Your attention to detail doing the maintenance work is proper OCD.
always wondered how hard is it to work on such a car.
keep the videos coming 😊
It's nice to see that BMW still puts an oil dipstick. Many modern premium manufacturers don't do that anymore.
2008 e65 don't have oil dipstick
7 series but no garage. 😢. You have some great skills. Nice video.
You have to be a professional BMW tech to work the way you do! If you are not then you are simply damn good as I know it must have taken years coupled with talent to perform that service so effortlessly!
The ‘bmw techs’ at the dealership are some students who passed a 2 week course. The real mechanics are working in specialist garages.
@@ahmadmohamad6384 if you look at the bmw website you see they need to finish a 3/4 year school
Great job filming!
I often wonder why people are inclined to use OEM stuff, when the OEM control arms and brakes were the ones that failed so early. I machined all four rotors this morning on my new-to-me '18 540i. I have a brake lathe. After machining, they were still way, way thicker than the spec. Maybe it's a snob appeal thing to not machine rotors, or shop mechanics don't want to chance a comeback, so they use only new parts, but there is a practical way to service these vehicles without breaking the bank. The rotors don't know if they are new, they only know if they are flat and parallel.
Great job!
No, they failed due to having those horrible factory-issued Pirelli Runflats. I got rid of mine 1 month ago and the car is a lighter, smoother ride. Easier on those control arms.
Awesome work bud. You are so thorough. I like that - probably a lot more careful as well than most mechanics. Can I pay you to do the servicing on my M760Li?
Thank you for appreciation, but sorry I can't accept your offer. I'm working just only on my cars.
@@martinandmechanic Completely understand, no worries at all. Good luck with the vids, they're great.
It is very hard finding a mechanic to service your car carefully
Well done! Looking forward to next videos!
Thank you.
Amazing video from a G11 740d owner 🫡
Amazing work man, you did like a professional. Next time you should stop the suspension system when you lift your car by holding the button 7 seconds to prevent any damage to the sensors.
Thank you, yes you’re right, that’s the standard procedure, but actually in my case I have to raise up the suspension first, because I’m struggle with putting a jack under the chassis, so that’s why I’m not stopping the suspension, but I never had a issue with that and even when the car is in a workshop, they usually don’t know about that procedure, unless you tell them.
About to do my oil change on my 750 , this video is great . Made me realize I was over thinking it haha
How often do you need to replace the control arms and brakes?
I hope there is a maintenance video for 2019 BMW 750i, thank you
Great video. I will do my rear brakes now although I did notice a discrepancy. The rear brakes are supposed to be backed down via the rear electric motor. Electric motor cover is supposed to come off and with a torx released and then you can use the clamp to compress the brake piston. Without doing this first you risk damaging the E-brake.

Your video helps me a lot to know about 2016. 730 D g11 diesel maintainence and parts location 👍
very good..You are amazing and you work knowingly. In an easy way. Thank you
Almost spent the whole day today doing the front brakes Esspecially the right side
Seized caliper pins and brake pads? 👀
I neither drive a BMW 7, nor i plan on this kind of self service but i could not close the video... Thoroughly enjoyable... Don't know why :s
As a new subscriber I’m thoroughly enjoying the content! Absolutely love the 7er is this a 30d?
Thank you, yes it's 730d
Those filters were filthy
Absolutely great video again! You handled everything like you knew exactly what you were doing, are you a BMW technician? Hope you’re underpaid mechanic enjoyed the blueberry muffins! 😋
Thank you, I’m not the BMW technician, just a car enthusiast.
We’re both enjoying the blueberry muffins 😂
I wrench my car, this was great to watch. Volvo S40 owner.
This is really meticulous work. Thanks a lot!!!!
I have benefited greatly from your video. a super sharing and a super explanation. Thank you.
thank you nice see that work
Thanks from Seattle...thanks from 1997 BMW Z3 2.8 ;)
You're welcome.
this is my dreamcar, now i have f11...next will be G11!!
Wish I can remember and do this if I need to hopefully I don’t this look like a lot
Love love love this !!!! I need you to do mine fantastic knowledge and honesty
Great video. Can you explain why the run flats are causing worn out control arms?
Hello. I own a G11 740d xDrive air suspension vehicle. When lifting, can I lift without setting a separate air suspension jack mode? And when replacing the fuel filter, is it not necessary to crank after installing a new filter? You are very good
I am actually surprised that you had to change some of your suspension components at only 34k miles, are there anything wrong with originals or?
First service after 33k miles- bravo mate!!!, what's wrong with ppl this days. Not surprised that car engines, turbo's etc. last only 50k..you all listens that BS what dealers says.
Hello, could you please tell me the socket sizes needed for the oil drain plug and the oil filter housing?
Is liqui moly good idea?? For this car. Shouldn’t be Castrol?? BMW recommends.
