I’m doing this right now omg man
Bmw... Such fucking pieces of garbage. My e39 has some shitty box under the inlet pipw that ia absolutely fucking impossible to remove. But it needs removal to remove the broken hose. Piece. of. fucking. shit. (Edit: wow I was mad, sorry for this. At least it doesn't start so I can't blow it up just yet :D)

You do an excellent job. Too many well intentioned RUclipsrs talk way too much - you get to the point quickly and you're accurate.
We used this video to remove the intake from a 2003 Z4. Best set of instructions on RUclips.
I use videos like this to guide me on the various vehicles I work on. No two cars are ever exactly the same. With that being said, this has to be one of the BEST videos on youtube. I seriously wish people would do tons of stuff like this. It made my job 1000% easier and probably helped me get the job done 40% faster than without this video. Good work! Hope to see lots more.
I have watched a lot of different videos for the intake removal. Im glad you show more of the removal process. Would be nicer to see more of the intracacies of the process. You showed a few steps that none of the other videos showed. Thank you. Despite having an e39 myself. I was absolutely shocked how hard it was to find an instructional that showed the 99 e39 and not the 97. Great job. Now i just have to refer to this vid a few times so i can get the darn thing back in
SHOPLIFE WITH THE ASSIST!!!! Thanks for posting this. It was a huge help in sorting out my CCV issues. It's definitely a lesson in patience and perseverance. I almost threw out my back trying to get the idle control valve dislodged.
Dude, You do a real good job with showing everything right to the point with no Blah Blah Blah. I wish could retain all this like you did...Thanks
thanks a lot, I save a lot because of u, i was having issues with fuel ingectors , and from this video i learned how to disconnect the wiring from fuel injector.i don't know nothing about mechanic but i always try. i had so much trouble with fuel injector 3 &4, i was ready to take my e53 3.0 to the mechanic. what i learned from this video was how to unplug the fuel ingector harness and i plug it back and my trouble was solve.. something so simple cause me a lot of trouble.it had a short circuit or whatever,thanks a lot shoplife :)
@ShopLifeTV you should do a video on how to install an oil catch can for the people that want to delete the CCV , I feel that you go over everything really well and there is not a lot of great videos on how to do it properly on a E46 /M54 engine . You would be the right person to do that:) I hope you do . Keep up the great work . You have helped me a lot with my BMW
Very helpful having someone holding camera for you to get quality angles! This helped me a lot!
When I first got my e46 3 years ago this video scared me but since I've done most of this work since I've had my bimmer it doesn't look so bad and I know I can tackle this job
this kid knows what he’s doing and knows how to make a proper DIY video.
Wish all this info was available 25 years ago. works have saved me allot of grief
And now everybody have a camera without developing film. The problem is to remember to use the camera before its to late.
I wish you could talk about those 2 notorious crispy coolant pipes under the intake. I need to change those, they are still factory original
That's why I came here. Nathan stopped short. Not sure about 50sKid. Still they seem like the easiest part of the job.
Yup that would be an awesome video!!!
YUP, I pulled my manifold off for this reason. What a shit design, those coolant pipes should be aluminum
@Static Boolean how’d that go for you, i’m in the process of taking apart to get to them.

The only injector clip I dropped was #2 and it went in the hole between #1 and #2 intake runners. I kid you not, it made it all the way to the floor. I could drop a clip in that hole a hundred times and it would only make it to the floor 2 or 3 times. I feel the repair has been blessed from on high.
Thank you very much!!! Did this today on my z4/e85 after watching your video and it was way easier than expected 👍
This was the best video on this I have seen also the only one that doesn't time laps everything.
Thank you so much . Thanks to you, I disassembled it without error. May your work always go well.
Looked at a few videos and this one is the best. Very detailed and gets to the point without wasting too much time.
Excellent video! Especially appreciate not removing fuel rail in order to remove intake manifold. Although I do agree that in a higher mileage vehicle, getting the injectors cleaned is probably worth that.
i Just bought an E46 and thanks to your videos i have or will be changing Valve cover gasket, Intake Manifold gasket, Oil Filter Housing Gasket, Dipstick and Dipstick Tube gasket, Disa Valve Gasket, Both Plastic Pipes Under Intake, CCV and Oil Separator and power steering pump ofcourse ill be changing all vacuum Lines under intake have i forgotten anything. Mind you im not a mechanic keep up the good work.
You by far have the best videos on doing all these things
Wow you are good man I thought I am a good mechanic , well done .
Best informational video by far. Thanks!
Thank You! This Video help me out a TON! I did brake the DISA Valve upon disassembly I missed a bolt! I have coolant in the Throttle body, My vacuum lines are toast, the tube going to the crankcase/dipstick is a goner. found coolant in a vacuum lines, #6 cylinder intake was full of coolant. Now I need to buy the VANOS Tool set. Removing the cams timing chain, exhaust manifolds, head.
