You are only downshifting. Annoying still. U have to remap your ECU. 😊

I picked up the Makita 3 inch polisher and i am new to polishing, I have bird poo spots that have baked in the heat for awhile and I didn't want to over pokish since im new. I only went over it with a regular polisher but maybe I can give it one more try to lighten up its visibility

so a yet to be installed viscus fan turns freely. phew.. installing one on an engine thought it was fubared. still may be. but at rest cold. it should spin.. More to check... hmmm... mine spins free a shiat. but it has been off the engine for a monthhs so it presently may have no oil in the passages. hmmm.. so how to test one where oil is likely not in the passages at all. ???

I’ve just replaced these gaskets on the M62 in my 840Ci Sport. I thought I was as careful as I could be, given that as you know, in the E31 the back-end of the engine is tucked in right against the bulkhead and you can’t see it. I thought I was successful…..but guess what? I’ve noticed oil on the garage floor! 😢 I can’t actually see or even feel where it’s coming. So, I’m going to give your tip a go and see what happens. I don’t relish the prospect of having to pull everything apart again…..bad back! Thanks for the tip!

Your lesson is more informative can you please explain further on how to position the essentric camshaft when installing the motor

Is that fixing?

I have the issue that passenger window is stuck halfway. Wont go up or down

Amazing vid as always Timm!

Hi Timm, I just watched your video on e38 keys and wondered if you know whether it’s possible to replace my original style key with the later diamond style key?

Hi Tim. I follow your posts on youtube. I need some advice. I own a 1992 E31 850i with a manual transmission. I want to restore the wiring to the tilting headlights, which is damaged by the heat. But I can't disassemble the round 7-pin connector. They couldn't advise me at BMW either. Don't you have a trick on how to proceed when disassembling the connector? I will be grateful for your advice. Greetings Milo

Thanks for the video. I was hoping to share a photo of the dash display that says: "ABS 4x4; AWD; DSC; ABS; and EMERG EBV malfunction! Limited driving stability. Drive moderately. Have the system checked." On my 2008 X5 Any pearls to share?

Thanks!

Thank you so much for this detailed explanation!

Hey Timm. Are you putting any additives to maintain the value seals?

Excellent stuff, Timm. Your videos are top notch!

HI Tim, great videos and presentation, thank you. Looks like you have my same car, 2004 e64 Chiareto as well. I have not a little over 177,000 miles on it. Yesterday i received what seems to be the dreaded SOS call system malfunction! My BMW "On Call" ofcourse ended years ago. I understand this model did not require a better for the SOS function, do you know if i can use Carly to turn off this message? Can i just try to purchase another TCU and change it out, won't know the life though of the second hand one, i'd be happy to turn off the message. I did see a video about turning off the TCM code 612 , maybe as these cars continue to age , this might be a great video? I'd appreciate you comments, and actually just connecting. Especially since have the same car, and care for it as i have over these 20 + years. Thanks again

Just discovered your channel. I thought you were the great David Ike at first glance 😊

Time, you are the best! I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now, anticipating the day one of these problems will arise on my E64. The Boseman poke saved the day! You're the best! 😊

I have a 2000 e38 that via INPA says there is a line break to the front left speed sensor, however I have tried pulling my own wire and the problem persists. I also swapped the sensor without change. My lights don't come on when I first put the key in but instead as soon as the wheels start rotating even slightly! Any idea?

Thank you

very informative video sir!

Thanks Tim, I have the same annoying issue, will have a go at it thanks to your video!

what about kick-down? is it meant to that "high power for some second", it give full throlle and changer 1-2 gear lower

For me the E31still looks better in mora metallic, but this is a stunning example! I've never seen an interior like that, they've covered absolutely everything in leather.

Tim what do you think of an overall quite nice 840ci, but with significant rusting around three of the inner edges of the wheel arches, I guess due to years on salted British roads. The car mechanics/paintwork is quite good everywhere else/inside and out. Can much be done with wheel arches these days?, mostly where they form the edge lip, there is not too much bubbling visible side on. I don't know much about body repairs, but maybe magic can be done by a good body shop, or would you avoid?

Timm, fff topic-ish; you mentioned a recall of your 650i cab. As I have a 2008 model I might be at risk of fire too. Could you tell me what to look for please? What area to check. Much obliged.

