I Engine Removal and Installation
WARNING -
Use extreme caution when draining and disposing of engine
coolant. Coolant is poisonous andlethal to humans andpets.
Pets are attracted to coolant because of its sweet smell and
taste. Seek medical attention immediately if coolant is ingest-
---
Working at rear of intake manifold:
Disconnect brake booster vacuum line (A).
Disconnect fuel tank vent line
(6).
Disconnect hoses (C and D) at coolant manifold
- Remove transmission harness support (E).
- Remove oil filter housing assembly from fender:
- Remove oil filter housing mounting fasteners.
Use stiff wire to secure oil filter housing to engine.
NOTE-
Do not disconnect oil lines from filter housing.
4 Disconnect supply and return fuel lines (where applicable) at
or near fuel rail. Plug open fuel lines.
NOTE-
BMW uses three styles of fuel line connections; a slngle use
clamp, a locking fitting that uses special tool
16 7 050 to re-
lease, and a
quiclc release sleeve (arrows) that disconnects
the line when depressed.
WARNING-
Fuel In fuel line is under pressure (approx. 3 - 5 bar or45 -
75 psi) and may be expelled. Do not smoke or worlc near
heaters or other fire hazards. Keep a fire extinguisher
handy. Before disconnecting fuel hoses, wrap a cloth
around fuel hoses to absorb any lealcing fuel. Catch and
dispose of escaped fuel. Plug all open fuel lines.
. Always unscrew the fuel tank cap to release pressure
in the tank before worlcing on the tank or lines.
< Remove air filter housing and mass air flow sensor:
Disconnect mass air flow sensor (A) and
intalte air temper-
ature sensor
(6) electrical harness connectors.
. Remove air filter housing mounting fastener (arrow).
Loosen intake hose clamp (C).
M62 engine: Remove hose at idle air stabilizer.
Remove air filter housing with mass air flow sensor.
Remove intalte hose from throttle body.

Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
- Disable ignition system by removing DME main relay. See
610 Component Locations for relay location.
WARNING-
. The ignition system produces high voltages that can be fa-
tal. Avoid contact with exposed terminals and use
exfreme
caution when working on a car with the ignition switched on
or the engine running.
Do not touch or disconnect ignition
components while
the engine is running or being cranked by the starter.
Failure to remove the DME main relay or attempting to
disa-
bie the fuel andignition systems by other methods may result
in damaoe to the enoine control module
(ECM).
- - Remove plastic cylinder head cover(s)
,,I . ,. .*,.,,&- - Remove coil grounding straps.
I CAUTION-
I nition system components. I
- Remove coils.
- Remove spark plugs from all cylinders.
NOTE-
Check the spark plugs for oil deposits that may indicate poor
cylinder sealing, then set them aside in order. Used spark
plugs should be reinstalled in the same cylinder from which
they were removed.
4 Install compression gauge in first cylinder spark plug hole,
tight enough to form a good seal.
- With parking brake set, transmission in PARK or NEUTRAL,
and accelerator pedal pressed to floor, crank engine with
starter. Record highest value indicated by gauge.
NOTE-
* The compression gauge reading should increase with
each compression stroke and reach near its maximum
reading in about
4-6 strokes.
All cylinders should reach maximum compression in the
same number of
strolces. If a cylinder needs significantly
more strokes to reach
maximum compression, there is a
problem.

Fuel Tank and Fuel pump/
- Remove suction hose from tank filler neck carefully to avoid
damaging filler neck baffle plate.
CAUTION-
After finishing repairs but before starling engine, be sure
there is at least
5 liters (1.5 gallons) of fuel in tanlc. The fuel
pump will be damaged if run without fuel.
Fuel tank, removing and installing
- Remove fuel tank filler cap and drain tank as described
earlier.
- Disconnect negative cable from battery.
CAUTION-
Prior to disconnecting the battea read the battery discon-
nection cautions given in
001 General Cautions and
Warnings.
- Remove rear seat bottom cushion. Peel forward lip of carpet
from beneath seat cushion and carefully peel back insulation
to expose fuel tank access cover on left and right sides. Re-
move covers.
Disconnect right side supply hose and
electr~cal harness
connector (arrows).
D~sconnect left side return hose and electrical harness
connector.
Working inside car, disconnect parking
bralte cable ends
from parking brake lever. See
340 Brakes.
Lift car and support safely.
Make sure the car is stable and
we/ supported at all times.
Use a professional automotive lift
orjack stands designed for
the purpose. A floorjaclc is not adequate support.
- Remove complete exhaust system and heat shield. See 180
Exhaust System.
- Remove drive shaft. See 260 Driveshaft

Tool for bleeding clutch hydraulics (Tool No. 21 5 030)
21 5 030 I
The clutch is hydraulically actuated by the master and slave
cylinders. With the self-adjusting clutch
(SAC), clutch disc
wear is automatically taken up through the self-adjusting
pressure plate springs, making pedal feel consistent through-
out the life of the clutch.
A soft or spongy feel to the clutch pedal, long pedal free-play,
or grinding noises
from the gears while shifting can all indi-
cate problems with the clutch hydraulics. In these circum-
stances it is best to
star? with a clutch fluid flush, followed, if
necessary, by replacement of the hydraulic parts.
NOTE-
The clutch hydraulic system shares the fluid reservoir and flu-
id with the brake hydraulic system.
Clutch hydraulic system,
bleeding and flushing
If the clutchlbralte fluid is murky or muddy, or has not been
changed within the last two years, flush the system and
change the fluid. Flushing the old fluid from the clutch lines is
done using a bralte system pressure bleeder.
- Remove brake fluid reservoir cap. Using a clean syringe, re-
move brake fluid from reservoir. Refill reservoir with clean
DOT
4 bralte fluid.
Worlting inside engine compartment, remove left
interiorven-
tilation filter housing:
Release 3 plastic taps
(A) on duct. Earlier models use a
single release latch.
Rotate duct inward to remove.
Disconnect electrical harness to hood position switch.
Remove filter housing cover.
Release spring lock
(B) on interior ventilation housing and
remove housing.

Anach pressure brake bleeder to fluid reservoir and pump
bleeder a few times to pressurize hydraulic fluid system.
CAUTION-
* Do not exceed 2 bar (29 psi) pressure at the fluid resenfoil
when bleeding or flushing the hydraulic system.
Brake fluid is poisonous, highly corrosive and danger-
ous to the environment. Wear safety glasses and
rub-
bergloves when working with brake fluid. Do not siphon
brale fluid with your mouth. Immediately clean away
any fluid spilled on painted surfaces and wash with wa-
ter, as brale fluid will remove paint.
Always use new brake fluid from a fresh, unopened
container.
Brake fluid will absorb moisture from the air.
This can lead to corrosion problems in the clutch and
brake hydraulic systems, ;nd will also lower the brake
fluid boiling point. Dispose of brale fluid properly.
- Raise and safely support vehicle.
WARNING-
Make sure the car is stable and well supported at all times.
Use a professional automotive lift orjackstands designed for
the purpose. A floor
iack is not adequate support.
- If necessary, remove transmission splash shield.
Hydraulic system, bleeding
Worlting underneath transmission, connect a hose from
clutch slave cylinder bleeder valve
(arrow) to a container.
Open bleeder valve and allow bralte fluid to expel until
clean fluid comes out, free of air bubbles.
Close bleeder valve and disconnect pressure bleeding
equipment from fluid reservoir.
Slowly operate clutch pedal about
10 times. Fill reservoir
with clean fluid as necessary.
