  Hot fire awaits engineers who put the timing system on the back of engines.

  Automotive Engineer for Honda here. Those BMW motors are pretty solid. Toyota uses them in the base Supra. The rod bearings looking like new at 100,000 miles kind of proves that. BMW makes some great engines. It's the emissions regulators and accounting teams that force us to use plastic cooling systems. It's not just BMW. If you don't replace the cooling system at 100,000 for any car past 2008, you're on borrowed time.

  I love that you don't have a long tedious intro and music. Other channels could learn from you.

  Hey so I actually service BMWs almost exclusively here in Charleston I own JU Automotive. Where you said that the oil filter housing wasn’t the cause but the affect of overheating I can almost guarantee that it is the cause of the overheat. They typically break in that spot and do cause overheating and sometimes mix oil and coolant or vise versa. Love you !

  Yah know, Eric, you do always say, "...even the criticism..." Dude, there is nothing to criticize. My wrenching days are long over, yet my Saturday evening is would not be the same without an I DO CARS fix. No dissing, only kudos. Thank you!

  Back in the early 2000s when I was into e30s every used one I would get, I learned the first thing you did was replace the entire cooling system!

  Dude! My wife loves to listen to you in the background and watches all you&apos;re tensioner and water pump shenanigans. Today she has suggested that you need a clear safety tote (she even gave it a Rev 3 designation!) for your convenience.<br><br>She actually has learned a ton about engines and to my surprise has even spoke about engine topics while we&apos;re driving down the freeway!<br><br>Keep up the great work!

  I love how I can just come sit down with my Sunday morning coffee for video upload that&apos;s just NICE. No shouting, no drama (except throwing shade at manufacturers), just some relaxing wrenching

  An engine condemned for a blown head gasket. In my day (60&apos;s and 70s) that would have been $100 to $200 to R &amp; R the heads plus $80 to rework the heads. (New valves and springs and milling the head level. The only way we would throw the engine away would be if the block itself was warped, extremely rare.
