I really need to concentrate when listening to the BMW Doctor very fast speaker!, found his video's really useful and helped me make my mind up on my recent 3.0si N52K purchase

The N52 really is an excellent motor, especially in the Z4 (since the engine bay is massive so you can easily work on it).

I also find it is quick enough for UK roads.

Jeez he doesn't half witter on doesn't he! Can't help thinking he's also a little bias.

Being a bit cynical here, but he also changes his mind from year to year

One vid he shows the uses of engine flush additive on his M54 and then a year later he puts out a video explaining why you should never ever use engine flush additives...

I'm not sure if the guy is talking sense or rubbish on some of his videos

Lol - he def makes his videos about 10 times as long as they need to be. I wonder why that would be

BMW’s best non-M naturally aspirated engine imo.

Well definitely their best non-M naturally aspirated straight 6.

Luckily I've still got one in my 330i, although it performed better in my Z4s!

I do NOT rate this guy at all. Especially after he was hawking that stupid fkg 'engine treatment sh!t in a bottle'. 'Guys, this is allll yew wiw need if youz got engine knocking an stuff, I'm telling yaz now it's farkin miracle this stuff. If youz don't buy it straight away you're missing some bwaincells init'.
What an utter tw@t on a stick! lol
He became quite irate at me in the comments when I advised I was unsubscribing from his channel for hawking paid-for snake oil'.
His response: 'You unsub all yew want mate, yewl see I was right an you was wrong!'

Anyway, it's M54 ftw.

The guy can be a bit of tool, but some of his videos can be useful. Take away what is useful and ignore the rest. What amazes me despite being a tool, recently he's been gaining large number of subscribers fast!

Have to agree about the N52 though it is BMW's best NA 6 pot engine!

Wonderful engines that really make the car. Enjoy.

Non-M*

Their best 6 pot is the S54 mate.
