Nice job George. My son has been complaining about a vibe in his 520d that he has been chasing without success and so I forwarded this video straight to him. Hearing that you spent 40 to 50 quid on the mounts made me smile as it reminded me that back in the mid 70's I used to pay less that half that (about 17 quid)for a whole exhaust system for my Corsair 2000E if I fitted it myself. Back then they were made of mild steel and you were lucky to get 18 months out of them before they rotted out. I still have some spare rubber mounts (amongst other stuff) for it believe it or not and have lugged them around with me as I have moved around the world over the years. One day I will use them for something ...
Pretty sure that every single issue you post about on the e60 I have but I have them a few weeks before you and go through the heart ache of working the problem out and then getting it sorted to then have a video of yours pop up talking about the exact same thing. So I’d appreciate it if you would some how have problems sooner…thanks. 😂😂😂😂
ReAlly glad I dont own a 5 and a 7 too otherwise I’d be skint lol saying that if I bought a 5 and a 7 they not forced to have the austers curse like my 1er 🤣 great vid as always mate. Keep up the great work
@@GeorgeAusters Treat yourself to one of those car crawlers that converts to a stool. I have one and they are not too expensive and are amazing. Life changing!
First class video and much respect for doing that kind of job on your back, on your driveway. By unplugging the O2 sensor gave me an idea - how about a short video on sensor cleaning? There are O2 sensors and MAF / MAP sensors to go at. Might only gain 1 mpg and possibly some extra power, but its a gain.
Nice one as always man! I havent mentioned yet but when you say lets crack in I always imagine to rush into someones house in the middle of the night 😂
Always watch your videos, keep up the good work. Wheres the best place to source parts, after bonnet release cables for a e81 front and rear. 3to7 business days from BMW. Ideas welcomed
I'm a bit late to the show but my e60 vibrates when the idle drops down to about 700rpm. Could it still be my exhaust mounts or something more serious?
hi i have to replace tie rods on my e87 there is two types for ZF or TRW steering rack, how do i recognize which one i need, it is electric power steering, car is after facelift model 2010, right hand drive????
Nice. I recently figured out that if you have a really great outro piece that keeps people (like me) tapping along to the end, it means your video can be a bit longer without having to actually make content itself. The is a guy called Outdoor gear review that has a 3 min outro I cannot stop listening to. Probably I am the last guy on earth to have worked this out and so apologies for the ramble.
Hey George, my n47 has no power like it used to. All of a sudden, motor is weak and hard to rev, sounds different and yesterday debris came out of my exchaust pipe and lots of black smoke. Sounds like debris in the exhaust, can it be cleaned? The dpf is clean and free it has a hole in it
@@GeorgeAusters I have the same problem on MY X5 N52 E70, Changed all my engine mounts and still get a vibration in the cabin ; when I am decelerating to a stop you can feel it , like something is loose somewhere. Been driving me nuts for months and I wasn't thinking it could be the exhaust mounts , but I guess it won't hurt to replace them and see if it solves my problem.
@@dappa311 Hi man, did that solved your issues? I have replaced my engine mounts, all engine pulleys, new timing chain, injectors cleaned and adjusted and it seems the vibration are worse than previously. I have gutted the DPF, not sure if that is also related? @Georgeausters, can you also advise? Cheers.
Mate iv got exact same car remapped dpf and egr delete, just noticed recently I'm get3a vibration inside the cars it's so annoying, it's had new clutch, flywheel only recently, so I'm just wondering if you have any ideas as to what might be the cause.? Ps it's only at idle / tick over soon as I touch the accelerator even only slightly it goes away. Also it's at idle only never while driving, mounts maybe? 🤞🤞🤞 Great content bud ✌️👍🇮🇪
Yeah i had vibration in cabin my front seats was shaking and i done basically same jus without one first rubber closest to flexy pipe But apparently i had a smashed driveshaft rubber's ,and fuck me undoing all that exhaust and heat shield 🤦🏼♂️ i wish i would be not 6ft5 probs same as you , pain in arse to get under 🙈
@@GeorgeAusters spent a tonne on my e60 since i had it, now the glow plug modules decided to do one lol, sometimes i wished i kept my Lexus but atleast i have owned one of my dream cars.
@@neilpike4358 tell me about it mate, the previous owner who has my E60 did not do any kind of repairs/ maintenance on it apparently he was a mechanic aswell now I'm finding things all the time that'll require fixing/replacing the most latest one being the front bumper it has loads of filler in it 🤦♂️
@@johnyp2967 yes it’s a labour of love. The main problem I have is genuine parts are becoming more expensive and used scarce or in worse condition then the part you are trying to replace🙄

Haha brilliant, pretty much all bmw exhausts are stainless steel so they seem to last forever!
I will definitely gone do this job on my F11. I have also have a little vibration on my seat and passenger seat when i drive down highway speeds.

