By July of this year, it will have been down for about a year.
Struggling to understand surge. I despise Idel. I've finally overcome my depression. And I'm prepared to deal with numerous disappointments.

There have been ups and downs, but M54 has always been nice to me.

Look up "the50skid" on YouTube; he's obsessed with these motors and uses them in everything he does. With a kind message and the link, he will likely be able to diagnose it just by listening 😂

Videos have been helpful for me in the past, so I'm familiar with the concept. How is your guy, the BMW Doctor?

Who is he? 😂

If I had to guess, I'd say that the50skid made his movies for the love of learning and sharing, not to boost his ego or amass likes.

Changing the oil was the first step in trying to mend my relationship with this vehicle. The vehicle is now located in the garage, undercover.
And look at what I receive!
