In this video we'll go through step by step guide on how to replace valve cover on F80 BMW M3, also applies to F82 M4 of course. The process is very similar to N55 engine found in F30/32 335i/435i as well as other bmws with N55. The big difference on S55 engine is that you have to remove slightly more components
Thank you for watching

Used your video recently to replace the valve cover due to faulty pcv valve on my 2016 F80 at 85k miles. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill!
I used this video to do mine last night, took me 6 hours but I definitely saved on labor costs, greatly appreciated
You are welcome 😉
At the end is expensive, you paid with your own time...
Are you a novice to cars? I am, wanting to try
@@javierjimenez3627Still beats paying BMW $3383 quote for the dealer to work on my car. I bought the parts and paid my seasoned mechanic friend to help me the labor. The Valve Cover alone is $740 on FCP Euro w/ life warranty guarantee replacement. Still way less then paying BMW to work on my M4.
All you had to di is drill a small hole in your pcv it stops the whinning noise
I just followed your video to the T to replace the Valve cover on my 15’ M4. Thanks for putting this out here. Saved myself $2,000.
Happy to help👍
Took me 2 days 😂
How long did it take you?
Thank you for such a detailed video. I just helped a buddy with his F80 M3, took a little over 5 hours just taking our time.
Happy to help👍
VERY helpful video! Straightforward and to the point. The way all tutorials should be! 🏁👍
Thank you, appreciate your feedback 🙌
It is said that the clicking noise on the side comes from a badly torqued exhaust camshaft. Have you done the retorque procedure? Do you know which is the correct torque or where might this problem come from? Thanks!
Great video. I am following it step by step. Getting ready to take off my ignition coils and injectors.
Torque Specs would make this video even better but good job either way.
Excellent coverage…….just done this cover replacement with your help,much appreciated 👍👍
Happy to help🙌
its hard but great video! always support your channel thank you for N52 valve cover i have done repair perfecly following your video
Happy to help👍
Hi mate, are there any specific torque specs to follow when putting it all back together?
Great video! Did this job a few weeks ago and would say there’s no need to drain the coolant or remove the charge cooler. Just loosen the clamp on the U pipe, pop up the cooler and put something under it to keep it up.
Was it not harder to remove and install the valve cover skipping this step? Is there enough play in the pipes to move it safely?
@@anthonyvillalpando1694 Not harder at all. There's loads of slack in the pipes at the front of the cooler. You do however need to pop it out of the U pipe. I replaced the 2 fuel pressure sensors and I did have to remove the cooler for that.
Excellent as always !! 100-100 BMW Gods lol great vid Tim!!
Thank you, trying shorter diys now, so every second would be on point🙌 hopefully you guys like it
@@Zeiten Hi Tim, your longer versions, surely had/has advantages for sure,Remember, you have to realize that cater to many many people,that may be/ are very elementary (no offense to anyone), this has advantages!, so because you went into "minute details", which was still really really good and shows how detailed and "in depth" information you has attained working on your BMW specifics!! So no worries they we not boring by any means!! great sir! keep doin what you do besttt!!ty
Awesome video!! Many thanks, you make it look easy. I will give this a shot soon.
Thank you, well it’s not really easy but if you follow those steps it will get simple😉
Just finished the job earlier today, everything went as described. Even threw in some spark plugs while in there. Took about 8 hours but I was taking my sweet time. Most challenging part was trying to lift the intercooler 😅 anyways just wanted to come back and say thanks again! Couldn’t not have done it without your help!
Happy to help👍
Z-man still waiting t-shirts 😁👍, crazy how you posting this video my gasket started leaking couple days ago after I just changed it not even two years 🤦 got to love BMW anyway bro
Which one you have?
Thanks again , really good..
🙌
My breather/vent tube is stuck. You took it off at 7:29 very easily. Did your hose not have quad locks in it? How did you take it off?
I wish I knew this was going to happen, now no warranty paying over 5k at the dealer LOL. What is the usual maintenance window for valve cover and charge air cooler (started to leak)
how long can i Drive the vehicle without it being an issue. Waiting on the valve cover but need to drive it
Thank you
the old one looks fine, is it cracked or?
great video. would feel safe to have you change it on our m4
🙌
seems like this would be a good time to do the crankhub fix as well?
Thank yod already had that done. Its alot more involved than it seems
Thanks!
Thank you appreciate it🙌
Thank you for the video! Do I need to change the whole cover or can I just change the gasket?
I would recommend to replace the whole thing since it has built in pcv and if it gets clogged there is no way of cleaning it so save yourself some trouble of doing this job again and replace valve cover
Thank you! Really approxate that!
