HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- This is my daily driver, a 2011 BMW 328i with ~243,000km on the clock. Today we fix up all kinds of oil leaks, as basic as the oil filter housing gasket (OFHG), all the way to removing the subframe to tackle the replacement of the steering rack and oil pan gasket.

Skilled craftmanship, and some very cool editing details. Love it!
Nice! Yesterday I askes myself what you've been up to lately and today a video pops up 😁
Edit: Very nice video! Very informative and step by step description :) it was a pleasure to watch. I should replace the oil pan gasket of my E46 Touring this year. Fortunately I don't have xDrive 😅

반갑습니다 돌아 오셨네요
Absolutely amazing video very very help full with all technical information and edited details luckily I found this channel while looking for Rack and Pinion replacement 2011 BMW
I love your use of hockey pucks with your hydraulic table. It was my first clue that you were Canadian hahaha
I have an E36. I can’t believe how complicated BMW managed to make things in just 15 years.
Very nice job, just very nice to watch, keep it up!
Great channel that deserves way more subscribers 👍
i cant believe i got this luck to find your channel while you JUST recently posted. just wanna let you know that i LOVE your 750li content cause ive been an owner since 2016 and had to go through lots of obstacles to maintain it. i truly appreciate your work and passion!
Love some e90 content
Great video Alex.
Great video, everything is accessible and intelligible
Great to see a new video on the channel! Keep the good work up!
Nice camera angle 📐 👍🤗
Ура!!! Новое видео 🙌🏼 класс 👍
You are awesome brother, i was looking for this video for a loooooongtime, I couldn't find no one doing a video with very specific instructions.
May I ask how many hours you spent doing this job?,and, it didn't give you problems aligning the rack and the steering wheel?, in some cars usually we have to turn the steering wheel all the way to the right(5 turns) and than turn it back half(2.5 turns) to the left. Otherwise wheel alignment is not correct.
You guys with garages are different level 😂, here in NYC we do it on the streets 😁😁.
Thank you my friend! I don't remember how many hours it took, but it was a big job. I believe it took me two days. To align the rack I didn't have any problems, bolted right back to the same spot and then obviously brought the car for a proper alignment when I was done.
Doing this job on the street sounds like a nightmare 😂, good luck!
Wonder why so many torque to yield bolts
Hey man how do you know those oil filter housing bolts are aluminum?
With a magnet maybe
Will be reviewing your 750Li videos. Right or wrong I bought a 2022 750i Xdrive as a project. Has a bad engine knock. Low compression #6 cyl and less piston travel on that cyl. Will need to rebuild, hopfully the crank shift isn't damaged?
It was 2012 not 2023
Milage is about 164k miles
Only way to tell will be after tearing it down. There will probably be at least some damage to the crank, the question is if it can be machined or if it will need to re replaced. Enjoy the series, hopefully the videos will help!
Can you tell me how to replace the steering rack on a 2012 bmw 750li
I’ve seen your 7 series content however you don’t talk about the steering rack at al.
You have to drop the subframe. Once the subframe it out it should be pretty easy to disconnect. Part 1 of the series should be able to help. Good luck!
Good evening, I am interested in knowing where in the United States you work because I have a 2013 BMW 750LI SERIES car with a stuck engine and I want to repair it.
Hi there, I am in Montreal, Canada. You can email me at info@bimmerdoctor.com

Why u never change rod bearings???
Why would I change the rod bearings?The car doesn’t have any issues that would need replacement and it’s expensive to do it for no reason. If the engine had known issues (like an S65 or S85) then I would do it, but not for an N52.
