video to talk about my oil reports now and in the past. See you soon!

內六角洩油螺絲滑牙？是因為鋁材質太軟？ 還是工具嵌入深度不足？看工具痕跡應該有確實嵌入沒錯呀....

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

嗨Ethan謝謝你的留言喔！工具有確實嵌入喔！我確定的是鋁材太軟，因為包了鐵氟龍膠布，又鎖到指定扭力，就把螺絲撐爆了。現在螺絲還沒拆下來，前天看沒漏油。 我有買磁性螺絲來「升級」😆 到時候看看牙有沒有滑，再拍片跟大家報告囉 🤗

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

嗨Ethan螺絲拆下來了喔！牙沒有崩，只有裂中心的位置。歡迎看看最新的影片喔 🤗 kzbin.info/www/bejne/noasYmWNaad9mNU

22 mm hex bit is WRONG, its a 14 mm

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hello Ralph thank you very much for the notice! I will make correction in the description!

[@bernardbarbour]

I don't have a computer to run the transmission pump. Is it okay to leave it alone? Thanks for your great content.

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hi Bernard I think it's okay to leave it alone but I prefer to completely change the oil to keep the system clean. According to the Aftersales Training manual for E92 M3, the gearbox oil pump will be activated when gearbox oil reaches around 110°C. However the engine oil does not go that high often, and the gearbox oil temperature is expected to be lower, the gearbox oil pump is not running that often. I guess this is why I had a lot of dark oil remaining in the cooling circuit, even after I changed fresh gearbox oil few km ago.

Can you link what kind of battery you used

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

Hi David thank you for the question. Any 12 volt battery will work. I used a jump-starter power bank from Philo EBC-9701 (but it is discontinued.) Here is just an example www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Jump-Starters/zgbs/automotive/318336011

[@funcarsgoodpeople]

@@DLam02 Hi David, I checked the wiring diagram on ISTA, the wire from DME to the gear box oil pump, the gauge is 0.75 mm^2.
