Making our F15 X5 drive like a BMW (goodbye basic suspension)
There are vertain rules in life you have to follow. You say please and thank you. You don't cut your own hair (unless you're shaving it) and you don't buy a BMW without sport suspension. Well by accident I made an ass out of myself by assuming the Msport package included sport suspension. No, it doesn't and it just doesn't ride the way a proper BMW should ride. So I resolved this with a set of Eibach springs. Enjoy the install.

e9x m3 alibaba exhaust, is it worth it?
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Год назад
My E90 M3 came with the Alibaba valved exhaust. I personally love it. Quiet during regular driving, keeping my neighbors happy and noticeably louder when you want to have a bit more fun. I haven't had any issues with it, has been working properly for about a year I've had the car. Please note this is not an install video, just some sound clips.

The BMW N55 engine is a fantastic engine, but as it ages it will require maintenance just like any other engine. certain repairs will come with additional challenges. Lack of access is always a challenge and sometimes a simple repair turns into a time consuming and unnecessary expensive fix. This is the case with the n55 alternator replacement (assuming n54 as well). The alternator is fairly ea...

Welcome to the channel. Just a few small upgrades in this video, gloss front grille and a 10mm spacer in the back. But things don't always work out. If you were confused if the e90, e92 and e93 M3 share the same grill or if the e90 had its own. Well, they do share the same grill, because they also share the same bumper. This grille I purchased off Amazon and it stated it was for an e92/93, and ...

What. A. beauty.
You need to have removed the cap and other parts off the original first
No you don’t need to cut nothing bro just take the air compressor out than the plate and the alternador
Not on this car. You have to remove, oil filter housing and cooler.
You video was awesome! Totally helped me get it out but can’t get the new one in, any tips?
Just got 18x9.5 +35 with 275 tire in rear of my f30 with hr sport spring do u think this will rub?
I think you will be fine for the rear, but it's been a while since I've had the f30 at this point.
@@driverswantedtv ok sounds good bro thank u also no camber so hopefully it goes well
I didn’t extend the front one enough and completely bent and ruined the drivers side molding, I am so upset. I can’t get it to slide out more.
Sorry to hear that
@@driverswantedtv I tried to loosen the bolts again and got it to come out more. They fit great now. Thank you for the video.
can a third row from junk yard car be installed in a non third row x5?
Couldn't answer for sure. I'm not sure if everything is there in the non 3rd row model. Mounting holes and additional support. It would be more than just the seat.
Dude thank you so much!!!! I found a good deal on F30 roof rack and I have an e90 this video really helped me out to make sure it would fit 100%!! Definitely got a sub from me thank u soo much!!!!
My pleasure, glad I could help
Dear,Each led bulb watts ?
I removed my old alternator by cutting plastic from intake manifold but still kept the nipple without fully sawing it off. The plastic nipple is where the engine cover bottom right corner snaps in to. I also cut 1/2in from connector that’s on the alternator that sticks out. Then I removed the alternator. I had to sand down bottom right and top left corners from new alternator at least 1/16th. So that I had enough clearance for the OFHG (top alt.) and also allowing bottom side of alt. to slide in to place easier. I did not have to remove a/c compressor Or metal bracket behind a/c compressor. I made sure not to sand off too much so that the new alternator fit nice and snug. I used a rubber matter to line up the alternator bolt holes. I did not have to cut connector from new alternator. Took me 1 hr to do this job without removing intake manifold. 2014 bmw f30 n55
Camber plate are allowed.. also tüv, ST XTA . kW v3 clubsport etc
I was told by several supplier that camber plates were not tuv approved and could not be sold with coilovers. If things have changed that’s great. I have seen XTA now come with camber plates, I don’t think they were available at the time of this video. Either that’s great.
How the heck did you get the new one BACK IN ??? Ive gotten the old one out via the hack and shaving some plastic off of that plastic post. But i CANNOT get the new alternator to slip back into the "bottom bracket".
Honestly it's been a while, but just had to fiddle with it. I think there was only one way
Any tips to get the new one in? Tried for a hour and still can’t get the new one to fit
These are the best led h7's Ive had so far! 6000k is the best color for brightness!
These just came in the mail today lol
Is that Estoril Blueb
Yes it is
24 mins THEN you drop the bombshell….hmmm
I know hard ask now a days.
