I Bought The BEST Budget BMW Sports Car On The Planet! Factory Forged Engine, Easy 500 HP, RELIABLE! That was the title to my first video on my new to me 2007 BMW 335i and now I'm rethinking things. In this video, I take apart this engine and look deep inside to find a major factory defect. Actually about 5 factory defects but nonetheless we can fix this all on a budget and save a ton of money DIY style. Oh and if you've ever wondered how to clean intake valves on direct injection engines then this is your video. I clean them with crushed walnut shells and with chemicals. Enjoy!

    I have had mine since 2007 new all service done by me even from new, replaced with larger turbo's 4 years ago and only minor problemd along the way, I have had more problems with the Fords and Chevy's in my 65 years, it is a rockets ship.

    HEJ. Alex! Think you can convince Amsoil to give Aussie car nuts your dealer discount? Only one seller in the country! You can claim Pacific free trade agreement rules! A galon of Volvo P3 ACEA A5 B5 5/30W is $AUD130…….only Royal Purple charges that much here , similar LIQUI MOLY is $aud90 from distributor. If you want to hook up a new dyno shop /mechanic who is starting out with Amsoil ill send him your way!. Any chance of looking at Volvo hot cars?

    You wanna come pick up my 07 335xi that’s been off the road since I’ve been in college and fix her up for me? Accepting index 12 donations and turbo donations🤣🤣

    Only thing I've noticed is the guys that try to mod the heck out of an N54 that they have issues. Sure you can get tons of HP out of an N54 but with any engine the more you Mod it the less reliable you make it. Hate on the N54 all ya want but in it's stock form and properly maintained its an awesome engine.

    Common Sense keep the index 1 injectors in there until you get the index 12 shipped to your house

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Shulick says:

    Don't forget to mention the filters that are ahead of the Vanos valve solenoids that you can take out with a torch and clean those off or replace them for 10 bucks

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Shulick says:

    You should put that in your Google calendar to do the valve cleaning maintenance every five or six months

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Shulick says:

    Why didn't you vacuum out suck out the cleaner and then use the slow motion drill with a clutch on it to clean the back of those valves with that brush?

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Shulick says:

    Walmart self clean off carbon buildup on your intake valves with crushed Walnut shells to sandblast the back of the valves to remove the carbon along with the vacuum attachment
