Thank you for your kind words! Someday I will have a lift!
Right....Not Too Many People can do that....i did a transmission in a 1972 skylark 20 yrs ago on the ground and it took me a full day.....i Salute Him
I'm really proud of you,I been doing the same thing since I was 15 years old,I'm now 49,it's been alot of fun buying fixing and selling,but you are the man changing transmission,I've never done that,ive just done little work,but you have alot of talent,wisdom , thrive and much more.Great future in your hands...👍💯
Thank you for your kind words! Thats along time of doing this business, I bet you have learned a ton through the years!
I bought a 2003 745li with 109k miles. Runs good. I'm saving this video just in case i have issues later. GREAT VIDEO!
Glad to hear that!
Awesome. Appreciate the effort and if possible, please keep all the trial and error methods you applied as it helps us to learn a lot.
I’m glad you enjoyed that portion, I’ll make sure to keep them included👍
When you will reach the million don't forget about us man. keep it up!
For sure! Thanks for the support
I love you going back and forth trying to problem solve, failing, failing, then winning. Its a pain for you to do it but really interesting to watch. Great content thank you!
Thats good to hear!
Wow!!! U r amazing....love the videos..just curious how you learned to fix cars and motorcycles? I am buying a 2015 ninja 300 for $1,800 on sat. And am going to attempt to fix broken parts (fairings) myself wish me luck...sure could use your know how.
Thank you for your kind words! I have learned everything I know from watching RUclips videos and asking friends/mechanics questions
Good luck on the repair, I did a rebuild on a 16’ R3 and learned how to paint a fairing kit. It was a lot of fun!
Happy to see i am not the only one doing everything on the floor :D keep it up :)
You gotta work with what you have!
Nice one, good luck in the next project
Thank you! Looking forward to the next one
Glad you fixed it! Beautiful car.
Thank you, I’m glad I got to give it another life!
You are so talented!! I'm loving your content!
Thank you Very much!
Nice work and nice to watch a clean wholesome video without all the usual car channel hype and distractions.
I’m glad you enjoyed that style of video, thanks for your support!
Happy to hear the swap worked out! Definitely keep up on fluid and filter changes.
I was pretty happy too!
How is the 7 series doing right now do you still have it has it been sort of reliable thank you great video
I recently sold it after putting around 10k miles on it. It did great and was super reliable while I owned it!
Nice videos brody, helping me alot with my 03 745li, I hear alot of bad about this car but you gave me hella hope. Thanks keep it up
Love to hear it man!
Can you please make more bike related videos and BTW Amazing content brother ❤
Yes I can, I want to create a wide variety of content with all types of vehicles but I will include some more bikes. I might even have a motorcycle video coming out in the next few days???
❤great job, I’m about to do some work on a 2007 bmw 750i by myself hopefully I’ll be able to get the same result
I’m sure you will! They are wonderful cars!
Love your videos
Thank you!
Great job man! Loved the video! Did that completely fix it? Also how many miles is it at? I’m looking at buying an 06 750Li with only 80k miles but seems to have some transmission issues aswell.
Thank you! Yes the transmission swap completely fixed it, i even did a burnout before changing the tires to make sure it was a strong tranny! I will warn you though, it took me about a week of driving/checking the fluid level to get it perfect because they are finicky transmissions when the fluid level isn’t correct. Mine has 145k miles on it so I’d say go for the 80k one and check the fluid level
How do you check the trans fluid?? Can find out anywhere so far.
Loving the videos, tuning in from india. Would love to see more videos of bmw fixing 😅
Well I love broken BMW's so your in luck!
Love the videos! The bike flipping series is also awesome!
I’m glad you liked them!
Lets go! Another banger
Thanks!!
Did you start the car, put it in each gear and hold for 10 seconds, and then check the fluid? It will pour out if you don't do any of that. Most likely you ran your car with very low fluid and damaged the transmission. I just bought an '08 that is shifting very hard. I suspect it is low on tran fluid and the sleeve is broken inside. Ordered new fluid, pan, and all 5 sleeves. Hopefully that fixes it. If it doesn't, I will junk the car. Only paid $3,500 lol
I did actually do all those steps off camera, I ended up replacing the transmission in the next episode
@@LIFEBUILDZchannel I saw that video! I’m praying mine is just low on fluid and the sleeve is cracked. Car is immaculate for a 2008. Has new rubber almost worth as much as the car.