It’s a personal choice, just different branding, important is specification of oil.
Great content! How did the Brembo discs performed? Did they warped? Any vibration when braking after a while ?
Thank you, yes they warped again after a while, to be honest I was never happy with the Brembo brand
Great video
while turning in the rotors you work wrong. you need to keep the plate steady, not turning...
furthermore you did a nice thing!
love your work man.
Good video. I have a 2017 G30
What is difference in your country in oem and aftermarket filters and parts and they gave me discount so i choose genuine ones,since the difference is slight between oem and aftermarket.
I bought a 2015 dec 7 series , (65 plated ) with just 29,000miles on the clock the car sitted a lot of time in the garage as the first owner was always on holiday with His caravan in spain , checked that the miles are real and everything was perfect , after 2 days after I bought the car “ chasis “ error was coming up for just 20 seconds and then it was disspaearing it kept Doing this As I was Doing 80mph and switching from sport to confort and So on … when I checked At check control it was fine and the error was showing up over there , the car has its battery changed , and doesnt present Any other problems execept this however today the car acted normally and perfect , what Could it caused the car to bring me up this error ?
Great Video!!! For my 2019 BMW 750 I was quoted the following for service performed by BMW mechanic..Im still shopped around and was able to get the following done in () by different mechanics in my area.
Front breaks: $1450 ($1,150)
Rear Breaks: $1200 ($980)
Arm Control: $1400 (still looking)
Oil Change: $225 ($175)
Rear Flex Disk: $1100 (still looking)
Did not think to get roll bars changed. At what mileage should spark plugs and coils be replaced I’m hearing at 60k miles and 100k miles?!?!
Why do arm control need to be replaced so often ?
excellent video, subbed.
THE BEST VIDEO. Excellent excellent. Very informative. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Thanks for this video
Hello, Martin
Do you not need to grease the back side of the brake pad? (On the shims) because all other vehicles or on other brake job videos mostly apply grease but it doesnt seem to be the same on BMW's. Im just very curious and confused. Thanks!
Nice work 👍
Thank you.
Where bmw full oil power steering 7s 2016 ?
Find a independent shop. I have saved several thousand, I still take my car to the BMW dealership for a oil change from time to time just to have a reason to check out the inventory lol.
Wow Great Job 👏
This might be useful for you. The engine oil is said to be changed on 30 000 km ( Europe) by the manufacturer (recently the reduced to 15 or 20 k I think), BUT in the ideal conditions which means highway at 80 mph and for around 2 months time period. The oil used for B57D30... (730d, 740d, 750d) is correct to be measured by working ours not by mileage (but is more user friendly for average customer). The standard is 350 working hours in ideal conditions. Average for daily use 150-200 hours or around 7000-8000 km or 4-8 months. One more BUT specifically for 750i (4.4 l) engine oil on every 5 000 km.
No wonder, with reduce capacity of engine oil for 3-litre engine. For E65 it used to be 9.5l and now with F01 and G11 only 6.5l of engine oil.
@@martinandmechanic Correct. Hopefully I do no mistake that all ...30,40,50 diesel engines after 2008,9 are with 6.5 l capacity
@@backupmanagement7420 Yes, that's correct.
Are you BMW technician or you work in a BMW as repairman or you study BMW parts and maintainence by your self ?
I’m just a enthusiast into the top tech flag ships, still learning new things while I’m working on cars.
how does RFT effects our suspension system? you mentioned that the reason you changed the control arms earlier than normal is due to RFT
I swapped them because of ride comfort and for extending lifespan of suspension components. Run flat tyres are just too hard.
very informative, scary nonetheless for a non techno. how long would all that take to complete? how much roughly parts vs a garage charges
To be honest, I’m not care how much it would cost, if a garage did the repair. I’m doing it because I like it and it’s my hobby.
Id like to know if you changed your tires from run flat to regular tires. If so, what tires did you choose and why. Also, do you now carry a spare tire in the trunk, if so what is it, is it a donut tire?
Thanks
Nelson
Yes I did for the regular Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S, because they're good performed. In case of a puncture, I'm carrying tyre inflation compressor kit and if tyre isn't fixable, I've got a breakdown cover.
I have a 2020 740, I will change it to regular tires I don’t like the factory run flat by Bridgestone
When you checked the engine oil dip stick ( after oil change on level surface) it was showing the half way point between the min and max lines ( 1 litre more necessary to bring it to maximum line on dip stick) It seems, from the video, you didn’t add the extra 1 litre, if so, why?
Half litre short if in the middle, can’t speak for this guy but personally I do this so I can see the exact level as if I fill mine to the top, as the dpf throws all the crud into the oil it starts to increase your oil levels by itself, if you fill to the top, you won’t have anyway to check if the oil is now overfilled due to the dpf and overfilling can damage your car.