Hi I have a 735 with n62 and the values ​​of the input shafts are 90 degrees, the output shafts are 120 degrees. Is this normal because you say the input shaft should be at 100 degrees

Whats the expected life of a Cam shaft sensor? I had this exact problem on my E31 some years back, had it replaced. Drove the car for a few years after and then it's been off road (in storage) since, so I am wondering how long the new sensor should last before I might expect to perhaps meet this problem again? What a wonderful channel and stunning knowledge of classic BMW's. Please do keep going Tim.

...funny idea instead of... ...drive fast enough => then no water will come into the rear window-opening ! BytheWay => I love this rear window for longer trips in summertime on the "Autobahn" in certain climate conditions => you get much better "fresh" air as from the air-condition and you have nearly no noise => E64 => best car evert!

Hello Timm, watching your video I just get an impulse to go down to the garage and have a look at the timing-chain in my 650 cab, cause my last Oil-Change must be years ago... => ...is it a "bad sign", if the aluminum of the bearing-housing beside the chain is still clear (and looks silver-grey like aluminum-cast is looking when it's new) => so mine has no "golden curtain" in front? (...as seen in your video ;-) My 650 is from 2006, bought it in 2010 with 60.000km and drove it until 2013 up to about 90.000km Since then I only drove few 100km per year = about 5.000km in total (due to wife, kids, house, garden, etc :-) Watching your clip I got feelings to change my oil immediately => but looking at the attached sticker "...last Oil-Change in 2015" => I think I can rest down for one year and reach the "Decade" ;-) P.S.: nice Color of yours (it's "Barbera rot metallic", right ?) - mine is "Malachit-Grün" (would say: black-green-mineralic-flittering) with black "Pearl-Leather" E64's are like good wines - the older they get - the better they are !!!

Great video Timm. Thanks

Life saver! Thank you for the great video.

Hi what was the name of the website you got your mirror glass from ?

yeah it's just the centre bit for the steering wheel. must've taken a while to find another light coloured one

Hi E39 528i 1998 Light Control Mode (LCM) Where I can have it checked and reprogrammed if needed? Any good garage you can recommend?! Thank you!

Thanks Tim - really appreciate your videos, I think they're great!

10:54 it is NOT the Easter-Egg Mode it is just disabling the DSC button and if you just press the DSC button that is for snow starting and icey uphils (DTC: OFF DSC: ON) hold the button all OFF

Absolutely fantastic video. I’m thinking about a 645 and have come across a O4 manny up for sale about 1.5 hrs away. 95k on clock but MOT history mentions oil leak as an advisory for past 3 MOTs / few thousand miles. Does that sound bearable or walk away?

Hi Timm. Thank you for this really useful video. Worth noting that your method also gives access to the PDC sensors in the front bumper. It enabled me to swap out my middle left sensor that was not working. Unfortunately, the sensor still does not work so I'm thinking it must be a wiring issue!... unless you have any other ideas?!

Another great video. You're a clever man. 👏

Hi, I have a 2009 116i N43 engine would this quick fix work on that?

Does switching it to DS mode and back do any damage ? I feel like I shouldn't do it very often, although it feels needed when I need the power.

Put the blooming radio back in !!.. looks like the steering wheel airbag cover was painted odd

The E31 is a stunning car.

great story, thanks for sharing it!

She is a hard worker!! Great job. Don't think it was over board. More!

The older 80-90s bimmer prices are going up. I used to get 3, 5, 7 series and Z3 cars for less than $3k. Now people want twice that for shit boxes that need a lot of repairs.

Hello! Just discovered your channel. I live in the US (California) and have a 1993 850Ci that I love, 3rd owner, 135K miles, had it since 2007 and, as my mechanic says, I will be buried in it - not due to accident but because I will never let it go. I knew that jumping was a bad idea, but since mine is currently dead due to being out of town and not driving it and so happy I saw your video. I will invest in 2 new batteries to be safe. An aside, I watched your vid of getting your car back after accident and you mentioned the headliner sagging. I just got mine done at my local BMW specialist (Coast Motor Werk) and it looks amazing - they did an ultrasuede that matches my gray interior perfectly and apparently will "never" sag. They did an amazing job. I also had the bushings replaced since apparently my engine was resting on my exhaust system. Very different drive after, and I'm not sure I like it since I was not used to a bouncy ride. Mine is silver OG color that is super faded. I am considering Techno Violet (individual color) but love the Maura metallic that you have. Thank you for the videos and the detailed information.

Thank you for making this video. That eBox is also on the passenger side for the US version and is a b!tch to move. I will be cleaning my drains as well.

So useful. Still a struggle to do with reaching past the wheel but so much better to know what movements I need to achieve when working at funny angle and essentially doing it by feel.
