Coming from the an sti and a track spec'd evo X, i decided on getting a mature car with the F80 and was always afraid of the maintenance. Your videos makes me sooo much more comfy in doing my own maintenance now!! Big shout out to you brotha! Youre a gem on this platform!
Thanks! It’s an easy car to work on
I honestly feel the same way just picked up an m4 alpine white I’ve already watched all these videos before I even bought the car 😂 which kinda made me breath easy and just pull the trigger so thanks a bunch not to many people out there doing a bunch of maintenance videos on these things
another great DIY by the man himself
Thanks Corey!!!
Congrats from Romania 🇷🇴
You are awesome with details and as a person !!!!
Thanks for watching from so far away!!
Great job 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Thank you
Good call on correcting the torque spec in the description. My eyes popped out for a second when you said 60 lb ft
Haha thanks
Great video so simple. Wish my F30 had a drain plug, only have a fill plug.
Oh wow I didn’t know that. I guess you’ll have to pump it out first
Done this on my m3. Wish I had bought the fluid transfer pump. Certainly makes life easier. Also make sure the 14mm Allen socket is seated correctly on the bolt. Opening the filler first facilitates better drainage. And exhaust mods again. Hahaha. Tip paint the exhaust high heat black. Should help with the rust.
You will love this new exhaust setup ;)
Just did this thanks tommy. Btw did the 10.2” screen also. Had a few issues due to swapping out my idrive 4 to idrive 6 also. I was running the bimmertech rear view camera from two years ago so I couldn’t get the full screen rear view image. I had to update the camera as well.
Good to know. Thanks for checking in and I’m glad the video helped!
Another great informative video Tommy.
Thanks!
Please tell me where to buy headlight fluid 😭 I can’t see at night anymore
Sephora sells it :)
Wait a minute...ANOTHER exhaust? I seem to remember you trying out a few (2 or 3?) aftermarket kits. Didn't know you switched back to OEM again. BTW, great vid and explaining as always!
Yes. I’m a psycho haha
Super helpful, thank you for posting.
Thanks !!
Excellent video like always tommy
Thanks!!!
Note that the proper torque spec for the drain/fill plugs - at least for the F87 M2, but probably for all F8x M cars - is 45 Nm. 60 Nm is not the correct torque for the drain/fill plugs.
Thanks for the info!
@@TommyLGarage I wonder if it’s worth pinning this comment, so that future watchers of your excellent diff fluid DIY don’t use the wrong torque spec.
What would I do whit out you man thanks for the video 👌🏼
You should make one doing the spark plugs?
Spark plugs video coming soon!
Need to do this on my m140i...
Easy to do
Thanks again TLG
Thanks for being here !
Great job, very informative👌🏽
Thanks!
I did mine a month ago. Lifted one of the side of the car. Jack, had flat pan. Dropped the car down. So it levels. I filled with 1 bottle. Fluid form the dealer.
1 bottle doesn’t seem enough
@@TommyLGarage This guy drained his differential fluid and it measured out to one liter or one bottle. ruclips.net/video/A62VlwLFVh4/видео.html
@@lourenco121 thats what i followed - while pumping it in, it started to leak out, i just buy extra bottle and add a bit more. :) thanks
Hey 1 lier is all you need for the diff.
1.1 quarts but only 1 liter. Each BMW diff fluid bottle1 liter, That's all you need
The rest overflows
@@TommyLGarage meaning those containers you buy from BMW are 1 l. And you only need one
Hey Tommy great content! I’m going to an awesome private event in pocono raceway this Sunday September 6th. We will be doing pocono north course. Great group great seat time. You should come and drive with us. Let me know if this is something you would be interested in.
Euro P Oh wow I would love to but my week is booked solid and I would not have the time to prep the car for the track.
Tommy L Garage I go all the time. Next big event with a mega course layout will be in October. It is hosted by stacked on track. Something I think you would really enjoy. I will be there as well. Or September 27th with my private group. Let me know if you’d like to come out and burn some rubber with us!
Vielen Dank aus Deutschland 👍👍👍😉😉😉
Just a heads up for f32... it is not the same rear diff, atleast on my 2014 428i xdrive, completely different setup
Good to know Thanks!