I'd recommend also replacing the plastic cooling lines that bolt to the block also. I've been chasing down coolant leaks and mine happen to be bad. I'd you have a coolant leak, check those while you're in there.
Hey brother thank you you had by far the most detailed instructions for everything hoses pipes clamps as well as once it was off flipping it over and explaining where everything goes and what to do thank you for your time and posting this video
Thanks, using this as a guide to install the intake manifold with all the connectors after swapping out an engine on this e46 haha
Great video. Thank you and appreciate your videos.I am a little bit unsure how you managed to remove the fuel rail without lots of fuel spilling all over the place. I assume you purged the fuel rail first but i dont believe you shared that part in the video. I note this because its probably the single most dangerous and potentially messy part of this manifold removal process. Overall your videos are really clear and well presented.Awesome. Also was wondering if you could have included mentioning replacing the heater hoses that sit under the manifold since you have the manifold off and its accessible. Would really be a waste for someone to remove the manifold and then get the car going and one of those heater hoses in the block starts leaking and they have to take the manifold off again. LOL
Happy new years fellas! I'm taking out my intake on new years eve watching this very helpful vid. Thank you bud for making this vid. Is helping me a ton and saving me time. 👍
Really was battling until i found ur video. Great stuff bud. Helped tons.
Very informative and explained very clearly. It's a lot of work but you showed that it can be done with a lot of parts and patience.
Great videos man, I like that you think the same way as me too when I do have to pull the intake I replace everything. I personally had my starter rebuilt last time my intake manifold was off too just to avoid the headache of doing it again
I learned a lots from all yours video... great job bro
Awesome guide best one ive seen so far, broke some plastic parts watching other guides
Sweet and to the meat. I only need to change the ECT sensor. That's a lot to go through just to get to it. At least thanks to you, I know what I'm up against. I am a subscriber and love the way you teach. Thanks for the all the effort you go through teaching us.
Dude I just took on this job today. I think I might have jumped on something to big for me to chew. I gonna do what you recommend with the ccv and all the vacuum hoses. I'm 90% done but didn't get the manifold off yet, hopefully tomorrow. Send good vibes for me to get it done.. 😕😔😐👍💯
GREAT stuff !! Thanks for all the good info. Great refresher too, did my 330 a while ago but forgot 1/2. Keep up the great work !!
Thanks for being thorough and detailed on this DIY video. Anyone know the part numbers to the vacuum hoses that he recommends replacing along with the other parts that are needed to be replaced? Thanks!!
Thank you very much ShopLifeTV.
good job thanks for the socket and wrench sizes and also for naming each component you remove
Nice video and good explanation of the job. I had to do a starter on one of these. im putting it back together tomorrow. the starter bolts were honestly the worst part by far. the external torx bolts are really close to the firewall. i had to cut a wrench and weld it to make room to turn it. I wish I knew the fuel line came apart that easily, I took the injectors out of the manifold. thanks for the video
12pt wrench works, preferably a flex head ratcheting wrench
I’m thinking about getting to the starter to replace from up top too , any pointers on hidden plastic parts I can break??
Great step by step, helped me get through this job, BUT *** there are vacuum lines underneath and in the back that will break and have to be disconnected, he did not mention taking them off!! I broke the hose that connects the vacuum pump to the intake. And the secondary air pump hose is usually really brittle and mine snapped like a piece of straw
fantastic videos to detail good job..
Great channel man. I hope I never have to work on that side of the engine anytime soon lol. That looks like a pain. Keep up the good work! Love watching your E46 vids!
+Nelson Almeida Thanks!
im doing it right now. its not as complicated as it seems
That's the easy side.
dude you saved my life with that video
On my e46 I cleaned my throttle body and turned the flaps where all that black buildup in the threshold. I did a throttle body reset holding down the gas pedal with the ignition on position 2 for 10secs & taking my foot off for another 10. It actually reset my throttle body. I couldnt rev over 3k. It solved my problem and i hope it solves someone elses
Thanks for sharing that, after watching this video I thought i'd need a new throttle body.
This is exactly what mine is doing... can you provide me with any more (specific) information?
He said dont touch it . I had the end of a screw driver holding the FLAP open . Lmmfao.
All is fine . I cleaned the shiiit out of it with Brake cleaner .
Not even trottle spray .
Very helpful!!
Thanks buddy for teaching us how to take care of my precious e46 m3.
Marcelo
Man ur so cringe. Get an expensive car if u gonna brag u hobo. I have 3 of those
My favorite part is when you vacuum all the dirt out, just something about that part that always makes me laugh good video.
Thanks, the video really helped out with starter replacement.
thats me right now.
Best video I’ve seen on this. Great job!!!!
Awesome video bro, very well detailed. 👍
Love your E46 Vids, keep them coming
Using this video this coming weekend. My 325i has been sitting to long now. All over a broke water pump. Since I had it close to the overheated side of life I decided a great idea to change out some of the more important gaskets and went about the intake removal a ridiculously stupid hard way. And as I was installing everything I forgot to plug in one wire that is impossible to plug in with the intake in place and bolted back down. Oh what wire was that yep u guessed it the blanking blank blank knock sensors ugggh this was over two months ago and caused me to loose all want to get my baby back on the road
I just want to commend you on all the good work you are doing and sharing your experience! Just keep it up👌 you'll be flooded with followers and one day that will pay your bills. Take care!
