The belt and pulleys should also be on your list because they can shred the belt when the idler fails very common on the N54. Great content

DIY from auto to manual would be great.

Dope video. Thanks for the maintenance tips. I was looking for a no bullshit, top priority list like yours. Gonna hit em one at a time!

Great advice Mike! New N54 owner and I will be sure to follow your guide on maintenance before going FBO + MHD.

Manual DIY would be sick. Subbed, good vid

This video just got you a subscribe. 100% right I started progress to full bolt on and then started running into issues. Oil filter housing and valve cover leaked onto the belt, it slipped, snapped and sucked into the engine. Luckily I was just idling and taught myself to replace the crankshaft seal, drop the oil pan to extract belt debris, and replace all weak point gaskets. It was a pain and took weeks. DO THE MAINTENTANCE FIRST. I almost destroyed my engine but learned through the mistakes how to work on these cars.

Forgot the most important part Injectors. They will fail and blow a piston ring. Also, EKPM3 Module and MSD80 are common to go out and will leave you stranded if they do.

I think one of the biggest things that people don’t ever talk about is the timing chain. I bought a 08 335i with 126k and 5, 000 miles later the chain began to rattle bad. I replaced it just in time before it went out. Many people focus on these big issues you addressed but the ones we never hear about they go unknown.

I'd be interested in the manual or DCT swap DIY for N54/N55 builds. Seems Legit Garage may have a cool DCT swap kit in the future. It would also be cool to showcase N54/N55 builds that can sustain medium to advanced drift/time attack/autox usage. Since N54/N55 cars are approaching $5k +/- on the used market, I can imagine a bunch of 16 year olds buying them for track missile and guard rail destroyer usage. So if you can help solve their potential problem of oil, coolant, transmission, differential, and oil pressure issues down the road, I bet you'll get more views.

I’ve got an 08 and have owned it since 2012. I did all the maintenance that you described over time, have had a mild MHD tune on it and have had no problems and am still on the stock turbos with 120k on the clock. Easy car to own if treated right, maintained and not beat to death and put down wet.

Thank you for this video I am confident about this car as my next build

Injectors and MSD80 on my 07 335i went out. Changed them to Index 12 and MSD81 so fingers cross that’s it after all the other maintenance you covered on this video.
