00:00If you own a BMW, you already know the feeling, that little oil smell, the rough idle, or the check
00:05engine light that shows up right after payday.
00:08Well, I went digging through hundreds of listings to find the 5 parts that actually fix the most common BMW
00:13engine headaches, and I found them at prices that honestly made me do a double take.
00:18Let's get into it.
00:20Starting off with the PCV valve cover repair kit for the N47 engine, this one fits the F20, F21, F22,
00:27E90, F30, E92, basically the whole family.
00:32Here's why this matters, when that diaphragm inside the valve cover fails, you get whistling noises, rough idle, and oil
00:38getting sucked straight into your intake.
00:40Dealers want you to replace the entire cover for hundreds.
00:44This kit gives you the membrane and everything you need for $11.28.
00:50Almost 5,000 sold, sitting at a 4.8 rating, that tells you everything.
00:55Next up, a very similar repair kit, but this one covers the N47 and N47s in the X1, X3, E60,
01:03E61, E81, and E82.
01:06So if you're driving one of the diesel models, this is your part number.
01:11$9.52
01:13Think about that for a second, under 10 bucks to fix a problem that makes your engine run like it's
01:18about to give up.
01:19It comes with the membrane and the spring, install takes maybe 20 minutes with basic hand tools, and you're back
01:25to a smooth idle.
01:27Now this third one is the highest rated of the bunch at 4.9 stars, and it's a rocker cover
01:32PCV membrane and spring kit for the 2-liter TDI engines,
01:35Seed Exio, VW Amarok, Crafter, the whole VAG family.
01:39So if you've got a diesel sitting next to the BMW in the driveway, or you're working on a friend's
01:45car, keep this one bookmarked.
01:48$8.66
01:50Nearly 4,700 people bought it and rated it almost perfect.
01:54That's not luck, that's a part that just works.
01:58Switching gears to cooling now, this aluminum water hose fitting for the N54 engine,
02:03The 335i crowd knows exactly what I'm talking about.
02:07BMW made this connector out of plastic from the factory, and after a few years of heat cycles it gets
02:12brittle and cracks,
02:13and suddenly you're leaking coolant all over your driveway.
02:16This replacement is machined from aluminum, so it's basically a permanent fix.
02:22$4.42
02:25That's the cheapest peace of mind you will ever buy for a turbo BMW.
02:29And rounding out the list, another aluminum alloy version of that same water hose fitting for the 335i,
02:35matching the OEM part numbers.
02:38This one's $5.64 with a 4.7 rating, and honestly I'd grab both one to install now and one
02:44to keep in the glove box,
02:45because if you're doing a cooling system refresh you'll want spares on hand anyway.
02:49At this price there's no reason to run the plastic original and just hope for the best.
02:55All 5 links are down in the description, and prices on these do move around, so check before you order.