Hello, nice video, thanks for sharing. I would like to confirm again the amount of the oil. You mentioned that 1,5 liter is needed. BMW user guide and official BMW parts reseller both say 1 liter is enough? Do you really be able to get in the differential 1,5 liter? Thank you, Richard
I used 1.5 liters. I fully drained it.
Great video!
Thanks!!
Very nice video.
Well thank you!
Hi: Thank you for the videos! I have a 2016 M4. The dealer sold me 3 pints of SAF-XJ + FM booster rear axle fluid. Now, I see some folks say not to use the FM booster. Any thoughts? Thank you!
I never heard of the booster and never needed it. So strange
Hey Tommy, question for you...towards the front of the diff there is a sensor..What is that and its leaking slow on my 2016 M4. Have you changes that sensor or is there a seal on it...I dont know what it is called. lol. Any info will help...Thanks bro
I have no idea sorry
Did you feel the difference after changing the oil ??
Yes. Much smoother shifting
Both the fill and drain plugs are 60nm? You only mentioned the torque specs on the drain plug.
Yes.
Nice vid. I also did a video of the rear diff fluid change! 👍🏾 How many miles when you did the change?
32k
You seem to know A LOT about the M3. I was thinking of getting a 2015 pretty soon but wondering is there anything major I have to worry about or anything that I should look out for before purchasing
ruclips.net/video/JAzWTqPP_sg/видео.html
Hello question. Why is one bottle of differential fluid cheaper than the second one you listed? Im in the process of purchasing the materials to change mine. Thanks in advance
Just a brand
I am wonder why nit using a motive to suck the fluid in
You could !
Wait you have to change the fluid every 1200 miles or just that first 1200 mile service
First service is at 1200.
Do you need to buy brand new fill and drain plugs or can you reuse the old ones?
Yes all new
Hey friend, how's your diff mount holding? I can see you've got the old all rubber mount and my M4 has the same. Mine cracked lately and started weeping fluid...
It was actually replaced since my rear diff was leaking
@@TommyLGarage Polyurethane one or still the rubber one?
I also noticed that my f87 m2 does not hold 1.5 bottles it holds barely over 1 bottle
Did you drain it all ??
@@TommyLGarage yes I let drain for 10 mins and filled till it dripped it was barely over 1 bottle, I’m not able to find the exact amount needed for it anywhere though.
@@jackbratton5952 did u level the car out or did u just lift the back if the car?
@@Motorsports_3 lifted front put on blocks then lifted back to where it was as level as possible then drained and refilled it was also probably more on the side of where it could hold more fluid before it leaked and could only get barely over a bottle before it started pouring out. Car ran perfect after no issues. I also looked it up online on some forums and it was saying something like 1.1 L
@@jackbratton5952 ohh ok good to see u had no issues im about to change my differential fluid this weekend cause I'm have some grinding noise. Hopefully that fixes my problem
Where is the rear jack point?
It’s there. You can’t miss it
so how often do you need to change this oil?
Every 50k miles
Why are you selling your F80? Planning on buying the next gen M?
Mike Figueira surprise ;)
Tommy L Garage I’ll be watching👍🏻
I'm new here😐(wish I came earlier), great video and I've been asking myself that when I get my bmw M4 Competition, is the car gonna look more aggressive with the bmw M4 DTM champion edition rims 🤷🤨, if you can , please try them out on the F80 M3 🙏
Welcome to the family ! Not sure which wheels you’re referring to
The wheels/rims on this bmw ruclips.net/video/QuuuUZcJtZ8/видео.html
For what it's worth, I'd certainly chose some different footwear while working on cars...
Lmao true
What ramps do you have?
Home Depot special !
Wow thanks...dealership wants $600
Glad it helped
So when are you going to finally upgrade your tools with a QuickJack lift? No self-respecting DIY car enthusiast RUclipsr should be without one 😎... And it would make your camera work even easier...😉
James M. I’m working on getting a new house. Then the lift will come
Def zero need to replace those plugs basically ever, on any car. Don't see the logic here