@@driverswantedtv Appreciate your time helping out strangers on the internet!
I couldn’t get the new bulb to set in there . Wouldn’t click in , was loose :/
Should be tight. Are you sure you have it in the right orientation?
@@driverswantedtv turns out the new led lights don't fit and needed some type of setting. I got them from auto zone had to return and just add the normal lights.
Man if I could find a white BMW 328i with black interior.
I am bit of a sucker for white German cars.
Is this the lime green color? Do you have an Amazon link? Looks great!
Yes it is. Looks better than their sample. G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint Kit - High Gloss, Wear and Heat Resistant, Epoxy Paint System - Dries Hard, No Flaking or Fading Lime Green G2171 a.co/d/5fRoOns
@@driverswantedtv thanks so much!! It looks great in the video. Will be grabbing this for my white 23’ supra. Should go nice with the OEM gunmetal wheels!
You brought up an interesting point not a lot of people realize when it comes to BMW's and a few other luxury manufacturers. There is the base price of the vehicle then BMW nickles and dimes you to the tenth degree in a zillion different package options.
bought a 2017 330i last month! so far happy with my purchase
Did you notice an increase in fuel consumption and do you notice any wind noise with the rack on?
Yes you get some wind noise, but nothing terrible. You get used to it and forget it's there. I drove it up and down a twisty mountain and had a lot of fun, my mpg was already suffering. With a roof box on long road trips it drops 2 mpg. Just a rack has to be very marginal if any.
thanks for the tip (hack), my tip is to replace the voltage regulator first
I had the system tested 1st. But yes, one of the fail points as well.
Won’t the DRLS @ brights still be yellow?
Do they attract and hold more moisture and dirt? I just wonder if it's going cause excessive wear on the factory side skirt.
Moisture I don't think so, I can see dirt getting in there over time just like any lip. Power wash it out.
What did you do with the wiring for the heater
What heater? There's only an electric fan. If that's what you are referring to, you just push it under, towards the rear bumper.
Bro sounds heartbroken to sell it. 💔😔
Yeah I was bummed for sure.
@@driverswantedtv You can always get a very nice specimen of e39 - maybe 540i. Not as spec'ed as your former M5 - but still nice to drive and fairly lush.
@@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040 I picked up an e90 m3 about a year ago. Also trying to find e39 touring/wagon.
@@driverswantedtv I have an e39 525d touring, would like to buy a saloon version later. With petrol prices in England being as silly as they currently are it has to be a 525i version though, any bigger engine would be hurting my wallet rather handsomely. ⛽ 💷 🤔
@@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040 I live in a very hilly area, nothing I own gets better than 13-14mpg.
ruclips.net/video/9B1T_11j21U/видео.html This another video for rear seat removal on x5 50i.
I have a simple but important question that maybe you can help me with. I have driven/owned an e30 325is and an e90 sedan, but am considering a 2014 335xi M-Sport with a 6-Speed. So it's literally the best 3-Series F30 you can buy without going to the M3. My question is, does this car in "Sport Plus" mode feel as nimble and buttoned-down as the much loved e90 generation? This is really important to me as I am thinking of buying that car online without ever driving one. And I have heard a lot of complaints online and on RUclips that BMW has lost it's way with the chassis dynamics, and too much body roll. Thanks to all that respond! -Dave
That is a good question. I recommend going to drive one to be sure. The e90 and f30 feel very different. My experience with e90 is a 328i sport and m3. F30 328i. Now I have 2 x5s with n55 engines and xdrive. So parts of what you're looking at. I would not say the e90 328i handled better than f30 328i. The f30 felt more nimble and light, and much quicker. Between the 328i variants I preffer the f30 overall, especially in msport trim. E90 sounded better in stock form. Quality is probably a bit better as well. I like the steering in the f30. Get rid of the run flats asap, car drives much better with proper tires. Also sport plus is not much different than sport, just traction off from what I recall.
@@driverswantedtv Thank you for responding brother! I appreciate your thoughts. Take care!
There's nothing beats the sound of these 9x M3 downshifts, dont care if they aren't fast like the new ones, there's no other cars like these M3
Agreed. Much more of an experience.
