Is this car salvageable with all that rust? Looks like that subframe could collapse any minute. Glad to see you back, love your videos.
@bimmer.doctor11 ай бұрын
Thank you! Yes, this is actually on the better side of what you can expect for a 10 year old salt belt car. Trust me, I have seen cars where the subframe was actually about to collapse at any minute. This one will be more than fine after we clean it up and recoat it which i’ll show in one of the later parts.

I bought the same exact car not running a month ago ('13 328 x drive but N26) for cheap and also dealing with a bunch of issues but got it running and timing chain and guides are still good at least for the moment!
@bimmer.doctor8 ай бұрын
Glad to hear you got the car running! At 10 years old, I would definitely replace them sooner rather than later…
@mascho228 ай бұрын
Yes but dreading having to drop the subframe to do the job without a proper hydraulic lift... It's got 85k miles now so hoping it will last another 5 or 10k
@bimmer.doctor8 ай бұрын
@mascho22 If you’re just doing the guides and chain, you don’t need to drop the subframe fully. It’s definitely easier if you can but i’ve done them more than once without. Check out FCP euros N20 timing chain videos, they do it all in the car. To be fair, it’s not an xDrive car, but it helped me a lot when I did it for the first time. Either way, good luck!
@mascho228 ай бұрын
Can you elaborate a little more? If you are just partially lowering subframe you still have to disconnect most everything off it correct? I have the valve cover off and found a small piece missing in the upper guide so think I need to replace it now after all. Looks like replacing just the upper guide set is possible (if one wanted to) without having to remove oil pan and all the bottom stuff...
@mascho228 ай бұрын
Yes I did see the fcp video along with a few others but x drive always seems to require full removal of sub frame

I have a 2015 bmw n20 with a crank no start after replacing 4 injector I did do the coding check for spark and fuel ok I have low compression 90psi on 4 cylinder it’s crazy because car was running any tips on what to check
@bimmer.doctor7 ай бұрын
Hi there, maybe there's a problem with the way the injector was installed. Did you replace the teflon seals and decoupling element (silver ring)? If the car was running fine before and only afterward there's an issue, it has to be something related to the install, but if the car was already running badly before, it could be anything...

Yes, Montreal is right! If you like the F31, keep an eye out as I have some very interesting content coming up on one in the next few months.
