    Really appreciate your video. One of the low beams just went out on my 2012 X5 and, because it's a BMW, I was worried that the replacement would involve something complex like removing a fender or having to reset a setting in the ECU or PCM. So glad to see it's a straightforward replacement. Video is well done with a good use of graphics to explain motions involved to release covers and clips, something often overlooked in other DIY UA-cams. Thank you!

    Thanks for the tip! Here's my take... The replacement in concept is really 'easy'... What makes it very difficult is the confined small cramped space. Disassembly of old light is easy... Putting it back is frustrating. You can't really see it... You have to one hand it, inserting the plug you'll need to get a feel for the connection. Once connected, you need to insert it and secure it with the wire clips. You can do one at a time. Then for the cap, give it a slight jostle (shimmy) until it lines up and pops back in. Good luck!

    Great job! Helpful as well. 2 suggestions - you may want to open the oil filler cap when draining to increase amount of oil that drains. Also, recommend replacing crush washer with each change. They are very inexpensive. Especially when compared to the cost of an M96 engine :)

    Thanks so much for making this video and helping teach the next generation how to wrench! :-) Special thanks regarding the H8 vs H9 battery size. There was an H8 battery in my 2009 CTTS and it was only a year old but was clearly not "enough" for the car. Local Porsche dealer confirmed that it should be the H9 for my VIN as well. Would've never known that if you hadn't mentioned it here so thanks for that!

    • @michaelgonzalez6971
      @michaelgonzalez6971 5 місяців тому

      I'm with you. I have now done both sides of my X5, and each time, it took 2-3 hours of grunting, cursing, bruised hands and just overall torture. The main problem is the length of the cable to the connector. BMW should have made that about 6 inches longer, and then the job would take just minutes as this video suggests. Instead, it requires super human dexterity to fit the new bulb to the connector using only one hand while blind. One might ask why no one at BMW thought about making it easier. Perhaps, the $250 - $350 quotes from service providers suggests the answer.

    Never driven one and would surely drive one but i have the feeling this 930 would drive like a vw bug that is modern and powerful and i love the bug feel.The engine noise is behind you and you are trying to run away from the sound but like a shadow it keeps up with you, compared to front engine that is in front and pulling you the driver along so the noise is with you in front.With the 911 the sound is behind and you have that silence in front.

    drive.google.com/file/d/1KfD69AY-ZD0t79zSavQkKFb8tuj4O8Ey/view?usp=drive_link My car, like yours, has another halogen bulb inside the headlight (I marked the place on the attached picture). What kind of bulb is that and what is its role? It seems to me that it is part of the DRL system together with the halo rings. What kind of bulb is it (H1 according to realoem) and where is it accessible? I would change it with an LED bulb. Thank you!

    Thanks for the video. It's easier to do one clip at a time! I did the passenger side and space is tight but was able to get it done, but took much longer than here. Plug the light in before putting it back. BMW could have moved one of their "supports" for the fender either 1" in front or about 4" back and it would have been much easier. Bought bulb from link below (Phillips DS1) around $50 with coupon. BMW quoted me $243 for the bulb only no installation.