Great job 😊youare done
Hello, why did you change the front brake disk and not only the pads? It looked very good
Great vid
I have just bought a 730d with 21k miles. I must say I’m not looking forward to the servicing costs, but then again, after watching this video, I can now see just how much work goes into it. How much do you think the work that you have just done would cost at BMW?
Don't know the price at dealer, but It's not going to be cheap, because they will use only BMW parts which are supplied anyway by other brands, like you saw in video (Lemforder, Mahle, Brembo...)
Hi Martin
The G11 is 1 lovely car and great video with great detail 👍🏻.
1 question what diagnostic tool are you using ?
Thank you, I'm using ISTA, if look in my second video you'll see more about it.
@@martinandmechanic
Cool l will have a look
Thank you ☺️
Such a nice car, do you have an active lane assist? If so how does it work?
The oil should be changed every 6,000 miles no matter what the dealer says. A brake disc that lasted only 37,000 miles is strange
I like the blueberry muffin touch....
Very very great
I think you put in the cabin filter in the wrong orientation air flow comes from front to back of your car. Your arrows of the filter show into the direction of the front. Am I right ?
That’s where lot of us get confused, on G11/G12 it’s actually designed differently, air flow is coming from rear to front.
Appreciate the video, very refreshing to see someone servicing a 7 series. Thinking about a 2016 740i with the gasoline B58 engine. Do you have any concerns or things to watch out for with these vehicles? Thanks
Thank you, I don’t have any experience with B58 petrol, but I read that they are reliable and also are used in Toyota Supra, so they should be fine. If you looking for some G11/G12 I would recommend you to find a one with the option Executive Drive Pro, you’ll get the best driving experience from that option especially from the active sway bar and watch out for any air leaks from air struts, they can develop even on low mileage 7-series.
Are you satisfied with the aftermarket brake discs?
Actually the Brembo are OE supplier for BMW G11 sport brakes, but the brake discs were warped after maybe 1000 miles as well like those that I replaced, which were the original one. To be honest I never had good experience with the Brembo brakes.
What about electric parking brake when changing rear brakes pads. Do you need scan tool?2017 750 li in Canada
It’s not needed
5:29 Wait, is it still has an oil dipstick? I heard that today's BMWs don't have it.
Anti roll bad links? That early? What happened?
Just a precaution
Hi Martin, great video. Please can you let me know which ramp did you use? I thought my jack is sufficient to jack the car up but I failed. Seems like I need the same ramp as you. Also, do you have to lift your air suspension to get on this ramps? Thanks.
Thank you, I used Sealey CAR3000C car ramps and I had to raise up the suspension.
Thanks from Scotland. Can u just confirm with rear break pads...break piston pushed back? You dont need to touch (disconnect) electrical handbrake?
Yes, just turn piston back with 3-pin brake piston rewind tool and you don't have to disconnect electrical handbrake.
This is cool. How much would this cost firstly at bmw? And then normal mechanics like service?
Again, don't know the price at dealer, but It's not going to be cheap, because they will use only BMW parts which are supplied anyway by other brands, like you saw in video (Lemforder, Mahle, Brembo...)
@@martinandmechanic yeah i get you. Stealerships
Just found your channel. Excellent video. I will be following for all G11 content.
Ever have any air suspension problems?
Thank you, I never had any problems with air suspension
@@martinandmechanic my suspension dropped twice in the last year at 120k miles. 1st the relay, & now the compressor. I guess they can't last forever.
Best of luck with your channel. Its like 'm539 restorations' RUclips channel when it started. Another ocd mechanic who does bmw's. 👍
That’s true, the air suspension doesn’t last very long. I did a research about it and I found out that usually after 100k miles it starts to fail, and an aftermarket components usually fails right after installation, so I think a genuine parts are the only way to go.
And thank you, I’m glad that you like my channel.
Hi, can you tell me what socket i need for the caliper screw, it is torx external socket but i don't know the diemensons is it E18 ?
What tools are needed to change a 2017 7 series brakes ?
Good video any chance to Get parts numbers for front suspention please.
Hi, go on Autodoc and send them mail with parts what you need. I think you can get from them OEM parts for the cheapest price. Wait for a offer on around 35% off sale, every day the offers are changing.
BMW LL04 oil spec is okay but I would have used the newer BMWLL17. They’re lower SAP and have less likelihood to leave deposits on turbo charger and timing chain.
I wouldn't go for BMW LL17 for a diesel engine, because BMW recommending LL17 only for a petrol engine, also in my opinion is very thin, however LL12FE can be used in diesel engines from model year 2014 in engines 14d, 16d, 18d, 20d and 30d.
@@martinandmechanic ah sorry didn’t realise you had a diesel!
I use LL17 in my B48 330e. I think with the roller style cams and oil forcing two surfaces apart as long as there’s relative movement (like surfing) there won’t be any metal to metal contact despite thin fluid.