+Mark Poposki Thanks for the kind words, I really do enjoy making these videos as I hope it helps out a lot of people.
@@ShopLifeTV i have a 2005 bmw 330i msport, i cant locate the iat sensor, it is not on top of the intake manifold nor is it integrated with the MAF. Please help me
do you have a video of how to replace the fuel hoses that go to the injectors?
Nice video it help me out my first time removing my intake manifold on my 325i
You do a great job. Lean a lot from you. I did everything in the video now I have a P0414 error. To the 2nd air intake. What wire harness did I miss when reconnecting and where is it located
Great video! Also, what a horrible vehicle to work on! Now I understand why everyone says BMWs are terrible for maintenance. Every part designed to fail and be a giant pain to replace.
Just got a Z3 2.8 1998, this is a really helpful video. Thanks.
by far best video for this on youtube
Thank you so much for this !!!
Excellent video that will help me with my E83 X3 with M54 engine. Clear and precise! Thank you!
Thanks for these videos - Super effing helpful!!!
Excellent video saved me a bunch of headache appreciate you
Thanks.. very intensive... you're very qualified!
very good job explaining in detail.
that was a good tutorial
Great videos. Love the explanation that you give for everything.
finally, someone who knows something.
Many thanks. It helped a lot with a X5. Great video
Great job making this video and explaining what each part your removing is call as I’m new to working on BMW. At the start it was a little hard to see what you were removing if you can get a small LED light in put in under were your working it would make it a lot easy to see the dark spots. I look forward to seeing other videos you make. Especially if its show the vanos filter location for this model of engine. All the other on you tube or for other models of the engine but none for my 2005 BMW X3 3.0 Thanks.
Great video, thanks for posting it.
Seriously great channel. Don’t stop 👍🏼
Thanks for the video and full details on how to I'll be doing this to my 04xi sedan have a bless life without we would have been screwed
The runny nose sniffing is the first sign of inhalation of gas fumes. I was doing my injectors. Started with the runny nose sniffs ended with puking uncontrollably even in a well ventilated area
So good video..did what you said to get everything off but now I'm trying to replace my starter in my 2000 BMW 323i and I can not get bolts loose got any ideas or tricks to brake them loose
good video straight to the point
Hi.Thanks for all your great videos. I do have a question for intake removal. Is it possible to remove the intake by removing a main harness from the fuse box instead of removing each plugs from all sensors.
Nicely explained .
I just did this job, I replaced a few power steering lines, all the coolant lines, all the vacuum lines, ccv, and temperature sensor it’s worth it to do it now
Hey thanks for the videos!
I got told by my mechanic that the pressure at intake was reading low. I ordered a new map sensor but cannot find where it goes. Am I completely wrong, or does the m54 have another way of reading intake pressure? Thanks
Quick and straight to the point no b.s
Great video thanks . im doing mine tomorrow.. 😀
Just followed this vid over the weekend to remove my intake manifold so I could replace the coolant pipes that run under there. What a f'n pain! Anyways, glad I did because the coolant pipes were disintegrating where they attached to the engine, pissin' coolant everywhere! Now I'm waiting for the replacement parts you recommended to replace while I got it all tore apart. Thanks for the vid! Where's the reassembly video? lol
Dam I'm going to have to invest in a vaccum. I have an e39 that makes a loud whistling noise and according to a video I saw it's the ccv
very helpful. thanks
Can you do a DIY on the mid brake hoses, after the ABS unit? It looks like a PITA because of the aluminum heat shield.
Bro you save my life 🙏
Thanks mate for another fantastic tutorial, much appreciated as always! From down under 🇦🇺👍🔧
You make good videos dude. Thank you
I'm doing this right now bc I picked up a badly neglected 328Ci on the cheap. CCV seems to have been out of service for several years. What do you recommend to clean the manifold, as it's been breathing oil for several years at least?
Excellent video well done
My e60 2.5 starter likes to grind every so often but I don't want to mess with the manifold. let it keep grinding sounds more fun than tearing it all apart. Starters are cheap on ebay so I guess I have to do it.
Havish trouble finding where purge valve breather hose connects to manifold? Any diagrams or images would help ,thanks
on the M52 engine the throttle body is not drive by wire... it has a physical steel cable to the pedal, I did open the butterfly to clean it and it is fine, it is the same a pressing the gas pedal. The year is 1999, 328i
Great video. I have a urgent question. I am ready to pull out my m54b30 intake manifold but it is held in by one connector which is attached to the bracket where the lower bolt that hold the manifold into the block is located. How does that release? I just can't figure it out.
It worked for me very well, thank you, you are doing your job well.👍
very nice video well explained
