Daniel, Thank you so much for using my pictures as a reference, and also for your feedback/help!! I will email you with a update ASAP!

Awsome vid, thanks for sharing!

You are a legend, sir! I'm a longtime BMW owner and bought an F10 M5 about 6 months ago. Ahead of this, I spent countless hours researching all the issues with the S63 engine, but I never came across this pressure relief valve design flaw. I've not changed oil myself yet, as the car just had a service ahead of me buying it, but I'm half tempted to change oil now just to check this, as well as to clean the oil pickup tube (which you mentioned in an S63 teardown video). I'm subscribed!

Vidéo vraiment très instructive ! Merci DNL35

Hi, new subscriber here! I just watched your S63TU video and came to this video after you mentioned the oil filter cap valve issue. I had the same exact issue happen to my N63TU when I went to an oil change shop for a quick change when I was short on time. After my next oil change, I noticed that the valve was missing in the filter. I replaced the oil filter cap with a brand new one that included the valve and changed the oil myself. I believe this was around the same time that I started experiencing a VANOS code "132408 VANOS, exhaust: camshaft not at locking position at start". I recently started getting another code but this time, for the camshaft on bank 2. All 4 VANOS solenoids were replaced a few months ago as well. So to clarify, oil filter valve cap was missing, then new cap was installed, codes started showing up, then and all VANOS solenoids were replaced. My car has still been running fine and performs very well with my modifications, but I'm looking to hear from you on how I can resolve my issue. Thanks in advance.

My pressure valve actually came off last time I changed oil, thankfully I realized and fixed. I do all services myself. 2011 X5M with 84k km

Hey what do you think about the reliability of the N63R (N63TU2). Especially when it comes to pushing a stage 1 or so. What would you recommend?

Daniel, why is my s63 burning so much oil? There is no leaking anywhere in the engine bay whatsoever. The exhaust smoke is only intermittent and I have been told the PCV system is the likely cause, despite all the PCV parts are new, including Index 12 injectors and air oil separators inside the valve covers? Should I switch to thicker, ester based synthetic oil?

What the hell was wrong with the spin on metal can oil filter??? The 22-RE in my 1988 Toyota truck had one, 330k on that engine and it ran like new, didn't use oil, sadly totaled out by a tree falling on it. The 700whp supercharged LQ9 in my 1989 Caprice uses that type of filter as well, 10,000 hard ass miles on that build in the past 4-5 years and no engine/oil/bearing problems.

We all know N/S63 runs hot with turbos being almost inside the damn engine, and stock thermostat opens at 108°C, do you think it would be a good thing to put in 90°C thermostat in?!

Silly mistake more like silly design

Daniel habe e70m und habe alles wirklich von vanos bis zu Ketten und versteller bis zu ölpumpe alles neu dennoch habe ich den Fehler luftkorolation und Auslass vanos mechanisch klemmt wenn ich auf der Autobahn voll auf Gas gehe kickdovn