Hey excellent video! Recently my PCV went bad and my ‘16 M3 makes that whining noise at idle when warm.
Took to my local BMW dealer yesterday praying it would be covered under 7/70 or 8/80 emissions warranty but they say no because it’s Virginia, not California or other states that do CA emissions.
They quoted me $2300 for the job (valve cover replacement). In your opinion how many hours should it take a BMW tech to complete this? They’re saying 8 hours 😮
Ps- my car is a 3/16 build and 67k miles.
Well, depends on skill, i do it in about 2-3 hours. The quote you got is pretty good by California standards, and regarding hours to complete the job usually shops take estimated time lets say 4 hours in this case and double it, and I don’t blame them at all, estimated hours don’t get into account shop’s rent and bills and local laws etc
my bmw dealer charged almost $4000, why are the charges wildly different and quoted 12 hr job??
@@NuclearShot because they figure most people won’t challenge them on it. 12hrs to replace a valve cover is absurd. Go somewhere else.
@@NuclearShot warranty pay time for M3 valve cover is 6.7 If the vehicle is out of warranty, the dealer takes the warranty pay time and multiplies it by whatever labor coefficient is allowed by BMW for that dealer. For my dealer it's around 10.7 hours to replace it if it's out of warranty
I see a few aftermarket rocker covers on ebay, do you think they all same quality?
No, with this one genuine only
Is replacing the hose recommended as well?
If you are talking about pcv hose, not really, haven’t seen issues with it
Where did you get valve cover from? Do you have website link? And at what milage valve covers go bad on BMW M4s in general? Thanks.

I finished the repair on Tuesday.
After the completion, the engine compartment of the vehicle started to smoke. I thought I had messed up and was very frustrated. After inspection, it was found that it was caused by the evaporation of the detergent used to clean the oil stain. At present, everything is normal. Thank you for your previous N55 video. I tried it. It's really tiring to shoot and explain while working.
Glad everything worked out👍
In the next step, I plan to replace the generator, but the entire RUclips does not share the tutorial video of replacing the S55 motor. I hope to find it on your channel next🤩
I wanted to know if you can work on my bmw, I have misfire in 6 out of 8, I changed the spark plugs, ignition coils, vanos solenoids, air filter… codes= insufficient air flow in bank 1 and 2 and misfire on my 2003 bmw 745i with 170,000 miles, I also have an oil leak, what I do know is I need my velcover gaskets replaced
Sure, send me email we’ll go from there
Hi
what intercooler fluid?thx
Coolant, zerex g-48 or genuine bmw coolant
4:40 I don’t think you have to remover the charge air cooler expansion tank, they can be taken off along with the unit
Wish I found this video on how to remove the fuel rail to replace my injectors all to EU5s.. couldn’t find anything for the fuel rail.. I ended up not removing the charge cooler or fuel rail to do all six of them.. 😅
amzaing
Hello. Do you need to change the whole head? Or can i only install new gasket?😁
Not head but valve cover, it has built in pcv so the recommendation is to change whole valve cover
Okei😊 i have a littel leak, and i Wonder if i only can change the gasket
@Don-xk5fd better change the whole thing you’ll save yourself time and labor since it’s very common issue
after i change valve cover pcv fix it And the sound is gone But when I open the oil cap, there is still suction or pressure. What is the solution?
a little bit is fine
I did this but afterwards are getting misfires in cylinder 5 & 6. I moved around the coils and spark plugs, but still keep getting the misfires in 5 & 6. Does anybody have any idea of what could be wrong?
Probably pinched valve cover gasket in the back, also check your ground connection in the middle between coils
@@Zeiten, thank you for you response. I took it off again, checked super carefully when putting it back in, torqued in correct order, mounted everything back. But still... same issue. Coils and plugs have been switched around so I've ruled those out. Any advice on next step in troubleshooting?
The only two ideas however far-fetched they might be, is that there is dirt in the fuel injectors (but both of them...?!?) or that the cable to the coils/ground got damaged.
I ffinally figured it out with some professional help, so for the sake of others that might end up in this situation.
I had faulty new bosch oem spark plugs. One had a loose porcelain, the others were causing misfires. Pulled em out and the new ngk plugs fixed it all.
Привет, Тим, хороший английский уже у тебя. Есть проблема с моей BMW E92, возможно подскажешь. Когда переезжаю лежачие полицеские передний мост издает такой шум. Но когда длительное время погода сухая - шум исчезает.
When I run over speed bumps, the front axle makes such a noise. But when the weather is dry for a long time, the noise disappears. What could it be, give me a clue.