Great video Martin.
Is it ok to wind the rear callipers back like that? If so I’ll do mine myself
Yes that's safe, just turn piston back with 3-pin brake piston rewind tool and you don't have to disconnect electrical handbrake, that's what repair manual from dealer says, there are some model of BMW, for example 5-series F10, where you have to disconect electrical handbrake otherwise you're not going to able rewind piston.
post more please
Hi, i was wondering how you prime the diesel filter? Press start stop 3 times and wait for minute or use software? Thanks
I used the software ISTA
@@martinandmechanic ok, thank you
Why did you had to replace the control arms at 34000miles? My Audi A7 hat 160 000 miles and the factory control arms are still okay.
The ride wasn't that comfort like i wanted, run flat tyres helped those bushings to worn out, also bear in mind that bushings are made from rubber, so degradation from constantly changing environment is in place like air, cold, heat, etc. Many cars through their lifetime have factory control arms and bushings but they don't have that stiffness like they were new, therefore they can't absorb hits from bumps and potholes, so you feel those hits less absorbed.
I bet the bushings are cooked dude, VAG lower control arms usually only last 60 000km
@@martinandmechanic if they aren't torn when inspecting them closely, replacing them, I imagine wouldn't make much difference
Sur toutes les BMW.
Super
How much did you pay for everything?
Can you do a video on Why you decided to go from run flats to regular tires? And, do you carry a spare tire?
Certainly I will do the video about it at one point, but simply I swapped them because of ride comfort and for extending lifespan of suspension components. Run flat tyres are just too hard.
In case of a puncture, I'm carrying tyre inflation compressor kit and if tyre isn't fixable, I've got a breakdown cover.
@@martinandmechanic By chance, what tire did you purchase? I have the Mitchelin Run Flat tires and come Dec, 2022 will have to buy 4 new tires, so Im trying to decide which ones. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
I personally choose Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S and I'm really happy with them.
I'm in shock because I just bought this car KF66Hfl. Can you please tell me more details
I’m in shock too 👀, I sold it just two weeks ago to car trader.
@@martinandmechanic I bought it 6 may. Any serious problems you had with this car?
Only what I mentioned in my videos
Car has now 47000 miles
How is the ride quality with the lemforder front tension strut?
I was thinking of ordering OEM but lemforder are much cheaper and do not have fluid in them.
Please let me know thanks!
OEM tension struts for G11 are actually Lemforder. I don’t know about any fluid in them.
Hi, I have to change my wheels and want to drive him onto the lift. Do I have to consider something about the air suspension? is there a mode for that?
Yes, hold the button for 7 seconds
Were the brake discs at their minimum wear level after 36,000 miles? Could they be machined with new pads installed?
No, they didn't, but I felt vibration while braking.
Does the oil really run out fully if the car is on ramps like that? I don't think so and it's easy to overfill then and keep still much of the old dirty oil in it.
Better on a flat surface.
NIce video though!
Yes, probably tiny amount of oil will stay there, but anyway, even with the car jacked up in straight horizontal position, there will still stay some residue of oil in engine, the best way is remove oil pan and clean it.
Great video. What tools did you use to dismantle brakes? I mean what kind of bolts are used on front and rear calipers? Also for rear electronic parking brake. Thank you.
Thank you, I don’t remember exactly what tools I used, but with the standard spanner tool kit you should make it and for the rear calipers you need the brake piston rewind tool, no need to remove electronic motors.
@@martinandmechanic Thank you. For the rear brakes i was thinking abt electric parking brake,like do i need diagnostic tool to unlock the parking brake?
That’s not needed. Just rewind back pistons with the tool.
@@martinandmechanic Thank you.
@@martinandmechanic I forgot one more thing. Is wear sensors go on all 4 wheels,or just one on each axel?
Cool 😎 👍
You placed cabin air filters the wrong way. The arrow pointing the air direction means the flow of external fresh air coming to the cabin! That’s why it filters external air pollutants not entering into the vehicle.
I did it base on repair instructions manual what BMW dealer is using, ISTA+ and it exactly says: "Align the microfilter for interior ventilation so that arrows on the microfilters for interior ventilation point to the direction of travel during the installation." even old filters have been placed that way.
Surely direction of travel refers to the direction coming into the car from the outside. Your arrows were pointing towards the engine, I’m sure they should be pointing toward the interior of the car?
You must calibrate wheel alignment after all of this right? ;d
Yes exactly, the wheel alignment was done right after repair
@@martinandmechanic thx, you r great guy and very smart :) good luck :)
Thank you
wow!!!!! a dipstick!!!
Hi... Can you share how much approx. did all that parts cost please?
Hi, I think it’s irrelevant, some of the parts are now almost twice as much expensive as when I bought them more than one year ago.
Where did you get your fuel filter ?
