How Does A Professional Mechanic Inspect A BMW?

How Does A Professional Mechanic Inspect A BMW?

Were goin back to the basics with this one folks!

I got a new customer with a 2001 BMW E46 325CI convertible, with the M54b25 engine and a 5 speed automatic ZF 5HP19 transmission. Its almost identical to my giveaway car!

In todays video im showing you every step of my inspection process. Were going to diagnose and fix some customer concerns, look over all of the common culprits that these E46s and M54s face, perform an oil service, and write up our inspection findings like a professional service writer.

This video should contain a wealth of knowledge if youre new to wrenching, new to BMWs, or if you just want to learn the common issues to look out for! I hope you enjoy!

Is there a way to email you? I would like for you to do some work on my Bmw if that is possible I am a new member and it would be nice to talk with you and get a quote on repairs. If you could message me I’d appreciate it a lot. Any help that I can get? 7:41

I hope that $100 was for your labor! The LiquiMoli oil is almost $100 by itself. Great work.

I'm 74 years old, retired now, and ran a small repair shop for years. I had plenty of business, never once tried to pork customers with unwanted repairs,
Like you, I gave them a prioritized item list of my concerns……………….. They always came back, you'll do just fine !!!
