BMW N55 Rod Bearing Replacement DIY Part 1 (2009-2019 BMW E90 335i, F30 335i, F87 M2, E82 135is)

►BMWs and rod bearings have a complicated history. The N55 engine is far easier on its bearings than the S54 or S85, but owners are now becoming concerned with them as the engine's age and are pushed to their limits. An FCP Euro employee found himself in that exact situation as a fresh stage 2 turbo and tune gave him some anxiety about his 160,000-mile bearings. So to ensure thousands of miles of health, we're replacing the bearings and showing you all how to do it. In this video, Gareth Foley, FCP Euro's BMW Expert, replaces the rod bearings in a BMW N55 engine. 00:00 - Intro 01:33 - Tools Needed 03:00 - BMW N55 Engine Cover & Air Box Removal 06:12 - BMW N55 Engine Brace Removal 06:55 - BMW N55 Ignition Coil Removal 10:35 - BMW N55 Oil Drain & Filter Replacement 16:42 - BMW N55 Engine Fan Removal 18:22 - BMW N55 Serpentine Belt Removal 19:37 - Bracing The Engine 20:24 - BMW N55 Suspension Component Disconnect 25:25 - BMW N55 Subframe Drop Procedure 29:17 - Dropping the Oil Pan 32:12 - BMW N55 Windage Tray Removal 33:40 - BMW N55 Oil Pump Removal 36:30 - Watch Part 2!
