Thanks for the video, the L322 (2001-2012) Range Rovers share the same subframe as the X5, so this tool and process works just as well for those - I bought the identical tool hence finding this video
No more clunk? Glad you took my advice to do the rear subframe bushings when the trans other bushings or mounts didn't resolve your clunk.😊 Very common problem on all E53s.
Yesss, thank you 🙏 problem solved!
I hoped I found your channel before I sold my 2004 X5 iL6.
JUST placed an order for some window regulator clips! Need them ASAP, I had bought a full VDO window regulator when it turns out it was this instead lol your channel is awesome. I’m a huge E46 guy, have had about 10 of them but having 3.0 X5 like yours has been…. Interesting lol still great cars, they just have there quirks. Deff going to buy this tool, I wanna refresh the truck since it’s easier to deal with these problems than a new cars cooling system/fuel system issues lmao
Hey, shipping out today! Thanks for your support, and feedback on the vids. More vids to come on this X5 soon! Just dealing with some mechanical surprises that has put me behind schedule on posting lately. Best luck with your build!
Good job ! my 2001 E53 3.0i X5 went through same rear sub frame bushings.
Would love to see a long term review of the Eonon player in the E39!
Nice job. I did this to my E53 without a tool, ended up to break 2ton jack and one 500-1000kg cargo cloth, and it took hours, even with the heating. I don't recommend to do this without a tool. I did put OEM style HD bushings made by Meyle, with 4y warranty, originals were there for 20y and 418tkm. I usually dislike aftermarket ones but these might be good because they seem soft enough and also bonus is this easy to install. That E53 looks amazing under the body. I am doing much rust off with mine as they salt roads on winter at here in Finland like a crazy.
Thanks for watching toughcookie, I hope you'll enjoy more of the E53 videos coming your way!
HERE you are! welcome back. great video. im looking to do the bushings in my e36.
You should! Poly all the way 💪
Mistrzu dobra robota, good job, ,pozdro z Poland fan X5e53 3.0 D 218km
Glad you're back! Looking forward to see your new content. Great video, BTW.
Around a $600 cdn job, just for labor. I provided the mechanic Lemforder rubber subframe bushings, almost went with PSB poly bushings. I hope you share your thoughts on NVH after the install and if it squeaks as I was afraid of squeaking poly bushings.
Good to see you back. Will check out your other channel!
Great you're back Chris. I was planning to send you a message about what's up. Me, I'm still waiting for a normal price for 6 index 12 injectors. But instead of going down in price they went up to $450 each, because of inflation they say at the dealership. Have a great weekend, Dutch regards, Nico.
Maybe a local junkyard, you could find a parts car to get injectors from? And I heard some shops offer cleaning on them, might save you a few bucks! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment Nico 🙂
@@TheBimmerBarn Hey Chris. No not possible, unfortunately. Sinds 2010 there are no junkyards where hole cars are parked. The owners have to disable the complete car and undo all liquids. The engines too, most of the time. And junkyards n54s are very rare in my region.
Nice Job and good work! I really like the look of the new bushings. It would be even better if they had other colors to choose from
I agree!
ayy glad to see ur back, looking forward to the content :) hopefully soon i’ll be picking up an e34 wagon and then down the road i wanna try my first ever swap - s52 from a donor e36 m3 😮
S52 swapped e34 wagon is gonna be awesome
Made it look so easy man good work
The tool made it easy! And didn't have to remove the subframe, save a lot of time. Thanks for watching, Alper!
Yeah!!! Great to see you again!!
Thanks Johannes, good to be back :)
The link to the e39 tool is dead. Can you please repost? Great video Thanks!
We back!
£450 in the UK for those bushes!! I have some pf bushes and know the used to be pricey and they went up but that is crazy money 😮
Woot woot! Welcome back-
Thanks TJ!
Great job! looking forward to this upgrade myself, fellow floridian! maybe sell me your removal/install tool?
Been a while buddy, we neeed a video !
Check out my personal channel in the meantime, but I'll have some content out soon here too!
What is the inside diameter of the sleeve? Also the outside diameter of the discs? Thank in advance for your response
great video..... question... do you think this tool would work on an e39 subframe ( sedan) the bushings look very close to the same diameter? I know you have a e39 M5 Wagon so you have worked with both chasis. Curious to hear your thoughts
thanks!
ayy i missed seeing your content!
Hey Chris! Very curious on how the Fiat has done on Turo. Thinking of doing the same thing with my wife if it means we can get a secondary car for low-cost . Interesting in hearing your story up to date . Hope all is well!
Yeah I'm considering doing a follow up video, thanks for expressing your interest!
What is your car lift system?
Excellent video!! do you know if they make a tool for the 335i e90?
I have a link in the description to a couple of E90 tools that should work the same way, hope that helps!
I posted a 3d printed request in the last video? (E39 phone slot replacement) I have a second request for you to 3d print. Not sure how big you can go? I want a 4" turbo inlet that holds a flat filter to fit behind a e36/e46 top mount.