Not a bad shout, I generally give the MAF sensor a clean when I replace or clean an air filter

Great vid lad deffo doing this my exhaust shakes and seats, can be felt when parked up but a give it a few revs and it goes hopefully this cures it
Mine was the exact same mate
Didn't fully cure mine but is better than it was tailpipe still shakes any suggestions?
your neighbours must be like, george has it bmw up in the air again... should have bought a toyota :D
Hahaha yes they absolutely must be!
Another excellent Vlog George👍
Cheers Neil!
No worries George keep up the good work!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’m 99% sure that’s the cause of my vibration too.
Also need to do my transmission mount which I heard is difficult.
No it’s not too difficult, I already did mine👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters I’ll check out the video, cheers 👍
Nice job 👏, do you have a link from where to bay wall the amounts, i found something but they are not the same, thanks
well done,greetings from Poland 👌
Thanks Mike!

Where did you buy all mounts?
Any links?
Awesome video 🙌
Cheers Willie!
Aren't you doing the exhaust in readiness for me winning the car in the prize draw.😂
Very possibly 😅
@@GeorgeAusters Don't forget I'm your biggest fan....😉
Good day my 320d E46 keeps vibrating and making a knocking noise
George, can you tell me what's the size of the tyres on your e60?
Yes! 245/40/19 and 275/35/19
Hi, can you send me cad file of crank pulley tool if your dad didn't deleted so i can machine one for my m47. Thanks
Can you do this change without removing the exhaust? Looks difficult to remove the old rubber pieces is that why you removed the exhaust?
Really not worth trying as it’s a lot easier to remove the exhaust
What did we think of the new outro music?
Gary Numan?
Great

great video man, even though I don't have a 5 series lol
I guess it would apply to pretty much any car👌🏼
@@GeorgeAusters True
🤣🤣 you remove exhaust mounts identical to me lol
How so? Haha
@@GeorgeAusters Dremel and cutting disc 😁😆 ain’t nobody got time fo dat!
Nice one.
Thanks man!
Cool video - was donut ring thing on the prop shaft ok? That cause vibration too I gather 👍🏼
Yes it was

Hole in it?
Could be the engine mounts, gonna be changing mine because i feel more vibrations when in idle or stopping at a redlight
Nah I checked the engine mounts when the engine was out and they were solid! Vibrations inside the car have pretty much disappeared now!
I have the same problem let me know how it goes if you do change them

Might be because the swirl flaps? Did you delete them? Check the engine cover is not rattling
Thanks for your reply, Yes bud swirl flaps delete, could it be engine mounts maybe? Just can get annoying at times 🤦
I have the same issue also have the egr blanked dpf gutted and swirls removed but the exhaust rattles on idle
My car vibrates at start and usually goes away in 2 minutes. I think it might be the same issues
You cracked your rear alloys? Rear right?
No, one was cracked by a previous owner but it was welded up properly👍🏻
Man what a missed opportunity to rev the engine without the exhaust lol
It honestly doesn’t sound much different because it’s a straight through pipe with just a muffler
Save on buying rubber grease by using washing up liquid
Yeah i had vibration in cabin my front seats was shaking and i done basically same jus without one first rubber closest to flexy pipe
But apparently i had a smashed driveshaft rubber's ,and fuck me undoing all that exhaust and heat shield 🤦🏼♂️ i wish i would be not 6ft5 probs same as you , pain in arse to get under 🙈
Haha yeah I’m 6ft 4... Propshaft is a real pain to remove on the floor and I’ve done it a few times now
Those ramps you used look pretty handy, where are they from 👍
I’ll try get a link mate
