The N52 has been recalled from BMW for Vanos bolt replacement. I now understanding the amount of work that needs to be done just to get to those bolts. Thanks for your proffesional video. Well done 👍

I've done the job before. But this is a great refresher and I got a couple of good tips. Love strapping the wires up! Great video, well done!

Great video. I am terrified of getting it half completed and then, getting lost and confused. :) I will study your video. Thanks!

I'm doing this on an N52B30 at the moment and I just can't seem to pop the clip for the PCV off. You make it look so easy!

[Critticalation]

Doesn’t look to bad honestly looks like it will be easier on my x5 since it has more space
Thank you 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[ChrisLoVeTaiwan]

Thanks for the video and I'm blessed Z4 has huge engine bay to work on DIY

[loosendz]

Actually pretty simple once you remove all the wiring harnesses. Hence where the labor costs hits you at the shops!!

It's more like half a day job 😂😂😂

[JoiceVaderd]

I'm about to do this job. I'm surprised at how easy this is, compared to the N55

[Beamr_Guy]

nice video. but what was that last peice you took out before putting the cover back on?

[DA_BEAMERRRR]

I might have to try disconnecting the harness, but even then there's a hard oil linne that goes across the valve cover into the oil pump. Which prevents me from taking it out

[vidsexpert]

You released this right after I just did one last month 😔

[Pfalzgarage]

Cheesus Crust, I've never seen it be done on N52 or newer, what a nightmare. I know why I stopped at M52/M54. Good work though.
