  1. BMW X Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of X Series
    Evening all I’m wondering if anyone might be able to help. The DPF on my X3 had to be replaced last week and since it‘s come back, the front wheel alignment is suddenly out of kilter. Basically the steering wheel is pointing at around 1 o’clock to drive in a straight line! Would any of the...

    Hello guys, I have been having a bit of a nightmare with my car lately, I had to be recovered twice and car is with the garage still. I have a "crank but no start" issue, which was fixed (car worked fine for a day) and then happened again. Car was working fine and then one morning it would...

    Hi there I would like to confirm if someone can let me know the location of the fuel filter on the above car. I followed the video below but removing the cover in the video does not provide me with access to the fuel filter. I am based in Toronto so this would be the north American version the...

    Think I’ve finally got to the bottom of this annoying vibration on idle (worse when selecting drive). After having another look the other day I noticed the engine covers and air box on the slam panel move a lot on idle and even more when I select drive. Not much I can do about the engine cover...

    Has anyone replaced a leaking oil filter housing gasket on the N57 engine? Mine is weeping - I've got the new gkt and o-ring, just want to know how easy/messy the job is. Access is one of my worries...if I just take the air intake pipe off can it all be reached? 6-off M8 bolts I believe...

    Anybody managed to do this job on my model? Eg. remove the oil filter housing to change the gaskets. I attempted this Sunday and failed, wasted at least 5 hours and gave up. I searched the net and forums quite extensively and did not find any information before taking on the task. In my...

    Hi, I just did one of those "while you're in there" moments and thought that it might be useful to report back. Most of the information comes from here, but not all together, so it may help others to see what worked and what to avoid. Car is a 2009 320D with N47 engine. N° 1 on the things to...

    Embarrassingly I have to admit defeat on this one. Can someone please point out where the oil filter is on my 2013 BMW X6 XDRIVE30D N57 3.0 - google searches bring up a different (older) engine. I've always done my own servicing so pretty versed in these things but on this occasion I am...

    Just want to double-check that when I replace the oil filter, the only rubber seal I use is the large one that goes on the screw in cap? With the filter I also got a couple of small rubber seals and I tend not to use those. Am I supposed to use them? This diagram seems to show them...

    Internet says 36mm but when I went to change today though neither had large enough bit or tape measure with me, I had a 32mm spanner which seemed just a tad too small, so 36mm seems to large, car is 1999 and stored 20 miles away so can't just nip out and measure So what do I buy? Sent from...
