Keep up the good work.

I was surfing the web to get some idea of how common this problem is and ran into your post. Hats off to you guys. Such a simple solution to what was a very complex repair. We'll be contacting you this morning. Our local dealer just quoted us $8700. We owe you many thanks.

I have to replace a radiator on a 03 745li

[hp11208]

$1600? thats still alot if i bought that part and DIY myself it would be less

[jonrasho1]

"And we use this very special tool, which is a block of wood and a screwdriver"

[oscarv362370]

@jonrasho1 lots of humor jaja...

[shawgirl17]

what is the pipe called



[AllGermanAuto]

@shawgirl17 this is the AGA expandable coolant pipe

[tuuunas]

does this affect the 645 v8's?

[AllGermanAuto]

@tuuunas it affects all vehicles with the N62 engine. Please visit our website to find all applications!

[smrljak]

@AllGermanAuto I think this is M62 engine not N62 ??? anyway i like this inovation and like to know where I can order this pipe ??? thanks

[formula8888]

You guys are Brilliant 

[alpinweiss]

Funny how some americans still drive lowsy american cars...

[bwbhammer]

This is a brilliant fix. I will be ordering one very soon! This is will save me ALOT of money.

I really like BMW I don't buy it just because of all of them have problems u need to spend money to drive BMW when u even buy brand new by the time u reach 50k u will c u spent a lot of money on it that's why I buy only Mercedes I had C and E class with more than 240k still running strong no problem only changed waterpump on c for around $300 I love MB they run for ever BMW has engine problems on all models they suck :(

[jaymum23]

@profesorborat This is sometimes true. BMWs are more hit-and-miss than MBs and Porsche when it comes to durability. Still, I have friends who have nearly trouble-free E46 330is, and the E90/92 M3 has shown to be very reliable. I do think that there is evidence of cost-cutting in the wrong areas in certain BMWs. They are so focused on performance efficiency that some times they forget to engineer some durability into certain components.

[DreamMaker745]

Does anyone in Atlanta Ga know of a shop that can do this repair the same way??

[melody2484]

@DreamMaker745 ...We do this repair all the time at Munich Motorsport which is in Atlanta Ga. The number is 770-458 5522

[DreamMaker745]

@melody2484 Thank you for your quick response. On average what do you charge for this repair on the E65 2002? I know you can't be exact and I won't quote you I'm just trying to get an idea. Thank you!

[melody2484]

@DreamMaker745... We do this repair all the time at Munich Motorsport which is located in Atlanta. the number is 770-458-5522

[LOKOGONO]

@DreamMaker745 I KNOW A GUY ONE BIMMERFEST DOT OCM THAT LIVES IN ATLANTA AND DOES THIS FOR CHEAP

[dieudonneMC]

I'd just get a whole new engine instead of pay 9K dollars! But dang, Im really excited at the solution here!!!

[LOKOGONO]

i hate my bimmer now :(

[GindyBrat1954]

Now THAT's ingenuity!

[trijjj]

dealers in Us really charge around 9000 dollars for that plastic seal replacement? is it a joke or so? you can get a whole new engine for that price here in europe.. no doubt dealers are better known as STEALERS..

crazy.. but these guys did a good job.. well done

[dieudonneMC]

@trijjj  Fukin Thieves! i am very impressed at the solution the guys at All German came up with! That is using the noggin! I was about to buy a 7 series, Im gonna rethink that now.

[jabagryz]

i have a same problem (((((

[TheAviator8]

Nice innovation.

[bobl78]

I´m german and I´m ashamed what today´s technology is.... what a bullshit.

What is next ? A coolant line through a piston with a cheewinggumm seal ?

And when new, that car is so expensive... BMW´s engineers should quit and sell salad in a supermarket. Why using a tube inside the engine instead a hose around it ? Answer: money

[vageitahografi]

BMW Company purposely made mistake because AllGermanCars is Relative With Bimmer Company,and they wont him to be little more rich by selling this tube, He should be on Jay Leno 'Pitch To America' lol

[7674Princess]

That was the slickest thing I have seen THUS far...Way to go All German Auto!!!!.....Hey what is the name of the guy hosting???...He is HELLA cute....& I LOOOVE his accent. I would bang him in a heartbeat!!!

XOXOXO

@7674Princess  That was Martin Himself

That was Martin Himself

[VhUgGz]

I have a question: I like the 2002 745Li, but i heard the 2004 fixed some of the problems with the 02' and 03' models. Did it?

[treborx23]

Your video is very informative. Now I'm planning on buying a newer 7 series.

[tperron3]

That is amazing, I was a BMW tech for about 6 years, I love the cars, hated flawed designs like those tubes. You guys should be very proud of your selves.

[vuki011]

Good work guys!!!! keep on doing it!!!

[jrice4069]

Some of the information provided here is incorrect. The cylinder heads, valve covers and timing chain do not have to be removed to install the OEM part. And there wouldn't be 2-3 weeks of downtime. It can be done in two days.

[melody2484]

@jrice4069  Your wrong and you dont know what you are talking about. You do have to remove said parts and the dealer takes your engine out to do the repair.