As others have mentioned, you put it on wrong. You need to remove the original knob top black part and silver ring thereafter before putting the new parts on
Shitty introduction but a good review
The only thing i think its really bad in f30 r the seats. Too damn shalow......i mean in a bit harder curvs the seat cant hold a driver in place. B4 the bmw i had an Alfa GT and the seats r awsome. Stock seats not sport aftermarket seats. And a sound sistem too. Bose original with amp and woof in the trunk.......bmw sound sistem sux. Dont know how is harman cardon but standard sound is really bad.
Do you have the sport seats or the regular ones?
@@driverswantedtv regural. But what i have seen even the sport r not much better
@@adrianobrumat7600 sport are much better, I will never buy a bmw without the sport seats.
should change the title to,,, 5 things that are super picky illogical about a car that doesn't have the mentioned problems.
How is the cargo/cabin space compared to your e39? Read those new G20s are about the same size as an e39. An F30 would presumably be a little less roomier.
My g20 experience is very limited. I would say the f30 was pretty much the same as the e39 inside wise and trunk space. Also the truck in a bit more accessible, since the back is a bit higher. For me the f30 was a perfect size.
i have a F33, without a rear cam, does the wiring loom contain the cable that i can connect to?
I don’t know, you will have research it, you may need to add a module.
Can you add the link to this specific one?
I can't fid the exact one, and I see there are much more bolt on ready ones on there now. Keep in mind I didn't buy mine it came with the car. It's similar to this, but mine has longer pipes behind the muffler. Not sure if there was more to it to start with. m.alibaba.com/product/62552338378/H-Type-Muffler-Single-Inlet-Dual.html&fromSite=wap&ck=share_detail
Under 6 second 0-100, very good fuel consumption, amazing 8speed gearbox. It does have some negatives but idk, i feel like it has way more positives.
F30 335i are so good
I would buy one. If I didn't get my e90 m3, I was looking into either a 335i or 340i.
The pre-LCI engines all have weird idle sounds, but the LCI engines fixed it. The B48 and B58 both sound fantastic at idle, and the B48 is so much smoother than the N20 that there really isn't a meaningful way to compare them.
Thanks for sharing, I haven't had any experience with the newer engines.
@@driverswantedtv I've personally experienced the B58 in an F30 340i and a B48 in an F31 330i, and both are excellent. My experience with the N20 was on a pre-LCI F30, and the N55 on an LCI E90. Both are good engines, they just don't quite sound like the pre-direct injection engines.
I own a 2012 f30 335i and I'm the second owner. It's has 87k on it and I'm just trying to get all the maintenance done so it can last me. It's not my daily so I'm planning on doing some nice mods to it.
Hey would you know if 19x8.5 et30 square would fit on an F30?
I believe it would.
I'm not really enjoying my F30. It doesn't do sport or luxury well, at all. The G20 generation seems like what the F30 should have been -- much more sorted out.
What are you expecting? I can go round small roundabouts at 50mph. 0-60 under 6 seconds. the roads in my area are mostly as bad or worse than dirt, and the suspension deals with the bumps and unevenness adequately even in sport mode. Maybe yours is just clapped out?
@@adifferentangle7064 - Drive a G20 and you'll see what I mean.
i own a 328i ix drive F30 as well and i love it .. i dont need the extra speed for an extra 10 grand because i am not racing anyone .. i could easily upgrade for $1500 with a few aftermarket tweeks and make it just as fast or faster than the 335 if i was interested in speeding.
you installed it wrong. you have to remove parts of the original knob. there's videos on RUclips that show how to remove the parts. if you search bmw idrive controller knob it'll come up.
Not this one. But you could be right. I sold the car so I can’t check now.
twinpower is twin turbo i one turbo body
Twin power is a twin scroll single turbo on the n55. N54 was a twin turbo but did not come in the x5 at least in the states. There’s also a v8 twin turbo. But twinpower is a reference a twin scroll turbo, not twin turbo.
hey great video. question, does the timing issue still happen for 2017 and up 320D?
They say up 2015 on the gasoline engine, haven't heard much on the diesel.
I own an 335i F30 amd I love it!!!
nice video but, there is no wheels except the M5 original wheels
Lol, I had those too.
Great comparison video, i own an f30 328 and they are definitely still a great budget option compared to the 335i. The 328i is pretty quick and peppy stock and are very impressive once you add a tune.