Found a 2006 at 95,000 kilometers for $5,000 now I'm here doing research and so far, majority of inouts from mechanics and other vloggers are "Run" or "Endless money pit". 😂
Haha it’s a great car but yes it can get expensive
@@LIFEBUILDZchannel I just spoke to a highly recommended BMW specialist for 30 years. He said "Take my number off your contact list". 😂 He explained why though.
@@workingtools2999 😂😂😂😂
@@LIFEBUILDZchannel But its still only 95,000 kilometers and only for $5,000. Basing on what the lady said, its mostly garaged and usually only used on summers. Cheacked out a lot of pics, no warning lights on dash, only problem she mentioned is there's a small leak but she's not sure where its coming from. Still figuring out a date for me to go check it out. On the background pic, seems like she lives in a mansion too, so I think she just got bored of it. Rich people problems, you know. 😂
i got a 2007 BMW 750 Li its the best ultimate machine
That’s awesome!
Hello.i have bmw 2003 745 li.When put D it,s take P .when put R it,s take back P again.what kind of transmission problem is it?please let me know if you have any idea,thanks
It sounds like it’s low on fluid or low battery. If the battery drops below 12v it will engage park also if the fluid level in the transmission is low it will lock itself back into park in order to prevent damage
Hope this helps
I'm late to the party, but look into the mechatonics unit as well. Mine did the exact same thing about 4 years ago and that ended up being the problem. Been running fine since!!
I have a 745li you need new bridge seal
Hmm, do you think that caused the metal chunks as well? I thought it was the seal but then I saw the chunks, I’m not sure though
Man i love your videos!
Im glad you are enjoying the videos!
Did you have to program the new valve body ?
Can you reach to rear main seal with transmission removed? Replace it while you there, the next owner will appreciate it.
Yes It’s much easier to reach the rear main seal while the transmission is out. I’ll try to replace it on the next transmission swap
You did a good job
Thanks!
been waiting for this one!!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
You gona hit million soon.
That would be pretty cool!
Nice job cant believe you can do all this from youtube knowledge. No schooling at all? Also i have a bmw 530i and the hood release broke on it to and you might just have to pull it super hard with pliers and front the right angle. Thats how mine is but it works every time like that it broke off with enough of the wirse sticking out with the old handle off that i cant grab it with the pliers it came with in the trunk and open it.
Thank you! Yeah I've never had any automotive schooling, just a lot of trial and error with RUclipss help! I think what happened with this one is that the cable was stretched so bad that even when I yanked on it, it wouldn't release.
@@LIFEBUILDZchannel oo okaayy, watch out for those bmw v8s tho the timing chain guides are plastic and theyre known for going and being expensive to fix
@@thisguyfromyoutubesaid1537 Yes they are! I've actually done 3 timing chains on the v8 BMW's because the quote was like 10k and I found the parts for $400
@@LIFEBUILDZchannel jezzz youve done everything lol
You must of fliped alot of cars. Im happy youve started documenting it. Im sure ill learn alot from these videos
@@thisguyfromyoutubesaid1537 Haha I've flipped quite a few but I also have purchased many unreliable Bmw's so I got good at fixing them. Im glad your enjoying the videos!
10/10/10 Okay
Would you recommend this for a total beginner? I was thinking of starting this kinda thing
I definitely wouldn’t start with a transmission swap as a first project. However, yes this overall process of fixing up cars I would totally recommend as a beginner. That’s how I learned, just simply buying broken cars, motorcycles, Jetskis, etc and learning to fix them through RUclips videos
Dude, there is no such thing as RPMs. RPM is "revolutionS per minute". It's ALREADY plural.
I was going to buy this car but nevermind. I'll just stick with lexus
real cool that you can do this work. I remember when I had my 7 it was a total money pit. I hope your channel grows bro.
Thanks man!