[jrice4069]

@melody2484 Actually, I do know what I'm talking about. The upper and lower timing case covers on the N62 can be removed without removing, the heads, oil pan or even valve covers. Only the fasteners that thread into these components need to be removed. I have done this repair multiple times with no issue. The coolant pipe described in the video is an ingenious product - I'm just simply pointing out that some of the things said on the video are not true.

[LOKOGONO]

@jrice4069 so what do i have to remove to install the oem pipe with out removing all that crap

[mvj500]

Im having a coolant leak in the engine for an BMW X5. Does it work the same way for an X5 engine?

[AllGermanAuto]

The coolant pipe applies to certain BMW N62 engines. It applies to 2004-2006 BMW X5 4.4i and 4.8is (E53) as well as the 2007-2010 BMW X5 4.8i (E70).

[bmwe34530i]

@AllGermanAuto hi there you guys seem very good at what you do! iv got a 1994 e34 m5 3.8 and i need to change my antifreeze/coolant i sure these systems need bleeding dont they? also do you know where the bleed nipple/screw is many thanks :)

[lilgrza]

Do i need to take the fan out to get to the water pump

[NYkiosk]

THIS is how repair should always look , in europe auto services are not repairing cars , they only change parts

[the1thatgotirwin]

What a terrible engine design. The bmw engineer who designed this engine couldn't take the extra 5 minutes to make a collapsible pipe? Its almost like they wanted it to be such a costly pain in the ass all over a 5 dollar rubber seal.

[NYkiosk]

@the1thatgotirwin

bmw builds cars which are suppsed to brake after 150.000km

[7477238]

So if left unattended can the coolant leak into the engine oil? Or does it simply leak out of the engine block? I love how BMW call out such high numbers like it's absolutely nothing. Guess that comes with the territory of owning a premium car like such.

[soulmanplaya3]

@zacharyhocutthsm

No it does not get good gas mileage, one of the heaviest sedans on the road, its like an SUV at best especially the older models past 2007

[avplayer1]

were can i get one of though pipes. if someone can tell me and give me a phone number or website that would be nice thank you.

[AllGermanAuto]

you can get one of the coolant pipe kits by calling All German Auto at 760-738-4626

[parkermartin161]

Neat. I'm anguishing over whether to buy a recent Jag V8 or a clean E38. I'm still on the fence. I can't stand the looks of the Bangle 7s, so that's out.

For this vid, I would have liked to have seen the step where you cleaned the metal shaving and dust out of the valley. It's visible later that you did clean it, but it would have been cooler to see either cleaning it out, or even better vacuuming the dust while cutting, my personal favorite trick.

[drumadrian]

awesome video and fix! I wished I lived is southern California now.

[parkermartin161]

@drumadrian Escondido is a very cool place to live, if you have enough bucks!

[AllGermanAuto]

we ship the kits all over the US and internationally. So if you are interested in the coolant pipe kit just let us know.

[lcplherrera]

@AllGermanAuto

Is there a phone number or E-mail where I can reach you? My 750i has this problem.

Thank You.

[lcplherrera]

@AllGermanAuto

Is there a Phone number to a plce of business or an Email where you can be reached? My 750i has this problem. Thank you for your help.

[lcplherrera]

Please Help My 750i has this problem. Where can i order this part? Thank you!

[lcplherrera]

@AllGermanAuto

[dalilrascal1]

My uncle Alex recently ordered this part and had it shipped up here to Vancouver, Canada. As far as I know. All German Auto is the only company in the world to manufacture such a pipe. We had it installed as per the video's instructions and the car is running perfectly. No leaks, nothing. This is a HUGE cost advantage. The service and rapid shipment from AGA was nothing short of exceptional!

[spinn4]

there goes my bread and butter for my family... :(

[decibelchild]

good work mates

im glad to see things are getting done right

[lickaun]

firstly really great solution but, its in an area thats under constant vibration would the threads not loosen over time if they are not locked in some way , i work in maintenancein a pharmaceutical plant and we couldnt used something like that because in an area under vibration the threads would work loose over time and leak ??????

[Colyers]

LOL what's the BMW Special Tools' part number for that block of wood =]

<--- used to work at a dealership.

Good work guys.

[scudrunner79]

Ok, are the 545i's having this problem?

[Colyers]

@scudrunner79

if they have the same motor N62 I'm guessing then yes.

[AllGermanAuto]

This model is having the same problem but we don't normally see it happening until about 100,000 miles.

[scudrunner79]

Is this also for 545i?

[AllGermanAuto]

Yes, this will work for the 2004-2005 545i with the N62 engine!

[checkshalt]

I am from Munich, I have a 745 and it had this Problem 6 months ago. The car was 3 weeks at BMW. Thanks god I had a warranty!! But in our BMW 7 I-net Forum we all look very interessted on your Vid and this Invention.Just great!!!!! I am sure you will get order from Germany.

[gtwo05]

Amazing, I now feel comfortable about holding onto my 745 for a long time. Great job AGA!

[wirsindheldenowns]

awesome!

[harjothundal]

5 stars all the way, such an ingenious design for such a horrible design flaw!

[teejaylentz]

You rock - this is awesome! It's About time someone came up with an alternative fix for this problem!

[AChristensen48]

This is the coolest repair method! What a great invention! These guys are really good. I'm ordering one right now for my 745il!

[ottoch56]

I have a 745 and plan to hold onto it for a long time. I would definitely do this if needed. This is awesome!
