different car review

I actually replaced my cooler at the stealership for free 2 months ago, and it hasn't lost coolant since then, but up to until then it was losing around 0.1l every month... f30 318d lci

I have a BMW F11 520d xDrive with the B47 engine. I replaced the timing chain preventively at around 230.000km, it was still good, and replaced the EGR cooler at the BMW dealership for free as a part lf the recall. The car is doing great, done about 30.000km with it, mostly highway (it is a big car) and with regular maintenance (10.000km) it should be going strong. If you take care of your car, it will take care of you.

My f30 320d ed 2014 already has 340k km, only clutch, egr recall, intake manifold cleaning and valve cover gasked was changed. No chain rattle, still sturdy when i checked while fixing VC gasket. I perform 15k km oil changes - oil and filters from official bmw dealer (bmw ones) since 200k km. Maybe a turbo a bit whiney when its cold

[tatukuusio]

As an addition to these issues, a lot of B47 engines have suffered turbo failures due to ice forming in the intake pipes and getting sucked into the turbo. This is only a problem in colder climates. Some have tried to solve the issue by fitting an N47 intake pipe into their B47, which doesn't have as many places where ice can form.

I own BMW 320d f30 N47 and your video is very helpful Thank you and love you from India

[code]

Wow, thanks so much for this information. Your videos are always detailed, informative and produced to a very high standard. Any chance that you can make a used car buying guide for first time car buyers? I am wondering if there are some car brands and models you would recommend to buy used

[jamesspacer]

Maybe the fuel pump fails more often in Eastern Europe not because of the fuel quality but because a lot of them are broke and only have 3 litres of fuel in the fuel tank at any moment. This creates more chances of air bubbles being sucked into the fuel pump while the car is moving and the fuel is slushing around the bottom of the fuel tank and this “semi dry running” of the pump is what makes it fail prematurely. How about that my friend?😉

[robertasviskupaitis]

ohhh boy I have been waiting for this!

I am more waiting for Volvo 5 cylinder engines in P3 platform. Ideally the diesel 136kw all the way to 158kw and of course petrol T6 6cylinder engine

[mrx]

Wow you actually did it. Thank you so much for this video

[mesutarslan]

Hey man you are a wonder! Can I share your videos by translating them into Turkish language, you are very informative, even if your answer is no, thank you, great content. 👏

[jnz]

Been driving the N57 engine since 3 years and added 80k km, no problems so far

[SimeonMihalkov]

Basically it’s best to buy a Bike

Can you do a video for the engines jn w212 and w205

[MrBowBow]

to the point I like it, keep up the great work b47 is a great engine but like all engine they need looking after

[DashCamSerbia]

A Giulia video would be nice (939 Alfas too, of course). And Maserati videos as well.

[Swiss.]

Could you make a video on the VW Passat B8? Thanks

[RubenEggers]

Fuel in the wiring - how is that even possible?

[martinstanev]

Damn I was thinking of buying an b47 as a first car not anymore

[Jan]

Can you make and for F10 Diesel models ?
Thank you

[DashCamSerbia]

Hmm. Does E60 M47 has the same EGR cooler recall?

[trezol]

I'm glad I bought a 2.0 CRTDI passat instead
